[Bharatvarsh]

Last week I came across this site:

http://dli.iiit.ac.in/

I have to say its the best site online for Hindus besides VOI, it
has thousands of books online and tons of them dealing with Indian
history, some of these books include:

1) Advanced History of India in 2 Volumes by R.C Majumdar

2) Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan Vol 2 by Colonel James Todd

3) Life in the Gupta Age

4) Two books so far on the Vijayanagar empire I found

5) An 8 volume study of 1857 rebellion by some British authors

5) Later Mughals by Jadunath Sarkar

6) Haindava Swarajyamu 332 Pages book (in Telugu)

7) A short history of Muhammadan power in India by Ishwari Prasad

8) Babur Nama

9) Biography of Samarth Ramdas (quotes some original letters between
Shivaji and himself)

10) Biography of Sant Tukaram

And so many others, but the hard part is finding these titles, the
site has so many books and its very hard to instantly find a book,
you have to keep typing in random words related to India or Hindus
until you find some of those books, for example I had to type
Vijayan to get those 2 books on Vijayanagaram books, before that i
was typing in south india and other words but got nothing, so its a
kind of trial and error thing.

Most of the books work but the diff versions in which you get them
are crappy except for the PTIF one (in this version you get a
scanned copy of each page and its the clearest version) but in that
version you have to download each page after reading the preceding
one (takes a few seconds) but I find that it's worth it, it also has
regional languages including Marathi but not Gujarati.

I am reading a book titled "Flowers of Hindu Chivalry" right now,
has info on diff Hindu warriors including some traitors like Man
Singh, but rest are all good sections including stuff about Durgadas Rathore and Maharaja Surajmal, the book is found here:

Book review In Pioneer, 8 August 2006
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Rising for a lesser cause

If one believes the account of Field Marshal Lord Roberts, the revolt of 1857 was nothing more than the last and desperate attempt by Muslims to reimpose their superiority over Indian politics, write Prafull Goradia and KR Phanda

An Eye Witness Account of The Indian Mutiny, Field Marshall Lord Roberts of Kandahar; Mittal Publications, $60

<b>This book, An Eye Witness Account of the Indian Mutiny, by Field Marshal Lord Frederick Roberts of Kandahar needs to be read for more than one reason. First, it proves that the 1857 uprising was a sepoy mutiny. Second, it was the last attempt by Muslims to recover their own rule from the British. The epicentre of the mutiny was the erstwhile kingdom of Oudh. The role of the Hindu princes was only peripheral. Third, the decision of the Government of India to celebrate now the Mutiny as the First War of Independence would amount to heaping insult on the sacrifices made by the Rajputs, the Marathas, the Jats and the Sikhs to throw out the Muslim invaders from India. </b>

Between Lord Roberts and his father Major General Sir Abraham Roberts, they had spent almost 90 years in India. Frederick was in India from 1852 to 1893. He participated in quelling the mutiny at several places including Delhi. In his own words:

<b>"The first threatening of coming trouble were heard in the early part of 1857. During the months of February, March and April rumours reached us at Peshwar of mysterious chapattis (unleavened cakes) being sent about the country with the object, it was alleged, of preparing the natives for some forthcoming event. We heard that the 19th Native Infantry at Berhampore, a military station about 100 miles from Calcutta, had broken open the bells-of-arms... that a sepoy named Mangal Pandey at Barrackpore had wounded the Adjutant and Sergant Major of his regiment;</b> and that Sepoys at the Schools of Musketry had objected to use the cartridges served out with new rifles" (p-34).

<b>As the news spread, the native regiments based in Peshwar, Naushera, Umbala, Mian Mir (Lahore), Multan, Ferozpore and other places were disarmed. </b>The happenings at Meerut triggered the revolt elsewhere; and, it is from there that the sepoys marched to Delhi and declared Bahadur Shah as badshah. Soon, thereafter, some 85 soldiers refused to receive the rifle cartridges on the suspicion that these were greased with lard and cow fat. On enquiry, they were found guilty and punished severely. In retaliation, the British officers, their wives and children and every European on the outskirts of the Meerut Cantonment were massacred. Meanwhile, Delhi fell into Muslim hands. It took three months before General Wilson established his headquarters at the Red Fort. "Every eye," Lord Canning wrote, "is upon Oudh as it was on Delhi.''

