Book Description
History of the Imperial Maukhari of Kanauj and Harshavardhana is an innovative history of the Maukharis, which, for the first time, brings to light a glory that was overshadowed by Harsha of Thanesar, whose ancestors were their feudatories. Harsha usurped the Maukhari Empire on the pretext of avenging the murder of his brother-in-law Grahavarma Maukhari and his own older brother Rajyavardhana. But obviously, he did nothing to defeat them, especially the murderer of his brother Sasanka, who ruled for more than nineteen years after the incident. It is also interesting to note that Yuan Chwang, the most important source of the history of Harsha’s time visited his capital Thanesar, but did not notice anything related to Harsha there. This reflects the authenticity of the Chinese pilgrim. A treatise of facts dovetailed with inscriptive narratives from historic accounts, this book tries to uncover the times and glory of an empire that history books mostly left out of its narrative.

Ancient India
Author: R. C. Majumdar
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass
ISBN: 812080435X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
This is a comprehensive, intelligible and interesting portrait of Ancient Indian History and Civilization from a national historical point of view. The work is divided into three broad divisions of the natural course of cultural development in Ancient India: (1) From the prehistoric age to 600 B.C., (2) From 600 B.C. to 300 A.D., (3) From 300 A.D. to 1200 A.D. The work describes the political, economic, religious and cultural conditions of the country, the expansionist activities, the colonisation schemes of her rulers in the Far East. Political theories and administrative organizations are also discussed but more stress has been laid on the religious, literary and cultural aspects of Ancient India. The book is of a more advanced type. It would meet the needs not only of general readers but also of earnest students who require a thorough grasp of the essential facts and features before taking up specialized study in any branch of the subject. It would also fulfil the requirements of the candidates for competitive examinations in which Ancient Indian History and culture is a prescribed subject.
