Mercy Ratna Rani Asst.Professor Dept.of History, Archaeology & Culture Dravidian University, Kuppam Chittoor District, A.P.. & Dr. P.C. Venkata Subbiah Asst.Professor Dept.of History, Archaeology & Culture Dravidian University, Kuppam Introduction Chittoor District, A.P. “Pre-history deals with a vast, illimitable period stretching back to the dim past, during which time there was no writing of any kind” [H.D.Sankalia 1974]. The term pre-history was first used by Daniel Wilson in 1851. Like any other areas in India, research on Pre-history in Andhra Pradesh dates back to the second half of the 19th century. The first discovery of pre-historic relics in the form of Paleoliths was made by C.A.E. Oldham in Rayachoti Taluk of Kadapa district in Andhra Pradesh as far back as 1864. Since, then a number of individual scholars and institutions have carried out investigations into the Stone Age cultures in different parts of Andhra Pradesh. The pre-historic period is mainly divided into two: Paleolithic culture and Mesolithic culture and the former further divided into Lower, Middle and Upper Paleolithic cultures. These two periods basically represent the hunting-gathering communities that fall within the time span of Middle Pleistocene to the Early Holocene. The artefactual assemblages of these cultures in Andhra Pradesh represent typo- September 2014,Twentieth Issue 7 Journal of Indian History and Culture technologically a cross-cultural feature and show some affinities to those from other parts of India. The area The district is bounded on the east by Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh and Chinglepet district of Tamilnadu, on the west by Kolar district of Karnataka, on the north to a greater extent by Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh and on the south by North Arcot and Dharmapuri districts of Tamilnadu. It is roughly divided into two geographical regions, namely (1) the hills and uplands (2) the plains. The Eastern Ghats are the most extensive range of hills which enter the district in the Kuppam taluk, forming the southwestern corners. There are no perennial rivers in the district. Some of the important minor rivers flowing in the district are the Papaghni pincha, Koudinya, Palar, Ponne, Arani, Suvarnamukhi, Bahuda, Kalyani and Kusathali. Apart from the above mentioned rivers, the Pedderu and Chinneru are the smaller rivers that flow in the district. The plateau region of the district has an elevation ranging from 305 to 457 m. MSL. Most of the area is occupied by pre-Cambrian granites which are highly magmatised and do not possess any important mineral content economically workable. Cuddapah and Upper Gondwans occur as outliers at one or two places. More than three-fourths of the area is occupied by Archaeans which are the oldest rocks belonging to Dharwarian system with basic intrusions. 8 September 2014,Twentieth Issue Journal of Indian History and Culture An outline of the pre-historic cultures in the region: Lower Paleolithic Culture [500,000-55,000 BP] The Lower Paleolithic in Andhra Pradesh belonged to pebble tool as well as Achulian techno-complex. The tools are both bifacial and unifacial. The tool assemblages include hand axes, cleavers, picks, polyhedrons, discoids, choppings tools, scrapers and flakes. The techniques employed for the manufacture of tools were block- on-block, stone-hammer and cylinder hammer. The latter was especially used for the finishing of tools by secondary retouch. There are numerous open air sites in primary and semi primary contexts. Quartzite is the major raw material used for tools although other materials like sandstone and even quartz are reported to have been used to a minor extent. A majority of the sites are found in the horizons associated with red soils, red loam and a few with black soils. Middle Palaeolithi culture [55,000-30,000BP] The Middle Palaeolithic culture is dominated by flake tools. The tool assemblages are miniature hand axes, cleavers, scrapers, awls, borers, points, flakes and thus represent the techniques used for the manufacture of tools such as stone hammer, cylinder and levallois. The stone hammer technique is used for the initial dressing of cores; while the cylinder hammer technique is used to shape the tools by further working and secondary retouch. Levallois is a specialized technique employed whereby the core is worked and the flake struck off as such that core needs no further working. Quartzite was the most preferred raw material for the production of this industry and most was associated with red soils and red loam. Site dimensions indicate that human groups of this period consisted of few members of a small band to large groups occupying areas near water sources for short periods to prolonged occupations at some places where resource potentials September 2014,Twentieth Issue 9 Journal of Indian History and Culture are found enough to sustain their economy for a considerable period of time.

