Indian Buddhist Philosophy : a new historiographical approach

• Ferraro, Giuseppe
• Motilal
• xi,341p. pap.
• 2023
• Buddhis philosophy -- Madhyamaka -- Mahayana -- History Indian Buddhist Philosophy is a reconstruction of the history of Indian Buddhist thought that starts from the idea - of Madhyamaka origin - that in the teaching of the historical Buddha it is possible to identify three distinct and irreconcilable theoretical modes or registers, intended for different types of followers: the affirmative mode of being, the negative one of non-being, and the “middle path” of neither being nor non-being. The history of Buddhism after the disappearance of the Buddha is presented here as the development of these registers in three main philosophical directions: respectively, the personalist one, of the Pudgalavada schools; the reductionist one of the Theravada, Sarvastivada and Sautrantika schools; and the one of the Mahayana schools - primarily the Madhyamaka - which, following some suggestions already present in the Mahasamghika circles of the Abhidharma phase, deepen in particular the third theoretical strand proposed by the Buddha: the middle one, which excludes both being and non-being, in a frequently but not exclusively anti-metaphysical direction.

C. V. Jones attends to each of the Indian Buddhist works responsible for explaining what is meant by the expression tathāgatagarbha, and how far this should be understood or promoted using the language of selfhood.

• Epic literature, Indic -- History and criticism Through Indian life and culture, the epics of the subcontinent flow like the subterranean River Saraswati. Like Yuddhishthira, who is faced with the puzzling questions posed to him by the enigmatic Yaksha in the Mahabharata, the Indian Everyman, conscious of dharma and niti, is expected to find answers to ethical and existential dilemmas. While the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and Silappadikaram are the best known of the sacred narratives of the past, there exists a vast reservoir of other epics—many still in the oral tradition. This compendium, the first of its kind, explores the many literary traditions and strands that run parallel but also provide interesting contrasts in the experience of the epics. The multiple frames provide a cultural continuum which shapes and is shaped by the epics.

The Concept of Bharatavarsha and Other essays

• Chattopadhyaya, B.D.
• Permanent Black/ Ashoka Univ.
• x,238p
• 2017
• History -- India & South Asia -- Historiography This collection explores what may be called the idea of India in ancient times. Its undeclared objective is to identify key concepts which show early Indian civilization as distinct and differently oriented from other formations. The essays focus on ancient Indian texts within a variety of genres. They identify certain key terms--such as Janapada, Desa, Varna, Dharma, Bhava--in their empirical contexts to suggest that neither the ideas embedded in these terms nor the idea of Bharatvarsha as a whole are "given entities," but that they evolved historically. Professor Chattopadhyaya examines these texts to unveil historical processes. Without denying comparative history, he stresses that the internal dynamics of a society are best decoded via its own texts. His approach bears very effectively on understanding ongoing interactions between India's "Great Tradition" and "Little Traditions." As a whole, this book is critical of the notion of overarching Indian unity in the ancient period. It punctures the retrospective thrust of hegemonic nationalism as an ideology that has obscured the diverse textures of Indian civilization. Renowned for his scholarship on the ancient Indian past, Professor Chattopadhyaya's latest collection only consolidates his high international reputation.

This time the Harivaṃśa was selected as one of its focuses, and therefore these proceedings contain six contributions on the Harivaṃśa, eight on the purāṇas, and nine on the Sanskrit epics, which can be considered a rather balanced result. the papers address the questions about continuities and ruptures between the Vedas and the epics, between different layers of the Sanskrit epics, between the Mahābhārata and the Harivaṃśa, between the epics, their khilas and the purāṇas, and between different stages of the purāṇic tradition. The contributions are written by prominent scholars working on Vedic, Sanskrit epic and purāṇic projects, and display a select, but representative, image of the state of the art, of important new results and of challenging open questions, in these crucial fields of Sanskrit scholarship.

