Sinossi

In the dim dawn of history our island was a land of wood and marsh, broken here and there by patches of open ground, and pierced by occasional track-ways, which threaded the forest and circled round the edges of the impassable fen. The inhabited districts of the country were not the fertile river-bottoms where population grew thick in after-days; these were in primitive times nothing but sedgy water-meadows or matted thickets. Men dwelt rather on the thinly wooded upland, where, if the soil was poor, it was at any rate free from the tangled undergrowth that covered the valleys. It was on the chalk ridges of Kent or Wilts, or the moorland hills of Yorkshire or Cornwall, rather than on the brink of the Thames or Severn, that the British tribes clustered thick. Down by the rivers there were but small settlements of hunters and fishers perched on some knoll that rose above the brake and the rushes.

    Since ancient times, the Hindus have had a lunisolar cycle based on the combination of solar and lunar years, determined by the course of the sun and the moon, but with the lunar year beginning near the solar year. Exactly how their earliest Calendar was arranged remains a mystery. Our focus is on the current form of their Calendar, developed around 400 under the influence of Greek astronomy and introduced into India at no long time. 
    There are two kinds of Hindu years, solar and lunar.  
    To understand the lunar Calendar, we will first explain the solar year, which governs the lunisolar system. Bengal, including Madras's Orissa, Tamil, and Malayalam districts, used solar years for civil purposes. General religious rites and festivals are regulated by the lunar year and the details of private and domestic life, such as choosing auspicious occasions for marriages and journeys, choosing lucky moments for shaving, etc. Almanacs that follow the lunar year contain details about the solar year, such as the sun's course through the zodiac signs. Despite following the solar year, almanacs include lunar year details.

    The story of the Inca Empire begins with a mix of myth and history, deeply rooted in the Andean highlands of South America. According to Inca legend, the empire’s origins trace back to the Sun God, Inti, who sent his son, Manco Cápac, to establish a kingdom on Earth. Manco Cápac and his sister-wife Mama Ocllo emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca, tasked with finding the place where the sun would set forever. Guided by this divine mission, they journeyed through the Andes, eventually founding the city of Cusco, which would become the heart of the Inca Empire. This mythic narrative blended with historical elements, shaping the early identity of the Incas as a people divinely chosen and destined for greatness. 
    The rise of the Inca Empire began in earnest during the 12th century, but it wasn’t until the 15th century that the Inca began their ambitious expansion under the leadership of Pachacuti. Before this period, the Inca were a small ethnic group living in the valley of Cusco, a modest settlement by the standards of the Andean world. The powerful Wari and Tiwanaku civilizations had already left their marks on the region, and other neighboring cultures, such as the Chanka and the Nazca, vied for dominance in the highlands. However, it was the strategic leadership and military genius of the early Inca rulers that laid the foundation for what would become the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. 
    Manco Cápac, the first Sapa Inca (the title for the emperor), established the social and political framework that would support future conquests. He was followed by a line of rulers who solidified Cusco’s position as the seat of power, but it wasn’t until Pachacuti’s reign that the Inca’s ambitions expanded beyond their small kingdom. Under Pachacuti’s rule, the Inca adopted a highly organized and disciplined military structure, which allowed them to conquer surrounding territories and absorb them into their growing empire.

    "Political Ideals" is a thought-provoking book by Bertrand Russell, in which he explores the nature of political beliefs and the ideals that drive them. Drawing on his vast knowledge of history, philosophy, and politics, Russell argues that political ideals are not static, but evolve over time as societies change and new challenges arise. Throughout the book, Russell provides a compelling analysis of political ideology and the challenges facing modern societies. He challenges readers to think deeply about their own political beliefs and to strive for a society that is both just and compassionate. Read in English, unabridged.
