HUM SAB AYODHYA Rs 1000

This exhibition, presented by Sahmat, explores the multi-faceted life of the

people of Ayodhya in the context of the geographical, historical, social and

cultural evolution of the town. Like any other city in India, Ayodhya has a

complex history, multiple religious associations, a variety of economic

activities and a rich cultural tradition. Often called a 'religious town' due to
its connection with several religions and religious sects, and their leaders -
Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Guru Nanak, Chiragh-i-Delhi among others, its
inhabitants have led an active material life, engaged in agriculture, petty

commodity production and trade. Culturally, Ayodhya has been a symbol of

the plural and composite traditions of India, and has inspired creativity in
music, literature and theatre. Historically a flourishing town and capital of
important kingdoms, it was politically active against British colonial domina
tion during the 1857 Revolt as well as in the national liberation struggle.

Post-Mauryan India (200 BCAD 300), a Political and Economic History, as part of the

People's History of India series, deals with the five hundred years that, in the political
sphere, are associated with the dominance of Indo-Greeks, Sakas, Kushans and

Satavahanas. The volume also offers a detailed survey of the economy of period, which
saw important changes, in craft production as well as overseas trade. (The changes in the

caste system and cultural life during this long period will be treated in a separate volume.)
A special feature of the present volume is that the information contained is based on fully
updated material. As with other volumes of the series, translations of select inscriptions
and extracts from texts are appended to each chapter. There are special notes (by way of

technical aids) on the Puranas, the Shangam texts and Kushan chronology; and on

Numismatics and elementary concepts of Economics. In addition, there are seven maps
and twenty-four illustrations, being mainly reproduction of coins and sculpture. The book
should be of use to both the general reader and the student, in that it cover topics that a

people's history should especially deal with, namely, the factors affecting lives of
ordinary people, and also those that history textbooks are normally concerned with.

Irfan Habib, Professor Emeritus at Aligarh Muslim University, is author of The Agrarian
System ofMughal India, 15561707 (1963; 1999), An Atlas of the Mughal Empire (1982),
Essays in India: Towards a Marxist Perception (1995), Medieval India (2007), Economic
History of Medieval India, 12001500 (with collaborators) (2011), Atlas of Ancient
Indian History (with Faiz Habib) (2012). He is General Editor of the People's History of
India series, and has authored six volumes and co-authored two volumes in the series. He

has co-edited The Cambridge Economic History of India, Vol. I (1982), UNESCO's History
of Humanity, Vols 4 and 5, and UNESCO's History of Central Asia, Vol. 5.