His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaja has devoted his entire life to the promulgation of the glories of Sri Krishna while implicitly following the instructions of his diksha and siksha gurus, His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhava Goswami Maharaja and His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Pramode Puri Goswami Maharaja, respectively. He is recognized by all Gaudiya Vaishnavas as one of the greatest acharyas of this era. His praises are most deserved, as, along with many other things, he possesses a vast knowledge of shastra and its inner devotional meaning with an acute ability to communicate this knowledge effectively to all persons regardless of their backgrounds or predispositions. This efficacy of preaching is largely due to his sincere humility and warm, affectionate character, which transforms knowledge into feeling—an actual taste of the Transcendent. Therefore, while desiring nothing for himself, he has garnered the love and respect of all who meet him, especially of those who are making a serious effort to follow his superlative personal example and ideals. His Divine Grace’s active preaching activities have now drawn to a close and he has entered into internal lila, yet his presence and influence are undiminished externally and he continues to be a leader among men—a stalwart and imposing figure among the followers of the message of divine love of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

  • Réflexion Sur La Phénoménologie Moniste Du Traduire Avec Illustrations Tirées De La Traduction Tamoule De L’Anthologie De La Nouvelle Québécoise Actuelle
    RÉFLEXION SUR LA PHÉNOMÉNOLOGIE MONISTE DU TRADUIRE AVEC ILLUSTRATIONS TIRÉES DE LA TRADUCTION TAMOULE DE L’ANTHOLOGIE DE LA NOUVELLE QUÉBÉCOISE ACTUELLE THÈSE SHARAN KUMAR SUBRAMANIAN DOCTORAT EN LINGUISTIQUE PHILOSOPHIAE DOCTOR (PH. D.) Québec, Canada © Sharan Kumar Subramanian, 2014 Résumé La traduction a une longue histoire au Tamil Nadu. C’est une tradition qui remonte au IIIe siècle av. J.-C. Les toutes premières traductions sont des adaptations d’œuvres sanscrites, appelées transcréations, qui commencent pour de bon au VIe siècle de notre ère. La traduction d’œuvres anglaises débute au XIXe siècle. Au XXe siècle, les œuvres russes, françaises, latino-américaines et scandinaves sont traduites vers le tamoul. La traduction de la littérature québécoise voit le jour en 1995. Les premières traductions à paraître sont Le libraire de Gérard Bessette et Encore cinq minutes de Françoise Loranger. En 1997 apparaît la traduction de La vie en fuite de Denis Bélanger. En 2002, les pièces Les Belles-Sœurs de Michel Tremblay et Leçon d’anatomie de Larry Tremblay sont traduites. En 2008, La distraction de Naïm Kattan et l’Anthologie de la nouvelle québécoise actuelle sont traduites vers le tamoul. Dans la traduction tamoule de l’Anthologie de la nouvelle québécoise actuelle, nous constatons un nombre significatif d’omissions. Nos recherches montrent que les omissions peuvent être divisées en trois catégories, à savoir les métaphores, les descriptions d’ordre sexuel et les descriptions qui présentent des problèmes d’ordre linguistique. Dans la présente recherche, nous cherchons à découvrir les méthodes adoptées par les traducteurs indiens anciens et contemporains pour traduire les œuvres littéraires vers le tamoul, ce qui nous permettra de mieux comprendre les méthodes de traduction adoptées pour traduire vers le tamoul les nouvelles québécoises, en vue entre autres d’étudier le rôle du sens suggestif et du délice esthétique en traduction littéraire.

  • Mehendale Book-10418
    Tipu as He Really Was Gajanan Bhaskar Mehendale Tipu as He Really Was Copyright © Gajanan Bhaskar Mehendale First Edition : April, 2018 Type Setting and Layout : Mrs. Rohini R. Ambudkar III Preface Tipu is an object of reverence in Pakistan; naturally so, as he lived and died for Islam. A Street in Islamabad (Rawalpindi) is named after him. A missile developed by Pakistan bears his name. Even in India there is no lack of his admirers. Recently the Government of Karnataka decided to celebrate his birth anniversary, a decision which generated considerable opposition. While the official line was that Tipu was a freedom fighter, a liberal, tolerant and enlightened ruler, its opponents accused that he was a bigot, a mass murderer, a rapist. This book is written to show him as he really was. To state it briefly: If Tipu would have been allowed to have his way, most probably, there would have been, besides an East and a West Pakistan, a South Pakistan as well. At the least there would have been a refractory state like the Nizam's. His suppression in 1792, and ultimate destruction in 1799, had therefore a profound impact on the history of India. There is a class of historians who, for a long time, are portraying Tipu as a benevolent ruler. To counter them I can do no better than to follow Dr. R. C. Majumdar: “This … tendency”, he writes, “to make history the vehicle of certain definite political, social and economic ideas, which reign supreme in each country for the time being, is like a cloud, at present no bigger than a man's hand, but which may soon grow in volume, and overcast the sky, covering the light of the world by an impenetrable gloom.

