Hardbound. Condizione: As New. New. Contents Introduction. 1. The prehistoric mythological Ramayan links. 2. The Sinhala race Indo Aryan origins. 3. The Veddas Kuveni and Indian connection. 4. Buddhism the intricate link between India and Sri Lanka. The book is about the uninterrupted interaction and continuous flow of humans ideas and influences between the two neighbors ensured by geographical proximity the more recent chapters are well known by virtue of being well documented in the annals of history the author has therefore not touched them. He has focused on the prehistoric and distant episodes which find reflection in great Indian epic and most revered Buddhist chronicles of Sri Lanka namely the epic Ramayana and chronicles Mahavansa. Picking up his threads from epics chronicles legends and popular beliefs the author has weaved an enchanting sequence to demonstrate the spiritual unity between the people of two countries as it existed in ancient times. There is a graphic narration of Sri Lanka as LANKA of 1000 B.C. ruled by Ravan the powerful king of Demons who was a staunch devotee of the Hindu God Shiva and of his destined confrontation with the Aryan Prince Ram from the Northern Plains of India who was an incarnation of another Hindu God Vishnu. The author deriving the source from Mahavansa traces the origins of majority Sinhala race of Sri Lanka to the arrival in Sri Lanka of the Indo Aryans led by Prince Vijay from the region across the island which now constitutes Orissa and West Bengal in India. There is an interesting episode based on legends which establishes a matrimonial alliance as early as 6 century BC between an Indo Aryan Prince and an indigenous tribal princes. The surviving Vedda tribes of contemporary Sri Lanka are considered by some as descendants of the children born out of this legendary wedlock. In the closing chapters there are vivid descriptions of the Buddhist links between India the birthplace of Buddhism and Sri Lanka where over seventy percent of contemporary population follows Buddhism as religion philosophy or way of life. The narrations in this coffee table book are supported by colourful visuals of peoples places and events these visuals include photos painstakingly clicked by the author as an amateur photographer. The author conceived the idea of producing this coffee table format book while he was posted in Sri Lanka as Assistant High Commissioner for India in Kandy from 2000 to 2004. He subscribes to that school of thought amongst the geologists who believe that at some distant point of time India and Sri Lanka were part of the same land mass and only as a result of the subsequent continental drift the two were separated but yet by only a narrow strip of water called Palk Strait. 128 pp.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - India - Armenia: So Far Yet So Close, written by Achal Malhotra, who served as India's Ambassador to Armenia (2009-12), traces the origins of people to people contacts between Armenia and India to at least 4th century B.C., and thereafter narrates the story of the glorious past of Armenians in India from medieval India up to India's independence in 1947. He finally highlights the emergence of a new quality of cooperation between the Indian and the Armenian people at the end of the 20th century, which came as a result of the establishment of official ties between the newly independent Republic of Armenia and India on August 31, 1992, and presents his own inspirational vision for the future of this cooperation, based on his insights as a key player in its development. The readers will be struck with the drastic contrast between the harmonious integration and prosperity of Armenians in Indian society in the past and the apparent absence of Armenians from the landscape of contemporary Indian culture, business and politics. The exodus of the erstwhile prosperous Armenian population from India was nothing but a misread of the situation and a miscalculation of the country's future on the part of Indian-Armenians in the 20th century. India - Armenia: So Far Yet So Close is intended to trigger interest in its theme, help readers to visualize the distant past and introduce unfamiliar readers with the vibrant history shared between the two ancient people.…
