Download or read book Salt of the Earth written by Kalindi Charan Panigrahi and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kalindi Charan Panigrahi was a notable poet and writer in Odia. He is credited for the short but influential movement in Odia literature called the Sabuja Yug which was the age of Romanticism, inspired by Tagore's writings. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1971. Matira Manisha is his most well-known work. It has been translated into English twice before. Mrinal Sen made a film on this book and it received the National Film Award for Best Odia film in 1967. The novel is, quite simply, the tale of two brothers, who have very different attitudes towards the land they inherit from their father. It talks about the breaking apart of the joint family and celebrates a Marxist and Gandhian approach to living.
Download or read book Basanti written by Annada Shankar Ray and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basanti is a misfit in conservative, pre-independence rural Odisha. Not only does she read and write, all her choices—from marrying for love to dispensing medicines to the poor and running a girls’ school—are unconventional. Her emancipatory aspirations evoke strong reactions from her surroundings, even surprisingly from her husband, who is supposedly passionate about women’s freedom. In this collaborative novel, nine young authors narrate the journey of a liberated woman who questions the socially ordained roles of women and argues for change, especially through education. The authors, six men and three women, belonged to the ‘Sabuja Age’ in Odia literature, a short-lived, creative period of ten to fifteen years. Serialized in Utkala Sahitya between May 1924 and November 1926 and published as a book in 1931, with a revised version appearing in 1968, Basanti is the first fictional declaration of the independence of the Odia woman.
Download or read book Health and Medicine in the Indian Princely States written by Waltraud Ernst and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s there has been a continual engagement with the history and the place of western medicine in colonial settings and non-western societies. In relation to South Asia, research on the role of medicine has focussed primarily on regions under direct British administration. This book looks at the ‘princely states’ that made up about two fifths of the subcontinent. Two comparatively large states, Mysore and Travancore – usually considered as ‘progressive’ and ‘enlightened’ – and some of the princely states of Orissa – often described as ‘backward’ and ‘despotic’ – have been selected for analysis. The authors map developments in public health and psychiatry, the emergence of specialised medical institutions, the influence of western medicine on indigenous medical communities and their patients and the interaction between them. Exploring contentious issues currently debated in the existing scholarship on medicine in British India and other colonies, this book covers the ‘indigenisation’ of health services; the inter-relationship of colonial and indigenous paradigms of medical practice; the impact of specific political and administrative events and changes on health policies. The book also analyses British medical policies and the Indian reactions and initiatives they evoked in different Indian states. It offers new insights into the interplay of local adaptations with global exchanges between different national schools of thought in the formation of what is often vaguely, and all too simply, referred to as 'western' or 'colonial' medicine. A pioneering study of health and medicine in the princely states of India, it provides a balanced appraisal of the role of medicine during the colonial era. It will be of interest to students and academics studying South Asian and imperial and commonwealth history; the history of medicine; the sociology of health and healing; and medical anthropology, social policy, public health, and international politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1600s, a brutal massacre on an island off the coast of New England leaves only one survivor: Sarah. Wounded and alone in the carnage, she fights to stay alive as she waits for her rescuers. Each night, she returns to a group of boulders along a path to the beach and listens to scavengers feed. That path is where she finally dies, but her spirit lingers on. For more than three centuries, Sarahs ghost waits in the rocks for someone to save her. Most walk her path safely, but if they harbor dark emotionsanger, regret, hopelessness, or griefshe awakens. Sarahs spirit does not carry ill intent, but her presence magnifies the darkness in anyone she touches, producing rage, violence, suicide, or madness. Few manage to escape. Three groups in particular encounter Sarahs ghost: a whaling family in the 1800s, a young boy in the 1940s, and an elderly man in the present day. Each of them wants something, each has something to learn, and each could save Sarah, but the price is high. If her ghost is ever to find peace and resolution, then someone has to risk everything for her sake.
