Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sport and Life in the Further Himalaya During the noonday heats when nature is asleep, often even when "beats" are in sight but unapproachable, the hunter of mountain big-game has time on his hands to kill somehow or other. The following sketches, originally pencil-scribbled in a note-book, are the result of some of such hours during a period of eight years' service in the regions they describe, in the course of which practically all my leisure moments were devoted to shooting in one form or another. At the risk of my narratives appearing "bald and unconvincing," I have refrained from any attempt to embellish them by the addition of a word of fiction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sport and Life in the Further Himalaya Cascading down the habitable lower lpes are numerous rivulets fed from the snow above. Let us look at the scene from high up the opposite side of the valley. First there appear, below the snow, tiny threads of silver winding through arid slopes of talus. Some 5000 feet above the river strips of light green appear, little fields cut in terraces in which the young barley is just begin ning to show itself. A few huts are seen lower down and some gaunt poplars, a cold and dreary upland country. Farther down, the strip of green darkens in colour and gradually broadens. Chest nut, apricot, and other fruit-bearing trees appear, at first scattered, but becoming more numerous, till, at the river's edge, the cultivated fan spreads out to a couple of miles or more in breadth, a variegated mass of golden corn, orchards, and vine yards, with the little villages half hidden in foliage. Often two or more of these fans join, forming bands of verdure some miles in length. Chitral itself is composed of several of such fans merged into one, and most Chitrali villages are of the same type. In the south of Chitral, where the rainfall is greater, the hillsides, at elevations favourable to the growth of conifers; are clothed in pine forests, and the scenery is.

Download or read book English Writing and India 1600 1920 written by Pramod K. Nayar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-03-25 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the formations and configurations of British colonial discourse on India through a reading of prose narratives of the 1600-1920 period. Arguing that colonial discourse often relied on aesthetic devices in order to describe and assert a degree of narrative control over Indian landscape, Pramod Nayar demonstrates how aesthetics furnished a vocabulary and representational modes for the British to construct particular images of India. Looking specifically at the aesthetic modes of the marvellous, the monstrous, the sublime, the picturesque and the luxuriant, Nayar marks the shift in the rhetoric – from the exploration narratives from the age of mercantile exploration to that of the ‘shikar’ memoirs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century’s extreme exotic. English Writing and India provides an important new study of colonial aesthetics, even as it extends current scholarship on the modes of early British representations of new lands and cultures.

Download or read book Britain and Tibet 1765 1947 written by Julie G. Marshall and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography is a record of British relations with Tibet in the period 1765 to 1947. As such it also involves British relations with Russia and China, and with the Himalayan states of Ladakh, Lahul and Spiti, Kumaon and Garhwal, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Assam, in so far as British policy towards these states was affected by her desire to establish relations with Tibet. It also covers a subject of some importance in contemporary diplomacy. It was the legacy of unresolved problems concerning Tibet and its borders, bequeathed to India by Britain in 1947, which led to border disputes and ultimately to war between India and China in 1962. These borders are still in dispute today. It also provides background information to Tibet's claims to independence, an issue of current importance. The work is divided into a number of sections and subsections, based on chronology, geography and events. The introductions to each of the sections provide a condensed and informative history of the period and place the books and article in their historical context. Most entries are also annotated. This work is therefore both a history and a bibliography of the subject, and provides a rapid entry into a complex area for scholars in the fields of international relations and military history as well as Asian history.
