Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Kankana Banerjee-The Journey of a Khayal Queen’ attempts to bring to the fore the life and contributions of one of India’s most acclaimed and foremost Classical vocalists Vidushi Kankana Banerjee. As a young girl of eleven, Kankana came under the tutelage of Ustad Amir Khan and learned from him for more than fifteen years. She was later trained by Pandit Pratap Narayan of the Mewati gharana. As a performing artist, she was particularly marked by experts for her cuckoo-like voice and soulful renditions that were built on the rudiments of the Indore style of singing and carried the ethos and marrow of her Ustad. Fame and recognition were sure to come, but not easily. Life had been unsparing at times. Her land of promises froze on several occasions, leaving her torn and devastated. But her unflagging determination kept her going. Despite all odds, she could establish herself as a singer of repute; a name to reckon with. Her sundry contributions as a performing artist, a Guru, and a composer would indubitably be of interest to arbiters of music, aesthetes, students and her devotees around the globe. This book not only gives one the opportunity to know Kankana only as a songstress of rare brilliance but also allows us to peep into the artist’s unostentatious life yet worthy of attention, from close proximity.

Download or read book Two Men and Music written by Janaki Bakhle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-20 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative account of the development of modern national culture in India using classical music as a case study. Janaki Bakhle demonstrates how the emergence of an "Indian" cultural tradition reflected colonial and exclusionary practices, particularly the exclusion of Muslims by the Brahmanic elite, which occurred despite the fact that Muslims were the major practiti oners of the Indian music that was installed as a "Hindu" national tradition. This book lays bare how a nation's imaginings--from politics to culture--reflect rather than transform societal divisions.

Download or read book Ashoka in Ancient India written by Nayanjot Lahiri and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the third century BCE, Ashoka ruled an empire encompassing much of modern-day India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. During his reign, Buddhism proliferated across the South Asian subcontinent, and future generations of Asians came to see him as the ideal Buddhist king. Disentangling the threads of Ashoka’s life from the knot of legend that surrounds it, Nayanjot Lahiri presents a vivid biography of this extraordinary Indian emperor and deepens our understanding of a legacy that extends beyond the bounds of Ashoka’s lifetime and dominion. At the center of Lahiri’s account is the complex personality of the Maurya dynasty’s third emperor—a strikingly contemplative monarch, at once ambitious and humane, who introduced a unique style of benevolent governance. Ashoka’s edicts, carved into rock faces and stone pillars, reveal an eloquent ruler who, unusually for the time, wished to communicate directly with his people. The voice he projected was personal, speaking candidly about the watershed events in his life and expressing his regrets as well as his wishes to his subjects. Ashoka’s humanity is conveyed most powerfully in his tale of the Battle of Kalinga. Against all conventions of statecraft, he depicts his victory as a tragedy rather than a triumph—a shattering experience that led him to embrace the Buddha’s teachings. Ashoka in Ancient India breathes new life into a towering figure of the ancient world, one who, in the words of Jawaharlal Nehru, “was greater than any king or emperor.”

Download or read book Communal Politics written by Ram Puniyani and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2003-04-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lucid and absorbing book explores many facets of communalism and its growing threat to the social fabric of the nation. Ram Puniyani argues that one of the main reasons for the ascendancy of communal politics is the misconceptions and distortions spread by those bent upon constructing an identity based on suspicion and hatred. These misconceptions (or myths as the author calls them) are drawn from different arenas such as history and culture and are built upon a partial projection of events and `facts`combined with a skewed assertion of norms and practices of the `other` community. A mountain of hatred, says the author, is then built upon these totally selective `facts` which misinform and mould common perceptions. Overall, this fascinating book dispels, in a novel and logical manner, many distortions which have been responsible for arousing communal passions and which have created an external or `enemy` image of religious minorities and the socially disadvantaged.
