Abstract

This is a translation of a 12th-century Sanskrit legal text, with the original text. The Dayabhaga was one of the most important texts in the history of Indian law. The text, fairly late and inspiring little attention, is important because the British elevated it to such prominence in their new colony in the early 19th century. It was known as the authority on inheritance and significant aspects of family law for the eastern Indian region. The case law and scholarship that surround this text have shaped Indian personal law right up to the present day.

Abstract

A distinctive feature of nation-building in modern India has been the paradoxical persistence and growth of regional linguistic-based cultural identities. The appearance of regional languages on Rupee currency notes, the present provincial boundaries of India, and the rising strength of regional political parties manifest the importance of these regional identities to defining the national culture of India. Telugu Resurgence examines the origins and formation of a regional identity which ultimately gave birth to Andhra Pradesh, the first linguistic state formed in India after independence.
