The western state of Gujarat has been a hub of religious and trading activity from the eighth century onwards. The medieval history of Gujarat unlike other states in India is not very well known. The present book analyses the religious changes in early medieval Gujarat and examines the social context especially in reference to the rise of Brahmanism, Jainism and Buddhism and their support from the local kings and chieftains.

Charters of the Chaulukyas and Vaghelas of Gujarat(c.950–1300 CE)

By: Charters of the Chaulukyas and Vaghelas of Gujarat(c.950–1300 CE)

Land grants were issued on a large scale by the Chaulukya and Vaghela rulers from c. 900–1350 CE to religious institutions in Gujarat. A study of these inscriptions are a valuable source of ideology and society prevalent during this period. These charters or land grants have been studied extensively by the author. The changes are valuable in understanding the transformation and proliferation of subsects in religious belief and the Varna system in Western India and particularly in Gujarat.

SriRam Janmbhoomi Ayodhya Unpunished Conspiracy

Brutal Killing, Mischief and Interpolation

By: Ranjana Agnihotri

This book attempts to unfold the evidence, facts and contemporaneous records that were not represented prior to the start of court proceedings in Ram Janambhoomi case. Unfortunately, several historical facts were subjected to oblivion on account of non-surviving witnesses at the time of the trial. This book reveals evidence against the most heinous crimes committed upon the Hindu devotees in Ayodhya while they were performing their rituals peacefully. On 2nd November, 1990, large numbers of innocent devotees were killed due to merciless firing by the police force. That the crimes have gone unpunished remain a mystery to the author. The book seeks justice for the innocent martyrs. This compilation does not aim to evoke a fresh controversy. Rather, an attempt has been made to bring out in public the truth behind conspiracies that were deliberately used to cover up facts and evidence. The book is a well-researched piece of work that intends to restore the balance of justice in the evidence-based legal system.

Resisting Dispossession

The Odisha Story

By: Ranjana Padhi,Nigamananda Sadangi

The book brings to the reader a set of political and social narratives woven around people’s resistance against big dams, mining and industrial projects, in short, displacement and dispossession in Odisha, India. This saga of dispossession abounds with stories and narratives of ordinary peasants, forest dwellers, fisher folk and landless wage laborers, which make the canvas of resistance history more complete. The book foregrounds these protagonists and the events that marked their lives; they live in the coastal plains as well as the hilly and forested areas of south and south-west Odisha. The authors have chronicled the development trajectory from the construction of the Hirakud Dam in the 1950s to the entry of corporations like POSCO and Vedanta in contemporary times. It thus covers extensive ground in interrogating the nature of industrialization being ushered into the state from post-independent India till today. The book depicts how and why people resist the development juggernaut in a state marked with endemic poverty. In unraveling this complex reality, the book conveys the world view of a vast section of people whose lives and livelihoods are tied up to land, forests, mountains, seas, rivers, lakes, ponds, trees, vines and bushes. These narratives fill a yawning gap in resistance literature in the context of Odisha. In doing so, they resonate with the current predicament of people in other mineral-rich states in Eastern India. The book is an endeavour to bring Odisha on the map of resistance politics and social movements in India and across the world.
