Here, they try to give an opportunity to the talented aspiring writers to pen down some of the most beautiful pieces they have ever written. This book is based on the idea that every writer writes with a unique self. This unique self is different from the writer's actual self. Thus, they give their writer-selves a 'pen-name'. But, these pen-names remain 'hidden' somewhere amidst the writers' world. Thus, we, together, decided to bring up these pen-names with their beautiful words to the readers' world and benefit them with the joy of reading.

Download or read book Language Education and Identity written by Chaise LaDousa and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines medium of instruction in education and studies its social, economic, and political significance in the lives of people living in South Asia. It provides insight into the meaning of medium and what makes it so important to identity, aspiration, and inequality. It questions the ideologized associations between education and social and spatial mobility and discusses the gender- and class-based marginalization that comes with vernacular-medium education. The volume also considers how policy measures, such as the Right to Education (RTE) Act in India, have failed to address the inequalities brought by medium in schools, and investigates questions on language access, inclusion, and rights. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and in-depth interviews, the book will be indispensable for students and scholars of anthropology, education studies, sociolinguistics, sociology, and South Asian studies. It will also appeal to those interested in language and education in South Asia, especially the role of language in the reproduction of inequality.

Download or read book Ae Mohabbat written by Rita Ganguly and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the setting dusk of the fading royalties of Awadh, where Akhtari was born in 1914, to the glamour and clamour of theatre in Calcutta and films in Bombay! From the eloquent exuberance and die-hard faith underlying the tormented childhood of Akhtari Bai Faizabadi to the rhythms of silence required of the doting Begum of a Kakori Nawab! And her final transformation to an icon of music! Begum Akhtar remains an enigma! But no one could answer all those curious posers raised over several decades with as much authority as Akhtar's cherished disciple Prof Rita Ganguly, as she lends a unique perspective on the much-fabled and colourful life of this professional singing woman, who immortalised the verses of classic and contemporary Urdu poets. With a passion so varied, given the consistent evolution of Akhtar's technique, nothing short of lifetime research could have authenticated and done justice to unravel the mystique and myth of this singing sensation in the Indian subcontinent, feted by the cognoscenti and the commoner alike. The book delves into the subtle nuances of transition in time, educing the flavour, language and music of a period that witnessed the end of a predominantly feudal society; weaving the cultural tapestry of courts and twaifs and the turbulent times that led to Independence. How the enthusiasm, dreams, and frustration of the post-Independence phase coincide with emergence of the modern era, and how these historic changes connect with the sensibilities of a highly reflective artiste and mould her music! This interaction between an introvert mind of a scintillating singer and the world without, between the changing generations and an inquisitive yet introspective Mallika-e-Ghazal, spins the narrative. Begum Akhtar surfaces in her multiple roles as a performer, a lover, wife and mother, a teacher and friend, juxtaposing stupendous success and dismal failure. Music was the ultimate the eventual destination of her creative soul. But beneath the of fame and fortune was a deeply sensitive woman, facing loneliness, pain and anguish the poignant moments of existence that remained unresolved till her very end. Begum Akhtar's life perhaps mirrors an image where we too may briefly perceive ourselves and question the veracity of our own lives. Prof Rita Ganguly was under the aegis of eight renowned maestros before she came into the fold of Begum Akhtar in the early 1960s. Unreservedly propelled towards academic and artistic pursuits by her father Dr KL Ganguly, an eminent litterateur and editor of the daily, National Herald. Born in Lucknow, she was trained in dhrupad by Gopeshwar Bandyopadhyay, and graduated with honours in music & dance from Viswa Bharati University, Santiniketan. Thereafter, she secured two national scholarships, and trained in Kathakali with the legendary Ashan Kunju Kurup and Ashan Chandu Pannikar, coveting the unique honour of becoming the first woman to perform at Shastha Temple in Kerala. Subsequently, she trained in Bharatanatyam with Rukmini Devi at Kalakshetra. And new dimensions were added to her repertoire as she got closely associated with Martha Graham, the diva of modern dance, the Kathak maestro Shambhu Maharaj, and again became a recipient of national scholarship in music to train with Mallika-e-Thumri Siddheshwari Devi of Banaras. Soon after, she joined the faculty of National School of Drama, pioneered a course in Movement and Mime, and conducted Indian Classical Theatre Appreciation courses at National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Australia, Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in England, and Tower Hall Theatre in Colombo. Her final stop was Begum Akhtar who initiated her in Patiala and Kirana Gharana and gazal-gayaki, and like her last ustad, Ganguly's music transcended mere sensuous experience to scale the heights of Sufism. As a torchbearer, she's among the few musicians in the country who have continued to cultivate and popularise the traditional modes. This engaging quest led her to undertake first-ever research on traditional singing women and twaifs as a Fellow of Ford Foundation. She has also penned the biography, Bismillah Khan and Banaras: the Seat of Shehnai, and received various honours Delhi State Award, Mallika-e-Mousiki (Bangladesh), Critics Circle of India Award, Rajiv Gandhi Shiromani Award, Priyadarshini Award, Sangeet Natak Akademi Award and Padma Shri.

Download or read book Popular Hinduism Stories and Mobile Performances written by Mrinal Pande and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the recent transformations of popular Hinduism by focusing upon the religious cum artistic practice of Ramkatha, staged narratives of the Ramcharitmanas. Focusing on the sensory and media experiences, the author examines the aesthetics and dynamics of the Ramkatha ethnoscape through participant-observation in everyday practices, and how it particularly, translates politics from the realm of religion. Besides being socially constructed, the Ramkatha heavily relies on technologies for its production and continuation. Negotiated through a telling of Hindu religious stories, the mediated voice of Morari Bapu, a former school-teacher turned narrator, is a major medium of performance transposed into multiple media such as theatre, stage, music and spectacle. The book engages with voice as a vehicle of meaning to scrutinize its discursive production, imagination and re-production across mobile contexts. It investigates how the transnationally disseminated practices re-contextualize religious subjectivities of an affective community enmeshed in spatio-sensorial modes. The book will be of interest to academic audiences in the fields of South Asian Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, as well as Performance Studies and Religious Studies.

Download or read book Random Thoughts written by Prabhat K. Singh and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random Thoughts is a collection of fifteen essays in literary criticism, some revised, improved and reprinted, and others in print for the first time. These essays are the outcome of the author’s intensive reading and revaluation of a wide variety of Indian, British, African, Singaporean and Pakistani writers and their works in English. Ranging from William Shakespeare to Rabindranath Tagore, from Edward Said to Salman Rushdie, from Chinua Achebe to Edwin Thumboo, from Shiv K. Kumar to K. N. Daruwalla, from Shashi Deshpande to Cyrus Mistry, they are the evidence of exercises in critical intelligence. In addition, there are essays focused on the nature and function of transparency in autobiography, theoretical perceptions about the author-text relationship, Indian feminism, Indian English children’s literature, the Buddhist vision in English literature, and Pakistani poetry in English. The book, thus, addresses the works of different literary genres – poetry, fiction, drama, memoir, and translation – sensitively and with a freshness of approach. Since these writers mostly figure in the university syllabi in India and abroad, the book is a valuable contribution to the body of literary criticism, and is especially useful for students, teachers, researchers and readers with an interest in English literature.
