(a) “The most important idea in Jainism is that the entire world is
animated : even stones, rocks and water have life. Non-injury to
living beings, especially to humans, animals, plants and insects is
central to Jaina philosophy. In fact the principle of ahimsa,
emphasized within Jainism, has left its mark on Indian thinking as a
whole. According to Jaina teachings, the cycle of birth and rebirth is
shaped through karma. Asceticism and penance are required to free
oneself from the cycle of karma. This can be achieved only by
renouncing the world ; therefore, monastic existence is a necessary
condition of salvation. Jaina monks and nuns took five vows: to
abstain from killing , stealing and lying, to observe celibacy ; and to
abstain from possessing property.”

(b) “By the first century CE, there is evidence of changes in Buddhist
ideas and practices. Early Buddhist teachings have given importance
to self-effort in achieving nibbana. Besides, the Buddha was regarded
as a human being who attained enlightenment and nibbana through
his own efforts. However, gradually the idea of a savior emerged. It
was believed that he was one of who could ensure salvation.
Simultaneously, the concept of Bodhisatta also developed.
Bodhisattas were perceived as deeply compassionate beings who
accumulated merit through their efforts but used this not to attain
nibbana and thereby abandon the world, but to help others. The
worship of the images of the Buddha and Bodhisattas became an
important part of this tradition”

(c) “Krishnadeva Raya‘s rule was characterized by expansion and
consolidation. This was the time when the land between the
Tungabhadra and the Krishna rivers (the Raichur doab) was
acquired (1512), the rulers of Orissa were subdued (1514) and severe
defeats were inflicted on the Sultan of Bijapur (1520). Although the
kingdom remained in a constant state of military preparedness, it
flourished under conditions of unparalleled peace and prosperity.
Krishnadeva Raya is credited with building some fine temples and
adding impressive gopurams to many important south Indian
temples. He also founded a suburban township near Vijaynagara
called Nagalapuram after his mother. Some of the most detailed
descriptions of Vijaynagara came from his time or just after.”

(d) “Temple building in the region had a long history going back to
dynasties such as the Pallavas, Chalukyas, Hoyasalas and Cholas.
Rulers very often encouraged temple building as a means of
associating themselves with the divine – often the deity was
explicitly or implicitly identified with the king. Temples also
functioned as centres of learning. Besides, rulers and others often
granted land and other resources for the maintenance of temples.
Consequently, temples developed as significant religious, social,

cultural and economic centres. From the point of view of the rulers,
constructing, repairing and maintaining temples were important
means of winning support and recognition for their power, wealth
and property.”

colonial India. As the premier port on the western coast it was
the centre of international trade. By the end of the nineteenth
century, half the imports and exports of India passed through
Bombay. One important item of this trade was opium that the
East India Company exported to China. Indian merchants and
middlemen supplied and participated in this trade and they
helped integrate Bombay's economy directly to Malwa,
Rajasthan and Sind where opium was grown. This collaboration
with the Company was profitable and led to the growth of an
Indian capitalist class. Bombay's capitalists came from diverse
communities such as Parsi, Marwari, Konkani Muslim, Gujrati
Bania, Bohra, Jew and Armenian.”

(f) “From the mid eighteenth century, there was a new phase of change.
Commercial centres such as Surat, Masulipatanam and Dhaka, which
had grown in the seventeenth century, declined when trade shifted
to other places. As the British gradually acquired political control
after the Battle of Plassey in 1757, and the trade of the English East
India Company expanded, colonial port cities such as Madras,
Calcutta and Bombay rapidly emerged as the new economic capitals.
They also became centres of colonial administration and military
power. New buildings and institutions developed, and urban spaces
were ordered in new ways. New occupations developed and people

flocked to these colonial cities. By about 1800, they were the biggest

cities in India in terms of population.”
