  • NARTAMONGЖ 2013 Vol. Х, N 1, 2 F. R. ALLCHIN ARCHEOLOGICAL and LANGUAGE-HISTORICAL EVIDENCE for the MOVEMENT of INDO
    NARTAMONGÆ 2013 Vol. Х, N 1, 2 F. R. ALLCHIN ARCHEOLOGICAL AND LANGUAGE-HISTORICAL EVIDENCE FOR THE MOVEMENT OF INDO-ARYAN SPEAKING PEOPLES INTO SOUTH ASIA The present Symposium serves a useful purpose in focusing our attention upon the difficulties encountered in recognising the movements of peoples from archeological evidence. One of the reassuring aspects of the broad inter- national approach which is experienced in such a gathering is that it serves to show the common nature of the problems that confront us in trying to re- construct the movements of the Indo-Aryans and Iranians, whether in the South-Russian steppes or the steppes of Kazakhstan; the Caucasus or the southern parts of Middle Asia properly speaking; or in Iran, Afghanistan, Pa- kistan or India. Perhaps this is why there were recurrent themes in several pa- pers, and why echoes of what I was trying to express appeared also in the pa- pers of others, notably in those of B. A. Litvinsky and Y. Y. Kuzmina. In particular, there seems to be a need for a general hypothesis or model for these movements. Such a model must be inter-disciplinary, combining the more limited models derivable from archeological, historical, linguistic, anth- ropological and other categories of data. Strictly speaking, the several hypo- theses derived from each of these categories should first be formulated inde- pendently, and then as a second stage they should be systematically compared to one another. Only when there do not appear to be serious contradictions be- tween them should they be regarded as ready for incorporation into the general model.

  • Pre-Proto-Iranians of Afghanistan As Initiators of Sakta Tantrism: on the Scythian/Saka Affiliation of the Dasas, Nuristanis and Magadhans
    Iranica Antiqua, vol. XXXVII, 2002 PRE-PROTO-IRANIANS OF AFGHANISTAN AS INITIATORS OF SAKTA TANTRISM: ON THE SCYTHIAN/SAKA AFFILIATION OF THE DASAS, NURISTANIS AND MAGADHANS BY Asko PARPOLA (Helsinki) 1. Introduction 1.1 Preliminary notice Professor C. C. Lamberg-Karlovsky is a scholar striving at integrated understanding of wide-ranging historical processes, extending from Mesopotamia and Elam to Central Asia and the Indus Valley (cf. Lamberg- Karlovsky 1985; 1996) and even further, to the Altai. The present study has similar ambitions and deals with much the same area, although the approach is from the opposite direction, north to south. I am grateful to Dan Potts for the opportunity to present the paper in Karl's Festschrift. It extends and complements another recent essay of mine, ‘From the dialects of Old Indo-Aryan to Proto-Indo-Aryan and Proto-Iranian', to appear in a volume in the memory of Sir Harold Bailey (Parpola in press a). To com- pensate for that wider framework which otherwise would be missing here, the main conclusions are summarized (with some further elaboration) below in section 1.2. Some fundamental ideas elaborated here were presented for the first time in 1988 in a paper entitled ‘The coming of the Aryans to Iran and India and the cultural and ethnic identity of the Dasas’ (Parpola 1988). Briefly stated, I suggested that the fortresses of the inimical Dasas raided by ¤gvedic Aryans in the Indo-Iranian borderlands have an archaeological counterpart in the Bronze Age ‘temple-fort’ of Dashly-3 in northern Afghanistan, and that those fortresses were the venue of the autumnal festival of the protoform of Durga, the feline-escorted Hindu goddess of war and victory, who appears to be of ancient Near Eastern origin.

