Excerpt: ...as that animal is said to be sure footed in snow, but experience shows that with European riders they can both flounder and fall. At a frozen lake, the Suraj Dall, it will be best perhaps to get into a di/H. After that several m. of snow fields are traversed, and the snow becomes softer On account of the high altitude, it will be desirable to push on 8 m. beyond the usual stage from Topo Yomak to Topo Komo. The Bhagha river is left before reaching the former place, its source being on the other side of the Bara Lacha, and the course again lies along the Chandra. It must be observed that the Spiti route or road turns shortoff from the Bara Lacha Pass, downwards. The traveller must have a guide here among his village men, for otherwise on the rounded hummocks at the top of this long Pass he will not distinguish the road, and to lose it would, at least, cause him great fatigue. The road in this stage is only a track, sometimes along the river, sometimes higher up over rocks, which here strew the ground. It is impossible to ride, and the elevation is too great for walking, but the Kulis will carry one well. The country from the Bard Lacha Pass is a succession of high barren rocks, towering up into the snows without vegetation or animal life, grand and desolate to the last degree. There are no villages, and the ravines are filled with glaciers. The stage from Topo Komo to Chandra Dall, the next encamping ground, about 10 m., is merely a path 6 in. wide, along the sides of sloping shale cliffs which give way under one's feet. Below at several hundred feet runs the Chandra river; here neither ponies nor men can carry one, and there is nothing for it but to walk oneself, and be supported by the villagers who carry ', the loads. Here a rope would...

Download or read book Women Mystics and Sufi Shrines in India written by Kelly Pemberton and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insightful field research into the complexity of women's roles in a subset of Islamic culture. Women Mystics and Sufi Shrines in India combines historical data with years of ethnographic fieldwork to investigate women's participation in the culture of Sufi shrines in India and the manner in which this participation both complicates and sustains traditional conceptions of Islamic womanhood. Kelly Pemberton grounds her firsthand research into India's Sufi shrines and saints by setting her observations against the historical backdrop of colonial-era discourses by British civil servants, Orientalist scholars, and Muslim reformists and the assumptive portrayals of women's activities in the milieu of Sufi orders and shrines inherent in these accounts. These early narratives, Pemberton holds, are driven by social, economic, intellectual, and political undercurrents of self-interest that shaped Western understanding of Indian Muslims and, in particular, of women's participation in the institutions of Sufism. Pemberton's research offers a corrective by assessing the contemporary circumstances under which a woman may be recognized as a spiritual authority or guide—despite official denial of such status—and by examining the discrepancies between the commonly held belief that women cannot perform in the public setting of shrines and her own observations of women doing precisely that. She demonstrates that the existence of multiple models of master and disciple relationships have opened avenues for women to be recognized as spiritual authorities in their own right. Specifically Pemberton explores the work of performance, recitation, and ritual mediation carried out by women connected with Sufi orders through kinship and spiritual ties, and she maps shifting ideas about women's involvement in public ritual events in a variety of contexts, circumstances, and genres of performance. She also highlights the private petitioning of saints, the Prophet, and God performed by poor women of low social standing in Bihar Sharif. These women are often perceived as being exceptionally close to God yet are compelled to operate outside the public sphere of major shrines. Throughout this groundbreaking study, Pemberton sets observed practices of lived religious experiences against the boundaries established by prescriptive behavioral models of Islam to illustrate how the varied reasons given for why women cannot become spiritual masters conflict with the need in Sufi circles for them to do exactly that. Thus this work also invites further inquiry into the ambiguities to be found in Islam's foundational framework for belief and practice.
