Archaeology of Religion in South Asia Buddhist Brahmanical and Jaina Religious Centres in Bihar and Bengal c. AD 600–1200

Archaeology of Religion in South Asia Buddhist Brahmanical and Jaina Religious Centres in Bihar and Bengal c. AD 600–1200

In the religious landscape of early medieval (c. AD 600-1200) Bihar and Bengal poly-religiosity was generally the norm than an exception which entailed the evolution of complex patterns of inter-religious equations. Buddhism Brahmanism and Jainism not only coexisted but also competed for social patronage forcing them to enter into complex interactions with social institutions and processes. Through an analysis of the published archaeological data this work explores some aspects of the social history of Buddhist Brahmanical and Jaina temples and shrines and Buddhist stūpas and monasteries in early medieval Bihar and Bengal. This archaeological history of religions questions many ‘established’ textual reconstructions and enriches our understanding of the complex issue of the decline of Buddhism in this area.

Classical Islam A History 600 A

Classical Islam A History 600 A

In a book written with the poignancy and beauty appropriate to its subject matter the author opens by reminding us that the essence of a society is in a sense identical with its history. Classical Islam also serves as a reminder that in the case of Islam despite its triumphs on the fields of battle telling its history is the only way open to us to render that essence accessible and show it from all sides. The work offers a grand narrative of a faith that offers an interpretation of the world a way of life and a style of thinking that goes far beyond institutional or political supports. The relevance of this historical perspective is beyond dispute. The period from 610 A. D. when Muhammad received his call until the conquest of Baghdad by the Mongols in 1258 is known as the classical period of Islam. This was the period of the great expansion of Islam both as a political structure and as a religious and intellectual community. It established the base for the development of the high Islamic civilization of North Africa the Near East Persia and India as well as further expansion of the Islamic religious and intellectual community throughout the world. This book presents an authoritative history of the period written by one of the world's leading experts on the subject. Classical Islam examines the relationships both cultural and political between the Islamic world and the Mediterranean countries and India and elaborates on the economic social and intellectual factors and forces that shaped the Muslim world and molded its interactions with infidels. The work is written in a clear and direct narrative form emphasizing simultaneously the major intellectual trends and the political events and tendencies of the formative period in Islamic history that still resonates today. | Classical Islam A History 600 A
