...ಅಶೀಶ್ ನಂದಿಯವರದು ಆರಾಮ ಕುರ್ಚಿಯ ಚಿಂತನೆ ಅಲ್ಲ; ಬದಲು, ಸಿದ್ಧ-ಸಿದ್ಧಾಂತಗಳೆಂಬ ಆರಾಮ ಕುರ್ಚಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒರಗಿದವರನ್ನು ಹೌಹಾರಿಸಿ ಬೀಳಿಸುವ ಚಿಂತನೆ. ಉದಾಹರಣೆಗೆ, ನಂದಿ ಅವರ ಪ್ರಕಾರ, ಸೆಕ್ಯುಲರಿಸಮ್ ಮತ್ತು ಕೋಮುವಾದಗಳು ಇವತ್ತು ಜನಪ್ರಿಯ ನೆಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಹೊಡೆದಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವ ಶತ್ರುಗಳಂತೆ ಬಿಂಬಿತವಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೂ ಕೂಡ ನಿಜವಾಗಿ ಅವು ವಿರೋಧಿ ಮೂಲದ ಪರಿಕಲ್ಪನೆಗಳಲ್ಲ, ಮೂಲತಃ ಆಧುನಿಕತೆಯ ಅವ್ಯಕ್ತ ಸಂತಾನಗಳು; ಒಂದೇ ಸೊಂಟವನ್ನು ಹಂಚಿಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ಸಯಾಮಿ ಅವಳಿಗಳು. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದಲೇ ಒಂದೆಡೆ ಸೆಕ್ಯುಲರಿಸಮ್ಮಿನ ಉಗ್ರ ಪ್ರತಿಪಾದನೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತಿದ್ದಂತೆ, ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯಾತ್ಮಕವಾಗಿ ಇನ್ನೊಂದೆಡೆ ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಪ್ರಬಲವಾದ ಕೋಮುವಾದವೂ ಬಲಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತ ಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ - ಎಂಬ ಸೂಚನೆಯನ್ನು ನಂದಿಯವರ ಬರಹಗಳು ಮುಂದಿಡುತ್ತವೆ... ಹಾಗಂತ, ಇಂಥ ಒಂದು ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾಪವನ್ನು ನಂದಿಯವರು ರೋಚಕವಾದ ಒಂದು ರೂಪಕವಾಗಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಮಂಡಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನೂ ನಾವು ಅಗತ್ಯ ಗಮನಿಸಬೇಕು. ಬದಲು, ಇಂಥ ವೈರುದ್ಧಗಳು ಹೇಗೆ ಇವತ್ತಿನ ಕಾಲದ ನಮ್ಮ ವಿದ್ಯಮಾನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮೇಲುಗಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಕಾಣದ ಹಾಗೆ ಕರಗಿಹೋಗಿವೆ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನೂ ಸಾವಧಾನವಾಗಿ, ವಾಸ್ತವಾಂಶಗಳ ಅಧ್ಯಯನಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಅವರು ಬಿಚ್ಚಿಡುತ್ತ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾರೆ... ಹೀಗೆ, ನಾವು ಯಾವುದನ್ನು ಸ್ವತಃಸಿದ್ಧ ಸತ್ಯ ಎಂದು ನಂಬಿರುತ್ತೇವೋ ಅದನ್ನು ಬೇರೆ ದಿಕ್ಕಿನಿಂದ ಪರಾಮರ್ಶಿಸಿ, ಅದು ಹಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ನಮ್ಮ ರೂಢಿಗತ ನಂಬಿಕೆಗಳ ಉತ್ಪನ್ನವಾಗಿರಬಹುದು, ಸಿದ್ಧಮಾದರಿಯ ಚಿಂತನೆಗಳ ಪರಿಣಾಮ ಮಾತ್ರ ಆಗಿರಬಹುದು ಅಥವಾ ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ಕೇವಲ ಬೌದ್ಧಿಕ ಸೋಮಾರಿತನದ ಫಲವಷ್ಟೇ ಆಗಿರಬಹುದು - ಎಂದು ಯೋಚಿಸಲು ಹಚ್ಚುವುದೇ ಅಶೀಶ್ ನಂದಿಯವರ ಕ್ರಿಯಾಶೀಲತೆಯ ಮೂಲ ಆಶಯ...

Today, most intellectuals agree that (a) Christianity has profoundly influenced western culture; (b) members from different cultures experience many aspects of the world differently; (c) the empirical and theoretical study of both culture and religion emerged within the West. The present study argues that these truisms have implications for the conceptualization of religion and culture. More specifically, the thesis is that non-western cultures and religions differ from the descriptions prevalent in the West, and it is also explained why this has been the case. The author proposes novel analyses of religion, the Roman 'religio', the construction of 'religions' in India, and the nature of cultural differences. Religion is important to the West because the constitution and the identity of western culture is tied to the dynamic of Christianity as a religion.

This is a comprehensive, intelligible and interesting portrait of Ancient Indian History and Civilization from a national historical point of view. The work is divided into three broad divisions of the natural course of cultural development in Ancient India: (1) From the prehistoric age to 600 B.C., (2) From 600 B.C. to 300 A.D., (3) From 300 A.D. to 1200 A.D. The work describes the political, economic, religious and cultural conditions of the country, the expansionist activities, the colonisation schemes of her rulers in the Far East. Political theories and administrative organizations are also discussed but more stress has been laid on the religious, literary and cultural aspects of Ancient India. The book is of a more advanced type. It would meet the needs not only of general readers but also of earnest students who require a thorough grasp of the essential facts and features before taking up specialized study in any branch of the subject. It would also fulfil the requirements of the candidates for competitive examinations in which Ancient Indian History and culture is a prescribed subject.
Culture of Memory in South Asia reconfigures European representations of India as a paradigmatic extension of a classical reading, which posits the relation between text and context in a determined way. It explores the South Asian cultural response to European “textual” inheritances. The main argument of this work is that the reflective and generative nodes of Indian cultural formations are located in the configurations of memory, the body and idiom (verbal and visual), where the body or the body complex becomes the performative effect and medium of articulated memories. This work advances its arguments by engaging with mnemocultures-cultures of memory that survive and proliferate in speech and gesture. Drawing on Sanskrit and Telugu reflective sources, this work emphasizes the need to engage with cultural memory and the compositional modes of Indian reflective traditions. This important and original work focuses on the ruptured and stigmatised resources of heterogeneous Indian traditions and calls for critical humanities that move beyond the colonially configured received traditions. Cultures of Memory suggests the possibilities of transcultural critical humanities research and teaching initiatives from the Indian context in today’s academy.
The present work describes the material and moral progress which India had achieved during the paramount sovereignty of the Gupta emperors in the fourth and fifth centuries a.d. It traces the origin and rise of the ruling family to Srigupta (240-280 a.d.) and concludes with the reign of Kumaragupta III (543 a.d.). It discusses the spirit of the age and the various trends in the sphere of Religion, Economy, Society, Education, Administration, Art and Architecture. It seeks to bring together all the facts and data derivable from different sources--literary, epigraphic and numismatic, the accounts of foreign visitors, particularly of the Chinese pilgrim Fa-hien who has left a detached and valuable record of India`s civilization during the reign of Chandragupta II. Herein we get an accurate picture of India`s golden age, the growth of her various institutions, her activities of expansion, colonization and her intercourse with Indonesia, China and other countries. The work is divided into sixteen chapters. It has an index of proper names and an addenda on the hoard of new Imperial Gupta coins discovered at Bayana in Bharatpur. The work is very interesting and instructive and is designed to meet the requirements of the academic student of history and the general reader alike.
