This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Social Life in India The first two chapters of this book were published more than a year ago in the Army and Navy Magazine, and are reprinted with the kind permission of the proprietors, Messrs. W. H. Allen 8: Co. The other chapters were written about the same time, as articles for the same Magazine, but not being sufficiently within the scope of a military and naval periodical, it was resolved to produce them in the present form. The author, in the course of a long career in the Ben gal Civil Service, has held nearly all the appoint ments which he has attempted to describe in connection with that service, and he had many opportunities of becoming acquainted with all the mechanism of Indian government, as seen from Calcutta and the Lower Provinces of Bengal. In his attempt to give a sketch of social life in India, it must be remembered that he is writing chiefly of the Lower Provinces of Bengal. He has endeavoured to avoid anything which might give personal offence, and he would gladly adopt as his.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictures of Indian Life: Sketched With the Pen From 1852 to 1881 MY object in publishing in a collective form these Pictures is the same, which induced me to write them at different periods during the last quarter of a century, viz., a sincere love for the people of India, and a desire to interest others in them. And what other country has such a multiplicity of interests, extending over such long periods; such magnificent rivers and mountains; such a variety of objects to attract the Antiquarian, the Linguist, the Ethnologist, and the Philanthropist? When those, who have spent years in the country have left it for ever, how much they desire to go back for a few days, to clear up some doubt, to ask some question, to talk to some friend in a language never more to be used! All seems like a dream: the life in the city: the life in the c& the. Vigorous order: the instant obedience; the constant contemplation of the rising sun in the morning ride; the villages: the mountain passes; the ferry across the noble river. And above all, the people, those for whom we laboured, and with whom we laboured. The features of many rise to the recollection, but where are they?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real Indian People: Being More Tales and Sketches of the Masses When we first took the field, the moment was so obviously unsuitable for the appearance of any literature unconnected with such an absorbing topic, that it was deemed inadvisable to bring out the present book though the manuscript was at that time actually in the hands of the publishers. But with the determination to call our Indian forces to our aid, a new situation was created; for it seemed probable that considerable interest would be excited in England regarding the life, habits, religion, &c., of the rural classes from whom such forces are principally drawn. This fact, and also the kind reception which had been accorded to The Silent India, ' were held to justify the appearance of the present volume - which is now presented in its original form.

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 The Mad Rani written by Philip Ashby and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mad Rani: And Other Sketches of Indian Life and Thought Some of your friendly criticisms are before me at this moment. While you envy my wide knowledge of native life and my first-hand material, you are inclined to deprecate my direct unvarnished manner and close adherence to the truth. You exhort me to be more imagin ative and dramatic, and to work up deliberately to a tremendous climax - the unexpected if possible. You like the treatment of the later sketches in the series better than that of the earlier, because you think they show a much surer touch. You are probably right but from my own point of view the reason for this preference of yours is simply this: the first nine or so are facts, plain and almost un adorned, and I have drawn on practically nothing but my memory while the later stories, though based on experi ences equally true and almost as vivid, are woven together with some imagination, the coherence and development of the plot being in some cases invented. To illustrate your criticism of my discursive treatment, you even took the trouble to re - write one of my stories, The Mad Rani, in the accepted sensational manner, with due regard to atmosphere, impressionism and dramatic climax. The story itself is, as you know, true I have more than once told it to select hearers in India, and I have tried to relate it here almost exactly as it occurred. Your rendering of the same story is a most exciting piece of sensationalism, and I enjoyed it immensely but I scarcely recognised my own experience and indeed, to confess the truth, I do not think I am capable of treating any of my facts in that arresting manner, though I am quite sure that you are. But apart from your example and encouragement, I have another and more serious motive in publishingthese sketches. The constitutional reforms in India are now well advanced in the experimental stage you and I saw more than a littleof their inception before we left India last year. The ultimate responsibility for confirming or abolishing, en larging or restricting, this devolution of powers to the children of the soil, lies with the British Parliament. It is therefore of great importance that the British public should see something more than the troubled surface of Indian political life, should dive into the quieter and less advertised depths below, should appreciate, with some understanding and sympathy, the unfamiliar mentality of the great Indian population, should in a word do what is so often impressed upon the patient bureaucrat, that is, get under their skin.' In these stories I am trying to show to anyone who will read them, how the Indian mind actually and habitually works. Their religious, philosophical and moral conceptions are different from ours: you may say, if you like (indians often say it themselves with pride), that their ideals are spiritual, whereas ours are material at any rate they are different. Their standards of thorough ness in industry, of accuracy in the spoken word, of courtesy, honour, and sincerity in social behaviour, are difficult for us to understand. I do not say they are inferior. Anyone who reads The Honour of Caste, The Gate of Bathing, or Satti, will I think acquit me of any want of sympathy with Indian ethical feelings indeed one friendly critic, to whom I have shown these sketches, has rather reproached me because in depicting oriental ideals I have omitted to exhibit a better way, a higher light - the way and the light of Christianity. But my object is not to apportion praise or blame, still less is it to proselytize it is simply to under stand, and help the reader to understand, how India actually thinks, feels, speaks and acts and I hope and believe that these stories, if recognised as substantially facts and not as sensational fiction, will show, in a sufficiently interesting manner, how profoundly diflerent the mind of the East still is from the mind of the West.
