Download or read book Turbans and Tales written by Amit Amin and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The turban is undoubtedly the most powerful and recognisable symbol of Sikh identity: worn for centuries by kings and holy men in South Asia, it took on a revolutionary meaning with the birth of Sikhism, and today it continues to signify non-conformity and style. Turbans and Tales chronicles the Sikh Project, a photography programme created by the award-winning duo Amit and Naroop. Over a period of four years, they photographed boxers, army captains, doctors, bikers, fashion stylists, musicians, temple volunteers, magicians and Sikhs from a host of other occupations. They sought out individuals – men, women and children – with inspiring stories to tell, as well as a unique approach to wearing their traditional articles of faith. The portraits, which have been exhibited in London and New York, showcase the modern Sikh identity in all its beauty and diversity.

Book excerpt: The true-story of life and love in an unfamiliar world. When Naginder Sehmi was born in Kenya nobody could have predicted the amazing life he was to live. From the scorched plains of Africa to the lofty mountains of Switzerland, Narender’s lifelong journey has been filled with unbelievable moments. In Twisted Turban, Naginder not only describes his continent-crossing journey in vivid detail but he also provides an unparalleled insight into the life as a Sikh. With heart-wrenching honesty, the stories show the struggle for love in a caste-based society and the inevitable approach of death and decay. Naginder also provides a commentary on the modern problems faced by Sikhs, both spiritually and in everyday life, and provides his own solutions to dealing with them. Beautifully-written with a fiery sense of humour that brings this distant world to life, Twisted Turban is a revealing insight into the life of a Sikh.

Download or read book The Turban for the Crown written by Said Amir Arjomand and published by Studies in Middle Eastern Hist. This book was released on 1988 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive history of the Iranian Revolution views it in the context of an ongoing conflict between religious and political authorities dating back to the establishment of Shi'ism as the state religion of Iran in 1501. The historical context is seen as being critical in understanding the staying power of Khomeini's regime and its ruthless elimination of internal opposition to the Islamic Republic. The significance of the appearance of widespread popular discontent, the ideological differences among the ruling clergy, and the issue of Khomeini's succession are also considered, and the book concludes with a comparison between the Iranian Revolution and other famous historical revolutions.

Download or read book Veils Turbans and Islamic Reform in Northern Nigeria written by Elisha P. Renne and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veils, Turbans, and Islamic Reform in Northern Nigeria tells the story of Islamic reform from the perspective of dress, textile production, trade, and pilgrimage over the past 200 years. As Islamic reformers have sought to address societal problems such as poverty, inequality, ignorance, unemployment, extravagance, and corruption, they have used textiles as a means to express their religious positions on these concerns. Home first to the early indigo trade and later to a thriving textile industry, northern Nigeria has been a center for Islamic practice as well as a place where everything from women's hijabs to turbans, buttons, zippers, short pants, and military uniforms offers a statement on Islam. Elisha P. Renne argues that awareness of material distinctions, religious ideology, and the political and economic contexts from which successive Islamic reform groups have emerged is important for understanding how people in northern Nigeria continue to seek a proper Islamic way of being in the world and how they imagine their futures—spiritually, economically, politically, and environmentally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After floating in the Dead Sea, the six friends came out and started walking on the shore towards salt formations at a distance. Amyra and two girls were leading. Aghast they stopped abruptly, to see a thickset man holding a girl in bikinis and pushing her towards a fold in the piled-up salt formations. It infuriated Capt Shaurya Vardhan who saw the man with an arm-hold around the girl’s neck, flaunting a knife blade in his other hand. The girl was struggling and whimpering to let her go. The man was heard saying, ‘Co-operate with me and I won’t hurt you. Shaurya warned the goon in his deep voice, ‘stop there you rascal.’ Surprised, the man whirled around to face the challenger with a speed of a cobra stepped over. He shoved the girl behind him and came at the Captain, raising the knife aiming at his chest.

Book excerpt: This story will tell you about how two U.S. Soldiers were on a fact-finding mission for the United Nations, actually for the CIA, when a Sidewinder missile struck the side of the airplane, apparently a dud made in China, it did not explode. The smoke-filled Hercules C-130 was on fire going down and in the confusion the Air Force Crew ejected everything - including the soldiers sitting in a Hummer as required while airborne. They were ejected out the rear like garbage. Their lives seemed lost’ gone forever as the aircraft disappeared into the early morning. They landed somewhere, their radio sustained fatal damage. Lost, stranded, shaken, their courage kept them alive. Shot and wounded by terrorists, they did battle with earthquakes, volcanoes, religious artifacts and beautiful girls as they tried to get home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No man could hope to draw together the various fields from which the materials of this book are derived if he were a scholar in any one of them. No one could feel less scholarly than I do. This becomes particularly evident when the subject of Arabic transliteration arises, as it always does in forewords to books on the Middle East. I have before me the handiwork of Hitti, Gibb, and Calverley, three men whose erudition and integrity are of the highest order, and yet I cannot find complete agreement among them.1
