Download or read book In the Shadow of the Taj written by Royina Grewal and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Asked A Young Man In A Ghetto In Agra If He Had Ever Seen The Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal? He Said. I Haven T Seen It, But Yes, I Have Heard Of It. It Is In Delhi. Agra Has More Than Mere Mention In The Hindu Scriptures. And The City S Position Of Strategic Importance Astride Important Trade Routes Historically Attracted Empire-Builders Ranging From The Lodhis And The Mughals To The British. Now, Says Royina Grewal, Agra Has Fallen Prey To A Lassitude That Has Caused Large Swathes Of The Once Magnificent Capital Of Emperors Akbar, Jahangir And Shah Jahan To Succumb To Decay And Haphazard Development. Delving Into Myth And History, Drawing Deep Conclusions From Her Lengthy Conversations With Varied Citizens Of Multi-Cultural Agra, Grewal Weaves Grand Strands From The Past With The Humbler Textures Of Present-Day Agra To Explain Why The Home Of The World S Best-Known Monument Has Been Allowed To Disintegrate, And Why The Once Mighty Yamuna Is Merely A Stream Of Sludge. But There Is Hope, Says Grewal. Drawing Inspiration From The Many Enlightened Individuals She Met On Her Peregrinations In And Around Agra, She Points To Ways In Which The City Can Be Saved. In The Shadow Of The Taj May Be A Map Of The City S History, But It Can Also Be A Drawing Board That Offers Insights For A Sustainable Future.
Download or read book Taj Mahal written by Giles Tillotson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enduring monument of haunting beauty, the Taj Mahal seems a symbol of stability itself. The familiar view of the glowing marble mausoleum from the gateway entrance offers the very picture of permanence. And yet this extraordinary edifice presents a shifting image to observers across time and cultures. The meaning of the Taj Mahal, the perceptions and responses it prompts, ideas about the building and the history that shape them: these form the subject of Giles Tillotson’s book. More than a richly illustrated history—though it is that as well—this book is an eloquent meditation on the place of the Taj Mahal in the cultural imagination of India and the wider world. Since its completion in 1648, the mausoleum commissioned by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, has come to symbolize many things: the undying love of a man for his wife, the perfection of Mughal architecture, the ideal synthesis of various strands of subcontinental aesthetics, even an icon of modern India itself. Exploring different perspectives brought to the magnificent structure—by a Mughal court poet, an English Romantic traveler, a colonial administrator, an architectural historian, or a contemporary Bollywood filmmaker—this book is an incomparable guide through the varied and changing ideas inspired by the Taj Mahal, from its construction to our day. In Tillotson’s expert hands, the story of a seventeenth-century structure in the city of Agra reveals itself as a story about our own place and time.