    Volume : 126 Issue No. : 126 Month : January, 2011 My soul characterised by knowledge and faith is alone eternal. All other phases of my existence to which I am attached are external occurrences that are transitory. Mahavira (Niyamasara, 99) TEMPLES SEVERAL HINDU AND JAIN TEMPLES FACE DEMOLITION IN THE MANGALORE AREA Mangalore, The Supreme Court has stated that 1,201 Hindu and 17 Jain places of worship are currently under threat of being demolished because they are considered to be religious institutions that are located in public places and apparently fall under a list of unauthorized religious construction. Mohan Gowda, Hindu Jana Jagruti Vedike spokesperson stated that the government has decided to go ahead with demolishing this large number of religious structures. The verdict of the Supreme Court clearly states that all religious structures that are built after December 7, 2009 must be demolished and most of these religious structures are Hindu temples across Mangalore. With regards to those places of worship built before December 7, 2009–they will be examined case by case before a decision is made for whether they will become regularized structures, relocated or demolished. A very short notice has been given with no opportunity for appeal and the state government in its affidavit to the Supreme Court has agreed to clear all illegal religious structures by the end of this month. Gowda further stated that although the Supreme Court has allowed for temples that are over 30 years old to be regularized, the Karnataka government is simply seeking to demolish because the process of regularizing will be time consuming and not worth their time.

    State Formation and Radical Democracy in India State Formation and Radical Democracy in India analyses one of the most important cases of developmental change in the twentieth century, namely, Kerala in southern India, and asks whether insurgency among the marginalized poor can use formal representative democracy to create better life chances. Going back to pre-independence, colonial India, Manali Desai takes a long historical view of Kerala and compares it with the state of West Bengal, which like Kerala has been ruled by leftists but has not experienced the same degree of success in raising equal access to welfare, literacy and basic subsistence. This comparison brings historical state legacies, as well as the role of left party formation and its mode of insertion in civil society to the fore, raising the question of what kinds of parties can effect the most substantive anti-poverty reforms within a vibrant democracy. This book offers a new, historically based explanation for Kerala’s post- independence political and economic direction, drawing on several comparative cases to formulate a substantive theory as to why Kerala has succeeded in spite of the widespread assumption that the Indian state has largely failed. Drawing conclusions that offer a divergence from the prevalent wisdoms in the field, this book will appeal to a wide audience of historians and political scientists, as well as non-governmental activists, policy-makers, and those interested in Asian politics and history. Manali Desai is Lecturer in the Department of Sociology, University of Kent, UK. Asia’s Transformations Edited by Mark Selden Binghamton and Cornell Universities, USA The books in this series explore the political, social, economic and cultural consequences of Asia’s transformations in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

It has been known by different names at different time such as Parasurama Kshetram, Malabar and Keralam. Traditionally Kerala extended from Kokarnum in the north to Capecomerin in the South. But now it stretches from Kasarcode in the north to Parasala in the south. It is bounded on the north by the State of Karnataka, on the south and east by the State of Tamil Nadu on the west by the Arabian sea. Annnamore, Wyndad, Kozhikode, Malappuram, Palghat, Trichur, Ernakulam, Idukki, Kottayam, Alleppy, Quilon and Trivandrum are the district in this state. Kerala is not only a thickly populated state in the India subcontinent but also known for its forests, hills, forest and valleys. It is known for teak wood and rubber plantations. As elephants are available in plenty it is popular for ivory works. The Hindus, Christians and Muslims are the three major religious groups and among them the Hindus from a definite majority of about 60%.
