As we all dealt with being stuck at home this year, freedom will now resonate with a deeper sense of responsibility. The month also celebrates friendship’s day as well as National Sports Day (Rashtriya Khel Divas) which is celebrated on August 29 to mark the birth anniversary of the legendary hockey player, Dhyan Chand Singh.

There is no difference of opinion among scholars that the original habitat of the peacock is India，or more pre­ cisely Southern India. We have the authority of the Bible* to show that the peacock was one of the Commodities5 that India exported to the Holy Land in ancient times.

The Music discussed in Sangita-ratnakara is free from Persian influence. Sangita-ratnakara therefore marks the stage at which the October 2013 ‘integrated’ Music of India was before it branched into North-South Music traditions. October 2012 It is clear that by the time of Sarangadeva, the Music of India had moved far away from Marga or Gandharva, as September 2012 also from the system based on Jatis (class of melodies) and two parent scales. By his time, many new August 2012 conventions had entered into the main stream; and the concept of Ragas that had taken firm roots was wielding considerable authority. Sarangadeva brought together various strands of the past music traditions, defined almost 267 Ragas, established a sound theoretical basis for music and provided a model for the later Categories musicology (Samgita Shastra). Abhinavagupta (3) Sarangadeva’s emphasis was on the ever changing nature of music, the expanding role of regional (Desi) Agama (6) influences on it, and the increasing complexity of musical material that needed to be systemised time and again.

  • Social Anthropology of Orissa: a Critique
    International Journal of Cross-Cultural Studies Vol. 2 No. 1 (June, 2016) ISSN: 0975-1173 www.mukpublications.com Social Anthropology of Orissa: A Critique Nava Kishor Das Anthropological Survey of India India ABSTRACT Orissa is meeting place of three cultures, Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, and Munda and three ethno- linguistic sections. There are both indigenous and immigrant components of the Brahmans, Karna, who resemble like the Khatriyas, and others. The theory that Orissa did not have a viable Kshatriya varna has been critically considered by the historian -anthropologists. We will also see endogenous and exogenous processes of state formation. The Tribespeople had generally a two-tier structure of authority- village chief level and at the cluster of villages (pidha). Third tier of authority was raja in some places. Brahminism remained a major religion of Orissa throughout ages, though Jainism and Buddhism had their periods of ascendancy. There is evidence when Buddhism showed tendencies to merge into Hinduism, particularly into Saivism and Saktism. Buddhism did not completely die out, its elements entered into the Brahmanical sects. The historians see Hinduisation process intimately associated with the process of conversion, associated with the expansion of the Jagannatha cult, which co-existed with many traditions, and which led to building of Hindu temples in parts of tribal western Orissa. We notice the co-existence of Hinduisation/ peasantisation/ Kshatriyaisation/ Oriyaisation, all operating variously through colonisation. In Orissa, according to Kulke it was continuous process of ‘assimilation’ and partial integration. The tribe -Hindu caste intermingling is epitomised in the Jagannatha worship, which is today at the centre of Brahminic ritual and culture, even though the regional tradition of Orissa remaining tribal in origin.

  • A CRITICAL STUDY OP the NRTYA VINODA of MANASOLLASA
    Vll A CRITICAL STUDY OP THE NRTYA VINODA Of MANASOLLASA SYNOPSIS Indian literature abounds in a vast number of ancient and mediaeval works, some of which provide interesting insights into the history and development of the fundamentals and techniques of Indian dance. This is only expected considering that Indian dance, had achieved a high degree of stylization in technique, subtle 1y and‘beauty long ago and also, because it was an important art form inextricably woven into the social and religious life of the people. It was during the suzerainty of the Muslims and the British and the consequent political and social upheavels in the late mediaeval period, that these valuable literary works were pushed into the back­ ground. Once India's independence was restored, the urge to revive the rich heritage stored in these works came to the fore and it is as a result of this upsurge of interest that attempts were made to trace^the various manuscripts and bring them to light. So far, nearly five hundred manuscripts on dance, have been traced, according to the information provided in the Sanskrit Manuscripts catalogue. Of these, few have been published which are indeed very useful to scholars. It provides them with an easy access to their contents for purposes of viii undertaking research. In the present thesis an attempt is made to critically examine and interpret the portion relating to dance in one of the works of mediaeval India, that has been published in the G-aekwad Oriental Series. This work called the Manasollasa is an encyclopaedic text in Sanskrit, whxch was composed by the Yfestern Calukyan King Bhulokamalla Some^vara III in 1131 A.D.
