About the Book
Ancient India: Insights into Social & Economic Dynamics
begins with a survey of
Vākāṭakas
epigraphy reflecting the society and religion of the
Vākāṭakas
. 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
Ṛigveda
and agrarian relations in early medieval India. Buddhist community: elements of social change, teacher-taught relationship as enshrined in
Upaniṣads
, and social organisation as reflected in
Manusmṛti
. The sacred waters: rain’s significance in the
Vedās
and reflections of
Satī
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. Trends, changes and continuity are identified and socio-economic developments are seen in their interconnection. Lastly, the book addresses significant social issues in the history of ancient India.
