This volume advocates a trans-regional, and maritime-focused, approach to studying the genesis, development and circulation of Esoteric (or Tantric) Buddhism across Maritime Asia from the seventh to the thirteenth centuries ce. The book lays emphasis on the mobile networks of human agents (‘Masters’), textual sources (‘Texts’) and images (‘Icons’) through which Esoteric Buddhist traditions spread. Capitalising on recent research and making use of both disciplinary and area-focused perspectives, this book highlights the role played by Esoteric Buddhist maritime networks in shaping intra-Asian connectivity. In doing so, it reveals the limits of a historiography that is premised on land-based transmission of Buddhism from a South Asian ‘homeland’, and advances an alternative historical narrative that overturns the popular perception regarding Southeast Asia as a ‘periphery’ that passively received overseas influences. Thus, a strong point is made for the appreciation of the region as both a crossroads and rightful terminus of Buddhist cults, and for the re-evaluation of the creative and transformative force of Southeast Asian agents in the transmission of Esoteric Buddhism across mediaeval Asia.

This book takes stock of the results of some two decades of intensive archaeological research carried out on both sides of the Bay of Bengal, in combination with renewed approaches to textual sources and to art history. To improve our understanding of the trans-cultural process commonly referred to as Indianisation, it brings together specialists of both India and Southeast Asia, in a fertile inter-disciplinary confrontation. Most of the essays reappraise the millennium-long historiographic no-man's land during which exchanges between the two shores of the Bay of Bengal led, among other processes, to the Indianisation of those parts of the region that straddled the main routes of exchange. Some essays follow up these processes into better known "classical" times or even into modern times, showing that the localisation process of Indian themes has long remained at work, allowing local societies to produce their own social space and express their own ethos.

In the course of about a generation of experience of planningin India, development strategies pursued at the National or State level have neither achieved growth with equity nor effectively succeded in tackling the problems of poverty and unemployment. In 1975, the State Planning Board of West Bengal adopted the strategy of 'Comprehensive Area Development' which was regarded as something of a 'break-through'. In the present book, Dr. Asok Kumar Maiti, who has long association with Rural Bengal and various social organisations and Development and Training Institues presents his field investigation carried out in early 1980 after the adoption of Comprehensive Area Development Strategy. The impact of measure adopted under teh scheme has been subjected to empirical tests with micro-level data. The major findings of the study underscore the growth of productive forces and changes in the relations of production with in the village community and also point out both the strength and weakness of the development Agency in the Area.
