Combo Pack (Set Of 3 Books) : Ram – A Global History | Hindu Culture as World Power | Children of the Chinar

1. Ram – A Global History :-

The Ramayana (also spelt as Ramayan) is India’s eternal tale. It tells the story of the god-avatar Ram (also Rama) and his incredible adventurous journey to establish good over evil and defeat the arrogant, covetous, and selfish king Ravan (also Ravana). It is a story with deep allegorical meaning and profound lessons in morality. It is epic in scope and structure, and has been told in India for thousands of years. But, as this brilliant book shows, the Ramayana and Ram are part of the epic-making structure and ethical code across Asia and elsewhere. The story of Ram in many ways is a story that belongs to all peoples around the world, and this book details some of the most striking ways in which the story of Ram has been told and retold. Ram – A Global History establishes the story of Ram as a common thread of humanity around the world.

Ram – A Global History marks the debut of a captivating young scholar with enormous promise. Ameya Pratap Singh was trained in international relations at St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, the London School of Economics and Cambridge, and then at Oxford where he competed his DPhil. He brings a unique voice and the ability to deftly sweep around the world in his research and tell a compelling, riveting story. Ram – A Global History is a must-read.

2. Hindu Culture as World Power :-

Benoy Kumar Sarkar was the Father of Indian international relations. Before anyone else, and at a time when India was still under colonial rule, he built the framework for India’s rise in the world and its contribution to geopolitics. He used ancient Indian knowledge systems and texts, from Kaultiya to Kalidasa, the idea of the mandala to the Mahabharata, to build the case for India’s rise as a global power. A polymath who was an expert in international relations, history, sociology and economics, Sarkar could research and write in five languages and was a Sanskritist.

For the first time in more than a century, this book brings back Benoy Kumar Sarkar’s seminal ideas that are invaluable in understanding the founding ideational pillars of rising India. The book comes with a brilliant introduction by Dr. Gautam Sen, himself a bit of a polymath, and who taught international political economy at the London School of Economics for more than two decades.
