This volume is a composite textbook for undergraduate students, designed to suit the requirements of second year students enrolled for Semesters III and IV of the B.A., B.Sc., B.Com. and B.C.A. courses at the University of Jammu. It is a collection of a wide variety of literary texts including essays, poems, and short stories which are drawn from different social and cultural contexts. The writers featured here include Joseph Addison, William Blake, George Bernard Shaw, Mulk Raj Anand, and R.K. Laxman. This textbook also caters to the language needs of students by allowing them to develop and enhance their linguistic and grammatical skills, whilst improving their reading, writing and speaking skills.
A Textbook of Medieval Indian History studies aspects of the political history of medieval India and explores the socio-economic changes, administrative innovations, and cultural ferments during this period, with special reference to literature, religion and art and architecture. This handsomely illustrated textbook covers Indian history from the eighth to eighteenth century and analyses the development of Indian society and culture that led to the medieval mindset and in doing so locates the historiographical debates surrounding such an analysis.
