Indische jeugdliteratuur : Geannoteerde bibliografie van jeugdboeken over Nederlands-Indië en Indonesië, 1825-1991 /
:
In deze geannoteerde bibliografie van jeugdboeken, waarin Nederlands-Indië en Indonesië een rol spelen, worden 1244 titels gerangschikt. Deze oorspronkelijk Nederlandstalige titels verschenen tussen 1825 en 1991. Van elke titel is een volledige bibliografische beschrijving op genomen, aangevuld met gegevens over eventuele herdrukken en vindplaatsen. Van elke uitgave wordt tevens een samenvatting gegeven, waarin ook informatie is opgenomen over plaats, streek of land waar het verhaal is gestitueerd en onder welke bevolkingsgroep (Indonesisch, Indo-Europees, Nederlands) en sociale klasse het zich afspeelt. Registers op auteurs, illustratoren, uitgevers, titels en onderwerpen ontsluiten de bibliografie en de annotaties. Een inleiding verantwoordt de werkwijze en signaleert een aantal grote lijnen in de Indische jeugdliteratuur. Deze unieke bibliografie is het resultaat van vele jaren speur-en verzamelwerk van Dorotheé Buur (1938) die als documentaliste/archiviste is verbonden aan de afdeling Documentatie Geschiedenis Indonesië van het KITLV. Haar bibliografie maakt een onbekend en onderschat genre lectuur en literatuur toegankelijk, waarin geschiedenis en actualiteit, alsook opvattingen, mentaliteit en vooroordeel alle hun weerslag vinden. Deze bibliografie is in zijn indrukwekkende omvang en diepgang een onontbeerlijk hulpmiddel bij de studie van de Indische jeugdliteratuur met al de daarin vervatte feiten en meningen, voor geïnteresseerden uit historisch, sociologisch en literair oogpunt.

Dalits in India : Religion as a Source of Bondage or Liberation with Special Reference to Christians /
:
The present work studies the subject of religion as a source of bondage or liberation with special reference to the casteless Christians. It deals with the Dalits in India in general, the history of their problems, and the basic question of their identity. The discussion of their history also includes the role of religion and how far it has acted as an agent of bondage or liberation for the Dalits. The religions which are referred to in this work are Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Lingayatism (Veerasaivism), Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Zoroastrianism and Baha'i religion. This work discusses in detail the role of Hindu religion with special reference to the caste system. Besides Hindu religion, detailed references are made to Christian religion or faith with emphasis on casteless Christians. Christian Dalits are casteless because they belong to a community who in their pre-Dalit state were casteless and classless people. Also Christians are supposed to be casteless, because Christian religion is considered to be above caste or class.

Serving India : A Political Biography of Subimal Dutt (1903-1992), India's Longest Serving Foreign Secretary /
:
This is the first academic biography of Subimal Dutt, best known as India's longest serving Foreign Secretary, covering the nearly nine eventful decades of his life. It tells the story how a Bengali village boy without any connections had one of the most distinguished careers of his generation without ever forgetting his roots. Struggling all his life between professional ambition and deep spirituality, Dutt never transformed into one of those 'brown Englishmen' so typical of South Asia's civil servants, but remained a strictly impartial, straightforward and incorruptible officer of - as he formulated it himself - the 'vernacular type'. Intellect and discipline brought him into the Indian Civil Service and soon to Delhi, where he excelled as an outstanding administrator and moved into the field of foreign relations. After an interlude as Indian Agent in Malaya, as Bengal's Secretary for Agriculture he held a most important posting during the Second World War. Working closely with Nehru in his capacity as Commonwealth and later Foreign Secretary for over twelve years, he became one of the most influential advisors of India's first Prime Minister. His career seemed to come to an end as Secretary to the President and later Vigilance Commissioner, but in 1972 he was appointed India's first High Commissioner to Bangladesh, building bridges between the country of his birth and the one he had chosen in 1947. Though Dutt made it a point to be nearly invisible throughout his career, thereafter he did everything possible to be rediscovered posthumously.

