ANCIENT INDIA in Historical Outline by DH MANOHAR ANCIENT INDIA In Historical Outline by D. H. MANOHAR This book is a substantially modified and enlarged version of the author's Ancient India: An Introductory Outline (Delhi, 1977) and surveys the major developments in India's social, economic and cultural history up to the end of the ancient period and the beginning of the early middle ages and explains the rise and growth of states with reference to their material basis. Special attention has been paid to the elements of change and continuity in society, economy and culture, and to the changing forms of exploitation and consequent social tensions as well as to the role of religion and superstition in society. The book demolishes the popular historiographical stereotypes created by the Hindu- chauvinist communal writings. It also gives the lie to the view that the Indian society has been stagnant and changeless—a view which was propagated by Western scholars in the heyday of British imperialism and continues to be peddled ingeniously in our own times. The assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. and the demolition of the Baburi Masjid are two... unforgettable milestones in the unfolding of the backward- looking Hindu revivalist and fascist politics of contemporary India. Since both Harappa and Mohenjodaro are situated now in Pakistan, the Hindu revivalists are busy locating the epicentre of the Harappan culture in the elusive Saraswati valley. Dwijendra Narayah Jha graduated from Presidency College, Calcutta, in 1957 and obtained M..A. and Ph.D. degrees in 1959 and 1964 respectively from Patna University where he taught history up to 1975. He is currently professor of history at the University of Delhi. Professor Jha has lectured at universities and other centres of education in India and abroad and was National Lecturer in History, University Grants Commission, during 1984-5. His works include Revenue System in Post- Maurya and Gupta Times (Calcutta, 1967), Ancient India: An Introductory Outline (Delhi, 1977), Studies in Early Indian Economic History (Delhi, 1980), Economy and Society in Early India: Issues and Paradigms (Delhi, 1993) and a number of articles published in Indian and foreign journals. He has to his credit several edited works including Feudal Social Formation in Early India (Delhi, 1987) and Society and Ideology in India: Essays in Honour of Professor R.S. Sharma (Delhi, 1996). Professor D.N. Jha was president of the ancient Indian history section of the Indian History Congress in 1979 and its General Secretary from 1985 to 1988.

NOTICE. Having completed the Udyoga Parva I enter the Bhishma. The preparations being completed, the battle must begin. But how dan- gerous is the prospect ahead ? How many of those that were counted on the eve of the terrible conflict lived to see the overthrow of the great Knru captain ? To a KsJtatriya warrior, however, the fiercest in- cidents of battle, instead of being appalling, served only as tests of bravery that opened Heaven's gates to him. It was this belief that supported the most insignificant of combatants fighting on foot when they rushed against Bhishma, presenting their breasts to the celestial weapons shot by him, like insects rushing on a blazing fire. I am not a Kshatriya. The prespect of battle, therefore, cannot be unappalling or welcome to me. On the other hand, I frankly own that it is appall- ing. If I receive support, that support may encourage me. I am no Garuda that I would spurn the strength of number* when battling against difficulties. I am no Arjuna conscious of superhuman energy and aided by Kecava himself so that I may eHcounter any odds.

Supported by political elites (nobles, officials, warriors) and priests, these monarchs imposed taxes on ordinary city dwellers and rural people to pay for bureaucracies, armies, irrigation works, and monumental architecture.

  • The Transcendental Boatman - Part 7
    The Transcendental Boatman - Part 7 Date: 2019-08-18 Author: Narahari Krishna das Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva. This is in continuation of the previous offering titled, "The Transcendental Boatman" wherein we have been meditating on the loving relation between Lord Rama and Guha (the hunter and boatman). We will see further on this topic. 7. Lord Rama runs towards Guha: When Guha heard that Lord Rama has come to his place Sringiverapuram, he came to welcome Lord Rama. Lord Rama, though being a prince and superior to Guha in many respects, did not wait for Guha to come to Him. Rather the Lord, dragging Lakshmana also, started running towards Guha in great affection. Guha walked towards Lord Rama but Lord Rama came running towards Guha. Also the Lord felt bad that He made Guha to walk and come to Him. The Lord felt that He should have gone to Guha to meet him and not give him the trouble of walking towards Him. This is stated in the Valmiki Ramayana 2.44.11 as follows. tato nishaadaadhipatim drishtvaa duraad avasthitam saha saumitrinaa raamah samaagacchad guhena sah Seeing from a distance the king of Nishadas (hunters) Guha coming, Lord Rama along with Lakshmana (son of Sumitra) thereupon ran forth to meet Guha. As Srila Prabhupada stated in one of his lectures,"As soon as one takes to Krishna consciousness, Krishna helps him. If he takes forward one step, Krishna comes ten steps". We can see in the Bhagavatam when Sudhama went to meet Lord Krishna, at the first sight of His friend, Lord Krishna started running towards him.
