Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Cross-Cultural Networking in the Eastern Indian Ocean Realm examines the history of the Bay of Bengal and beyond, as initially documented in archaeological recoveries from AD 100 to AD 900 and subsequently the variety of regional historical evidence that demonstrates India's eastern Indian Ocean maritime and northern overland connections to the nineteenth century. In sum, the book highlights the importance and variety of consequence in east-coast India's linkage with the coastlines of the Bay of Bengal and the extended eastern Indian Ocean, especially India's eastern maritime and overland networking with South-East Asia and China. In the eighth century post-Gupta era the Buddhist religious centre at Nalanda in north-west Bengal assumed a major role as the destination of Indian and international Buddhist pilgrims who arrived by sea and land to study at Nalanda, and returned to promote Buddhist and Hindu religious and cultural exchanges in wider India and Sri Lanka, South-East Asia, and China through the fifteenth century. The book details India's long-term historical relationships with the legendary Sumatra-based Srivijaya Thalassocracy and its successors in the Straits of Melaka region, sequential Vietnam coastline-based polities c.6001800s, and the Andaman Islands and Tibet, as populations in northern and eastern Asia selectively localized South Asian culture.

This book is a collection of essays on agrarian history studied through the lens of epigraphy by scholars of early Indian history. The essays published here were presented at a seminar organized by the Asiatic Society to mark the birth centenary of Professor D.C. Sircar, the doyen of Indian epigraphy, in 2007. The rationale behind the choice of agrarian history lay in the fact that the single area of major historical debate in which Sircar participated was undoubtedly related to Indian agrarian history. Individual contribution has regional focus and the major themes addressed were agrarian economy, agrarian society, landlordism, landholders, agrarian resources and other relevant subjects. In a sense for the first time issues and perspectives related to agrarian history in different regions of early India are put together in the book. (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. From the Oxus to the Indus explores the political and cultural history of the Indo-Iranian borderlands during the reign of the Bactrian and the Indo-Greek rulers known as Yavanas in the subcontinent. This was a region sans frontiere and shows unrestricted exchanges between cultures. In a sweeping survey of the power politics of the region this book identifies certain salient features of the political processes in the period discussed. One of the major themes this book explores is that of 'Hellenism', and its changing nature. From a study of the sites from the Oxus to the Indus, the foremost among them being Ai Khanum, it is evident that the region should be treated as an independent cultural zone. The iconography and languages used by the Indo-Greek rulers have a direct relationship with their own religious beliefs and cultures as well as with the ethnicity of their subjects.

This collective places ports-of trade across the Indian ocean within the wider framework of negotiations exchanges and circulations. It interrogates the port-of trade experience along the ocean from Bandar Abbas, Persia to Broome, Western Asutralia. With a temporal span ranging from the Early historic period of late capitalism, it privilieges ports-of trade from 1400 CE and their negotiations with capitalism and colonialism. Arguing for a different urban history of ports, the volume asks whether the port-of trade urban experience, and its spatiality and identity, was different from its inland counterparts.

This was a region sans frontie?re and shows unrestricted exchanges between cultures. The book, in a sweeping survey of the power politics in the region, identifies certain salient features of the political processes in the period discussed. One of the major themes addressed in this book is 'Hellenism'. The changing nature of Hellenism is explored from a study of the sites from the Oxus to the Indus, the foremost among them being Ai Khanum. The study demonstrates that the region should be treated as an independent cultural zone with its multi-ethnic population, multipronged linkages, multiple political authorities and pluralistic culture. The iconographies and languages chosen by the Indo-Greek rulers have a direct relationship with their own religious beliefs and culture as well as with the ethnicity of their subjects. There was perhaps no effort to wipe out every other mode of life.

"Papers delivered at a conference held in Singapore at the Asian Civilisations Museum (2008) in conjunction with the special exhibition "On the Nalanda trail: Buddhism in India, China and Southeast Asia"--Title page verso. Recent studies of intra-Asian trade and Buddhist networks have brought fresh perspectives to the understanding of the pre-modern interaction between South and Southeast Asia. Through centuries of selective adaptation and localization of intellectual, cultural, aesthetic, and economic exchanges Buddhist art in Asia has continued to thrive. Fresh research and archaeological data help locate centres of exchange which catalysed the process of localization. This collection of essays, based on a conference held in conjunction with On the Nalanda Trail: Buddhism in India, China and Southeast Asia, an exhibition organized by the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore, is a re-exploration of Buddhist art, archaeology, and epigraphy. Focussing on ancient monastic centres and temples such as Nalanda, Mainamati, Kizil, Kedah, Dulesi, and Longxingsi Dabeige, papers in this volume offer newer perspectives on aspects of text-image-inscription correlation. This volume is an attempt at interdisciplinary study of cross-cultural trails that lead to localized Buddhist practice patterns and artistic diversities.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The economic history of early India is a rich and diverse area of study, covering agricultural developments, trade, markets, occupation and professional groups, urbanization and the institutions that govern the economy. Recent research has expanded our understanding of the processes of transformation of the economy in different temporal contexts within the Indian sub-continent. They have particularly led us to explore connected histories given the trans-continental trading networks and movements of people from very early times. This volume seeks to draw attention to this vast and unexplored terrain in the economic history of early India, by bringing together essays on a new and rich historiography. Essays in the volume cover neglected regions, economic processes and structures. Scholars have looked at questions of settlements, crops that were cultivated and market orientation. Essays cover material culture and provide insights into how early Indians lived, what kinds of activities they were engaged in, and how they organised their production activities within and outside domestic spaces. Further the volume bring new insights on hierarchy of settlement types, nature of exchange, and the significance of a nodal site in exchange networks. Maritime history as well as the understanding of trade in its varied forms and manifestations are covered in several essays.
