#BookReview Isavasyopanishad, An English Commentary By Nithin Sridhar

In this #Thread, we shall take a deep-dive into the book through the excellent review of the book by Shivakumar GV @SaamaanyaJ

@IndicaBooks #book
At the outset, it seems like a shift in his focus, a leap into the Paramartha. However, from this review it will be clear that a singular focus and concern is driving all his writings. The ‘Paramartha Chintana’ is very much part of ‘Purushartha Chintana’.
Bharateeya Parampara does not see the two any differently. The ‘Iha’ and the ‘Para’ are always together.

The former is organized towards the latter. The latter shapes the former.

The Upanishad he has chosen is ‘Isavasyopanishad’

#BookOverview 'Flight of Deities and Rebirth of Temples: Episodes from Indian History'
by Meenakshi Jain

This work examines the medieval response to temple destruction and image desecration

#Thread @IndicaBooks #History Image
While temples were destroyed on a considerable scale, also noteworthy were the repeated endeavours to reconstruct them

In each instance of rebirth, the temple retained its original name, even though there was a visible downsizing in its scale and grandeur
The Keshava temple at Mathura, the Vishwanath temple at Kashi, the Somnath temple in Saurashtra, the Rama mandir at Ayodhya were among the shrines continually restored, well after Hindus had lost all semblance of political power

#BookOverview 'The Meaning of India'
by Raja Rao

A combination of fables, journeys, discussions and meditations, The Meaning of India advances the view that India is not just a geographical entity, or even a civilization-state

@IndicaBooks #1000ReviewersClub
India is, above all, a metaphysic, a way of being and regarding the self and the world

Drawing on a wide range of sources-including the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Gita, the Buddha, Sankara, Bhartrihari, Kalidasa, Dostoevsky, Valéry, Rilke, Mann...
...and Mallarmé-as also meetings with Gandhi, Nehru, Forster and Malraux, Rao teases out the implications of Advaita or non-dualism, which he regards as India's unique contribution to the world

#BookOverview Blood Island: An Oral History of the Marichjhapi Massacre by Deep Halder

'When the house of history is on fire, journalists are often the first-responders, pulling victims away from the flames. Deep Halder is one of them' - Amitava Kumar

#Thread @IndicaBooks Image
In 1978, around 1.5 lakh Hindu refugees, mostly belonging to the lower castes, settled in Marichjhapi an island in the Sundarbans, in West Bengal

By May 1979, the island was cleared of all refugees by Jyoti Basu's Left Front government
Most of the refugees were sent back to the central India camps they came from, but there were many deaths: of diseases, malnutrition resulting from an economic blockade, as well as from violence unleashed by the police on the orders of the government

Continuing, Colonialism has been one of the most significant events in the last three hundred years or so for Indian culture. What exactly is immoral about this?
‘Colonial consciousness’, an important thesis of Balu’s research program, is a framework that denies access to our experience and makes us reproduce some sets of colonial ideas as though they describe our experience.
This process continues to the present times much after the colonizers have left. British colonialism introduced the framework about the superiority of the western culture as ‘objective’ or ‘scientific’ that was both presupposed and proved. The colonized accepted this.
