Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Metalwork has always been to India what ceramics are to China. During the fabled Mughal age, the craftsmen of the Sultans and Rajahs of India produced an astonishing variety of objects in gold and gold enamel, silver, brass, bronze, gilt copper and the Deccani alloy known as bidri. The finest of these are among the most striking and poetic utilitarian wares ever made, in addition to being of the most outstanding technical refinement." "This, the first book on the metalwork of Mughal India, illustrates all the great surviving objects, the majority of which have never been published before and are unknown to the western connoisseur."--Jacket.

Download or read book Ladli written by Fazal Sheikh and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis presque deux décennies, Fazal Sheikh travaille parmi les populations déplacées en Afrique de l'Est, en Amérique du Sud et en Asie, créant des photographies et enregistrant des témoignages qui nous font comprendre la réalité de leur vie. Pour son dernier livre, Moksha, il se rendit à Vrindavan, une ville sainte de l'Inde, où les veuves hindoues viennent passer leurs dernières années. C'est en écoutant leurs récits que Sheikh se mit à comprendre à quel point les femmes indiennes sont victimes de codes religieux et culturels qui réduisent la plupart d'entre elles au statut de servantes porteuses d'enfants. Il retourna en Inde afin d'en apprendre davantage sur ces jeunes femmes qui grandissent dans une société certes fière de son dynamisme récent, mais pleine de préjugés à leur égard. Le présent livre, Ladli - un mot qui en hindi signifie "fille adorée" - résulte de cette enquête. Les faits rapportés ici paraîtront sans doute choquants : l'avortement de milliers de fœtus sains chaque année à cause de leur sexe, l'assassinat des fillettes à la naissance, l'enlèvement et le viol d'adolescentes contraintes à la prostitution, l'exploitation du travail des enfants, les violences physiques imposées aux servantes et, pire que tout, l'assassinat de jeunes épouses dont la dot, ou les prestations, ne satisfont pas les attentes de leur mari ou de leur belle-famille. Grâce à un réseaux d'activistes travaillant dans la rue, Sheikh construit une image de l'Inde qui tranche avec le rôle nouveau de ce pays en tant que démocratie moderne. L'évidence subtile de ses portraits renforce douloureusement les récits racontés par ces femmes. Certaines des voix les plus fortes de ce livre émanent de femmes plus âgées, qui ont surmonté une tragédie personnelle et sont déterminées à lutter pour éviter aux autres femmes de vivre la même chose. Que dire d'un pays qui réserve un sort aussi terrible aux femmes ? Ce n'est pas par absence d'une législation adéquate que les femmes continuent d'être maltraitées en Inde, mais parce que la police, les tribunaux et le gouvernement ne réussissent pas à faire appliquer les lois censées les protéger. Comment réformer un système aussi solidement enraciné ? Afin de répondre à cette question, il nous faut mieux comprendre les victimes de ce système et, dans cette entreprise, Fazal Sheikh est un guide précieux.