    ISSN: 2456–4397 RNI No.UPBIL/2016/68067 Vol-5* Issue-8* November-2020 Anthology : The Research Trade and Trade Routes of Garhwal and Kumaon Region: A Critical Analysis Paper Submission: 15/11/2020, Date of Acceptance: 26/11/2020, Date of Publication: 27/11/2020 Abstract The prosperity of the region is not only the sum total of various social and economic factors but is also majorly endorsed by the layout of the roads that constantly helps in the faring of commodities from one region to other. The Kumaon and Garhwal region are no strangers to the same despite several geographical and social restraints.This Himalayan territory have been no strangers to the cultural exchanges not only throughout India but also the rest of the world. The article will be an analysis of these trade relations shared by the communities of the region. Keywords: Kumaon and Garhwal Region, Numismatic Records, Fairs, Festivals, Trade Routes, Tibet. Introduction The prosperity of a region is shaped by various social and economic factors. It is quite evident that the nature of these activities and the progress that they eventually make is directly proportional to the accomplishments of the said region. Trade in early India was the result of the synergic effort between different economic activities and political regions. It was significantly aided by the extensive network of trade routes Shivangi Joshi that linked even the remotest of areas. Trade between politically and geographically diverse regions was not only connected with the exchange Research Scholar, of exotic goods and commodities, it was also the amalgamation of varied Dept.

Pachuau _____________________________________________________________________ ___ This course uses gender as a category of historical analysis, focusing on gendered relationships within medieval Indian society. With women having been rendered largely invisible in history, it seeks to construct history from their vantage-point. This would involve unpacking the concepts of “masculine” and “feminine” in medieval society, how these related to one another, how they constituted society, and a mapping of processes that had a bearing on their relative position during the medieval period of Indian history. The purpose is to demonstrate that such a history is central to building a more complete picture of the evolution of Indian society from the 13th to the 18th centuries. Implicit in this approach is the belief that a gendered perception of history may suggest a paradigmatic shift in the trajectory of medieval Indian historical developments, and perhaps alter current perceptions of the high and low points of this period. 1. Problems and Possibilities in Recovering and Representing the Female Voice Patriarchal ideologies and male hegemony over the creation of knowledge built gender into the construction of medieval sources, both marginalizing and colouring the knowledge of women’s experiences, aspirations and worldviews.

  • Labor Class of Women in Mughal India
    South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 27, No. 1, January-June 2012, pp. 233-246 Labor Class of Women in Mughal India Rukhsana Iftikhar University of the Punjab, Lahore. ABSTRACT Karl Marx defined the labor class or proletariat as individuals who sell their labor power for wages. He asserted that labor class physically build bridges, craft furniture, grow food and nurse children. Women were always considered second grade citizens. They were seen as just adjuncts to men. The traditional view often praised the role of the women as wives and mothers. But as individuals they were assigned of a very low social position. They are not identified as labor class who could bear the hard ships of this labor class. The study of women as apart of economic life especially in medieval India is the topic yet to explore. This paper highlights the contribution of working women class in medieval India.The source material, in the political history of sixteenth and seventeenth centuries had just passing references reflect social and economic life of women. Even though, some information is available in respect of the kinds of work that women did. A considerable amount of such literature has been addressed in Abul-Fazal’s Ain-i-Akbari (1595). Almost every traveler commented on the daily life of women in India. The reliability of this material is still questionable but these accounts considered an important source of medieval Indian history. The pictorial evidence offered by illustrations and miniatures of the Mughal School of fifteenth and sixteenth centuries portrayed the economic contribution of women.

Accordingly, Islam emerged in the Arabian Peninsula, spread over its so-called heartlands, and became a world religion. A common understanding inscribes Islam onto the Orient and opposes it to Europe, the Occident, or the West. Such spatial claims are faced with fundamental challenges and epistemological shortcomings because neither Islam nor space are naturally given, bounded entities. Rather, different historical actors and observers produce spatialized Islam. In this chapter, I challenge the notion that “Muslim space” is a useful analytical concept, and scrutinize the ways in which academic discourses inscribe Islam onto space and history. As an alternative, I propose a topology that understands the production of space as a multi-dimensional social process, including Muslim and non- Muslim perspectives at the same time. Thus, I delineate the topology of Islam as variegated, dynamic, and multi-religious from its inception.
