Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her introduction to Hindu Pasts—which showcases her work as a scholar of social, literary, and religious history—Vasudha Dalmia outlines the central ideas which thread her writings: first, to understand in greater historical depth the relationship between body language, religion, and society in India, as well as the ever-changing role of its religious and social institutions; second, to recognize that the Hindu tradition, which colonials and nationalists tend to see as monolithic, is in fact a multiplicity of distinct and semi-autonomous strands.

Download or read book Empire and Information written by Christopher Alan Bayly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a penetrating account of the evolution of British intelligence gathering in India, C. A. Bayly shows how networks of Indian spies were recruited by the British to secure military, political and social information about their subjects. He also examines the social and intellectual origins of these 'native informants', and considers how the colonial authorities interpreted and often misinterpreted the information they supplied. It was such misunderstandings which ultimately contributed to the failure of the British to anticipate the rebellions of 1857. The author argues, however, that even before this, complex systems of debate and communication were challenging the political and intellectual dominance of the European rulers.

Download or read book A Hindu Education written by Leah Renold and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-08-12 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive account of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU), India's first residential university and the result of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya's efforts to establish a Hindu university in the country. This book not only discusses the origins and development of the BHU, but also the challenges and issues that the school faced. It studies Malaviya's efforts to introduce religious education in BHU—and even make it mandatory—and his response to Mahatma Gandhi's efforts to boycott the university. It also describes the lives of the students in the campus and its academic, intellectual, and cultural atmosphere. This book also considers the role and influence of the British in the development of Hindu education during the late colonial period and the importance of the university's location.

Auszug: ...unbelieving, are condemned to live for ever in caves and in the hells. The Jins being sprung from fire, in which are both light and darkness, remain, some obedient to and enjoying the light of God, and others, a few, are in sin and darkness, and even now exist in this world. From the race of Jins came a personage called Martoos, governor of the inhabited world, and for 36,000 years his posterity ruled the heavens and stars, until towards the end of this period, becoming rebellious and unbelieving, they fell under the anger of the Almighty, and wero overcome by a personage Chulpas. He remained faithful for a time, but at length, after a second period, revolted, and with his descendants passed away. In the third period appeared Naboos, king of the world, whose people after a time rebelled against God, and against whom the army of the angels was sent. His people were for the greater part killed; a few escaped to the uttermost parts of the earth, and his children were taken prisoners to heaven by the angels. Of these, one called Iblis, to whom was given the name Azazeel, was placed among the angels. When those who had escaped again raised their heads in rebellion, Iblis, with all the Deotas, was sent to oppose them; he overcame and slew them, and reigned in his father's place. Sometimes he remained in heaven and sometimes on earth, and became proud of his Wisdom and greatness. Towards the end of the third period the Almighty created Adam from the dust of the earth, and ordered Iblis to bow down before him. Iblis, through pride, refused, and was oursed. Adam dwelt in heaven until Iblis, by deceit, misled his wife, and for her fault he was expelled from heaven. In the days when Adam, cast out...

Download or read book Banaras Reconstructed written by Madhuri Desai and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the late sixteenth and early twentieth centuries, Banaras, the iconic Hindu center in northern India that is often described as the oldest living city in the world, was reconstructed materially as well as imaginatively, and embellished with temples, monasteries, mansions, and ghats (riverfront fortress-palaces). Banaras’s refurbished sacred landscape became the subject of pilgrimage maps and its spectacular riverfront was depicted in panoramas and described in travelogues. In Banaras Reconstructed, Madhuri Desai examines the confluences, as well as the tensions, that have shaped this complex and remarkable city. In so doing, she raises issues central to historical as well as contemporary Indian identity and delves into larger questions about religious urban environments in South Asia.
