We publish the following document by Dr. Ratan Basu as a jewel worth preserving to have a clearer vision of the history of India and how the social, political and economic forms developed. Based on the ancient Indian traditions of the indigenous sources of the story that are scattered in the Vedas, Puranas, the epics -Rāmāyana and Mahābhārata-, Buddhist texts, Jains and rock excavations and inscriptions as sources of information, it broadens the focus of his research since when it comes to chronological history - as we generally understand by the term "history" - the ancient Indian texts hardly provide a coherent idea. That is why it includes in this document foreign authors from Escílax de Carianda through Greek, Chinese, Christian authors up to the beginning of the 20th century. This systematic and in-depth investigation is essential to understand the origins and sources of the first manuscript found of the Pancha Tantra dated at the dawn of the 11th century, which give a complete account of the society, economy and politics of ancient India so that scholars in tantric philosophy they can establish with greater precision and scientific rigor the category "tantrism" as a source of the emancipatory movements that culminated in the constitution of 1949 and article 15 motorized among others by B.R. Ambedkar.

Economía política de la antigua India
Publicamos el siguiente documento del Dr. Ratan Basu como una joya digna de preservarse para tener una visión más clara de la historia de la India y cómo fueron desarrollándose las formas sociales, políticas y económicas. Basado en las tradiciones indias antiguas de las fuentes autóctonas de la historia que se encuentran dispersas en los Vedas, Puranas, las epopeyas -Rāmāyana y Mahābhārata-, textos budistas, jainistas y las excavaciones e inscripciones rupestres como fuentes de información, amplía el foco de su investigación ya que en lo que respecta a la historia cronológica -como generalmente entendemos por el término "historia"-, los textos indios antiguos apenas brindan una idea coherente. Es por eso que incluye en este documento autores extranjeros desde Escílax de Carianda pasando por autores griegos, chinos, cristianos hasta principios del siglo XX. Es fundamental esta investigación sistemática y profunda, para comprender los orígenes y las fuentes del primer manuscrito hallado del Pancha Tantra datado en los albores del siglo XI que dan cuenta acabada de la sociedad, la economía y la política de la antigua India para que los eruditos en filosofía tántrica puedan establecer con mayor precisión y rigor científico la categoría “tantrismo” como fuente de los movimientos emancipadores que culminaron con la constitución del 1949 y el artículo 15 motorizados entre otros por B.R. Ambedkar.
