The Civilized Demons: The Harappans in Rigveda
Author: Malati J. Shendge
Publisher: Abhinav Publications
ISBN: 8170170648
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 477
Book Description
Myth and mysticism have reigned supreme in Rgvedic interpretation for more than two millennia and a half. Even now, it cannot be said to be free of these. This study aims at completing the process of rational inquiry in Rgveda begun two centuries ago. It leaves behind myths and mystic experiences, simultaneously drawing the line between fact and fancy, which has eluded the scholars. Two types of evidence - literary and archaeological - have been used. Literary evidence ranges from Rgveda to the Brahmanas. The Archaeological material covers pre-Harappan , Harappan and post-Harappan levels. Through the interdisciplinary approach consisting of linguistic, anthropological and symbolical analysis of the material, the study emphasizes a consistently rational attitude to the study of Rgveda. In fact, as the study amply demonstrates, the fresh air of reason may change our understanding of Rgveda and also of ancient Indian history. Rgvedic hymns from this viewpoint may probably prove to be a valuable source of information of the historical events, which led to the downfall of the pre-Aryan Indus civilization. This is correlated to the archaeological material available on the Harappan sites. This is the first investigation of its kind and the conclusions of the study are no less original. Besides establishing the rationality of the Rgvedic narratives, it shows the events and their agents to be historical in the light of available archaeological material. The theory and the approach hold out a promise and may transform our understanding of these ancient compositions from myth to history.

Author: David Lee Child
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Bunker Hill, Battle of, Boston, Mass., 1775
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
"That part of the work before us which relates to the conduct of Gen. Israel Putnam at the Battle of Bunker Hill, of which it professes to be a history, is what we and the public are at present most concerned in. We are neither friends nor enemies to any one of the persons, who have been conspicuous in the controversy upon this subject. We have no motive but the love of truth. We expect no reward but the satisfaction of discovering and proclaiming it. Our first and principal object will be to settle the question whether Gen. Putnam was in the Battle of Bunker or Breed's Hill. The second and minor object will be to ascertain what credit ought to be attached to the 'Sketch'--P. [5].
