The Art of War in Medieval India
Author: Jagadish Narayan Sarkar
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788121501118
Category : Armed Forces
Languages : en
Pages : 395
Book Description
Illustrations: 21 Bw Illustrations and 1 Map Description: Numerous books have been written on the Art and Science of War in the West, but a comprehensive and critical study of the subject in India through the ages is still a desideratum. That it is not only of absorbing interested but highly instructive admits of no doubt. True, there exist a few valuable works on Indian Warfare, none has exclusively dealt with the art of war in medieval period during the millenium from the 8th to the 18th century. Hence The Art of War in Medieval India is a pioneer work on the field, being a comparative and analytical survey of Rajput, Turko-Afghan, Mughal, Maratha, Sikh and Ahom systems of war on the basis of critical studies of all relevant sources, Indian and Islamic and in the background of the military classics of ancient China and of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, of Clausewitz and Jomini. The present work is also a maiden effort to assail the scepticism prevailing in some quarters that the art had not flowered in ancient and Medieval India as in European countries. The author has skillfully shown that many principles of war strategy and operational tactics known in Europe were also not unknown in India. Greater emphasis has been given to what the author considers to be the basic ideas of army organization, methods and techniques, strategy, tactics and leadership than to specific details of war.

No Full Stops in India
Author: Mark Tully
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141927755
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
India’s Westernized elite, cut off from local traditions, ‘want to write a full stop in a land where there are no full stops’. From that striking insight Mark Tully has woven a superb series of ‘stories’ which explore Calcutta, from the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad (probably the biggest religious festival in the world) to the televising of a Hindu epic. Throughout, he combines analysis of major issues with a feel for the fine texture and human realities of Indian life. The result is a revelation. 'The ten essays, written with clarity, warmth of feeling and critical balance and understanding, provide as lively a view as one can hope for of the panorama of India.’ K. Natwar-Singh in the Financial Times

The ARTHASHASTRA
Author: Kautilya
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 8184750110
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 832
Book Description
An extraordinary detailed manual on statecraft and the science of living by one of classical India's greatest minds; Kautilya; also known as Chanakya and Vishnugupta; wrote the Arthashastra not later than 150 AD though the date has not been conclusively established. Legend has it that he was either a Brahmin from Kerala or from north India; however; it is certain that Kautilya was the man who destroyed the Nanda dynasty and installed Chandragupta Maurya as the King of Magadha. A master strategist who was well-versed in the Vedas and adept at creating intrigues and devising political stratagems; Kautilya's genius is reflected in his Arthashastra which is the most comprehensive treatise of statecraft of classical times. The text contains fifteen books which cover numerous topics viz.; the King; a complete code of law; foreign policy; secret and occult practices and so on. The Arthashastra is written mainly in prose but also incorporates 380 shlokas. Artha; literally wealth; is one of four supreme aims prescribed by Hindu tradition. However; it has a much wider significance and the material well-being of individuals is just a part of it. In accordance with this; Kautilya's Arthashastra maintains that the state or government of a country has a vital role to play in maintaining the material status of both the nation and its people. Therefore; a significant part of the Arthashastra has to do with the science of economics. When it deals with the science of politics; the Arthashastra describes in detail the art of government in its widest sense—the maintenance of law and order as also of an efficient administrative machinery.