<b>The Gurkhas and the Sikhs helped in the recapture of the Imambara in Lucknow. The city was recaptured on March 14, 1858. But for the sagacity of diplomacy and the cleverness of strategy, the British would not have been able to recapture north-west India. They received cooperation from the Amir of Afghanistan, the Sikhs and the Gurkhas of Nepal.</b> Commissioner of Lahore Division Sir John Lawrence had strongly advocated the policy of trusting the Maharaja of Patiala and the Rajas of Jind and Nabha. Douglas Forsyth, the Deputy Commissioner of Ambala, met the Maharaja and addressed him thus:

<b>"Maharaja Sahib answer me one question: Are you for us or against us?" The Maharaja's reply was: "As long as I live, I am yours."</b>

To the question what brought about the cataclysm, Roberts says: "The causes which brought about the mutiny were so various and some of them of such long standing, that it is difficult to point them out as concisely as I could wish. Mahommedans looked back to the days of their empire in India but failed to remember how completely. Their maulvis taught them it was only lawful for true Mussalmans to submit to the rule of an infidel if there was no possibility of successful revolt, and they watched for the chance of again being able to make Islam supreme. The late Sir George Campbell says that the mutiny was a sepoy revolt, not a Hindu rebellion" (p-231-24).

The annexation of Oudh by the British was considered unjust by Muslims. Their other grievance was the treatment meted out to Bahadur Shah, the last Mughal emperor. In this context, it needs to be pointed out that when Lord Lake captured Delhi in 1803, it was made clear to him that his place of residence would be shifted out of the Red Fort; and his successors would not be called badshah. Thus, the Muslims were aggrieved on several counts and the Meerut mutineers marched to Delhi and proclaimed him as the badshah of India.

Indian historical episodes have seldom been looked upon from the Hindu, as distinct from the Muslim, view point. Most of the time studies have been as if the communities were incidental and they were actually one people with a common heritage. If anything, it is the British who did not hesitate to make distinction. For example, Roberts quotes Sir John Campbell summing up that the mutiny was not a Hindu rebellion. On the other hand, the author himself has highlighted that other than the sepoys, the two great political causes were Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah and the Nawab of Oudh, both Muslim and both perceived to have been deprived of their hereditary thrones.

<b>Although it was not the soldier's business to analyse politics, a professional historian should not miss the point that the primary losers at the hands of the British were Muslims and not Hindus. Most of north India, except Rajasthan, was ruled by a badshah or a nawab who, in turn, had gifted large tracts of lands to his allies and satellites who were also mostly Muslim. The Hindu, on the other hand, had benefited from the advent of the East India Company, which demonstrated since the Battle of Plassey, 1757, that it had the military capability to defeat nawabs.

True, the sepoys must have had their grievances such as the new Enfield cartridges, but the substantive economic interests that were lost had belonged to Muslims. Due to the permanent land settlement of Lord Cornwallis, most of the zamindaris that were auctioned were taken up by Hindus, although earlier most of the land had been the jagirs of Muslims. </b>

The book is, in any case, a ready diary on he basis of which those decades of Indian history can be interpreted by students of history.

It is in this context that W.W. Hunter's book on the "Indian Mussalman" and Edmund Blunt's book and the Pakistan project have to be understood.

Google has an e-book dated 1852 India in Greece by E. Pococke. It is ~341 pages long and should be studied by all.
I want Kaushal, S. Kalyanram, Acharya and HH to take a look and give their opinion.

Mudy the copy of Orion has every other page blank. We need to have it edited in Acrobat and delete the extraneous pages.

I am thinking about sending e-mail to ggogle about this so they can fix it for everyone.
That isue of Hindu Renassiance I was talking about refers to this Orion. Now we can see the original.

