That the typologies of the numerical symbols are part of an evolutionary process has been well defined and illustrated. The polemic about the earliest epigraphic evidence of the use of the decimal system in India has been resolved. The systematic displacement of the numerical symbols by the decimal figures and the experiment with the application of positional value and the potential zero in Orissan records form an interesting dimension of study. It further addresses the problem of the advent of modern Oriya numerals and examines how the geo-political and linguistic-palaeographical forces operated in determining and standardising them. The chronograms included in the book largely supplement the existing lists prepared by earlier authorities." (jacket) No. 27652 244 pp.

Zustand: As New. Contents: Preface. Introduction. 1. The anatomy of a text. Mahendranath Gupta and the writing of the Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita. 2. The dialogic process. Sri Ramakrishna and social anxieties in late nineteenth century Bengal. 3. The religious worlds of Sri Ramakrishna. An historical and philosophical reappraisal: i. Universality and Sri Ramakrishna. ii. Sri Ramakrishna and Brahminical thought. An exploratory essay. Select bibliography. "In essence, this collection of essays represents a contribution towards the writing of social history, more so the social and intellectual history of religion. Thematically, these essays deal with the life and times of the famed Bengali mystic Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa (1836-86) and seek to bring out in clearer relief, the dialogic process that tied the saint to his many admirers, across time and tradition. One of the important arguments of this work is that while specific historical conjunctures as say the colonial society of late 19 century Bengal do explain why certain elements of the saint's life and teachings become attractive for several stratas in contemporary society, his popularity as a social being or importance as a religious figure has also to be understood outside such short term temporalities. Not all of the Ramakrishna that we know is the tendentious construction of the contemporary bhadralok. A good part of his appeal also seems to lie in the fact that his preachings and parables reflect a fairly continuous history of certain upper-caste cultural beliefs and practices."
