Sale!Bundelkhand ka Svatantrata Sangarsha ₹270.00 – ₹612.00
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!Amulets and Pendants in Ancient Maharashtra (3rd c. bc to 3rd c. ce) ₹198.00
The book documents Indias rich tradition of ornamentation as reflected in its numerous and varied collection of amulets and pendants recovered from archaeological excavations in Maharashtra. It studies the significance of these ornaments as a visible expression of the artistic excellence and cultural wealth of the ancient Indian civilisation particularly at the time of the great Mauryan and Satvahana dynasties. Discussing the evolution of these portable charms against their socio-economic and religious background, the authoress examines the different types of amulets and pendants excavated, the techniques used in making them, their parallels in literary and sculptural representations, and Buddhist influence on them. Giving insights into the sources of raw materials used in these charms, she takes up in detail the trade relations of a specific site with other contemporary sites. With a number of figures and maps, the work promises to be useful to both scholars and students of Indology focussing on facets of Indian culture.

Sale!Ancient Gods and Heroes of East and West ₹810.00
This book is a study of the people of nomadic groups or clans of Central Asia from about 6000 bce to the last millennium bce to explore why cultures and history developed the way they did in Central Asia by taking up the Indo-European and other settlements notably, the Greeks, the ancient Iranians and Indo-aryans of the Indian subcontinent for in-depth study. It deals with the quest for knowledge which led to evolution of cultures from simple primitive life to a society complex in structure, from philosophy to religion. The study of gods and heroes examines stories relating to migration and settlements and the geography of ancient civilizations. It is in this setting that their unique philosophies and religious beliefs flourished, giving rise to belief in numerous gods and heroes. It discusses the myths and legends of the ancient cultures, highlighting names, deeds and events relating to honoured gods and much-praised heroes. Dr Marta Vannucci significantly concludes that both Indo-aryan and Indo-Iranian people had been able to maintain their traditional customs and habits backed by technical developments up to the last centuries bce. Throughout, she bases her observations on reliable information provided by archaeology substantiated by oral and written traditions of Central Asia, Greece and Rome. The volume will be invaluable to scholars of history, anthropology and archaeology who are keen to systematically unravel the obscure origins of the great human civilizational march.

Sale!Archaeology in the Third World ₹990.00
This book offers an authoritative historical frame of archaeological research in post-Independence India. It outlines the early evolution of the new Indias archaeological policy and the wide range of discoveries, which accompanied it. It shows how in the first flush of Independence archaeological research added new depths and dimensions to the ancient Indian past. It also looks closely at the tangled web of ideas behind this research, highlighting the major mile-posts in its story of development. At the same time it demonstrates with unerring clarity how the national archaeological policy of the 1950s and the 1960s has currently lost its direction. This is accompanied by an incisive analysis of different aspects of Indian heritage management, including the impact of religious fundamentalism, the looting of antiquities and the place of archaeology in Indian education. Finally, there is a detailed discussion on the scope of nationalist archaeology in India. One of the core arguments of the book is that the developments and features of post-Independence Indian archaeology may be representative of the archaeological scenario of the Third World as a whole. In fact, this is the first book to set down clearly the basic traits of Third World Archaeology and argue for its acceptance as a separate conceptual area in mainstream archaeology.

Sale!Buddhism in Karnataka ₹248.00
Dr. R.C. Hiremath examines the age-old story of Siddhartha Gautamas early life and renunciation, providing the reader with the background of the Shramana schools that did not accept the authority of the Vedas. He treats, with meticulous scholarship, the Hinayana and Mahayana forms of Buddhism, and establishes that, contrary to popular belief, these two forms were not antagonistic to each other. The author maintains that Buddhism had in fact entered Karnataka before the time of the Emperor Ashoka, and that it enjoyed its heyday between the third century BC. and the third century AD. He describes the organisation of the centres, assesses the standing of Buddhism as a living important religion of Karnataka, and accounts for its decay and departure to countries outside the land of its birth. He discusses the impact of the religion on the literature of Karnataka, of which little, that is authentic, is yet known. Based on the Ashokan edicts found in the region, which are claimed to have been the first writings in Karnataka, Dr. Hiremath goes further to infer that the Kannada script and literature have been derived from Buddhistic literature and philosophy. Supported with reports of archaeological excavations and foreign travellers, the study gives a fresh insight on an hitherto untapped area. With highly informative appendix giving Devanagari text, Roman transliteration and translation of the inscriptions found in Karnataka, extensive bibliographic references, and a glossary of non-English words/phrases, the book holds out an enduring appeal to both scholars and discerning readers.
