Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the book:-The author has made a noble attempt to draw a fine sketch on this subject. The subject of this rare and valuable book is to give learned notes on the geography of Gandhara (in the district of Peshawar Region), as described by the Chinese pilgrim Huang Xang (Hiuan- tsang) over 1200 years ago. The exceptional interest both from the historical and archaeological point of view presented by the high road of all the old conquerors of India and by the inexhaustible mine of the best Greeco-Buddhist sculptures known, would be, if such were necessary, the ancient geography of the country of Gandhara, famous for the Greco-Bactrian school of the Buddhist sculpture. We were, therefore, able to verify on the very spot, the accuracy of his account and to acquire some familiarity both with his methods of travel and the topography of the country. If it be allowed that the best way of identifying the itinerary of Hiuan-tsang in this country is to follow his wanderings it will then, we believe, be admitted that we are perhaps qualified to offer on this subject some notes which will at the same time throw some light upon the ancient Geography of Gandhara. There are numerous illustrations in this book that show sculptures, railings, ground plans, natural features, architectural remains, etc. There is a map of the Gandhara region at the end of this book, which was first published in 1915. About the Author:-Alfred Charles Auguste Foucher (18651952), was a French scholar, who identified the Buddha image as having Greek origins. He has been called the "father of Gandhara studies", and is a much cited scholar on ancient Buddhism in northwest Indian subcontinent and the Hindu Kush region. His most famous work was L'Art Greco-Bouddhique du Gandhara in which he described how Buddhist art prior to Pan-Hellenism was principally aniconic, representing the Buddha by depicting elements of the Buddha's life instead of depicting the Buddha himself. He agued that the first sculpted images of the Buddha were heavily influenced by Greek artists. He coined the term "Greco-Buddhist art". Harold Hargreaves (born 29 May 1876) was a British Indian archaeologist who served as Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) from 1928 to 1931.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK:- The Grammar of Hindudom lays out the historical and philosophical framework of Hindudom, the only ideology indigenous to India and Asia. Few in the world appear to know this, leave alone appreciate it. There are also those who reckon that the ideology of Hindudom is the only one if accepted by those who have the ability to influence the course of events that can achieve enduring peace on earth. The basic purpose of this book is to explain why this would be so. The Grammar of Hindudom also seeks to engage a very contentious term at the root of much of the disquiet prevalent todaysecularism. The credo of secularism, which has its origins in Europe, means the separation of the Church from the State. The book offers the reader a glimpse brief into the Abrahamic family of religionsJudaism, Christianity and Islam, and their fourth sibling, Marxism, and how they have shaped human history with all their attendant consequences. Unlike these, Hinduism does not have a founder, a single prophet or any single holy book. Hindudom, which loosely means the Hindu way of life, is the way a polity can or ought to govern itself. A closely corresponding term is Christendom. Hindudom is not confined to modes of religious worship or social norms and customs. It encompasses the entire gamut of politics and governance. Hindudom is arguably the only ideology that has the capability to not only end global conflict but help human beings achieve the goal of self-actualization, which alone can bring about true inner peace.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book;-The author reveals that the origin of the Jaffna kingdom is obscure and stills the subject of controversy among historians. Among mainstream historians, the widely accepted view is that the Kingdom of the Aryacakravarti dynasty in Jaffna began in 1215 with the invasion of a previously unknown chieftain called Magha, who claimed to be from Kalinga in modern India. He deposed the ruling Parakrama Pandyan II, a foreigner from the Pandyan Dynasty who was ruling the Kingdom of Polonnaruwa at the time with the help of his soldiers and mercenaries from the Kalinga, modern Kerala and Damila (Tamil Nadu) regions in India. After the conquest of Rajarata, he moved the capital to the Jaffna peninsula which was more secured by heavy Vanni forest and ruled as a tribute-paying subordinate of the Chola empire of Tanjavur, in modern Tamil Nadu, India. This prompted the Pandyan Empire in modern South India to intervene and Chandrabhanu submitted to Pandya rule in 1258. Portuguese traders reached Sri Lanka by 1505 where their initial forays were against the south-western coastal Kotte kingdom due to the lucrative monopoly on trade in spices that the Kotte kingdom enjoyed that was also of interest to the Portuguese. The Jaffna kingdom came to the attention of Portuguese officials in Colombo for multiple reasons which included their interference in Roman Catholic missionary activities, (which was assumed to be patronizing Portuguese interests) and their support to anti-Portuguese factions of the Kotte kingdom, such as the chieftains from Sittawaka. The Jaffna Kingdom also functioned as a logistical base for the Kandyan kingdom, located in the central highlands without access to any seaports, as an entry post for military aid arriving from South India. The book is the product of extensive study and research of Jaffna. About the Author:-Swamy Gnanaprakasar Nalloor was a Sri Lankan-born reputed author, translator and compiler.