| Author: H.G. Keene |
| Edition Year: 1972 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: History/Geography |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about History of Hindustan. Hindustan in a large sense is the appellation of the country bounded on the west by the river Indus and the ocean, on the south by the Narbada and the Vindiya range, on the east by the Brahmaputra River and on the north by the Sub-Himalayas. The soil and climate of this vast tract are liable to many variations, not only from latitude of which its includes nearly ten degrees but also from various physical features, parts of the country basking at the feet of a great mountain wall, while part is alluvial and part especially of the westward, a wilderness of rock and sand. Leaving out the Sub-Himalayan region, which has played but little part in history, the land of the Hindus contains no very high ground. The lottiest portion is the plateau of Ajmere, situate on the eastern slope of the Aravali hills. These form a mass of primitive granite, of which the chief peak is Mount Abu, about five thousands feet above the level of the sea. |

| Edition Year: 1988 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: History/Geography |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Charles Allen |
| Abstract: From the early nineteenth century to the present day, the British fascination with India has never faded. For over 150years a steady stream of young gentlemen made their way to India to join the army and make their fortunes. Author has skillfully abridged the delightfully frank and perceptive memoirs of one young man-Captain Albert Hervey, who arrived as an innocent and eager cadet at Madras in 1833 to join the sepoy army of the East India Company. Although he rose to the rank of Major-general, this memoir covers first impressionable years of Henvey on the sub-continent in the heady days before the Indian Mutiny. Hervey vividly recalls his early experiences. Magnificently complemented by contemporary illustrations from the National Army Museum, few of which have ever been published before. This book is a remarkable portrait of the last years of the East India Company. First published in 1853 but out of print for more than a century. |

| Title: Chinas Tibet: Autonomy or Assimilation |
| Author: Warren W. Smith, Jr |
| Edition Year: 2008 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: History/Geography |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This groundbreaking book explores Chinas efforts to assimilate Tibet, in the process rewriting Tibetan history to conform to Beijings goals. Warren W.

His clear eyed appraisal of Chinese policy convincingly shows that the PRCs ultimate intention is assimilation rather than autonomy. The author argues that Beijing fears that any genuine autonomy or dialogue with the Dalai Lama will find renewed nationalism in Chinas Tibet as the Chinese leadership calls its possession. |

| Title: Gem in the Lotus: The Seeding of Indian Civilisation |
| Author: Abraham Eraly |
| Edition Year: 2004 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: History/Geography |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is a lucid and comprehensive portrait of early Indian civilization, its religious and cultural traditions as well as the everyday life of the people. These traditions and lifestyles are in many ways still alive in India today. The story begins with the Indus civilization, which endured for a thousand years between 2500 and 1500 BC. It was eventually superseded by Aryan migrants, who composed, on the banks of the rivers of Punjab, the Vedas, the oldest religious literature in an Indo-European language. There then followed, in the middle of the first millennium BC, a period of astonishing intellectual ferment, which produced the subtle mystical speculations of the Upanishads and a whole host of daringly radical philosophers. |

| Edition Year: 1998 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: History/Geography |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is a trend-setter in this regard as it studies the workings of this process from fresh perspectives using new methodologies of inter-disciplinary approach, for instance.

It sheds some new light on the history of the Jagannatha cult by considering folk versions of this tradition. The salient feature of the work is its freshness in approach, its focus is on interaction of the socio-economic, religious and cultural forces and counter-forces unlike traditional historical works which primarily record the political events. |

| Title: History of the Muslims of Bengal: Volume 1 and 2 |
| Author: Muhammad Mohar Ali |
| Edition Year: 1985 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: History/Geography |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This set is a comprehensive history of the Muslims of Bengal. It deals with the period of more than five hundred years prior to the establishment of British political dominion over the land. It is divided into five parts. The first four parts deal with the four specific periods into which the political history may be divided, namely, the period of the Bengal Sultanat, that of transition to Mughal rule, the Mughal rule and the Murshidabad Niyabat. The fifth part is devoted to socio-cultural history. A larger space has necessarily been taken by the political history if only because, unlike socio cultural developments which usually follow the same pattern over a considerable length of time, political developments for the same period are more varied and numerous. Moreover, an attempt has been made to discuss all the essential political and military events in some detail and also to elucidate, as far as practicable, some doubtful or controversial points and issues. |

| Title: Illustrations of the History and Practices of the Thugs |
| Author: Thornton |
| Edition Year: 2000 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: History/Geography |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: The limited portion of information recently obtained in this country as to the existence and practices of the classes of Assassins known by the name of the Thugs, has had the effect of diverting public curiosity to the subject, and the following pages have been compiled with a view to the gratification of that feeling. The best authorities have been consulted and the general views which are presented to the reader may claim at least the praise of accuracy. As the object of the writer was to convey information, and to afford as just and at the same time, as vivid a picture as possible of the strange state of society which it was his duty to exhibit, he has in many instances given the confessions or depositions of members of the Thug fraternity in their own language, in preference to rendering them into his own. This plan, it was conceived, would afford to the reader a degree of insight into the characters and feelings of these murderers, superior of a mere narrative. |

| Title: Imperial Affinities: Nineteenth Century Analogies and Exchanges between India and Ireland |
| Author: S. B. Cook |
| Edition Year: 1993 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: History/Geography |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is an important contribution to British imperial history which challenges the extremities of this interpretative deconstruction by suggesting how the empire actually had a substantial degree of cohesion. It investigates the various ways by which the British borrowed during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from their experiences of Ireland in formulating policies and deepening their hold on India, their most prized and lucrative possession. It illustrates how the standard conceptual paradigms of colonizer-colonized and core-periphery fail in their simple dualism to account for the multilateral movements and multidirectional forces that clearly occurred within the web of Britain and its imperial possessions. |
