A brief descriptions of contents
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JainandIndology/message/139

Sant Kabir is India's best loved philosopher poet. His works have been read, studied, dissected, discussed; interpolated and plagiarised for centuries. A weaver by profession Kabir was entirely a self made and self-taught philosopher and mystic. In today's language, he was an independent thinker. There is huge debate about the religion he was born in, his attitude towards nirguna bhakti, saguna bhakti and towards the brahmanas.

What is beyond debate is Kabir's huge contribution to India's spiritual, mystic and philosophical tradition. Here are a few books which have accurate Hindi translations of his works.

SYADVADAMANJARI (Sanskrit)
(Six systems of Indian Philosophy examined from theJainaperspective)
By Acarya Mallisena
Edited by Motilal Ladha
First published in 1925
Reprinted as Sri Vijayamahodayasuri Granthamala 1
2002 220 x 145 mm 300 pp
Hardcover Rs. 80.00

Medieval India. The age of Nyaya. Logicians were the gladiators of this era.
The Brahmanas, the Buddhists, the Jainas, all had developed their
Nyayasastras. Mallisena made a very important contribution by establishing
logically, the supremacy of the Anekanta philosophy.

Mallisena originally composed Syadvadamañjari as a tika on Acarya Hemacandra's 'Anyayogavyayacchedika'. Nevertheless, Syadvadamañjari has taken on the stature of an independent work on Jaina Nyaya. Written in a very lucid style, Syadvadamañjari critically examines the classical Hindu system of six philosophies from the Jaina point of view and establishes the superiority of Jaina Darsana.

The work was first published in 1925; brilliantly edited by Motilal Ladha with no less than ten appendices. This is a freshly typeset edition published by Sri Vijayamahodayasuri Granthamala.

AHIMSA : THE SCIENCE OF PEACE (English)
By Surendra Bothara
Prakrit Bharati Puspa 43
2004 215 x 140 mm 210 pp
Paperback Rs.100

This book is written in a very lucid and contemporary style. Sabdalaghava has been achieved without compromising on arthalaghava. The quotes used are sourced from Western thinkers, as well as Indian sages. This book demonstrates ahimsa in the larger perspective, as a mantra for universal bliss.

A few comments on this book:

'It indeed contains a very thought provoking essay and (is) decidedly a fresh contribution to the concept, fabric, and application of Ahimsa as preached by the great Nirgrantha teachers.' - Dr. M. A. Dhaky

'Ahimsa is the central theme of Jaina philosophy. Many great scholars of the past have put forth profound discussion(s) on ahimsa darsana. We are grateful to the author for presenting a serious and detailed analysis of ahimsa darsana in original style for readers in English.

The book is not only worth reading but also worth pondering on. It is also worth popularizing for those who are curious about (the) fundamentals of Jainism.' - Muni Samdarshi Prabhakar

A CONCISE HISTORY OF INDIA (English)
A History of Modern India
By Barbara Metcalf and Thomas Metcalf
2002 215 x 140 344 pp 52 b/w plates and 4 maps
0 521 63974 3 Paperback Rs. 350.00

"Barbara Metcalf and Thomas Metcalf come together to to write a concise history of modern India. While early histories were often composed as handmaids of British imperialism or as products of emerging nationalist identities, this book challenges the notion that a continuous meaning can be applied to social categories such as 'caste', 'Hindu', 'Muslim', or even 'India'. The narrative focuses on the fundamentally political theme of the imaginative and institutional structures that successively changed and sustained both colonial and independent India. It also documents the social changes and the rich cultural life that were constituted in interaction with that political structure and vision. Earlier chapters focus on the period of Muslim dynasties that preceded colonial conquest, and the book concludes with the dramatic recent events of the 1990s, including economic change, religious nationalism and India's emergence as a nuclear power. Illustrations and quotations from historical sources are integral to the narrative."

Barbara D. Metcalf is a Professor in the Department of History, University of California, Davis.

Thomas R. Metcalf is Professor of History and Sarah Kailath Professor of India Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.

Indian Art
By Partha Mitter
Pounds Sterling 11.99

This lively new survey guides the reader through 2000 years of Indian art and architecture. A rich artistic tradition is fully explored through the Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, colonial and contemporary period, incorporating discussion of modern Bangladesh and Pakistan, tribal artists and the decorative arts.

Combining a clear overview with much fascinating detail, Mitter succeeds in bringing to life the true diversity of Indian culture. The influence of Islam on the Mugal court, which produced the world- famous Taj Mahal and exquisite miniature paintings, is closely examined. More recently, he discusses the rise of female artists, the stunning architecture of Charles Correa and the vibrancy of the contemporary Indian art scene.

Partha Mitter is Professor of History of Art at SussexUniversity.
