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.

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.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 296 pages : illustrations (some colour), maps ; 25 cm. "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.…