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK: Empowerment of women means improving the social, political and economic status of women and creating an environment where women are free from any kind of physical, mental abuse, exploitation, and prejudice. Women's empowerment and equality has been recognized to be a critical factor for sustainable development. Recognizing the importance of women in the economic growth of the nation, The government of India along with State Governments has taken several efforts for promoting employment, empowerment, labour force participation, education, gender equality and entrepreneurship for the women. Micro-finance with Self Help Groups (SHG) plays an effective role in promoting women entrepreneurship and financial empowerment. Microentrepreneurship is strengthening women empowerment and removing gender inequalities. Micro-credit is promoting small scale business enterprises, and its major aim is to alleviate poverty by income-generating activities. The SHGs micro-credit mechanism makes the members get involved in other community development activities. This book, in particular, deals with a broad understanding of women empowerment. It includes various plans and policies of women development, gender budgeting, gender gap, and promoting entrepreneurship among women in India. In it, we also report a field study of the Maharashtra region conducted by the author with the help of Mahila Arthic Vikas Mandal (MAVIM). The study was conducted to understand how SHGs are enabling changes in society with the help of Community Managed Resource Centre (CMRCs), various training and knowledgebased skill training and activities that promote entrepreneurship among women.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book: - While preparing the script of both the volumes of this work the author has made an elaborate attempt to draw a sketch in a beautiful manner, keeping consistency and compactness in mind to arouse a lot of interest among the readers. It is the only comprehensive work on Ceylon yet published is the apparently exhaustive account by the late Sir Emerson. The speculation as to Sumatra, or rather the Archipelago, and Ceylon having been formerly united, and that the Island is not a dismembered part of the Peninsula of India, brought forward by the author, founded on the difference between the fauna of Ceylon and India, has been the subject of some discussion among the naturalists. The country is now known in Sinhala as ?r? La?k? and in Tamil as Ila?kai. In 1972, its formal name was changed to "Free, Sovereign and Independent Republic of Sri Lanka". As the name Ceylon still appears in the names of a number of organisations, the Sri Lankan government announced in 2011 a plan to rename all those over which it has authority. So, both the volume of this book is immensely good to all. About the Author: - Horatio John Suckling was born in 1822 in Britain. He was a British author. He was first appointed as a clerk and later he became a British civil servant. He was deputed in Sri Lanka. During his staying in then Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, he observed everything about the inhabitant's traditions, customs, habits and religion which he portrayed in both the volume of this discourse. He is the author of Anti-Darwin and it was published in 1888.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the book:-The author has the honour to submit the accompanying Report on the Archaeological Survey of the Bombay Presidency for the past season. The scheme proposed by the Gibbs and approved by the Government of Bombay contemplated his employment to survey the whole of the Cave Temples of Western India, including also surveys of some at least of the more interesting Brahmanical and Jaina remains. The field indicated in this Minute, including, as it did, Ajanta, Elora, and other groups of caves, etc., in the Haidarâbâd territory, fully met the main object of the Despatch of 11th October 1871, and allowed of his utilizing the whole of the collections he had made privately in preceding years. The Governmentof India, however, in sanctioning the scheme of the Honourable Gibbs, introduced a clause limiting the area of research to the Bombay Presidency only, thus cutting off Ajan?â and other groups of caves just outside the limits of the Presidency,and so rendering impossible the contemplated production of a complete work on the"Rock-Cut Temples of Western India." This limitation, however, he has no doubt will be reconsidered. For the inscriptions he fully counted on being able to obtain the use, at least, of the volume of photographed inscriptions from the Kanarese Districts, which would have been of the greatest service to him in showing what had already been satisfactorily done, what had better be recopied, and, indirectly, what other inscriptions might be copied, perhaps, for the first time. They supply at least a new chapter in the history of Indian architecture from the sixth to the eighth or ninth century. But it must be borne in mind that these materials do not adequately represent the antiquities of the Kanarese country. They only open up a field that would amply repay a much wider and more detailed survey than he had the means or the time to make. The book contains 44 photographs, twenty are inserted in the Report, with a selection from the drawings and most of the inscriptions.