To do justice to the vast data, the project (Archaeology of South Asia) was planned in two volumes.

| The task of education is the task of training good men and women with a quality of goodness. He (Mahatma Gandhi) not only meant all that he said and wrote but for him a thought in the morning was a deed by nightfall, so far it was humanly possible.
Khwaja Ghulamus Saiyyadain was a traditional man but in a more rewarding sense of the term. He inherited all the good values of the social, cultural and religious ethos that the Indo-Islamic civilization offered to a sensitive and intelligent human... |

The Homeland of the Aryans : Evidence of Rigvedic Flora and Fauna and Archaeology |
$80.49 $60.37 |
|
| For well over seven decades two theories have been blinding our vision of India's past, viz. that:
There was an 'Aryan Invasion' of India
The invaders destroyed the Harappan civilization which became extinct.
Although in his book, The Sarasvati Flows On, the present author completely demolished these theories, there are still a few scholars who cling to them.
Resurrecting the 'Aryan Invasion/Migration' theory, a stalwart writes: 'one thing seems certain; the speakers of Vedic Sanskrit...... |

Buddhist Centres of Orissa |
$84.22 $63.17 |

| Orissa has been the Cinderella of Indian archaeological exploration. For historical reasons the decision makers deterred the spade of the archaeologists. Nonetheless, the occasional foray into the field threw a flood of light on the hitherto hidden historical, religious and artistic traditions of the state. The excavation conducted by the Archaeological Survey of India from 1997 to 2000 at Udayagiri was epoch-making. It unearthed a grand monastery with magnificent shrines and unique... |

The Rigvedic People |

| For several decades it has been orchestrated that there was an Aryan Invasion of India which destroyed the Harappan Civilization. However, as shown in this book (pp. 10 ff.), there is no evidence whatsoever of any invasion or of the presence of an alien culture at any of the hundreds of Harappan sites. While one is glad to note that the Invasion theory is dead, it is a pity that it is being resurrected in a new avatar, namely that of Immigration, of people from the Bactria-Margiana... |

Kamarupa-Kalinga-Mithila: A Politico-Cultural Alignment in Eastern India: History, Art, Traditions |
$89.99 $67.49 |
|
| Indological studies, during the colonial era, largely emphasized the differences between the various regions, linguistic groups, religious persuasions, etc. Even after the Independence, the trend seems to continue and the 'divisive studies'-at the author terms them-far outnumber the 'integrative studies' (again, a term coined by the author). The present work is an attempt towards such 'integrative studies'. Kamarupa, Kalinga and Mithila are three civilisational regions that developed close... |

Memory as History: The Legacy of Alexander in Asia |
$156.49 $117.37 |
|
| This volume examines the legacy of Alexander, the Macedonian, as it survived and transformed itself in literature, the arts and archaeology in Asia. The tendency to idealise Alexander began in antiquity and by the Roman period, a body of romance had grown around him, which continued to expand in almost every language from Scotland to Mongolia. The portrait of Alexander as the universal conqueror who was also the civiliser and benefactor of mankind owes its origin to Plutarch who wrote in the... |
