Soft cover. Zustand: New. Classics like the Panchatantra or Vetala Panchavimshati were neither meant solely for children nor for illiterate folk. Entertaining and edifying, they were written for princes and kings, ministers and courtiers who are still amidst us, albeit in disguise, with the same motivations and ambitions. They also addressed the experts who peddled knowledge as a panacea for all political ills. The aversion to bookish learning among those ambitious and eager for real action and realpolitik exists even today. In Virtue and Human Ends, Vasanthi Srinivasan revisits some of our most well-known ancient Indian texts Panchatantra, Hitopadesha, Vetala Panchavimshati, Dasakumaracharita, Arthashastra and Mudrarakshasa to see what they tell us about the art and nature of governance, statecraft, policy (niti), war and peace, foes and allies, but also the equally important ideas of virtue, friendship, svadharma, loyalty, prudence, justice, love, desire, good and evil and the ability to judge rightly and act well regarding these human ends. She also challenges the misplaced but common notion that what we glean from comics and popular narratives is literature , but not political thought . These timeless texts also provide a window into the popular as well as elite reception of political ideas. Unearthing some of the most colourful and enduring tales that Indians across generations have read, the author takes a closer look at these narratives to reassess the morals of these stories, illuminate internal diversity and dissent in the teaching of politics and their continuing relevance in twenty-first century Indian political thought. Scholars and students of Indian classical literature, Indian political thought, comparative literature and Indology and all interested readers will find this a delightful and engaging read.

Index. Hailed by Mahatma Gandhi as his conscience keeper Chakravarti Rajagopalachari (1878 1972 better known as Rajaji) epitomized the practical wisdom religious tolerance and statesmanship that Gandhi brought to the nationalist movement. He articulated how Gandhi's ideas and practices could be reconciled with the needs and aspirations of a modern nation state. His political and philosophical positions were argued in a manner and with an ideological orientation strikingly different from that of Jawaharlal Nehru. And yet Rajaji remains virtually unknown today. Vasanthi Srinivasan presents Rajaji's vision as that of a theocentric liberal. She argues that he tried to temper majoritarian democracy with statesmanship a free economy with civic virtue realistic patriotism with genuine internationalism and secularism with a religiosity derived from the Hindu epics. Examining his political ideas and actions alongside his literary works as well as in relation to statesmen ideologues such as Nehru and Periyar she shows how Rajaji steered clear of ideological dogma and charted an ethic of responsibility. This book will interest general readers as much as scholars of Gandhi political theory and Indian politics. 278 pp.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Outcaste ( brushte in the original Malayalam) is a powerful story of the revenge a single woman named paptikutty wreaks on her community for the monstrous injustice done to her. It is based on the 1905 trial of a namboodiri woman for adultery and the revenge she exact on her sixty-four lovers, who belonged to the most powerful families of the land. In the novel, paptikutty is an avatar of goddess Kali herself, bringing justice and revolution wherever there is corruption and sin. The namboodiri Brahmins were the most powerful community in Kerala in the period in which the novel is set, more powerful than the king himself. Bound by rigid customs and rules, they silenced everyone who opposed them in their quest for more wealth and power. Namboodiri women were confined to the inner quarters of the house, where they lived in squalor and degradation. The influence of the namboodiris grew unchecked until the end of the nineteenth century, when paptikutty's Act of vengeance weakened the community from within. Passionate and gripping, outcaste is an unforgettable indictment of the injustices perpetuated by upper caste mena continuing problem in Indian society. (jacket).