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK Awadh was not one of the provinces which figures prominently in the political history of the Mughal Empire, at any rate after the early years of Akbar's reign to the end of Aurangzeb's. It gained in prominence under the Nawab Wazirs, in the 18th century and thereafter claimed attention still more as classic example of a native state under the subsidiary system of the East India Company. Its administration was stridently criticized by British officials, who particularly condemned the state of agrarian society under the Awadh rulers, and used this criticism as one of the justifications for the annexation of Awadh in 1856. It is difficult to find much to commend in the kingdom of Awadh during the early nineteenth century. Yet, despite the manifold evils by which it was beset, the Awadh system was not one of the total spoilation or anarchy as has been described by its critics. Its very ineptitude protected the peasants and the zamindars of Awadh from the extreme distress which the mahalwari system of the colonial rule imposed contemporaneously on the adjoining ceded and conquered provinces. The study serves as the background to understand Lord Canning's proclamation and subsequent policies the British Crown adopted to win over the belligerent landed overlords of this region and provided numerous concessions to the class of talluqadars. Based heavily on the Persian archival data, family papers, and the British official records, the study hopefully provides some corrective to much of the larger literature available on the subject. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Saiyid Zaheer Husain Jafri, Professor, Department of History, University of Delhi, is known for his researches on numerous aspects of pre-colonial Awadh and Upper Gangetic Valley.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:- Buddhism Its History and literature book. It is a compilation of the first six lectures delivered on Buddhism by Prof. T. W. Rhys Davids during the winter of 1894 - 1895 in Universities of Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Columbia, and Philadelphia. It contains lectures on religious theories in India before Buddhism, The literature behind the knowledge of Buddhism, Notes on Buddha's life, and the history and secrets of Buddhism. It was strange, and very characteristic of the real meaning of true Buddhism, that there was no life of Gautama the Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures. Buddhism should not be treated as a religion such as is understood by those who regard religion as consisting of certain beliefs and ideas concerning the soul and its destiny and of the various deities who are supposed to help or hinder human beings in the attainment of the ultimate goal. About the Author:-Thomas William Rhys Davids FBA (1843 1922) was an English scholar of the Pali language and founder of the P?li Text Society. He took an active part in founding the British Academy and London School for Oriental Studies. In 1863 Rhys Davids returned to Britain, and on passing his civil service exams was posted to Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon). When he was Magistrate of Galle and a case was brought before him involving questions of ecclesiastical law, he first learned of the P?li language when a document in that language was brought in as evidence. In 1871 he was posted as Assistant Government Agent of Nuwarakalaviya, where Anuradhapura was the administrative centre. The governor was Sir Hercules Robinson, who had founded the Archaeological Commission in 1868. The Title 'Buddhism: Its History and Literature written/authored/edited by T . W .

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the book:-The author has made a noble attempt through these Lectures to Young Men, which were delivered at the English Presbyterian College, London, and are published in compliance with the custom of the Lectureship in 19th Century. This book presents four of his lectures about Mohammed, Buddha and Christ and the religions they founded, but the book is not a comparative study of the respective practices of the three great religions. In keeping with his position in the United Free Church of Scotland, he forcefully argues for the moral superiority of Christianity. The writer presents two lectures on Islam. Some religious practices of Islam are discussed and praised, like regularity of prayer, almsgiving, and religious holidays. But most of the two lectures is devoted to things that he finds deficient about the religion. He is critical of the concept of Paradise and criticizes polygamy and marriage laws. He also condemns Mohammed's treatment of women. The second lecture on Islam begins with a brief historical review of the religions of Arabia. He offers the opinions of philosophers like Voltaire and Carlyle and then vigorously disagrees with them. He is more circumspect about Buddhism. He describes the religion as one that is not devoted to a supernatural deity, and devotes several pages to relating the compelling story of Buddha's life. He praises Buddhists for their charitable natures, which he feels are similar to the ethics of Christians, however, he considers Buddhist philosophies as atheistic and leading to polytheism. The lecture on Christianity is entitled "The Perfect Religion." He sets up his argument by discussing what makes a religion real, true and the product of divine revelation. He concludes that Christianity is the one true religion and ends the book by surmising that the Arabs are too barbaric to properly receive Christian missionaries.These lectures contain arguments that will be shocking to some modern readers, while at the same time, some of his arguments are still debated today.