<b>The Land of the Veda: Being Personal Reminiscences of India; Its People, Castes, Thugs, and... </b>By William Butler publ 1872

Title itself suggests objective of this book.
I think people use these type of book to degrade Hindusim and customs.

some example link

link<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> For instance, in India there is no such thing as patriotism, no capability of self-government. If the English rule were withdrawn tomorrow, the last thing the natives would think of would be to unite and form a general Government. Each Rajah and Nawab would simply set up for himself, hold all he had and take all he was able to seize . Then would begin a renewal of theose religious and national contentions which form such a sad part of India's history and the bloody excercise of which Britain terminated when she took control of the country, ever since holding the peace between those hostile elements.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

page 84
About vedas are oldest

page 87 he is claiming Rig veda says Hindoos are cow killers and beef eaters
in pafe 88 he goes real downhill

I think this book must be bible for jha and romilla thappar and other Marxist.

[ramana]

I was reading the History of Ancient India thru Sanskrit Literature by RC Dutt. What is mind blowing is that it is inscribed "with Best regards" by MR Jayakar. M.R. Jayakar was a great Indian of the British period who headed many committees one of whihc led to the creation of the Royal Indian Airforce.

Another book was on the Chronologies of South India since 6th century AD by R.E. Sewell. He also wrote the istory of the Vijayanagar Kingdom. Sewell from the book was civil servant in Madras Civil service ie state govt. Nowadays all that state civil servants are good for is hafta!

One thing to note is that many books are from the private libraries of prominent Bostonians. One book was from the library of Charles Sumner L.L.D. who as a Seantor led the impeachment of Andrew Johnson Wow!

<b>Concept of Complete Religion</b>


This book entitled Concept of Complete Religion has been written in a unique way, never seen before! From science to culture; from language to philosophy; and from religion to ultimate human resources development, which is spirituality - for embracing all, all of them and then tracing their common origin, here is a very special book for you!

The book unlocks India's complete contribution to the world in terms of three most important frontiers of humanity - religion, science and culture and the book has systematically and historically traced this contribution.

Being authored by Prof. Joy Sen of the Department of Architecture and Regional Planning, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, it provides us a vital key, which has been termed 'Concept of Complete Religion' for all humanity!

The book first brings to light the ancient sources and it does that logically. From the earliest Vedic foundations to the lineage of many prophets, the book forwards a key realization: 'The microcosm (small scale structures) and the macrocosm (large scale structures) are built on the same plan' - this is the common foundation of the Vedas and all later sciences, philosophies and institutions that are born out of it. Given this strength the book forwards the following:

Historically, it clears the doubts and bridges the missing links of Indian historic chronology in relationship to that of the world and clarifies the actual foundations of original Aryan strength not having a racial connotation but one of universal knowledge!

Culturally, it establishes the foundation of Indo-European tree! - A vital link to India's contribution to global language systems and semantics. All throughout the book has provided evidences and finally collated an exclusive glossary of over <b>500 original Sanskrit words that have become our commonly known English and other European words!</b>

<b>Scientifically, it provides ample evidences to establish the flow of Knowledge - that of the earliest social, material, and the cosmic sciences from India to Persia; from there to Anatolia and finally to Mediterranean Greece - that shaped the earliest Milesian and Ionian philosophers of Greece forming the very 'cradle of European civilization'.</b>

Religiously and architecturally, it supplies sets of evidences that unfold a journey splitting the original universal Vedic ideals - mainly into three later schools of religion:
Later iconographic priestly laded trends of Hinduism and later Buddhism
A ritualistic Magi laded religion in Persia and
A primacy of a patriarchal tradition of Judaism and its aftermath leading to two major offshoots - Christianity and Islam
Now times are changing! So, the book assimilates the various inputs to recognize a meeting ground of science, religion and culture. In the requirement of true modernity it forwards a 'complete' wisdom to the current state of world with its complex social and physical environments, so that they can be harmoniously correlated to foster a 'Complete religion' of humankind!
