Sale!Ancient History of India ₹450.00
This is a fresh look at the history of Ancient India, centering on the Law Code of Manu (Manusmriti / Manu Dharmashastra), and its relationship to Rigveda and its possible relationship to the Indus/Harappan Civilisation of 4000 to 5000 years ago. It also throws light on Aryan society and culture, castes and guilds, use of technology and related practices in the Indus Valley Civilisation.
Dr. Charles Naegele, a practicing lawyer in Silicon Valley, California, USA, and a lifelong student of classical Indian knowledge, has written a work that will be certain to stir up controversy regarding the re-dating of the Law Code of Manu and the well-documented research concerning almost no possibility of Aryan Invasion Theory and the numerous similarities between the text of the Law Code of Manu and the archeological finds from the Indus/Harappan Civilisation.
Scholars and history buffs, as well as everyone who is proud of Indian heritage will enjoy not only this work, but also his future works. -
Sale!Social History of the Tamils (1707-1947) ₹1,440.00
Notwithstanding the prolificity of indepth researches in contemporary historiography, Professor Subramanian’s book is the first concentrative effort to track down the social history of the Tamils. Today, the Tamils, over fifty million of them, live in the south-eastern state of the Indian peninsula: Tamil Nadu — which indisputably represents the very nucleus of millennia-old Dravidian culture in India. The book offers a compelling account of the Tamils’ society, economy, religious beliefs, educational mechanisms, arts, and cultural expressions during the years 1707-1947 — when, significantly, the British domination blossomed, bloomed, and faded; when new thoughts, new ideas, and new ways of life came as irresistibly into the homeland of the Tamils as into the Indian subcontinent. Thus retracing over two centuries of the ‘British connextion with India’, the author here tries to show how the long colonial rule in India exposed the tradition-bound Tamilian society to Western influences — with results that proved incalculable in both their range and depth. Social History of the Tamils : 1707-1947 is the outcome of Professor Subramanian’s decade-long, painstaking research, authenticated by an astonishing mass of evidence including archival records, Jesuit sources, Modi (Maratha) manuscripts, newspapers’ reports, biographies, travelogues, literary writings, and even fictional works.

Sale!Bundelkhand ka Svatantrata Sangarsha (PB) ₹270.00
प्रस्तुत पुस्तक के द्वारा भारत के स्वतंत्रता संघर्ष में बुन्देलखण्ड की जनता के योगदान को सामने लाने का प्रयास किसा गया है। गांधीजी की बुन्देलखण्ड यात्रा एवं ओरछा के समीप सतार नदी के किनारे चन्द्रशेखर आजाद के हरिशंकर ब्रह्मचारी के नाम से कुटिया बनाकर रहने से समस्त बुन्देलखण्ड में तेजी से राष्ट्रवादी भावनाओं का प्रसार हुआ। 1923 के झण्डा सत्याग्रह एवं 1930 के जंगल सत्याग्रह में बुन्देलखण्ड के लोगों ने बढ़-चढ़कर भाग लिया। ब्रिटिश भक्त देशी रियासत के राजाओं ने जब जनता पर अत्याचार किया तो जनता ने प्रजामण्डल की स्थापना कर उनका विरोध किया। इसी विरोध के फलस्वरूप संक्रांति के मेले के दिन 14 जनवरी 1931 को छतरपुर जिले में जलियाॅवाला बाग की तरह ही चरण-पादुका हत्याकाण्ड घटित हुआ। पं. माखनलाल चतुर्वेदी ने कर्मवीर समाचार पत्र के माध्यम से 1920 में रतौना में खोले जाने वाले कसाई खाने का इतना प्रखर विरोध किया कि सरकार को घबराकर अपनी कसाईखाना खोलने की योजना त्यागनी पड़ी। यह एक ओर बुन्देलखण्ड की धरती पर अंग्रेजों की करारी शिकस्त थी, तो दूसरी ओर पं. माखनलाल चतुर्वेदी की पत्रकारिता की महत्वपूर्ण जीत थी।
सागर के भाई अब्दुलगनी, ज्वाला प्रसाद ज्योतिषी, केशवराव खाण्डेकर एवं मास्टर बलदेव प्रसाद, दमोह के भैयालाल चैधरी, अजयगढ़ पन्ना के चंदीदीन चैरहा, छतरपुर के पं. रामसहाय तिवारी, टीकमगढ़ के लालाराम वाजपेयी एवं झांसी के भगवानदास माहौर आदि ने बुन्देलखण्ड के स्वतंत्रता संघर्ष को गति, दिशा एवं अर्थ प्रदान किया। इन्हें पं. द्वारका प्रसाद मिश्र एवं पं. सुन्दरलाल तपस्वी का कुशल नेतृत्व एवं मार्गदर्शन मिला। गोवा मुक्ति आन्दोलन में भी सागर की सहोद्राराय एवं केसरी चन्द मेहता सहित अनेक सत्याग्रहियों ने गोवा जाकर आन्दोलन को सफल बनाया। उक्त सभी घटनाक्रम की रोचक, सहज, सरल, सुबोध एवं तथ्यपरक जानकारी इस पुस्तक में दी गई है। छात्रों, शोधार्थियों, शिक्षक बन्धुओं सहित प्रत्येक वर्ग के लोगों को यह पुस्तक ज्ञानवर्धक एवं रुचिकर लगेगी। -
Sale!Bharat Ka Pragatihaas evam Adhya-Itihaas ₹234.00
Fresh excavations, new dating techniques and ever-growing conceptual frameworks since 1950 have greatly reshaped our perspective on Prehistory and Protohistory of the Indian subcontinent. This monograph, which is primarily aimed to serve as a starter for the undergraduate and postgraduate students, presents, in a concise but comprehensive manner, a syncretic view of the latest information on various aspects such as tools and technologies, settlement and subsistence patterns, ecological background and distributional configuration in respect of the Stone Age and the Chalcolithic Cultures outside the Harappan Zone. The Megalithic Cultures of peninsular India and the Deccan too find a place in the book. A glossary of the terms used frequently in archaeology as well as maps, line-drawings and explanatory notes on individual sites add further value to the text.
