Pandit Srinivasa Narayana Iyengar: A pioneer who revived Ayurveda in the Tamil region and advocated for the combined recognition of Ayurveda and Siddha

Abstract The study explores the life and multifaceted contributions of Pandit Srinivasa Narayana Iyengar, a key figure in the revival movement of Ayurveda during Colonial India. Iyengar dedicated his life to the practice of Ayurveda, emphasizing charitable services and contributing to the propagation of Ayurvedic principles. The monthly Ayurvedic medical journal, Vaidya Chandrika, initiated by him, helped in fostering communication between Sanskrit and Tamil-speaking physicians. Other noteworthy endeavors include establishing dispensaries, raw drug stores, and pharmacies for manufacturing medicines. In addition to his active involvement in sociopolitical spheres, Iyengar resisted Western medical dominance, opposing the linguistic and regional divisions within Ayurveda and Siddha. His principles emphasized scientific thinking, observation, and public awareness for the revival of Ayurveda. This article aims to shed light on the invaluable contributions of Pandit S. Narayana Iyengar in professionalizing Ayurvedic practice and encouraging an integrated medical system in Tamil Nadu during a crucial period in history.

High-Redshift Radio Galaxies

Radio galaxies are unique cosmological probes. As with radio-loud quasars, the presence of luminous radio continuum and optical line emission enable radio galaxies to be observed and recognized at large distances, up to z = 4.2. However, unlike the situation for most quasars, their optical emission can be spatially resolved from the ground and studied in detail.Progress in detecting distant radio galaxies has been rapid in recent years due to the use of CCDs and the exploitation of new selection criteria. Now, more than 60 radio galaxies are known with z > 2. More than half of these have been found by our group by concentrating on radio sources with the steepest spectra, most of these in a “Key Programme” of the European Southern Observatory. Although several people contributed to this Key Programme, most of the work was done by Huub Röttgering, who presented his Ph.D thesis in January and Rob van Ojik, who succeededhim. Redshifts of 1.5 to 4 correspond to a time when the Universe was 10% -20% of its present age. This was a crucial period in history when galaxy formation must have been rampant. It corresponds to the AGN era, a two-billion year “delta function” in the population evolution of luminous quasars and radio galaxies, when their space-density rose to a value several hundred times larger than the present density before the species mysteriously and suddenly became almost extinct.

Wilhelm II and the Germans: a study in leadership

This striking biography of Kaiser Wilhelm II is the most penetrating study to date of his development and personality, as well as an important contribution to our understanding of the crucial period in history that bears his name, 'Wilhelmine Germany'. A skilful, psychoanalytically informed analysis of the Kaiser's character, the book shows how the powerful leader of Germany's 'Second Reich' became the slave of public opinion - restless, impulsive, and easily swayed by flattery or by those with stronger wills. It reveals a man both anxiously insecure and brashly arrogant, flamboyant and confident in public, yet vacillating and ineffective in his political decisions. Despite his political ineptitude, however, Wilhelm II was one of the most successful and beloved symbolic leaders of modern times. Professor Kohut argues that, in this nationalistic age, the new German nation wanted to see itself as it saw its Kaiser - strong, self-assured, and surrounded by pomp and splendour.

The Spanish Ulcer: A History of the Peninsular War

The Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal was most bitterly fought contest of nineteenth-century Europe. From 1808 to 1814, Spanish regulars and guerrillas, along with British forces led by Sir John Moore and duke of Wellington, battled Napoleon's troops across length and breadth of Iberian Peninsula. Napoleon considered war so insignificant that he rarely bothered to bring to it his military genius, relying instead on his marshals and simultaneously launching his disastrous Russian campaign of 1812. Yet Peninsular War was to end with total defeat for French, and in 1813 Wellington's army crossed Pyrenees into mainland France. What Napoleon had called the Spanish ulcer ultimately helped bring down French empire. Michael Howard of Oxford University hailed this book as major achievement...the first brief and balanced account of war to have appeared within our generation. Illustrated with over a hundred maps and fifty contemporary drawings and paintings, this is a richly detailed history of a crucial period in history that resonates powerfully to this day--and figures prominently in Bernard Cornwell's internationally acclaimed novels of Napoleonic era.
