Book Description
The Chandelas of Jijekabhukti were the dynasty which built the fine temples of Khajuraho. They were also the dynasty which opposed Mahmud of Ghazni when he attacked and plundered the Indian subcontinent in the eleventh century. As such I thought them deserving of some mention and hence this book was written, if for no other reason than that they give an idea of Indian life, kingdoms and the development of societal beliefs in the transitional period from ancient to medieval India. Because of the lack of informative history writing among the Hindus, the sources of information are eulogies of kings in inscriptions. Hence, there is an element of obscurity about the Chandelas. The tendency to mix up mythology with history has contributed to a degree of mystery as well.

Category : India
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
The Age Of The Candellas Is One Of The Glorious Epochs Of Ancient Indian History. Their History Has Been Attracting The Scholars Ever Since The Publication Of Cunningham S Reports, But Barring A Few Papers And A Chapter Each In Vaidya S History Of Mediaeval Hindu India And Ray S Dynastic History Of Northern India, There Was No Comprehensive Work On The Subject When I Assigned The Topic To Dr. Dikshit For His Doctorate Thesis (Degree Awarded In 1950). There Has Been Considerable Delay In The Publication Of The Thesis, But It Has Enabled The Author To Revise And Elaborate It In The Light Of Subsequent Discoveries. The Present Book Gives An Authentic Account Of The History Of The Candellas, And Is Well Documented. It Is Based On A Critical Appreciation Of The Available Sources, Literary As Well As Archaeological, And Personal Exploration Leading To The Discovery Of Certain Inscriptions That Had Not Been Noticed Earlier. The Author Has Utilized Rupakasatakam, An Important Work Of Candella Times, For The First Time-A Work That Has Not Been Noticed By Other Writers On The Subject. Dr. Dikshit Is Objective In His Approach, Uninfluenced By Historical Bias Or Dogmatism. On Certain Crucial Points, Where He Has Ventured To Differ From Other Scholars, He Has Set Forth His Views With Clarity-Based On Sound Arguments. This Work Is A Valuable Contribution To The History Of The Candellas, And I Am Sure, It Will Prove Useful To All Those Who Are Interested In Its Study. -

Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
History of Indian Nation India, the cradle for one of the most ancient civilizations in the world, has a long and rich history, spanning thousands of years. In fact, the history of India begins with evidence of human activity millions of years ago. The Indus Valley Civilization was the first major civilization. Vedic Civilization witnessed the rise of major polities. Almost the whole country was controlled by Mauryan Empire and it was again united under Gupta Empire. Muslim rule in the subcontinent began when the Arabs conquered Sindh and Multan. Then, several invasions from Central Asia led to the formation of Muslim empires, such as the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire. Mughals conquered most of northern India and finally controlled the entire sub-continent and Afghanistan. Mughal Empire declined in the 18th century. Then, East India Company gained ascendancy over South Asia. Dissatisfaction with Company rule led to an unsuccessful revolt in 1857, after which India was directly administered by the British Crown. In the 20th century, a nationwide struggle for independence was launched by Indian National Congress. The subcontinent gained independence from Great Britain in 1947, but the country was partitioned into two dominions of India and Pakistan. After Independence, a new era began. This comprehensive book, comprising four volumes covers the entire history of the Indian Nation in a very compact manner. This book is an asset for historians, teachers, students and general readers, at par.
