Download or read book Folktales from Northern India written by Sadhana Naithani and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-10-08 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first single volume collection of classic Hindi folktales by translators William Crooke and Pandit Ram Gharib Chaube. In 1891, at a time when the study of India was primarily based on ancient texts, coins, and material remains, William Crooke dared to focus on living India—its everyday culture, age-old customs, and fictional narratives. With Pandit Ram Gharib Chaube, he recorded and published, over a period of six years, a remarkable collection of folktales from northern India. The tales reflect the tapestry of social and personal lives of this region, the epicenter of a revolt against British rule in 1857. Although many of the tales were published in British ethnographic journals, a number of the manuscripts, in Chaube's handwriting, were unpublished; others existed only as old microfilm in a New Delhi library. Never before have they appeared as a single volume or been available in any one library or archive.
Download or read book How Ganesh Got His Elephant Head written by Harish Johari and published by Bear Cub Books. This book was released on 2003-10-08 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magical story of how Ganesh, the son of Shiva and Parvati, was brought back to life with the head of an elephant • The story of one of the most beloved characters in Indian lore, made accessible for Western children • Illustrated throughout with paintings from the classic Indian tradition Any Indian child can tell you how the beloved god Ganesh got his elephant’s head--now American children can know as well. For centuries Indian children have grown up hearing Ganesh’s story--how his mother, Parvati (an incarnation of the great mother goddess), created a small boy from sandalwood soap and commanded that he guard the palace against all intruders while she took her bath. How her husband, Shiva (the fearsome god of destruction), didn’t take kindly to being barred from his own home. How Shiva beheaded the boy during the cosmic war that followed, but then, when he realized that the balance of the entire universe was at stake, brought the boy back to life by grafting an elephant’s head onto his body and made him the people’s intercessor against the powers of destruction. Ganesh’s timeless story teaches children about the steadfast power of dedication to duty, the awe-inspiring power of a mother’s love for her child, and the gentle power of compassion, which holds the world together. Accompanied by rich, color illustrations prepared according to the traditional Hindu canon, How Ganesh Got His Elephant Head will transport children to a magical world filled with ancient wisdom.

Download or read book Indian Tales Classic Reprint written by Rudyard Kipling and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian Tales by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories that revolve around the Indian subcontinent. India had a special place in Kipling's heart as is evident from his writings since he spent many of his formative years in the country. This work is a reflection of his deep rooted understanding of the many different facets of the country. Indian Tales is a mammoth collection running into many pages with a little less than forty stories to choose from. It showcases some of Kipling's best known work. The essence of the stories found in this volume is that the central character of Kipling's stories is not just the main protagonist but India itself. His views on the socio-cultural ethos of the country and its people as well as the complex relationship between the British empire and native Indians is beautifully captured within the many pages of this book. It would be difficult to single out specific stories but some are worth mentioning to discerning readers. In this collection Kipling showcases different styles of writing including stories like the Phantom Rickshaw and the Man Who Would Be King which are eerie and other-worldly. The stories revolving around the three characters of Mulvaney, Ortheris, and Learoyd are also highly entertaining as found in The Three Musketeers and Private Learoyd's Story. Indian Tales is the perfect starting point for readers as yet deprived of the genius of Rudyard Kipling while it continues to be a treasure trove of moving narratives ensconced within the enigmatic world of India by of one of literature's evergreen legends.
