Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial Art Manufactures of the Indian Empire During the few years we have been established our main object has been to remedy past errors, and much has already been done for the general improvement in the art work of the Indian Empire. From the beginning we have kept strictly to the original shapes, which best adapted the articles for their. Various purposes, rej ecting everything of inferior workmanship and finish. The wants of Euro pean and American buyers have also been studied, and articles are now being manufactured in the forms best adapted for Western use in furnishing and ornamenting houses, which wares were never pro duced by the Indian artisan. This can be seen by inspecting our 1arge and varied collection of art wares from all parts of India, ex hibited at the World's Fair. We have made a new departure from the hitherto usual plan of exhibiting' articles of interest to the hunt ers for curiosities alone, the goods placed on public View by us being calculated to increase their importation into America. The good work that we have done in India toward the revival of Indian art manufactures has been recognized by the Supreme Government of the Empire in selecting our firm to represent the art works'of the country at the World's Fair at Chicago. During the few brief intervals in work since undertaking the re presentation of a vast Empire, in the section of art manufactures at the great Exposition, the following few notes upon the art works of India have been compiled. This work must necessarily fall short of a treatise on the whole subject which would occupy so much longer time and fill a large volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial Arts of India, Vol. 1 of 2 Part II, on The Master Handicrafts of India, is a reprint, with added text, of a portion of my Handbook to tlze Indian Court at the Paris International Exhibition of 1878. It was so well received, both on the Continent and in this country by people interested in the minor arts of India, thati resolved to publish a carefully rewritten edition of it for general sale. I began by adding to it copious notes from the annual Administration Reports of the local governments of India; and I had examined all these reports, and all the provincial Gazetteers as yet published, when I was asked in the early part of this year to write a popular handbook on the industrial arts of India, in connexion with the reopening of the India Museum under its new administration by, the Science and Art Depart ment at South Kensington. In undertaking this task my intention was to write such a short sketch as I have given of the Hindu Pantheon, without some knowledge of which half the interest of the manual arts of India is lost and to add a few general observations on the artis tic character of Indian manufactures. But on examining the india'museum collections in detail, and finding how incomplete they were for a systematic representation of the manufacturing resources of India, I saw that what was most wanted was not a handbook to the contents of theeiuseum, but an index to its deficiencies; and I therefore resolved to virtually republish a portion of my Handbook, with new information, as the second part of the present work. Although its preparation has been hurried - (the Science and Art Department received charge ofthe Museum'only on the Ist of January lastj - I hope that it IS a fairly trustworthy index of every district and town 111 British India where manufactures of any specialartistic quality are produced; and I believe it will prove of some assistance to the oofficials of the Science and Art Department in completing the India Museum collections, and to the general public as a guide to the places in India where they may obtain objects of genuine native art.

