Book Description
This Sarasvati River book is a sequel to the book 'Chitpavan Konkanastha Brahmins' History [Pre- And Proto-]'. Like the previous book, it further takes the history to its final logical conclusion. It shows categorically that the Original Home of the Chitpavan Brahmins' ancestors was right on the banks of the ancient Vedic River Sarasvati, near its origin in the Himalayas, in the region now known as Uttarakhanda of India. The Chitpavan Brahmins ancestors were called 'Agnihotri Brahmins' then and were the neighbours of the Maithili Brahmins' ancestors in the region to their north-east as narrated. In the companion book 'Chitpavan Konkanastha Brahmins' History [Proto- And Pre-]' of this author, it was seen that the historic connection to 'Ahichhatra' in present-day UP, with due evidence, was provided by the Kannada Shashtik Brahmins who shared common ancestry with Chitpavan Brahmins. In this case, it is the Maithili Brahmins, one time old neighbours of the Chitpavan Brahmins' ancestors for long since the ancient Vedic times, who have come forward to provide the missing link to their ancestral history by emphatically providing the necessary evidence and connection of their ancestral home on the banks of the Vedic Sarasvati River in the Himalayas. Some of the readers might not have read this author's previous companion book - 'Chitpavan Konkanastha Brahmins' History [Proto- And Pre-]'. It is a very important one and a predecessor of this book. It is a must-read for getting the full picture of Chitpavan Origins. To acquaint them with its central ideas, a short synopsis from it is given at the beginning of this book, with its introduction etc. All the same, they should not miss upon the original book 'Chitpavan Konkanastha Brahmins' History [Proto- And Pre-]' that is still available at Pothi.com in printed edition.

Book Description
'History of Chitpavan Konkanastha Brahmins (Proto and Pre)'- An excellent book by Mr Vibhakar Lele, pieces together the most important story of who the Chitpavan Konkanastha Brahmins were, from where they came, their Kuldevatas, original habitats, customs and other important details. It categorically disproves the ancient hollow anecdotes based upon mere mythical propositions and conjectural guesswork. The author would like to share the story with Chitpavans and other well wishers and researchers. Dr Rosalind O'hanlon, Professor of Indian History and Culture, Oriental Institute, Oxford, who is researching Chitpavan Brahmins' history opined that the underlying work by the author is most interesting. She very much enjoyed and learned from it. The book comprises of the propositions about the pre-history of Chitpavan Brahmins. Most of important scatterred details have been put in place to stitch together their ancient and medieval history. At the same time the author delves into their proto-history from sage Agasti's times. Mr Lele has made several singular original contributions in this book. He has a novel approach to link up Chitpavans' ancient history with the Veda branches they follow. It is an attempt unheard of before. He has given lot of supporting data, maps, photographs, bibliography of great use to all the concerned.Another novelty is his analytic deduction of the Chitpavans' history from their Kuldevatas. The myth of Parshuram is seen by him in its true perspective. The other most important contribution by him is his new etymology of 'Chitpavan' word derived from 'Agnichit'. He shows that their Chitpavan Id is effectively linked to their Vedic duty of 'Agnihotra'. The present day genetic research into Chitpavans' ancestry has also been accounted for by the author to pronounce a proper verdict in simple terms on the subject. Another fact he uses is Chitpavans being Dwivedis which was never before accounted for. He cites epigraphs, scholarly research and documents in support of his analysis how Chitpavans came from Ahichhatra in UP to Ambejohai and Vanavasi, shifted to Kaveri river region and finally arrived in Konkan with the support of kings and emperors of their times. He has brought to the notice of researchers quite a few obscure historical facts, from Lele Kulvrittant, Mr N S Rajpurohit, an eminent archaeologist from Karnataka's research paper, Vyadeshwarodaya of Vishwanath, Pulkeshi and Kadamba reign Inscriptions in stone and Tamrapatas connected with Chitpavans'ancestry. Suffice it to say that Mr Lele has done something about Chitpavans' past which had never before been attempted on such a large scale. Perhaps after 'Chitpavan' by Mr Chapekar, this is a book which will serve as a written monument for Chitpavans'history.

Book Description
In Aryans, Jews, Brahmins, Dorothy M. Figueira provides a fascinating account of the construction of the Aryan myth and its uses in both India and Europe from the Enlightenment to the twentieth century. The myth concerns a race that inhabits a utopian past and gives rise first to Brahmin Indian culture and then to European culture. In India, notions of the Aryan were used to develop a national identity under colonialism, one that allowed Indian elites to identify with their British rulers. It also allowed non-elites to set up a counter identity critical of their position in the caste system. In Europe, the Aryan myth provided certain thinkers with an origin story that could compete with the Biblical one and could be used to diminish the importance of the West's Jewish heritage. European racial hygienists made much of the myth of a pure Aryan race, and the Nazis later looked at India as a cautionary tale of what could happen if a nation did not remain "pure." As Figueira demonstrates, the history of the Aryan myth is also a history of reading, interpretation, and imaginative construction. Initially, the ideology of the Aryan was imposed upon absent or false texts. Over time, it involved strategies of constructing, evoking, or distorting the canon. Each construction of racial identity was concerned with key issues of reading: canonicity, textual accessibility, interpretive strategies of reading, and ideal readers. The book's cross-cultural investigation demonstrates how identities can be and are created from texts and illuminates an engrossing, often disturbing history that arose from these creations.

Book Description
“What the Communist Manifesto is to the capitalist world, Annihilation of Caste is to India.” —Anand Teltumbde, author of The Persistence of Caste The classic work of Indian Dalit politics, reframed with an extensive introduction by Arundathi Roy B.R. Ambedkar’s Annihilation of Caste is one of the most important, yet neglected, works of political writing from India. Written in 1936, it is an audacious denunciation of Hinduism and its caste system. Ambedkar – a figure like W.E.B. Du Bois – offers a scholarly critique of Hindu scriptures, scriptures that sanction a rigidly hierarchical and iniquitous social system. The world’s best-known Hindu, Mahatma Gandhi, responded publicly to the provocation. The hatchet was never buried. Arundhati Roy introduces this extensively annotated edition of Annihilation of Caste in “The Doctor and the Saint,” examining the persistence of caste in modern India, and how the conflict between Ambedkar and Gandhi continues to resonate. Roy takes us to the beginning of Gandhi’s political career in South Africa, where his views on race, caste and imperialism were shaped. She tracks Ambedkar’s emergence as a major political figure in the national movement, and shows how his scholarship and intelligence illuminated a political struggle beset by sectarianism and obscurantism. Roy breathes new life into Ambedkar’s anti-caste utopia, and says that without a Dalit revolution, India will continue to be hobbled by systemic inequality.

Book Description
In 2012, the Bombay High Court celebrated the 150th year of its existence. As one of three high courts first set up in colonial India in 1862, it functioned as a court of original and appellate jurisdiction during the British Raj for over 80 years, occupying the topmost rung of the judicial hierarchy in the all-important Bombay Presidency. Yet, remarkably little is known of how the court functioned during the colonial era. The historiography of the court is quite literally anecdotal. The most well known books written on the history of the court focus on humorous (at times, possibly apocryphal) stories about 'eminent' judges and 'great' lawyers, bordering on hagiography. Examining the backgrounds and lives of the 83 judges-Britons and Indians-who served on the Bombay High Court during the colonial era, and by exploring the court's colonial past, this book attempts to understand why British colonial institutions like the Bombay High Court flourished even after India became independent. In the process, this book will attempt to unravel complex changes which took place in Indian society, the legal profession, the law, and the legal culture during the colonial era.