• Aṣṭādhyāyī (Pāṇini) -- Pāṇini -- Sanskrit language Grammar -- Sanskrit philology -- Vedic language The essays in this volume represent research by George Cardona that centers on Indian thinking in the domain of grammar (vyākaraṇa). Pride of place is given to Pāṇini’s śabdānuśāsana and its core, the Aṣṭādhyāyī. These essays treat both Pāṇini’s theory and methodology and how these are related to the works of other Indian scholars in fields such as etymology (Yāska’s Nirukta), early padapāṭhas for Vedic saṁhitās (e.g. Śākalya), prātiśākhyas (e.g. Śaunaka’s R̥gvedapratiśākhya), śikṣā, ritual exegesis (mīmāṁsā), and logic (nyāya). Questions of relative chronology are also considered, as well as early Indian treatments of data that reflect historical linguistic developments. Emphasis is placed on philology: close attention to and appreciation of texts and their traditions before going on to a broader theoretical and historical context.

• Vedas -- Publication and distribution -- India -- History -- 19th century The backbone of this book on books is a history of a most unusual concept of the book that developed in South Asia with reference to the Veda... By the 19th century, regional cultures of print showed an uneven and spatially discontinuous development across the Indian subcontinent. They variously fed on regional patterns of communication, configurations of power, patronage, and a new economic regime. Their development formed part of tremendous transformations in the structures of power, statecraft, authority, and communication that the subcontinent was going through while being gradually absorbed into the globalizing orbit of the emerging British Empire. The period witnessed a general shift of knowledge-production sites and relocation of distribution and text-circulation networks towards new urban centres.... This book tries to understand how the emerging regional cultures of print created conditions for, inspired, and accommodated differently configured projects of bringing out printed editions of Vedic texts while leaving distinct traces of their respective nature on their editorial principles, book format, typographic form, and publishing ideology.

Drawing connections between local contests over marriage and resources, Nafisa Shah unearths deep historical processes and power relations. In particular, she explores how the state justice system and informal mediations inform each other in state responses to karo kari, and how modern law is implicated in this seemingly ancient cultural practice.

It adopts an interdisciplinary approach and employs a fine-grained, nuanced and situated reading of multiple agents and their actions. It explores how the political and administrative incorporation of territory (i.e. annexation) by East India Company informs the conversion of intra-cultural distinctions into socio-historical conflicts among the colonized and colonizers. The book focuses on colonial direct rule, rather than the more commonly studied indirect rule, of South Asia. It socio-culturally explores how agents, perspectives and intentions vary--both within and across regions--to impact the actions and structures of colonial governance.

Sindh under the Mughals: origin and development of historiography (1591-1737 CE).

• Naz, Humera
• Oxford U.P. (P)
• xxvi,254p pap.
• 2023
• [This] book is a major contribution to the history of Sindh, and consequently to that of Pakistan and South Asia. Beyond the excellence of the research, it must be emphasized that, if the reign of the Mughal rulers has been studied in detail, it is mainly in the imperial context, namely from the centres of power they had created and developed in northern India … Dr Naz has shifted the focus, producing an innovative perspective on how the Mughals exercised power in territories relatively far from the imperial centres, but above all she reveals the leading role they played in developing historiography through the spread of several literary genres. Thus, Dr Naz’s work renews the field of Mughal studies, but at the same time, it is much more than that. -- Michel Boivin

• Brahmanism -- Buddhism -- Relations -- History -- India As a consequence of the recent activities and utterances of the aggressive forces of Hinduism (or Hindutva), the twin issues of religion and identity are at the forefront of social and political discourse in India. This has also led to a growing interest in Buddhism and a reconsideration of the role of Christianity and Islam in India as well as given rise to a far-reaching reassessment of the cultural, spiritual and artistic heritage of the subcontinent. This fascinating book constitutes a unique exploration of 2,500 years of the development of Buddhism, Brahmanism and caste in India, taking Dr Ambedkar's interpretation of Buddhism as its starting point.

• [Der arische Weltkönig und Heiland : bedeutungsgeschichtliche Untersuchungen zur indo-iranischen Religionsgeschichte und Altertumskunde] The present studies deal with one of the most difficult questions about the Indo-germanic antiquities which are, however, the most important even for the general cultural and spiritual history: from the remotest days of the pre-historical ur-time, they try to develop the value, gradual growth, and change of concepts and ideas on the linguistic basis, which has become fundamental for the religion and ethics of the Aryans, and then play an important role in the mighty Aryan world-religion, in the doctrine of Buddha and in that of Zarathustra.
