Soft cover. Condizione: New. Written with plenty of heart and a touch of humour, A Spoonful of Curds brings together a dozen short stories that unfold around Tamilians - both in India and abroad. From negotiating an arranged marriage and surviving the politics of the domestic realm, to love blossoming for the first time between newlyweds and empowering journeys of self-discovery - these stories bring out the curious, sometimes eccentric, singular world of their loveable characters.

Approaching the Divine: The Integration of Alvar Bhakti in Srivaisnavism is situated in the context of the ongoing scholarly debate regarding the historical evolution of Tamil Srivaisnavism. This study spans the period from the second half of the first millennium, i.e. the bhakti period to the period of consolidation of the scriptural and sectarian tradition in the first half of the second millennium. Traditionally, the lives of the bhakti saints have been used to understand their hymns. Examination of these hagiographies through the lenses of theology, caste, sectarian conflict and popular legends, however, suggests that these life stories might themselves be constructs of the latter period, and are governed by socio-economic and political impulses as much as by spiritual ones.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Of Thieves and Theris, Potters and Pativratas celebrates Kumkum Roy's contributions as a scholar and teacher of history. Best known for her research on the history of early India, Kumkum Roy has worked on sources as diverse as the Vedic corpus, the Therigatha, the Rajatarangini and the Mahabharata. A crucial feature of her scholarship has been her emphasis on the significance of gender in the reconstruction of India's pasts. She has enriched our understanding of social history through essays and edited volumes examining institutions and processes, including monarchy, urbanism, caste, the household and renunciatory traditions. While her primary source materials have been Sanskrit and Pali texts, she has also integrated insights from epigraphy and archaeology into her work. Her contribution as a teacher has been immense, and in recent years her pedagogical engagements have expanded to include writing textbooks for the Delhi State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) and the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), as well as interventions on the teaching of history at the school level. The essays in this volume in honour of Kumkum Roy draw attention to various aspects of early Indian social history.…
