  • Early Buddhist Artisans and their Architectural Vocabulary

    The early Buddhist architectural vocabulary, being the first of its kind, maintained its monopoly for about half a millennium, beginning from the third century BCE. To begin with, it was oral, not written. The Jain, Hindu, and other Indian sectarian builders later developed their vocabulary on this foundation, though not identically. An attempt is made here to understand this vocabulary and the artisans who first made use of it.

    In the epigraphic ledger, the first reference to the mythical creator of the universe, the Visvakarma (Visakama), is made on the thupas at Sanchi and Kanaganahalli; the earliest excavators of cave temples, comprising five specialists – selavdhaki, nayikamisa, kadhicaka, mahakataka and mithaka –  as well as a team of master-architects and supervisors, called the navakamis, appear at Kanheri. Besides these, there were also others called avesanis, atevasinas, acaryas, and upajjhayas all over the Buddhist world. The list does not end with these, because there were yet others called vadhakis (carpenters), seli-vadhakis (stonecutters), sela-rupakas (stone sculptors), mithakas (polishers), and so on. All these artisans who have recorded their life stories on the stone surface are identified, and their professional contributions evaluated here for the first time.

  • Karakarthaprabodhini

    Kaumud? (water lily) is the primer to study Sanskrit grammar, yet an ardent reader might find it a maze to untangle from its complexities. There is a need of Kaumud? (moonlight) to blossom it and show the light to reach its core. K?rak?rtha-prabodhin? is such an attempt. K?raka, a factor that determines the relation between verb and the constituent words of a sentence, enables the reader to understand the intent of the sentence and thus critical discourses too. The Sanskrit grammatical texts and discourses have elaborated on the subtleties of K?raka. Due to its profundity, there was a need for a lucid writing for the scholars and students for easy comprehension, which can be a reference book. Dr Potti made this possible for the Malayalam readers. Dr Shivani presents it for the Sanskrit fraternity too, with an introduction by Dr Varakhedi.

  • State Matters- Kannada Sub-Nationalism and State Formation

    Author: Rajendra Chenni

    State Matters: Kannada Subnationalism and State Formation analyzes the formation of a linguistic state and the inevitability of the contradictions arising from material and historical conditions. It examines the historical and political context which led to the emergence and acceptance of linguistic or regional identities during the freedom struggle, a struggle which ironically tried to subsume these identities into one master discourse of the nation.

    This book, traversing disciplinary boundaries, weaves complex disparate elements into the concept of linguistic subnationality. It underlines how linguistic subnationality is sustained against the push and pull of caste/class hegemony, national party-based politics, and larger forces of development and globalization.

  • Sringara in Subandhu and Nemichandra

    Author: Mahaling Bhat, Editor: N Thirumaleshwara Bhat

    The Vāsavadattā by Subandhu and the Līlāvati Prabandham by Nēmicandra are two renowned Campū Kāvyas (epic poem) in Kannada, which can be traced back to the early half of 700 BCE. K Mahalinga Bhat published a comprehensive analysis of the epic poems in 1966, situating the original works in their cultural and historical contexts. This book highlights the folk-tale motifs, the characterization and delineation of various Rasas, and analyzes the language of the epics. It also includes excerpts in Sanskrit from both works, accompanied by prose translations.

    The original stories are characterized by the element of Śṙṅgāra (Romance). In this book, the aspect of romance in the narratives and the lives of the protagonists is seen through a contemporary lens. It highlights societal conditions and norms prevalent between 700 to 600 BCE in Vāsavadattā and Līlāvati Prabandham in a different light. This new edition compiled by N Thirumaleshwara Bhat draws attention to the relevance of epic poems today and the universality of their narrative.

  • History of Private Banking in South Canara District (1906-69)

    Author: Amol Agrawal

    This book explores the unique history of banking in India’s South Canara district. The origin and growth of banking in this region played a significant role in the history of Indian banking, but its contributions remain under-researched. The banks of South Canara are particularly noteworthy as they implemented financially inclusive practices long before they were made mandatory during the nationalization of banks in 1969.

    The other sixteen nationalized banks were predominantly from the four metropolitan cities Bombay, Delhi, Calcutta, and Madras. The banks of South Canara warrant special attention as the prevalence of this establishment came about in a comparatively remote district. The banks also introduced and continued to offer many schemes for the benefit of the people in the region. This book traces the evolution of banks from the South Canara and how they have contributed to the rich local administrative history of the region.

  • In Solidarity: The Women in Bapsi Sidhwa’s Novels

    Author: Pradipta Shyam Chowdhury

    The Women in Bapsi Sidhwa’s Novels explores the concept of “solidarity”, through an in-depth reading of the “Parsi-Pakistani-Punjabi” writer’s works. As a writer, Bapsi Sidhwa resists a defined category, which gives her the fluid perspective of an “insider-outsider”. In context of Third World feminism, Pradeepta Shyam Choudhary delineates the writer’s significant position in the discourse, drawing a parallel between her voice and the characters in her stories.

    Drawing on the motif of the feminist quest for self-establishment in her writings, this book analyzes the issues raised about lived experiences of women in the Third World in general, and South Asia in particular. It illustrates Bapsi Sidhwa as a reminiscent thinker, highlighting her acute awareness of social conditions.

    Bringing to the forefront the diasporic elements of her creative career, this book focuses mainly on four of Bapsi Sidhwa’s novels – WaterThe Pakistani BrideIce-Candy-Man, and An American Brat.

  • Geopolitics of the 21st Century

    Author: M D Nalapat

    The war in Ukraine has once again brought to the forefront the interconnectedness of countries to one another. Supply chains and markets have become global, and the need to ensure price and quality competitiveness on the part of manufacturers, service providers, and producers has meant increasing reliance among countries for sourcing items essential to their own economies. The consequence of such interdependence has resulted in the intersection of geopolitics with several aspects of our lives. Our societies are more closely connected than ever before. While there have been instances of peaceful coexistence, tensions within and between countries have multiplied and, at times, have erupted into open conflict. Understanding the ebb and flow of events within countries has become essential in comprehending global factors which affect our lives. This book provides an insight into significant dynamics of our time, and what they might lead us to.

  • The Wisdom Behind Surgical Aphorisms
    What the masters tell us

    This book aims to accomplish the following goals:

    – To provide timely advice to surgeons both young and old in times of clinical dilemma

    – To reiterate the well-established principles of clinical surgery like meticulous history taking, diligent examination, and keen observation

    – To reassure budding surgeons that apprehension and self-doubt are not new and can be overcome by perseverance

    – To warn the younger generation that the basic principles like a thorough knowledge of anatomy have not become obsolete with the advent of technology

    – Above all, to emphasize that surgery is as much an art as it is science and is a vocation that is fulfilling in the truest sense

    Hands-on training in clinical skills is being increasingly neglected. The advent of competitive MCQ-based exams to gain entry into postgraduate training has made young medical graduates more intent on collecting facts than skills. Hence, young surgeons of today are ill-prepared to face the real world filled with uncertainties. This book is written primarily to guide these young and unsure surgeons, through the fatherly advice contained in the aphorisms. Of course, the wisdom behind the aphorisms is timeless and could be inculcated by the young and the old alike.
