Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The Sungas, Kanvas, and their successors. 3. The Mahameghavahanas, satavahanas, and the successors of the Satavahanas in the dakshinapatha. 4. The Indo-Greeks. 5. The Saka-Pahlavas and Western Kshatrapas. 6. The Kushanas and their successors. 7. The early history of the imperial Guptas. Appendices. Select bibliography. The work is meant, primarily, for undergraduate and postgraduate students, who have offered courses in ancient Indian numismatics and epigraphy. Teacher and student, alike, often find is difficult to locate coins and inscriptions, in their true the historical perspective, without some knowledge of the political history of the period of their issue. Unfortunately, in the present day scenario of history writing, where political history has lost ground to socio-economic history, there are few up-to-date works, dealing with the political history of the successors of the Mauryas, up to c 319 AD. The present work is divided into seven chapters, and has three appendices. Chapter 1 is introductory in nature, Chapter 2 deals with the history of the Sungas, Kanvas, and their successors, Chapter III, with that of the Mahameghavahanas of Kalinga, the Satavahanas, and their succesors, Chapter 4 of the Indo-Greeks, Chapter 5 of the Saka-Pahlavas, and other rulers of Saka extraction, mainly the Western Kshatarapas, Chapter VI, of the Kushana Kings, and their successors, and Chapter VII, Of the two predecessors of Chandragupta I. Appendix 1 presents a brief account of the three major Tamil powers the Cholas, Pandyas, and Cheras, as also the Tondaiyar and Pallavas, who cannot technically be called the succssors of the Mauryas, but played an important role in the history of the period. The general features of the coins of significant successors of the Mauryas, and a brief introduction of the significant epigraphs of the period, have been dealt with in Appendices 2 and 3, respectively. This is followed by a Select bibliography. (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Religion has played an important role in man's life, since times immemorial. A number of religious systems had their origin in ancient India, and she played host to a number of religious systems, which had their origins in other countries. The present work begins with religious life, beliefs, and philosophy, of the Harappan and vedic peoples, and goes on to deal with the heterodox sects-Jainism, Buddhism, Ajivikism, and the doctrines of some other heretical teachers, and epic-puranic sects-Vaishavism, Saivism, Saktism, and other sects and religious denominations. The last four chapters are dedicated to religious systems, from 'across the borders' of India-Zoroastrianism, Greek religion, Christianity, and Islam, which have been discussed, in some detail. The numismatic evidence, for the worship of certain Roman and Alexandrian deities, and Oriental deities, has been briefly presented, under two separate appendices. These are usually missing in books, dealing with religious history in ancient India, although they were, very much, a part of the religious life of ancient Indians. The book, aimed primarily at undergraduate and postgraduate students, has not been burdened with bibliographical references, in the form of footnotes or endnotes: A Select Bibliography, at the end, is meant to indicate sources of study, and to suggest further reading.

Appendix: The Jitam Bhagavata Padmanabhena Coins. Bibliography. Index. Symbols on coins. Plates. This is the first comprehensive study of the joint, commemorative, and victory coins of ancient India, which form a more important source of history than the normal issues. The introduction discusses the nature and scope of the work. The book is divided into three sections dealing with the joint issues, commemorative medallions, and victory medals. The first five chapters, forming Section I, deal with the joint issues of the Indo-Greeks; Scytho-Parthians; Kusanas, Gadaharas, Sakas, and Siladas; of the pre-Gupta period; and finally, of the Imperial Guptas, respectively. Section II is divided into four chapters dealing with the commemorative medallions of the Indo-Greeks; Kusanas; pre-Gupta period; and of the Imperial Guptas, respectively. An appendix to Chapter VI discusses the 'Helios on Quadriga Type of Coin of Plato'. Chapter X comprising Section III, is concerned with the victory medals of ancient India, the 'Jitam Bhagavata Padmanabhena Coins' being discussed in an appendix to this chapter. The various coin-types have been studied for their politico-cultural importance, and corroborative evidence in the form of literature, inscriptions, icons, and sculptures, etc. has freely been made use of. A detailed bibliography, an exhaustive index, and sixteen plates of photographic illustrations add to the merit of the work. (jacket).

Of the two epics, the Ramayana of Valmiki has the Journey of Rama, the seventh avatara of Vishnu, as its theme; in the Mahabharata of Vyasa, Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Vishnu, plays a pivotal role. Yet, in both the epics, with their obvious Vaishnava affiliations, the presence of Siva is felt.

Their contributions, too, have been largely instrumental in making India, what she is today. It also affords the reader, a glimpse of India's glorious past, spanning across countless centuries. As the book is aimed, primarily, at the general reader, the authors have decided to dispense with the jargon of historian, as also with references, in the form of footnotes or endnotes: They felt that a select list of relevant works, in the form of Suggested Reading, at the end of each chapter, would serve the purpose, quite well.
