    Classic Texts

    A classic text does more then tell an interesting story. It has many features such as that it gives us insight into specific historical events, highlights issues or concerns that are still around today, they can also last the test of time by still being relevant in the modern world and finally classic texts can serve to warn us of repeating the same mistakes made in the past. Any text that has these characteristics can be classified as a classic text. The novel 'Animal Farm', the extract from 'Pride and Prejudice', as well as the 'Martin Luther King Speech' (MLK speech) all have these characteristics and so they are therefore classified as classic texts.…

    India's Ancient Civilization

    The physical features of the Indian subcontinent have contributed to the development of India¡¯s civilizations. India is cut off from other civilizations because of the various mountains ( for example, the Himalayas, Vindhya Mountains, etc.) and the rivers (for example, the Ganges River). Therefore, India, unlike many other cultures at the time, was free from the influences of the outside world. They were able to develop their own culture. In terms of the physical features, the value of the environment would have determined where people lived. For example, civilizations most likely grew along the rivers of India rather than near the mountains. Rivers were a commodity because they provided fertile land, a route for merchant trade and provided a water source. On the other hand, mountains are generally not favorable for human habitation; the mountains were filled with dangerous animals, there would be harsher climates, and the rough terrain would make life harder because there would be scarcely an area for farming so thus there would be less food available. People who lived on the rivers most likely supported themselves through agriculture. The rivers provided fertile soil, which helped increase agricultural yields and their economy most likely started on agriculture then grew to become more complex (eventually including the specialization of labor). People living near the mountains most likely did not farm as mountain terrain is not at a proper ground level for farming. They most likely hunted for food and chopped woods for cooking. People living on the coast most likely supported themselves through fishing. Mountain people were less civilized than the river people because of the differences in their environment. These physical features also contributed to weather patterns which either decreased or increased the development of ancient Indian society. Mountains generally provide a colder winter, milder summers and stronger winds. However, river areas generally have…

Bendict Anderson defines nation as ‘an imagined community’.

    History of Ancient Assam2

    Ancient Assam was known as Pragjyotisha in early times and as Kamarupa in later times. The name Pragjyotisha stood for both the kingdom and capital city. The earliest mention of the city of Pragjyotisha is found in the Ramayana and Mahabharata. According to the Ramayana,this city was founded by Amurtaraja son of Kusa and grandfather of the famous stage Viswamitra. There are different options regarding the origin of the name''Pragjyotisha''. According to the Kalika Purana,''here Brahma first created the stars and hence the city is called Pragjyoitishpur,a city equal to the city of Indra.''13Gait says that the name,Pragjyotishpur ''is interesting in connection with the reputation in which,the country has always been held as a land of magic and incantation,and with the view that it was in Assam that the Tantrik from of Hinduisim orginated.''14The name Pragjyotisha,however,is most probably derived from the term Prag-jyotish,meaning the eastern light. Hence it appears to mean ''the city or land of eastern light.''15 The kingdom came to be known as Kamrupa during the Purantic times,based on the legend that Kamadeva, the god of love, the Indian Cupid,who was destroyed by the fiery glance of Siva returned to life in this country,16According to B.K. Kakati, the name ''Kamrupa'' is derived from an Austric formation like Kamru or Kamrut, the name of a lesser divinity in Santali, which justifies the association of the land with magic and necromancy.17 All this can be explained in the light of the cult of magic and sorcery prevalent in the land. The first historic reference to the kingdom of Kamarupa is made in the Allahabad Pillar Inscription of Samudragupta, assigned to the middle of the fourth century A.D. Geographical Extent : The geographical extent of the kingdom of Pragjyotish-Kamarupa varied from time 13. K.I.. Barua : Early History of Kamrupa.1996,p.7. 14. E.A. Gait : Op.cit..p.15. 15. D.C.

    Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was born to Thomas and Jemima Hardy in Upper Bockhampton, Dorset England. He was a well known notorious English poet and author. He had an immense passion for literature, architecture and music as he was exposed to them during his childhood through the teachings of oral folklore told by his parents. His poetic nod literary writings were influenced by altering events of his daily life such as love, heartbreak and belief in God.

    ancient education in india

    “He who is possessed of supreme knowledge by concentration of mind, must have his senses under control, like spirited steeds controlled by a charioteer” says the Katha Upanishad. From the Vedic age downwards the central conception of education of the Indians has been that it is a source of illumination giving us a correct lead in the various spheres of life. Knowledge says one thinker, is the third eye of man, which gives him insight into all affairs and teaches him how to act.…

    History of English Literature

    The Norman conquest of England, in the 11th century, made a break in the natural growth of the English language and literature. The Old English or Anglo-Saxon had been a purely Germanic speech, with a complicated grammar and a full set of inflections. For three hundred years following the battle of Hastings this native tongue was driven from the king's court and the courts of law, from Parliament, school, and university. During all this time there were two languages spoken in England. Norman French was the birth-tongue of the upper classes and English of the lower. When the latter got the better of the struggle, and became, about the middle of the 14th century, the national speech of all England, it was no longer the English of King Alfred. It was a new language, a grammarless tongue, almost wholly stripped of its inflections. It had lost half of its old words, and had filled their places with French equivalents. The Norman lawyers had introduced legal terms; the ladies and courtiers words of dress and courtesy. The knight had imported the vocabulary of war and of the chase. The master-builders of the Norman castles and cathedrals contributed technical expressions proper to the architect and the mason. The art of cooking was French. The naming of the living animals, ox, swine, sheep, deer, was left to the Saxon churl who had the herding of them, while the dressed meats, beef, pork, mutton, venison, received their baptism from the table-talk of his Norman master. The four orders of begging friars, and especially the Franciscans or Gray Friars, introduced into England in 1224, became intermediaries between the high and the low. They went about preaching to the poor, and in their sermons they intermingled French with English. In their hands, too, was almost all the science of the day; their medicine, botany, and astronomy displaced the old nomenclature of leechdom, wortcunning and star-craft. And, finally, the translators of…

    Indian English Literature

    History of English language and literature in India starts with the advent of East India Company in India. It all started in the summers of 1608 when Emperor Jahangir, in the courts of Moguls, welcomed Captain William Hawkins, Commander of British Naval Expedition Hector. It was India's first tryst with an Englishman and English. Jahangir later allowed Britain to open a permanent port and factory on the special request of King James IV that was conveyed by his ambassador Sir Thomas Roe. English were here to stay.…
