ASCENT
In September 1948, K. S. Ramachandran was on a train to Madras, anxious about his uncertain future. After securing a BSc. Honours degree in Physics, he had obtained a first-class certificate in wireless technology in Mumbai with the intention of pursuing a science-based career. But when his instructor refused to give him a letter of recommendation, he knew he could not become an aircraft navigator. At his father’s behest, Ramachandran wrote the competitive exam for the Indian Administrative Service. Which is how, just one year after his despondent return, Ramachandran found himself among 30 finalists chosen from an applicant pool of over 7,000 – for one of the country’s most elite cadr...

Archaeology of Early Buddhism
How do archaeologists explore the various dimensions of religion? Lars Fogelin uses archaeological work at Thotlakonda in Southern India as his lens in a broader examination of Buddhist monastic life. He discovers the tension between the desired isolation of the monastery and the mutual engagement with neighbors in the Early Historic Period. He also sketches how religious architectural design and use of landscape helped to shaped these relationships. Drawing on historical accounts, religious documents, and inscriptions, as well as results of his systematic archaeological survey, Fogelin is able to shed new light on the ritual and material workings of Early Buddhism in this region, and shows how archaeology can contribute to our understanding of religious practice.

It highlights the multiple roles played by women as patrons, practitioners, lay and monastic members, etc. within Buddhism. The volume also investigates the individual experiences of the members, and their equations and relationships at different levels—with the Samgha at large, with their own ...
