Ancient India By Chauhan, G.c.

Ancient India: Insights into Social & Economic Dynamics begins with a survey of Vaka?akas epigraphy reflecting the society and religion of the Vaka?akas. This book further discusses certain social and economic issues, and also deals with some important issues such as sea and sea-faring as reflected in the ?igveda and agrarian relations in early medieval India. Buddhist community: elements of social change, teacher-taught relationship as enshrined in Upani?ads, and social organisation as reflected in Manusm?ti. The sacred waters: rain’s significance in the Vedas and reflections of Sati in literary and epigraphical traditions are some of the major themes taken up. The contributors of this book reconstruct the social and economic dynamics in ancient India.
