About the Book :

This book details the life and public career of one of India's legendary individuals-Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, the first Indian knight and baronet. Born of humble origins, he went from collecting and selling empty bottles to building a business empire through the nineteenth-century China Trade. 

Hailed as one of India's greatest philanthropists of the colonial era, Jejeebhoy utilized his wealth for copious charity for the people of Bombay and western India. But he was also an ambitious and canny actor within the colonial framework, whose ambitions went beyond altruistic desires to benefit society. 

Jejeebhoy belonged to the collaborationist class that emerged under early colonialism. This class which also included prominent figures like Dwarkanath Tagore, the merchant prince from Bengal served as an important medium between the imperial and Indian cultures. However, the limits of collaboration for Indians were evident-Jejeebhoy faced many bureaucratic and cultural obstacles in his encounters with the imperial order. His efforts to promote himself and indigenous capabilities bear testimony to Indian ingenuity under the colonial regime. 

Contents: Introduction. 1. The merchant-prince of Bombay. 2. The civic partner: collaborative colonialism emerges. 3. The Parsi leader. 4. The standard-bearer of charity: philanthropy as a collaborative institution. 5. Knighthood, baronetcy, statue, and the crown: symbolic partnership. 6. The jejeebhoys and the legacy of partnership.

About the Book :

In the Granth of Guru Gobind Singh, the authors offer new insights into the Sikh scripture Dasam Patshah Ka Granth , or the Dasam Granth, which has traditionally been attributed to Guru Gobind Singh.

While many studies have adopted a polemic approach and focused on the authorship of the text, this book takes a multi-disciplinary approach and considers the relationship of the scripture with the newly discovered manuscripts, apocryphal translations, and relics. 

The manuscript tradition of the Granth shows how it was written and compiled during Guru Gobind Singh's time and how its compositions were transmitted through material items such as swords. The authors have included in this volume translations of selected compositions from the scripture. 

This book, in essence, takes the reader through relevant history of the Sikh dharam and establishes the centrality of the Dasam Granth within it. 

Contents : 1 Compilation of the Dasam Granth; 2 The Apocryphal Compositions of the Dasam Granth, 3 The Throne, Warriors, and the Granth of Akal, 4 The Seed of the Khalsa Raj

http://easternbookcorporation.com/book/9788173055393/islamic-architecture-of-pubjab-(1206-1707)

About the book :

The Islamic architecture of Punjab has not so far been studied with the seriousness it deserves. The books on architecture of the Indian subcontinent take up just a few monuments from Lahore or Multan, and that is all. It is believed that the architecture of medieval Punjab was limited to these two centres only. But this is not the real story. The whole land of Punjab is studded with monuments.

This book is an outcome of the author’s extensive researches on the subject extended over more than three decades. It covers a detailed account of 141 extant monuments of Punjab, comprising thirteen sarais, eight bridges, seven baolis, six tanks, thirty-three kos-minars, one fortified enclosure, two gardens, two forts, one mansion, one takht, forty-seven tombs, eighteen mosques and two Idgahs. Besides these extant structures, the work also traces available information about 103 extinct monuments which included seven sarais, three bridges, seven baolis, one tank, six kos-minars, six gardens, thirteen forts, three mansions, one hammam, twenty-five tombs, twenty-eight mosques and three Idgahs. In this way, the book is a complete document on the five centuries of the built heritage  of  Punjab.

The book is illustrated with 41 colour plates, 352 monochrome plates, and 143 figures,  mostly  by  the  author  himself.

About the Book :

'A Sanskrit Dictionary of Law and Statecraft' contains technical terms used in Sanskrit texts of ancient and medieval India dealing with law and statecraft within Dharmasastra and Arthasastra. As editors, we have attempted to make the Dictionary as comprehensive as possible, even though, given the vast extent of the literature, this is an ideal to which we can only aspire. We have, however, gathered terms used in all the most significant texts of the two traditions. The Dictionary is arranged according to the Sanskrit alphabet, with each entry given in both Devanagari and Roman scripts. Each entry is followed by one or several definitions and by a few representative passages where the term is used. These citations are not meant to be exhaustive but only illustrative. Sometimes we have given two or more meanings indicated by numerals. These divisions are simply for heuristic purposes and are not in any way intended as clear classifications. This is the first dictionary of its kind, and we hope it will spur further research into Dharmasastra, one of the most significant areas of ancient Indian cultural expressions.
