Download or read book The Making of Modern Hindi written by Sujata S. Mody and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early twentieth century, British imperialism in India was at its peak and anti-colonial sentiments were on the rise. The nationalist desire for cultural self-identification was gaining ground and an important articulation of this was the demand for a national language and literature to represent a modern India. It was in this context that Mahavir Prasad Dwivedi, a novel, daring, and contentious litterateur, launched his multimedia campaign of constructing a new Hindi literary establishment. As the long-time editor of the Hindi journal Sarasvatī, Dwivedi’s influence was so far-reaching that this period of modern literature in Hindi is known as the Dwivedi era. However, he had to face stiff opposition as well. Sujata Mody’s book sheds light on the interactions between Dwivedi and his supporters and detractors and shows how Dwivedi’s responses to challenges were pragmatic and strategically varied. The Making of Modern Hindi presents Dwivedi as a dynamic and influential arbiter of literary modernity whose exchanges with competing authorities are an important piece in the history of Hindi literature.

Download or read book Writer Rebel Soldier Lover written by Akshaya Mukul and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2022-07-24 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An outstanding literary biography" AMITAV GHOSH "Mukul writes beautifully, and brings to life a man who has often been misunderstood" BENJAMIN MOSER "This book is a remarkable contribution to the world of Indian letters: ANNIE ZAIDI Sachchidanand Hirananda Vatsyayan 'Agyeya' is unarguably one of the most remarkable figures of Indian literature. From his revolutionary youth to acquiring the mantle of a (highly controversial) patron saint of Hindi literature, Agyeya's turbulent life also tells a history of the Hindi literary world and of a new nation-spanning as it does two world wars, Independence and Partition, and the building and fraying of the Nehruvian state. Akshaya Mukul's comprehensive and unflinching biography is a journey into Agyeya's public, private and secret lives. Based on never-seen-before archival material-including a mammoth trove of private papers, documents of the CIA-funded Congress for Cultural Freedom and colonial records of his years in jail-the book delves deep into the life of the nonconformist poet-novelist. Mukul reveals Agyeya's revolutionary life and bomb-making skills, his CIA connection, a secret lover, his intense relationship with a first cousin, the trajectory of his political positions, from following M.N. Roy to exploring issues dear to the Hindu right, and much more. Along the way, we get a rare peek into the factionalism and pettiness of the Hindi literary world of the twentieth century, and the wondrous and grand debates which characterized that milieu. Writer, Rebel, Soldier, Lover features a formidable cast of characters: from writers like Premchand, Phanishwarnath Renu, Raja Rao, Mulk Raj Anand and Josephine Miles to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, revolutionary Chandra Shekhar Azad and actor Balraj Sahni. And its landscapes stretch from British jails, an intellectually robust Allahabad and modern-day Delhi to monasteries in Europe, the homes of Agyeya's friends in the Himalayas and universities in the US. This book is a magnificent examination of Agyeya's civilizational enterprise. Ambitious and scholarly, Writer, Rebel, Soldier, Lover is also an unputdownable, whirlwind of a read.
Download or read book Kaalkut written by Jaidev Jamwal and published by Jaidev Jamwal. This book was released on with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wars between nations don’t start based on a single incident nor are they fought by just the combatants alone. Starting a war in the shadow of a nuclear umbrella is something that no responsible nation state will consider lightly. Yet, Pakistan has done it once in 1999 with India and its biggest ally China is virtually on the same path. Yet it has the sense to stop from pushing too hard and most such provocations fizzle out in time. But what happens if things don’t go as expected? Any wild card like a rogue general, a stronger than usual Indian response by a hawkish regime or any other factor can quickly escalate the minor border clashes to a full-fledged war leading to a nuclear exchange. This book explores these possibilities in two parts. The first one covers the incidents of statecraft, spycraft, provocations, terrorism and perception management which are more or less routine matters for most nations. The last few chapters cover a two-front war involving India on one side and Pakistan and China on the other and how it could go considering each side has nuclear weapons. The warfare has been described keeping current capabilities and ORBAT (Order Of Battle) of all sides in mind. It is of course not 100% accurate, but close enough for the purpose.
