Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in Hinduism have, since time immemorial, played a significant role-as Shakti assuming the power of creation, as the divine mother, as sages, as spiritual and religious leaders, as noble queens, as ideal wives and as compassionate daughters. They have been the basis of inspiration to both men and women for centuries. This book profiles twelve such legendary women, including Ambika, Devahuti, Draupadi, Parvati, Saraswati, Sati, Shakuntala and Sita. All these women belong to the early Vedic times and are still revered for their extraordinary powers and roles. They symbolize the virtues that Hinduism ordains its followers to pursue. Women in Indian Mythology should be of interest to the students of philosophy, Indology, Indian history, gender studies and all others who wish to know more about the role of women in general and during the Vedic period in particular.

Download or read book Heroines written by Ira Mukhoty and published by Rupa Publications. This book was released on 2017 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of heroism in women is not easily defined. In men the notion is often associated with physical strength and extravagant bravery. Women's heroism has tended to be of a very different nature, less easily categorized. All the women portrayed-Draupadi, Radha, Ambapali, Raziya Sultan, Meerabai, Jahanara, Laxmibai and Hazrat Mahal-share an unassailable belief in a cause, for which they are willing to fightto the death if need be. In every case this belief leads them to confrontation with a horrified patriarchy. In the book we meet lotus-eyed, dark-skinned Draupadi, dharma queen, whose story emerges almost three millennia ago; the goddess Radha who sacrificed societal respectability for a love that transgressed convention; Ambapali, a courtesan, who stepped out of the luxurious trappings of Vaishali to follow the Buddha and wrote a single, haunting poem on the evanescence of beauty and youth. Raziya, the battle-scarred warrior, who proudly claimed the title of Sultan, refusing its fragile feminine counterpart, Sultana; the courageous Meerabai who repudiated her patriarchal destiny as cloistered daughter-in-law of a Rajput clan; the gentle Mughal princess Jahanara: who claims the blessings of both Allah and the Prophet Muhammad and wishes 'never to be forgotten'; Laxmibai, widow, patriot and martyr, who rides into legend and immortality fighting for her adopted son's birthright; and Hazrat Mahal, courtesan, begum and rebel queen, resolute till the very end in defying British attempts to seize her ex-husband's kingdom.In these engrossing portraits, mythological characters from thousands of years ago walk companionably besides historical figures from more recent times. They rise to reclaim their rightful place in history. Daughters, wives, courtesans, mothers, queens, goddesses, warriors-heroines.

Book excerpt: The term Global Poetry has gained wide spread popularity as recent literary trends in the field of Contemporary Literary and Cultural study just after the revolution of digital technology. This is one of the most recent literary trends coinciding literary and cultural fraternity in one thread pertaining to the ideals of multiculturalism and hybridity of language building a bridge of the recent trends of Contemporary World English Poetry and its cultural and political ends. It is this new literary trend that has gone beyond the borders and bridged different parts of the world framing a common platform for universal cultural brotherhood. When the whole world is in global crisis due to animosity, border crisis, hegemony and constants threats, when war is knocking at the threshold of every nation and when the world is ready to see the nude dances of terrorists and war mongers, evolving of poetic fraternity can create a new dimension of contentiousness. Global Poetic Ethos, an anthology having global vision, values the fundamental character or spirit of any culture; the underlying sentiment that informs the beliefs, customs or practices of different nations can be the best book for reading, spreads the fragrance of symphony and coexistence.
