The bird and the worm-the relevance of D.C. Sircar in the twenty-first century/Kumkum Roy. II. Inscriptions and agrarian issues: region oriented studies: I. Central and Western India, and the Deccan: 1. Transfer of agrarian resources and the functions and structure of the state apparatus as evident in the land charters of the pre-imperial branches of Rastrakutas (c. AD 500 c AD 750)/Shyam Narayan Lal. 2. Aspects of agrarian history in Gujarat and Rajasthan: reading the Maitraka and Guhila inscriptions/Nandini Sinha Kapur. 3. Agrarian issues in the Indravati Valley: a study of some Nagavamsi inscriptions/Sayantani Pal. 4. Changing the gaze: facets of sub-regional agrarian economies in early medieval Orissa/Bhairabi Prasad Sahu. II. South India: 1. Shift of trust from words to deeds: implications of the proliferation of epigraphs in the Tamil South/Rajan Gurukkal. 2. Landholders, cultivators, and slaves in the cola state/Y. Subbarayalu. 3. Landlordism in medieval Keala: its origin and development/Kesavan Veluthat. III. Eastern India: 1. Agrarian society of Kamarupa: early medieval period/Chitraekha Gupta. 2. Agrarian society and social groups in early medieval Bengal from a study of inscriptions/Ryosuke Furui. IV. North India: 1. Nature of Gahadavala land grants: a preliminary study/Suchandra Ghosh. This book is a collection of essays on agrarian history studied through the lens of epigraphy by scholars of early Indian history. The essays published here were presented at a seminar organized by the Asiatic Society to mark the birth centenary of Professor D.C. Sircar, the doyen of Indian epigraphy, in 2007. The rationale behind the choice of agrarian history lay in the fact that the single area of major historical debate in which Sircar participated was undoubtedly related to Indian agrarian history. Individual contribution has regional focus and the major themes addressed were agrarian economy, agrarian society, landlordism, landholders, agrarian resources and other relevant subjects. In a sense for the first time issues and perspectives related to agrarian history in different regions of early India are put together in the book. (jacket).

Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : New. 1st Edition. In the last decade or so, there has been substantial development in understanding the behavioural patterns of past hunter-gatherers societies. Although images of existing hunting-gathering populations continue to be used as analogues in drawing inferences about the past, there has been a considerable shift in the analyses of both, the archaeological record and the ethnographic data as well as more meaningful engagement with inquiries in territoriality, mobility strategies, and the use of raw materials by past hunter-gatherer societies. This volume tries to explore these questions vis-à-vis the prehistory of a small river valley in West Medinapur, West Bengal to assess how far some of the theoretical issues raised in hunter-gatherer studies are relevant to the Indian context. Although remarkable advances have been made in expanding the database on new sites in Indian prehistory, in the appreciation of the palaeoenvironment and the chronology of the different cultures, yet studies highlighting theoretical issues are relatively few. This volume, therefore, will be of great interest to both, students and researchers alike.

Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : New. 1st Edition. Prehistoric Research in the Indian Subcontinent is, on the one hand, a commemoration of the 150 years of the study of Indian prehistory, whose beginnings stretch back to Robert Bruce Foote's discovery of the famous sites of Pallavaram and Attirampakkam in 1863, and, on the other a timely study of recent researches in the prehistory of the subcontinent, highlighting regional and sub-regional variations. The first three essays in this volume are extremely valuable in their critical stock-taking of prehistoric research, paleontological studies and paleoenvironmental reconstructions in the subcontinent. The regional and sub-regional variations of prehistoric cultures are brought out in papers focusing on a variety of areas like the Son Valley, the Narmada, the Hunsgi valley, the Teri dune sites and the central Ganga valley where research has continued for over three decades. Essays on lesser known areas like the Ayodhya hill region of West Bengal, cave sites in the limestone karst zone of Nagaland bordering upon Myanmar, and the Chakalpunji area in north-eastern Bangladesh add to our knowledge with their unique findings. Overall, these essays reflect the vibrant nature of Stone Age research in this part of the world even as they draw our attention to the many gaps that exist in our reconstruction the Arts (Southern Region, Bangalore). This book will be of lasting pertinence to not just scholars of History, Historical Geography but also Archival Studies and will bring attention gaps that exist in our reconstruction the Arts in South Indian Region.

Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This book examines the making of the Goddess Durga both as an art and as part of the intangible heritage of Bengal. As the original site of production of unbaked clay idols of the Hindu Goddess Durga and other Gods and Goddesses, Kumartuli remains at the centre of such art and heritage. The art and heritage of Kumartuli have been facing challenges in a rapidly globalizing world that demands constant redefinition of art with the invasion of market forces and migration of idol makers. As such, the book includes chapters on the evolution of idols, iconographic transformations, popular culture and how the public is constituted by the production and consumption of the works of art and heritage and finally the continuous shaping and reshaping of urban imaginaries and contestations over public space. It also investigates the caste group of Kumbhakars (Kumars or the idol makers), reflecting on the complex relation between inherited skill and artistry. Further, it explores how the socialconstruction of art as art introduces a tangled web of power asymmetries between art and craft, between an artist and an artisan, and between appreciation and consumption, along with their implications for the articulation of market in particular and social relations in general. Since little has been written on this heritage hub beyond popular pamphlets, documents on town planning and travelogues, the book, written by authors from various fields, opens up cross-disciplinary conversations, situating itself at the interface between art history, sociology of aesthetics, politics and government, social history, cultural studies, social anthropology and archaeology. The book is aimed at a wide readership, including students, scholars, town planners, heritage preservationists, lawmakers and readers interested in heritage in general and Kumartuli in particular. This book examines the making of the Goddess Durga both as an art and as part of the intangible heritage of Bengal.
