Soft cover. Zustand: New. This is the fourth revised version of the book, which was first published in 1977. It surveys the major developments in India's social, economic and cultural history up to the end of the ancient period and explains the rise and fall of empires with reference to their material bases. It pays special attention to elements of change and continuity and gives the lie to the view that Indian society has been stagnant and changeless, a view propagated by Western scholars in the heyday of British imperialism and which continues to be peddled ingeniously in our own times. It analyses the changing forms of exploitation and social tensions and the role of religion and superstition in curbing them. It also stresses the fact that the achievements of ancient India, remarkable though they were, cannot cover up the social and economic disparities which we have inherited from the past. The assassination of Mahatma Gandhi and the demolition of the Baburi Masjid are two . . . unforgettable milestones in the unfolding of the backward-looking Hindu revivalist and fascist politics of contemporary India. Since both Harappa and Mohenjodaro are situated now in Pakistan, the Hindu revivalists are busy locating the epicentre of the Harappan culture in the elusive Saraswati valley. Some Indian historians tirelessly speak of their [the Guptas] rule as a golden age. . . . The truly golden age of the people does not lie in the past, but in the future, if at all.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Stereotypes and history. 2. Questioning the symbols. 3. Diversity of epic traditions. 4. Nudity and sexuality: divine and human. The construction of Hindu religious identity began in the late nineteenth century and has continued unabated. Accompanied by the demonization of minorities, especially Muslims, and the creation and propagation of absurd ideas about Hinduism, the Hindu identity has become increasingly aggressive in its manifestations. Its ideologues incessantly try to create fanciful stereotypes about Hinduism and redefining its boundaries is their monomania. By projecting Rama as the supreme God, denying the diversity of religious beliefs and practices negating the plurality of epic traditions, and by appropriating and inventing cultural symbols of questionable Hindu association, they present a grossly falsified view of India's past.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. "The present collection consists of essays and short notes on some of the issues that dominate the political and cultural discourse of contemporary India which is witnessing the unprecedented ascendancy of the Hindu Right. The volume represents a spontaneous response to its several loony assertions about the history and culture of India: India is a Hindu rashtra and the Hindu identity goes back to geological time; the cow has always been sacred and unslayble; Hinduism is a tolerant religion; mythologies are the true histories of India; chanting of Bharat Mata ki Jai is an indisputable proof of one's patriotism; Indian historians are 'Macaulay's children' stupid statements such as these, made with increasing frequency by the Hindutva votaries, figure prominently in public discourse as well as in private drawing room conversations. This short yet timely volume seeks to debunk the myths of a fantastic antiquity of Hindu identity, spuriousness of the Brahminical tolerance and the pseudo nationalism of the saffron brigade whose historio-graphy is rooted in colonialism and has multiple western paternity. It is therefore addressed more to those lay men and women who may be vulnerable to the hocus-pocus of the Sangh Parivar and less to its members who are averse to reading, and rational thinking and love to wallow in their ignorance.".…

The primary focus of most scholars in the field of medieval Indian studies has been on economic history Their judgement and estimate of medieval Indian society are largely based on the data available on economic social and politico-administrative institutions In contrast processes and phenomena that belong to the spheres of mentality religion culture scientific knowledge the very worldview of medieval Indians have attracted little attention and mostly as an appendix to the ?fundamental? themes The typical historical treatise on the medieval period deals with political events the economy agriculture crafts and trade major social groups their relations and life the administrative system taxation and at the end as a concession ?a bit of culture? brief descriptions of religious life literature and the fine arts In such a scheme cultural and mental phenomena are a reflection of socio-economic processes and a secondary source of the latter This volume seeks to create an interest in the mental and behavioural aspects of medieval society in India and widen the area of research The contributors to the volume belong to various schools of thought and follow different methodological approaches in their study of the socio-economic and administrative development of medieval India But when they discuss medieval Indian society from the viewpoint of ideas mental patterns and religious and cultural developments they come to certain shared terms and allow their findings to complement each other at a somewhat broader levelThe papers presented here make a collective effort to denote several components of the medieval Indian ?mental programme? First that the medieval Indian state may be viewed not only in terms of control exploitation extraction and appropriation but also in terms of practices ideas and ideologies that were closely linked among other things with religion Second that medieval Indian society had a specific understanding of the past and of social experience and that history individual or collective was recorded and reproduced not just to state facts but also to create patterns for subsequent generations to follow Third that a central feature of medieval society was hierarchy as embedded in the relations not only between social classes and groups but between individuals and as encompassing even intimate feelings and desires Further that the intellectual worlds of medieval India as revealed by literary philosophical and grammatical treatises which are the repositories of intellectual spiritual and emotional experience reflect the modes of dissemination and preservation of tradition as well as of dissent Fourth the presence of social and communal conflict and of mechanisms of conflict resolution that were peculiar to medieval Indian societyThe editors of the volume believe that there is need for comparative studies first to realize the peculiarities of the medieval outlook in various regional cultures of India and second to study what in the worldview under research was specifically Indian and what was typically medieval and common to other pre-modern societies They offer this volume as an invitation to their colleagues of whatever school and methodological affiliation to join in a search for new dimensions in medieval India research The primary focus of most scholars in the field of medieval Indian studies has been on economic history Their judgement and estimate of medieval Indian society are largely based on the data available on economic social and politico-administrative institutions In contrast processes and phenomena that belong to the spheres of mentality religion culture scientific knowledge the very worldview of medieval Indians have attracted little attention and mostly as an appendix to the ?fundamental? themes The typical historical treatise on the medieval period deals with political events the economy agriculture crafts and trade major social groups their relations and life the administrative system taxation and at the end.…
