Abstract

The study revisits the contentious issue of widow remarriage in Vedic India through an in-depth analysis of various passages from Vedic texts and different interpretations posited by scholars. The findings suggest that, while it has been historically viewed marriage as an indissoluble sacrament in Hinduism, evidence regarding widow remarriage is not conclusive. Some scholars argue that widow remarriage, specifically to a deceased husband's brother, was practiced during the Vedic era. This assertion is supported by Rigvedic passages X.18.8 and X.40.2, which purportedly hint at the practice. However, this interpretation is disputed, with some arguing that these passages actually underscore practices of self-sacrifice or 'niyoga' (levirate marriage). The study further explores Atharvavedic verses suggesting the remarriage of a punarbhu or a betrothed woman, not a widow. The research therefore suggests that Vedic texts did not explicitly endorse widow remarriage. It argues for a nuanced understanding of ancient customs and societal norms, highlighting the need for more rigorous and context-sensitive interpretations of Vedic texts.

Abstract

The study attempts to explore the Arthashastra, an ancient Indian treatise on public finance, authored by Kautilya around 300 BCE during the Mauryan period. The Arthashastra covers a wide range of topics including administration, politics, ecology, and economics, providing insights into the economic and political conditions of that era. The treatise emphasises the importance of treasury management, revenue generation, and expenditure allocation for the well-being of the state and its citizens. It enumerates seven sources of revenue, including income from crown property, state-controlled activities, taxes, trade, fees and service charges, fines, and miscellaneous sources. The Mauryan state, guided by the principles of the Arthashastra, established a centralised and efficient administration with specific officials responsible for revenue collection and management. The study also explores the significance of fraud prevention, accounting, auditing, and budgeting in public finance. The Arthashastra serves as a valuable historical document, offering inspiration and guidance for modern public finance, emphasising the balance between state management and the welfare of the people.

Abstract

The cultural history of Kashmir can be explained in part by its geographical position. Because of Kashmir's natural beauty and moderate climate, it's possible that Kashmiris have a long history of artistic expression. As a result of Kashmir's seclusion, security afforded by the surrounding mountains, and its distance from the centre of Indian culture, Kashmiri philosophy might be unique. Because of the harsh weather and long winters, it's possible that Kashmiris are drawn to philosophical inquiry. The geographic centre of the Puranic world is Kashmir. In this system, Kashmir's significance was recognised as a meeting ground for trade and ideas between the four major regions of the Old World. For the first time ever, the land of opposites attempted to be reconciled through a deeper examination and a more ambitious notion. The study is an attempt to explore the rich cultural heritage of Kashmir in an analytical manner.

Abstract

The study attempts to explore the Ghadar Movement, a pivotal revolutionary organisation in the early 20th century that played a significant role in India's struggle for independence. It aims to understand the socio-political origins of the Movement, to analyse its key figures and strategies, to assess its impact on Indian nationalism, and to evaluate its global impact and enduring legacy. The study employs a historical and analytical methodology, using primary and secondary sources to gather data, which is then interpreted and contextualised. In-depth examination of archival documents revealed the influences of colonial oppression, global events, and the sentiments of the Indian diaspora in igniting the Ghadar Movement. The study identifies key figures, their motivations and the strategies they employed, such as direct revolts and protests, as well as indirect approaches like propaganda and international networking. The research finds that the Ghadar Movement significantly influenced the rise of Indian nationalism and other revolutionary movements, shaping the course of India's freedom struggle. It also managed to garner notable international support, leaving a lasting impact beyond India's borders. It finds that the movement though unsuccessful in its immediate goals, left an indelible legacy in post-independence India, influencing its socio-political fabric and contributing to the narrative of India's struggle for independence.
