Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Days in North India Soon after dark I found myself alone, rushing along the line which, for upwards of a thousand miles, leads to Delhi. There is little of any interest to attract the eye or break the ennui of the long journey. I do not remember any tunnel the whole way. We passed along the shore of the Ganges, though not always close to it, and across plains, ex cept when, at some points, we skirted a low line of hills rising like a line of beach to this ocean of al luvial soil. There was not much visible of any of the towns we passed. The natives who crowded the station-houses were very like the people we saw every where. They pushed along in feverish anxiety to get their seats, being frequently encumbered with their bundles of household gear. Their wives and children clung to them all the while, and jabbered with nerv ous earnestness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natives of Northern India: With Thirty-Two Illustrations Interest in the subject races of the British Empire should be especially keen in the Mother Country, where there are few families but send into our de pendencies some member, be it as Government official, soldier, or colonist. Anthropological text-books are at once too technical and too bulky to attract the ordinary reader, who wishes for no more than a sketch of habits and customs, accurate but readable, in which matter too abstruse, or otherwise unsuit able for general consumption, is omitted. The present series is intended to supply in handy and readable form the needs of those who wish to learn some thing of the life of the uncivilised races of our Empire; it will serve the purpose equally of those who remain at home and of those who fare forth into the world and come into personal contact with peeples in the lower stages of culture.

Download or read book Indian Classical Music and the Gramophone 1900 1930 written by Vikram Sampath and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1902 The Gramophone Company in London sent out recording experts on "expeditions" across the world to record voices from different cultures and backgrounds. All over India, it was women who embraced the challenge of overcoming numerous social taboos and aesthetic handicaps that came along with this nascent technology. Women who took the plunge and recorded largely belonged to the courtesan community, called tawaifs and devadasis, in North and South India, respectively. Recording brought with it great fame, brand recognition, freedom from exploitative patrons, and monetary benefits to the women singers. They were to become pioneers of the music industry in the Indian sub-continent. However, despite the pioneering role played by these women, their stories have largely been forgotten. Contemporaneous with the courtesan women adapting to recording technology was the anti-nautch campaign that sought to abolish these women from the performing space and brand them as common prostitutes. A vigorous renaissance and arts revival movement followed, leading to the creation of a new classical paradigm in both North Indian (Hindustani) and South Indian (Carnatic) classical music. This resulted in the standardization, universalization, and institutionalization of Indian classical music. This newly created classical paradigm impacted future recordings of The Gramophone Company in terms of a shift in genres and styles. Vikram Sampath sheds light on the role and impact of The Gramophone Company’s early recording expeditions on Indian classical music by examining the phenomenon through a sociocultural, historical and musical lens. The book features the indefatigable stories of the women and their experiences in adapting to recording technology. The artists from across India featured are: Gauhar Jaan of Calcutta, Janki Bai of Allahabad, Zohra Bai of Agra, Malka Jaan of Agra, Salem Godavari, Bangalore Nagarathnamma, Coimbatore Thayi, Dhanakoti of Kanchipuram, Bai Sundarabai of Pune, and Husna Jaan of Banaras.

Download or read book North India Classic Reprint written by Charles Freer Andrews and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North India Lightfoot, that the study of history was the best cordial for a drooping courage. I can imagine no study more bracing and exhilarating than that Of the modern expansion of the Church Of England beyond the seas during the past half century, and especially since the institution Of the Day Of Intercession for Foreign Missions. It is only when these matters are studied historically that this expansion comes out in its true proportions, and invites comparison with the progress Of the Church in any similar period Of the world's history since our lord's Ascension into heaven. But for this purpose there must be the accurate marshalling of facts, the consideration Of the special circumstances Of each country, race and Mission, the facing Of problems, the biographies Of great careers, even the bold forecast of conquests yet to come. It is to answer some Of these questions, and to enable the general reader to gauge the progress Of Church Of England Missions, that Messrs. A. R. Mowbray and co. Have designed a series Of handbooks, Of which each volume will be a monograph on the work Of the Church in some particular country or region by a competent writer of special local experience and knowledge. The whole series will be edited by two men who have given themselves in England to the work and study Of Foreign Missions - Canon Dodson, Principal of S. Paul's Missionary College, Burgh, and Canon bullock-webster, of Ely. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rifle and Spear With the Rajpoots: Being the Narrative of a Winter's Travel and Sport in Northern India This volume is an almost verbatim reprint of letters written hurriedly by the roadside. It contains neither guide-book descriptions, nor attempts at scenery word painting, and is simply a plain and unvarnished account of our rough but very pleasant experience of Indian Camp Life. The narrative is, I fear, equally rugged, but both notes and sketches were at least taken on the spot, and I think would lose what realism they may possess.

For Jehovah hath said it, that As the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater - so shall my word he that goeth forth out of my mouth it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Music of India These differences are reflected in the music of the North and of the South, though we must not commit the mistake of thinking of these as distinct types of music. There is one Indian music, though there are many ways of working it out; and these all group themselves under the Northern and Southern schools. Distinguished as the Northern or Hindustani school and the Southern or Carnatic school, both are yet based on the principles stated in the ancient Sanskrit treatises on music.

Download or read book A Glance Backward at Fifteen Years of Missionary Life in North India Classic Reprint written by Joseph Warren and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glance Backward at Fifteen Years of Missionary Life in North India The plan of this work is simple. It is to give Specimens of all kinds of experience, both happy and sad; and to display all our ordinary modes of work ing, the reasons for them, and their results. The people and the circumstances, that affect our work, must be taken into view. The mode of doing this, which has been chosen, is to give a personal narrative of my own experience - not chronologically, but as to different subjects. My object is, to keep the indi vidual out of sight, as far as the nature of the plan will permit; and on the thin thread of personal narra tive to string anecdotes, sketches, and specimens, until the reader shall be able to gather an intelligible notion of our life and labours in India. An attempt is made to keep the reader from being wearied by the mere clanking of machinery, by interrupting and illustrating the narrative with all sorts of facts related to it. An additional chapter contains a brief sketch of the government of that country, and of different classes of persons, who are mentioned in the course of the work, so far as is necessary for the understand ing of the narrative. The object of the book is, to help the friends of missions to a full knowledge of the work, so that they may form just expectations, and be led to go forward with more interest in the matter, more earnestness of desire and purpose, and more hepe, patience, and prayer.
