Download or read book Monsoon Islam written by Sebastian R. Prange and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, a distinct form of Islamic thought and practice developed among Muslim trading communities of the Indian Ocean. Sebastian R. Prange argues that this 'Monsoon Islam' was shaped by merchants not sultans, forged by commercial imperatives rather than in battle, and defined by the reality of Muslims living within non-Muslim societies. Focusing on India's Malabar Coast, the much-fabled 'land of pepper', Prange provides a case study of how Monsoon Islam developed in response to concrete economic, socio-religious, and political challenges. Because communities of Muslim merchants across the Indian Ocean were part of shared commercial, scholarly, and political networks, developments on the Malabar Coast illustrate a broader, trans-oceanic history of the evolution of Islam across monsoon Asia. This history is told through four spaces that are examined in their physical manifestations as well as symbolic meanings: the Port, the Mosque, the Palace, and the Sea.

Download or read book Blues from the Malabar Coast written by Nalini Warriar and published by Tsar Publications. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These twelve delightful linked stories begin in a small village on India's Malabar coast. The Variyars are a traditional matriarchal family, large and close knit, their children are numerous and spoilt, and life revolves around the temple. The family and its fortunes are described through the perecptions of its various members, particularly the younger ones. "Blues from the Malabar Coast" describes the life of the family, dominated from dusk till dawn by the old grandmother in the kitchen... In "Leela's Dream," a young widow gives birth to a daughter whom - by invoking an old custom - she promises to the son of a beloved brother who will soon marry; the young couple so engaged are Ven and Seema. In "Greener pastures" they arrive in Quebec City, whose winters Ven adores and where Seema recalls the life of her family. In "Going Back" Seema returns for the cremation of her father, an honest, unassuming tax inspector with whom she has wandered the length and breadth of India. Joyful, poignant, and sad, this wonderful collection tells a story in its many stories, of a village and its people, of a nation, and of our times.

Download or read book Letters from Malabar written by Henry Bruce and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traveler and writer Henry Bruce details the culture and qualities of the Malabar coast of India, as it was during the rule of the British Raj. Bruce begins by reflecting upon the beauty of Malabar's land, the serenity and unspoiled nature of the countryside, which is scarcely mentioned in the travel guidebooks of his era. Having spent a time touring and appreciating the region, he expresses his wish to bring its charms to a greater audience. Throughout the text, the author praises the hospitality rendered him: though old-fashioned, he finds the manner and customs of the locals charming. Describing the various locales, the reader discovers how Thrissur (rendered by Bruce in its Anglicized form as ?Trichur?) appeared at the start of the 20th century. Though prosperous, the region was not ostentatious, with Bruce reporting a conviviality between the classes. The efficiency of the local administration, and the beauty of its temples and architecture, are amply noted.