The Coins of India : The Mughal Emperors. Part VIII (M8): The Coins in the Name of Jahangir Shah Including the Pre-Accession Coinage of Azim-ush Shan /
:
This is the second book in our series of publications on the Coins of India. Like the earlier volume this work also presents a generational change in the method of recording, illustrating and presenting numismatic data on the coins. In the first book only the silver coins of Shah Alam I Bahadur were included but in this volume on Jahandar Shah, his coins in all three metals - gold, silver and copper have been included. Pre-accession coinage of Azimush-Shan, who lost out the battle for succession to Jahandar Shah is also included in the book. The legends on the coins and couplets have been illustrated in full colour coding. The separate sections of the coin inscriptions are clearly defined and colour coded by illustrating the individual coins - both obverse and reverse. This makes learning and understanding the calligraphic inscriptions on the coins very simple. Short histories of all the emperors and other coin issuers have been included. In this work more mint maps have been provided than in the previous volume. Changes in types and styles of the coins have been recorded carefully. The knowledge of the secrets held in these inscriptions, i.e. dates, mint, ruler's name, etc., is unlocked for all and is very easy to follow. The volume will be of immense help to coin collectors, dealers, researchers, scholars, students of numismatics and South Asian History.

VOC : A Bibliography of Publications Relating to the Dutch East India Company, 1602-1800 /
:
At the height of its power and influence in the seventeenth and eighteenth century the VOC - acronym for the United Netherland East India Company - was the greatest commercial concern in the world. The scope of its activities extended from the Cape of Good Hope to Japan. In some aspects, the Baltic trade and the North Sea fisheries were of more fundamental relevance for the economy of the Lowlands. But it was the more spectacular East Indian trade which aroused the admiration and the envy of foreigners, sometimes to the point of war. In this bibliography several topics are covered. Not only technical matters such as the legal status of the VOC, its management, directors and shareholders, but also subjects as voyages, battles, ship building, navigation, geography, natural history, ethnography, mission work, ministration, and many others. With 1674 entries, fully described and fully indexed.

:
Gutenberg's invention of the printing press in the fifteenth century marked the beginning of a new era in the transmission of knowledge, the spread of ideologies, and the administration of peoples. Even if the Mughal emperor Jahāngīr (d. 1627), when presented with a printed copy of the Gospels, expressed his interest in exploring the possibilities for the printing of texts in nastaʿlīq in movable type, it would take another two hunderd years before the people of the Indian subcontinent started printing themselves. In the 1820's, when Indians began using western printing techniques to reproduce texts in local languages, they preferred lithographs over movable type. The former required less technology, were typographically superior, and also closer to the traditional reading experience. Movable type came only later. The printing of Persian texts had its heyday between the 1820's and 1850's. The present inventory shows the immense richness of two centuries of Persian printing on the Indian subcontinent. 4 vols; volume 3.

Warfare in Ancient India : Organisational and Operational Dimensions /
:
The military history of ancient India has not attracted the attention of scholars in sufficient measure. Naturally, not many good books are available on the subject. Consequently, Indians know little about the military system followed by their ancestors. A serious effort is, therefore, needed to analyse and interpret the source material which lies scattered in ancient Indian literature, including scriptures and archaeological remains including inscriptions and coins, to produce a tangible thesis on the subject. This book is an humble effort in that direction. The book tries to present a complete picture of Indian military system from the earliest times. The topics covered include military organization, conduct of war, strategical and tactical concepts, weapons and armour, fortification, education and training and ceremonials. Some ancillary aspects related to war such as defence production, logistics, intelligence, medical services, engineering, signals, etc., have also been covered. The study is based on historical data. The myths and legends if not supported by historical evidence has been ignored. Each chapter is a complete study and is intended to generate a new thinking on the subject among lay readers and scholars alike.
