Preface and introduction to the records in oriental languages-Cochin state. Index. "This book consists of nineteen articles by Mr. V.K.R. Menon written between 1928 and 1943. They include scholarly pieces as well as brief introductions, notes, reviews and comments on a variety of themes such as old Malayalam, art, architecture, music theory and paintings, epigraphical transcripts, granthavari-s and Ayurvedic treatment against snake poison. The principal merit of the articles is their thematic relationship to medieval and early modern history and culture. Though written long ago, the undated nature of their themes makes them relevant to relatively longer periods. Articles dealing with specialised and technical subjects like architecture, music theory and health care belonging to the traditional wisdom contribute to the history of indigenous knowledge system."

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. China! why? Because, China is in India since 1950s, when for the first time in 1957, a gullible and virtually clueless India detected the illegal construction of a road, by China, through Indian state Jammu & Kashmir's Aksai Chin region. This happened much before the existence of any bona fide cause of action for China to go inside, and violate sovereignty of India. China's problem was China's own creation and not the creation of India. Earlier too, China had shown her colour by forcibly entering and occupying Tibet in 1950. Fast forward to October 1962. China attacked where Bhutan, Tibet and India meet. War was followed by China-instigated and masterminded tricks to set various tribal belts of North-east India on fire. As if that was not enough. State of Indian Bengal was the next target, carefully chosen as hunting ground of Mao's ideology with a sizeable Indian Hindu Bengalis operating as foot soldiers of the Communist Party of China, deep inside India. Today, China is again deep inside India; through commerce, economics, finance and industry. China will flourish at India's expense. India will be declining for failing to understand China. See the west and the weak nations around. Apparently fruitful though it may look, those who have studied Chinese for years, will tell you, India is destined to be doomed. I, as Indian Hindu Bengali, have seen China in Indian Bengal. Yesterday was ruined North-east India and the eastern state of Indian Bengal. Tomorrow will be the turn of the rest of India.…
