The Indo-Asian Culture July 1952

1952

The first great landmark in the history of Ceylon after the Indian colonisation is the introduction of Buddhism during the reign of the great Moka about the middle of the third century B. C. i.e. [...] The rich variety of the exhibits is due to the contributions made by the State Archaoological Department the State Museum the Salar Jung Art Collection the Hyderabad Art Society the State and other Libraries the Central School of Arts and Crafts the Records Office the Osmania University etc. [...] To these economic causes must be added a political factor— the political unrest and confusion in Western India and Gujarat due to the discomfiture of the Sakas and the White Huns as the result of the conquests of the Gupta Emperors and of Yagodharman the advance of the Sassanians and Turks from the north and the later conquests of Prabhäkarävardhana and Harsha. [...] as the result of the migration of the Brahman Kaundinya or the Kshatriya Adityavarnb king of Indraprastha who married the daughter of the local Naga king Soma and established the royal Somavarub in the land. [...] There is the Puranic legend of the sage Agastya drinking up the waters of the ocean in order to protect the coastal peoples of South India against the attacks of the Rakshasas denizens of lands under the sea who harried the coastal villages by stealthily arriving in the night by ship.
