This book has five parts dealing with Hinduism in Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand and the Middle East. There are lot of Sanskrit inscriptions in South East Asia. Over 800 Sanskrit inscriptions covering almost all the countries in SE Asia. The country names Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam/Champa have Sanskrit origin. Ramayana and Mahabharata were part of their lives for over 1500 years. We can see the vestiges of Hindu festivals. Lot of books have produced pictures of beautiful sculptures.
Sangam Tamil books are at least 2000-year-old; chronologically Tamil stands next to Sanskrit in India; though 6000 year old Vedas are still available and recited in all the temples and Vedic Schools, Tamils have lost many of their ancient works. But fortunately, we see the continuity of Vedic thoughts in Tamil Sangam books; they are 18 in number. There is another grammatical treatise Tolkappiam which is considered older than the 18 books. We see full-fledged Hinduism in it. The book mentioned Vedic Gods as the Gods of the Tamils. I have been writing about it from 2011. This book has some of the articles on this topic.
Manu Smriti, the Hindu Law Book, is the oldest law book in the world. It is older than Hammurabi’s law book. I have given the details for my dating in this book. Manu Smritis is not followed anywhere in India now or earlier. But all ancient Tamil and Sanskrit authors have praised Manu Neeti (Manu’s Justice). Though we have more than 20 Hindu law books, Manu being the first, everyone praised it as a model book.
This is a Book of Quotations with a difference. I have selected over one thousand quotations mainly from Hindu scriptures. I have included books from Sanskrit and Tamil languages. Most of the quotation books have more foreign quotations than Hindu quotes. It is very rare to see Kalidasa or Tamil Tiruvalluvar in such books. I have given quotations from Dr. Radhakrishnan, Vedas, Upanishads and Tamil ethical works.
This book is a sequel to my earlier publication Hinduism in Sangam Literature. I am continuing the topic ‘Tamil Hindu Encyclopedia’ from part 16. Hinduism was practiced in day-to-day life with great enthusiasm. It is very visible in the 2000 year old Sangam poems. According to historians, the Puranas took the current shape in the Gupta Age. But Sangam poems are earlier than that. If it is the correct dating, then the first evidence for several Puranic anecdotes come from Sangam literature. It is amazing to see that the southern most part of India had practiced Hinduism in minute detail with great enthusiasm.
What kinds of civic ties between different ethnic communities can contain, or even prevent, ethnic violence? This book draws on new research on Hindu-Muslim conflict in India to address this important question. Ashutosh Varshney examines three pairs of Indian cities—one city in each pair with a history of communal violence, the other with a history of relative communal harmony—to discern why violence between Hindus and Muslims occurs in some situations but not others. His findings will be of strong interest to scholars, politicians, and policymakers of South Asia, but the implications of his study have theoretical and practical relevance for a broad range of multiethnic societies in other areas of the world as well. The book focuses on the networks of civic engagement that bring Hindu and Muslim urban communities together. Strong associational forms of civic engagement, such as integrated business organizations, trade unions, political parties, and professional associations, are able to control outbreaks of ethnic violence, Varshney shows. Vigorous and communally integrated associational life can serve as an agent of peace by restraining those, including powerful politicians, who would polarize Hindus and Muslims along communal lines.
This is the second part of my collection of anecdotes from an old book of anecdotes. I have not written anything. I have only compiled them. It will be very useful for party goers. The beauty of the book is that the anecdotes are arranged topic wise. Students may use this book for essay writing. I will give more anecdotes in the third part. Anecdotes regarding doctors, lawyers, judges, Christian preachers, politicians, soldiers, and other people from various walks of life are covered in this part.

Changing Homelands offers a startling new perspective on what was and was not politically possible in late colonial India. In this highly readable account of the partition in the Punjab, Neeti Nair rejects the idea that essential differences between the Hindu and Muslim communities made political settlement impossible. Far from being an inevitable solution, the idea of partition was a very late, stunning surprise to the majority of Hindus in the region. In tracing the political and social history of the Punjab from the early years of the twentieth century, Nair overturns the entrenched view that Muslims were responsible for the partition of India. Some powerful Punjabi Hindus also preferred partition and contributed to its adoption. Almost no one, however, foresaw the deaths and devastation that would follow in its wake. Though much has been written on the politics of the Muslim and Sikh communities in the Punjab, Nair is the first historian to focus on the Hindu minority, both before and long after the divide of 1947. She engages with politics in post-Partition India by drawing from oral histories that reveal the complex relationship between memory and history—a relationship that continues to inform politics between India and Pakistan.
Rewriting Indian History is hotly debated in India now. It is a matter that is welcomed by all the patriotic people of the country. Even after 75 years of Indian Independence, students are prescribed Pro-British rule matter that was written by the British rulers. The local history is completely absent. Historical period starts only from Sixth Century BCE whereas all other ancient cultures begin at least from 3000 BCE.
