dharma, and later came to be termed gurdwaras, literally Guru's portals. Both words cannot be properly translated. The common terms like Sikh temple or Sikh shrine fail to convey the spirit behind the institution of dharamsal or gurdwara. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven though Sikhs most popular Gurdwara, the Darbar Sahib at Amritsar, has come to be popularly known as the Golden Temple or Harimandir Sahib, the use of the word temple or shrine remains unsatisfactory since there is neither an altar nor an idol inside the gurdwara. On the contrary, the presiding presence in the gurdwara is that of the Holy Book, Guru Granth Sahib, which is the Guru Eternal for the Sikhs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA typical gurdwara has four doors on the four sides indicating its accessibility to people from all the four directors, irrespective of caste and creed, with Nishan Sahib fluttering high day and night.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to popular Sikh tradition, the first ever gurdwara was established at Talumbha, now in Multan District of East Panjab, Pakistan. Subsequently various other gurdwaras were established to commemorate Guru Nanak's and successive Gurus visits to these places in different parts of India. In the initial stage the management of the gurdwaras was looked after by revered leaders appointed in their areas. Subsequently, their management came under the control of masands. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn keeping with eh Sikh tradition, they did not look upon the offerings in gurdwaras as their personal property and utilized tem for the purpose of running free community kitchen. However, during the period of Sikhs persecution in the early eighteenth century, the management of gurdwaras passed on to the hereditary mahants who introduced many practices which did not conform to the tenets of Sikh religion. To reform their historic gurdwaras, the Sikhs launched a movement of reform, popularly known as the Akali Movement (1920-25) which resulted in liberating their historic gurdwaras.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith text provided by Dr Mohinder Singh, an eminent historian, the book covers the origin and development of the institution of gurdwaras and their management, and gives account of some of the major gurdwaras in India and Pakistan.

This fully revised edition, in light of the most recent research, brings the story right up to the early years of the twenty-first century. The book provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of Sri Lanka’s development-from a classical Buddhist society and irrigation economy, to its emergence as a tropical colony producing some of the world’s most important cash crops, such as cinnamon, tea, rubber and coconut, and finally as an Asian democracy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a study of the political vicissitudes of Sri Lanka’s ancient civilization and the successive phases of Portuguese, Dutch and British colonial rule. The unfortunate consequences of becoming a centre of ethnic tension and Sri Lanka’s long-standing relationship with India are also discussed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExhaustively researched and analytical, this book is an invaluable reference source for students of ancient, colonial and post-colonial societies, ethnic conflict and democratic transitions, as well as for all those who simply want to get a feel of the rich and varied texture of Sri Lanka’s long history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eABBREVIATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGLOSSARY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColonizers and Settlers\u003cbr\u003eThe Anuradhapura Kingdom I: Aspects of Political History from Saddhatissa to the Cola Conquest\u003cbr\u003eThe Anuradhapura Kingdom II: an Irrigation Civilization\u003cbr\u003eThe Anuradhapura Kingdom III: The Political Economy\u003cbr\u003eThe Anuradhapura Kingdom IV: A Buddhist civilization\u003cbr\u003eThe Polonnaruva Kingdom: Indian summer of Sinhalese Power\u003cbr\u003eThe Fragmentation of the Sri Lankan Polity: from C 1250 to the End of the Fifteenth Century\u003cbr\u003eThe Periphery stakes a claim\u003cbr\u003eThe Crisis of the Sixteenth Century\u003cbr\u003ePortuguese Rule in the Maritime Regions, c 1600-58\u003cbr\u003eThe Kandyan Kingdom at Bay, 1658-87\u003cbr\u003eThe Struggle for Mastery over Sri Lanka, c 1680-1766\u003cbr\u003eTrade and Agriculture Under the Voc\u003cbr\u003eThe Voc in Sri Lanka: The Last Phase, 1767-96\u003cbr\u003eThe Impact of Dutch Rule\u003cbr\u003eReligion, Literature and the Arts in the Kandyan Kingdom\u003cbr\u003eThe English East India company in Sri Lanka, 1796-1802\u003cbr\u003eThe Fall of the Kandyan Kingdom\u003cbr\u003eEconomic and Social Change in the Early Nineteenth Century, 1802-32\u003cbr\u003eCrown Colony Government, 1802-32\u003cbr\u003eAn Era of reform and reconstruction, 1833-50\u003cbr\u003eA Plantation Economy, 1850-1910\u003cbr\u003ePeasant Agriculture, 1850-1910\u003cbr\u003eThe consolidation of British Rule: The Triumph of Conservatism\u003cbr\u003eEducation and Social Change in the Late Nineteenth Century\u003cbr\u003eReligion and the rise of Nationalism, C 1870-1900\u003cbr\u003ePolitics and Constitutional Reform in the Late Nineteenth Century\u003cbr\u003ePolitics and Constitutional Reform in the Late Nineteenth Century\u003cbr\u003ePolitical Change in the Early Twentieth Century\u003cbr\u003eElite Conflict and the Ceylon National congress, 1921-28\u003cbr\u003eSocial and Economic Change in the Early Twentieth century, 1910-28\u003cbr\u003eThe Donoughmore commission and its recommendations, 1927-31\u003cbr\u003eThe Politics of the Transfer of Power: The fist Phase, 1931-42\u003cbr\u003eD S Senanayake and the Passage\u003cbr\u003eTo dominion Status, 1942-47\u003cbr\u003eLiterature and the Arts: The Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries\u003cbr\u003eSri Lanka Since independence: the Dominance of the UNP, 1947-56\u003cbr\u003eLinguistic Nationalism and A socialist Experiment, 1956-77\u003cbr\u003eA Change of Regime: 1977-94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEPILOGUE: 1994 AND AFTER \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOTES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSRI LANKA’S RULERS: A CHRONOLOGICAL LIST\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBIBLIOGRAPHY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFURTHER READING\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"K M De Silva \/ Penguin \/ Paperback","offer_id":40789201387689,"sku":"17074","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/17074.jpg?v=1625569375"}],"url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/collections\/india-world.oembed?page=2","provider":"The India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
