Book excerpt: Vibrant recipes, one family's memories of their homeland and a fascinating insight into Afghanistan's rich heritage. 'Parwana stole my heart' - Diana Henry 'Parwana tells many stories ... it is a celebration: the recipes in it bulge with colour and flavour and life ...' - Nigella Lawson Interwoven with traditional Afghan recipes is one family's story of a region long afflicted by war, but with much more at its heart. Author Durkhanai Ayubi's parents, Zelmai and Farida Ayubi, fled Afghanistan with their young children in 1985, at the height of the Cold War. When their family-run restaurant Parwana opened its doors in Adelaide in 2009, their vision was to share with the world their family memories through the delights of Afghan cuisine, infused with Afghanistan's rich historical culture and traditions of generosity and hospitality, to offer a more complete picture of the country they had left behind. These fragrant and flavourful recipes have been in the family for generations and include rice dishes, dumplings, curries, meats, Afghan pastas, chutneys and pickles, soups and breads, drinks and desserts. Some are everyday meals, some are celebratory special dishes. Each has a story to tell.

Book excerpt: A New Statesman Book of the Year 2021 A White Review Book of the Year 2021 In this remarkable first collection, Parwana Fayyaz evokes events in the lives of Afghan women, past and present – their endurance and achievements, told from their points of view. John McAuliffe writes of the 'remarkable litanies, which haunt her poems' occasions' and the title poem, with which she won the 2019 Forward Prize for Best Single Poem, is such a litany, conjuring and commemorating. The poems are not judgmental: they witness. The reader infers the contexts. As well as the human stories there is a spectacular landscape, unfamiliar villages and cities, and a rich history which the Western press in reporting contemporary news foreshortens and diminishes. 'Storytelling has a long tradition in Afghan culture. Stories are passed down orally. Every woman even or especially those who are illiterate knows and has memorized a few important stories – to share [...] I grew up among women who never went to school – my grandmothers, my mother, my aunts.' As the poet grew away from that tradition, in which patience was the chief virtue, she lost patience and began her resistance, their resistance, in her poems which hover between cultures and languages, thinking in one and understanding in another. Each language has its history and value systems: 'it was learning English that gave me my voice as a poet, enabling me to distance myself as well as to comprehend the connection with the tradition I was brought up in.'

The Local Chieftains, The Desais, Shared The Ruling Power With The Nawabs. They Were The Backbone Of The Provincial Administrative System.The Agrarian System Inherited Many Elements From Vijayanagara, Adil Shahs And Marathas. The Standard Land Measure, The Mar, Was Continued From The Vijayanagara Times, While The Bigha And Chawar Were Borrowed From The Adil Shahs And The Marathas.In The Religious Field One Finds An Attempt At Harmonisation And Synthesis. The Religious Festivals Of Various Castes And Communities Were Allowed To Continue As They Were Handed Down From Earlier Times. Saints Of Different Religions Commanded Equal Respect And Devotion From All The Communities.Most Of The Nawabs Were Religious-Minded, And Never Indulged In Any Religious Discrimination. There Are Many Examples Of The Nawabs Making Grants Of Lands To The Brahmins, Lingayats And Other Communities, And Not A Single Temple Or Matha Was Demolished On Religious Grounds During Their Times. Savanur Was Privileged To Get A Printing Press Early In The Modern Period. Its Judicial System Became A Model For Other Princely States.The Book Is A Pioneering Work, It Being The First Historical Work Of Its Kind On The Subject. It Throws Open To The World Of Historians A Subject About The Different Aspects Of Which Independent Works Can Be Written. It Explores New Avenues On The Uncharted Sea Of The Subject Trailing Behind New Lines Of Development For The Coming Historians.

This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume deals with the inter-relations between agricultural production, agrarian trade, markets, towns and population of urban Rajasthan in the eighteenth-nineteenth centuries. This study also displays that how the higher receipts from sair-jihat (non-agrarian taxes) in various areas of Rajasthan, worked in the evolution of agrarian markets into qasbas. On the same line the volume shows the fall in industrial activity in the nineteenth century which broadly corresponds with the theory of de-industrialization and de-urbanization.

Download or read book My Pen Is the Wing of a Bird written by 18 Afghan Women and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark collection: the first anthology of short fiction by Afghan women that are "powerful, profound, and deeply moving" (Elif Shafak, author of The Island of Missing Trees, a Reese's Book Club pick) "My pen is the wing of a bird; it will tell you those thoughts we are not allowed to think, those dreams we are not allowed to dream." Eighteen Afghan women living in, speaking about, and writing from the country itself tell stories that are powerful and illuminating, unique and universal - stories of family, work, childhood, friendship, war, gender identity, and cultural traditions. A woman's fortitude saves her village from disaster. A teenager explores their identity in a moment of quiet. A tormented girl tries to find love through a horrific act. A headmaster makes his way to work, treading the fine line between life and death. These and more original, vital, and unexpected stories hail from extraordinary voices rooted in Afghanistan's two main linguistic groups (Pashto and Dari), and were developed over two years through the writer development program Untold's Write Aghanistan Project. My Pen Is the Wing of a Bird comes at a pivotal moment in Afghanistan's history, when these voices must be heard. With an Introduction by Lyse Doucet, BBC chief international correspondant, and afterword by Lucy Hannah, Founder and Director of Untold