At Chittagong also, in the same Presidency, the manufacture of vessels in gold and silver is a growing industry but the gold and silversmiths there can only execute plain work to pattern, and do not seem to have any designs of their own.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial Arts of India I have been much exercised with the spelling of the modern Indian geographical names. I have never before spelled them according to the official system, but have been forced under various compulsions to submit more or less completely to it. On the present occasion. I have given up Sir Charles Napier's Scinde, but I have not been able to give up Moore's Cashmere. Whoever heard of the vale of Kashmir It has been very confusing to me to give up the Old oo's and ee's for the new a's and-i's, which latter render it impossible for common English people to understand anything like the 'true pronunciation of Indian names. It is impossible for English people to pronounce P-u-n-a as Poona, N-i-r-a as Neera, S-h-i-r-p-u-r as Shere pore, or D-a-m - D-a - m as dum-dum.' Even if the natives of India adopted the Roman alphabet we ought not to spell modern Indian geographical names as they naturally would, if our first object is to preserve the proper pronunciation of them: for let it be clearly understood that by the official system of spelling, we are degrad ing their pronunciation. I saw Kurnool the other day rhymed to skull, simply because the writer of the poem, himself an accomplished Orientalist, had been, in a heed less moment, misled by the official spelling of the word Karnul. English is English, and the spelling of English words should be left to be settled, by popular English usage, and no attempt should be made to regulate it by arbitrary resolutions of government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art-Manufactures of India: Specially Compiled for the Glasgow International Exhibition, 1888 The following pages contain a brief account of the most important art-manufactures of India. They are intended to give a general idea of such articles to the visitors at the Glasgow International Exhibition. The present collection there is not only a representative one, but also includes many articles of the best and purest workmanship. That it has been possible to get together such an assortment of Indian art-ware within so short time and with such small provision of funds, is largely due to the successful management of the late Colonial and Indian Exhibition. The knowledge which it imparted to the people of Great Britain about the resources of India, and the clever ingenuity of their fellow-subjects in turning out beautiful and original examples of art-workmanship, has now begun to bear some fruit. A large number out of the millions of visitors before whose eyes the Colonial and Indian Exhibition displayed the artistic wealth of India carried back with them a desire to possess specimens of such art, and the large number of such specimens which have through its means been scattered over the length and breadth of the land have created for Indian handiwork a taste of which the value is most important to Indian interests. It is now said that not only in Great Britain, but also on the Continent of Europe, this taste is creating a public opinion that no salon, however brilliant it may be in other respects, can be considered fashionable or perfect unless it possesses at least a few decorative articles of Indian manufacture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Indian Products: Art-Manufactures and Raw Materials The Hon'ble Colonel S. T. Trevor, R.E., Vice-President of the Calcutta International Exhibition, while inspecting my collection of Indian Raw Produce, expressed a wish that a short description of the articles should be placed within the reach of the visitors at the above Exhibition. This little work is the result of that wish. In the course of my official work, I have often had occasion to find that the general public greatly feel the want of a Hand-book of information relating to the products of India as a whole, a sort of index to the many valuable works contributed by eminent authors, but most of which relate to a particular portion of the country or a particular branch of the subject. The labours of Roxburgh, Balfour, Hooker, Drury, Royle, Brandis, Gamble, Stewart, Birdwood, Baden-Powell, Bidie, Kipling, Murray, Watson, Hunter, Atkinson, Liotard, Kanny Loll Dey, Udai Chand Dutt and many other well-known experts on Indian manufactures and raw products have done much towards informing the European nations about the developed and undeveloped resources of India, but, as I have just remarked, the valuable information collected by these able writers either relates to particular branches of the subject, or is mixed up with geographical, historical and other matters, or is contained in works too voluminous to form a key for casual enquirers, rapid tourists or busy merchants. In the latter parti of the last year, therefore, I made an attempt to supply this want, and brought out a "Rough List of Indian Art-ware," which was so well received by the public that a second edition of it was required within three months after the first edition was published. In the beginning of the present year I took up the economic produce, and commenced a dictionary of raw materials.

Download or read book Inglorious Empire written by Shashi Tharoor and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inglorious Empire' tells the real story of the British in India from the arrival of the East India Company to the end of the Raj, revealing how Britain's rise was built upon its plunder of India. In the eighteenth century, India's share of the world economy was as large as Europe's. By 1947, after two centuries of British rule, it had decreased six-fold. Beyond conquest and deception, the Empire blew rebels from cannon, massacred unarmed protesters, entrenched institutionalised racism, and caused millions to die from starvation. British imperialism justified itself as enlightened despotism for the benefit of the governed, but Shashi Tharoor takes on and demolishes this position, demonstrating how every supposed imperial "gift" - from the railways to the rule of law -was designed in Britain's interests alone. He goes on to show how Britain's Industrial Revolution was founded on India's deindustrialisation, and the destruction of its textile industry.

Book excerpt: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2018 BY THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE AND SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE By a prize-winning young historian, an authoritative work that reframes the Industrial Revolution, the expansion of British empire, and emergence of industrial capitalism by presenting them as inextricable from the gun trade "A fascinating and important glimpse into how violence fueled the industrial revolution, Priya Satia's book stuns with deep scholarship and sparkling prose."--Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies We have long understood the Industrial Revolution as a triumphant story of innovation and technology. Empire of Guns, a rich and ambitious new book by award-winning historian Priya Satia, upends this conventional wisdom by placing war and Britain's prosperous gun trade at the heart of the Industrial Revolution and the state's imperial expansion. Satia brings to life this bustling industrial society with the story of a scandal: Samuel Galton of Birmingham, one of Britain's most prominent gunmakers, has been condemned by his fellow Quakers, who argue that his profession violates the society's pacifist principles. In his fervent self-defense, Galton argues that the state's heavy reliance on industry for all of its war needs means that every member of the British industrial economy is implicated in Britain's near-constant state of war. Empire of Guns uses the story of Galton and the gun trade, from Birmingham to the outermost edges of the British empire, to illuminate the nation's emergence as a global superpower, the roots of the state's role in economic development, and the origins of our era's debates about gun control and the "military-industrial complex" -- that thorny partnership of government, the economy, and the military. Through Satia's eyes, we acquire a radically new understanding of this critical historical moment and all that followed from it. Sweeping in its scope and entirely original in its approach, Empire of Guns is a masterful new work of history -- a rigorous historical argument with a human story at its heart.
