Ancient History of the Deccan - Gabriel Jouveau Dubreuil - Bog - Manohar Publishers and Distributors - Plusbog.dk

Ancient History of the Deccan is a well-researched study of Deccan region during the years c. 261 bc, dating from the Kalinga War onwards, to approximately c. ad 610. There are almost no historical records documenting the period anterior to Asoka, while several historical documents are found covering the history of the Deccan, from ad 610 onwards, i.e. from the reign of Pulakesin II. Thus, this book attempts at filling the void caused by either inadequate information or complete lack of it, or even if available, these are sketchy and presented poorly, thereby posing a challenge for those interested in studying this period. The documents that do exist on these nine centuries, portray an era that was glorious, both historically and culturally, and therefore, warrant a comprehensive study. The book has covered the areas in the Deccan that falls within the Narmada and Mahanadi in the north; Bay of Bengal in the east; the Arabian Sea in the west; and Nilgiri Hills and southern Pennar in the south.

Social life in ancient India - Haran Chandra Chakladar - Bog - Manohar Publishers and Distributors - Plusbog.dk

The Vakataka Heritage Indian Culture at the Crossroads - Hans Teye Bakker - Bog - Manohar Publishers and Distributors - Plusbog.dk

In what is often considered to be the heyday of classical Indian culture, the 4th and 5th centuries ad, the dynasty of the Vākāṭakas emerged as one of the major patrons of religion and art. Covering the greater part of the northern Deccan, the Vākāṭaka kingdoms were situated at the crossroads of the main north-south and west-east caravan routes. This situation in the heart of the South Asian subcontinent may partly explain the prosperity of the Vākāṭaka kingdoms and certainly accounts for their cultural diversity and richness, to which the Hindu temples on and around the Rāmagiri (Ramtek Hill) and the Buddhist Caves at Ajanta still bear witness. Here, at the crossroads of the lndo-Aryan north and Dravidian south, the northern culture of the Gupta kingdom reached the Deccan and developed a character of its own. The articles collected in this volume intend to augment our knowledge of how the Vākāṭaka culture came into being, which forces and influences contributed to its flourishing, and how its achievements informed the historical and cultural developments after its fall.