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the book:-The author reveals that as explained in the introductory chapter of this volume, it is not intended to be considered as a complete report in itself, but to afford much additional material for the study of Buddhist Cave Architecture which could not be comprised within the limits of the second part of the work on The Cave Temples, Much of the materials here supplied consists of drawings of architectural details principally from the Caves at Ajanta which hardly require description. These drawings, with the woodcuts and autotype illustrations, speak for themselves, and show what a field for artistic study is presented by such remains ancient Indian art. It may be mentioned that the Buddhist Caves at Elora and some minor groups have not been alluded to in this volume. For the latter, there is scarcely any additional information or illustration to present beyond what is supplied by the volume on The Cave Temples, or in previous Reports; and for the former, it seems preferable to treat of the Elora Caves as a whole, and to describe the Caves-Buddhist, Brahmanical, and Jaina found there, as a series complete in itself. The book is immensely beneficial to students and researchers.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The science of Comparative Religion is still so young that information on many matters embraced by it has not found its way as yet into ordinary encyclopsedias ; and of special encyclopaedias or dictionaries very few have been published. It is a storehouse of learned discussion and information, but its size places it as a household work of reference beyond the reach of many readers. A felt gap is filled very usefully by the handy Dictionary of Non-Classical Mythology. It may seem a bold undertaking to seek, as the present writer has done, to present in a volume of moderate size information about most of the ancient and modern religions, ethnic and historical.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the book:-This rare and valuable book is in three volumes. This volume describes the collection of Indo-Greek coins in the Lahore Museum, Panjab, India. The author has applied the term Indo-Greek to the issues of the Greek Kings of Bactria and India, and of their contemporaries and immediate successors in North-West India, who struck money bearing legible Greek inscriptions. These were the Indo-Scythic and Indo-Parthian dynasties, and the Great Kushans, down to and including Vasu Deva. Nevertheless, the Indo-Greek section of his Cabinet was not to be despised, and it was very strong in the copper series. The intrinsic interest of the coins described in this work is great, and they make a strong appeal to the favourable notice of collectors, especially to those belonging to that European nation which is the first to have accomplished from the sea what Greece did from the land, and so may be regarded as the legitimate successor of the Greeks in the Panjab. The historical importance of these coins is not confined to the issues of the Greek princes. Our knowledge of the Indo-Scythians, Indo-Parthians, and Kushans is again almost entirely derived from the study of their coins; and the interest is strengthened by the fact that the coins of the Indo-Parthians give us the name of Gondophares, known to Christian tradition as the Indian ruler under whom the Apostle St. Thomas was martyred.The second volume covers the collection of Mughal Emperors coins, and the third volumes contains the collection of Nadir Shah and Durrani dynasty coins. The book is profusely illustrated of the coins. About the Author:-Richard Bertram Whitehead (1879 967), usually cited as R. B. Whitehead, was a British numismatist and an authority on Indian coins. He played "a major role in establishing the study of coinage as an essential technique of Indian historical research", for which he received numerous awards and honours, and was the first Honorary Fellow of the Numismatic Society of India. In 1902 he was selected for the Indian Civil Service, and came to specialise in "Settlement" work - the periodic reassessments of land revenue - and through this work came to understand the historical interest of the coin finds that were being made in the Punjab at the time. In 1907 he became official examiner of treasure trove for the Punjab Government. To bring together scattered research, in 1910 he and six others took part in a meeting at Allahabad at which was founded the Numismatic Society of India. He is mostly remembered for his brilliant contribution to the Indian numismatist and wrote also few books on this topic. He published also many articles.
