This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from India in the Nineteenth Century The discovery of a sea route to India was the uppermost ambition of every maritime state in Europe during the second half of the fifteenth century. The old assumptions of Seneca and Pliny that there were other worlds than that known to Rome breathed again in the poetical predictions of Dante and Luigi Pulci. The belief "in another hemisphere," and that there were countries at "our antipodes," was held before Diaz discovered the Cape of Good Hope or Columbus traversed the Atlantic. The Wars of the Roses had retarded the growth of England's naval power, which in the fourteenth century had been supreme in Northern Europe; but with the Tudors came a revival of maritime spirit and adventure, although Henry VII.'s first emissaries were the Italian Cabots, in default of English mariners of sufficient experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of India, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Times to the End of the Nineteenth Century India is the vast and varied Italy of Asia: a great promontory, imperfectly fenced on the north by a snowy highland, jutting southward into the ocean, with a detached island at its foot. Across the northern barrier invading hordes have poured in all ages, sometimes bringing rapine, sometimes conquest of a more or less beneficial kind. On the side of the sea the movement has been that of departure and emigration, traces of which are found not only in the adjacent island of Ceylon, but farther off, in Burma, Siam, and Cambodia, and in the islands of the Equatorial belt. Of these movements, however, we possess but an indirect record. The early inhabitants were too rude and savage; the early conquerors took to other paths of learning, but had no taste for history. It is thus that we are driven to the study of the map when we would learn anything of the remote past; and to found our historical edifice on the shifting basis of conjecture.

Download or read book Coming of Age in Nineteenth Century India written by Ruby Lal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-18 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engaging and eloquent history, Ruby Lal traces the becoming of nineteenth-century Indian women through a critique of narratives of linear transition from girlhood to womanhood. In the north Indian patriarchal environment, women's lives were dominated by the expectations of the male universal, articulated most clearly in household chores and domestic duties. The author argues that girls and women in the early nineteenth century experienced freedoms, eroticism, adventurousness and playfulness, even within restrictive circumstances. Although women in the colonial world of the later nineteenth century remained agential figures, their activities came to be constrained by more firmly entrenched domestic norms. Lal skillfully marks the subtle and complex alterations in the multifaceted female subject in a variety of nineteenth-century discourses, elaborated in four different sites - forest, school, household, and rooftops.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Ideas in India During the Nineteenth Century: A Study of Social, Political, and Religious Developments The substance of the following volume was delivered in the form of lectures in the Univer sities of Glasgow and Edinburgh during Session 1904 - 5. As Alexander Robertson lecturer in the University of Glasgow, the writer dealt with the new religious ideas that have been impressing themselves upon India during the British period of her history. As Gunning lecturer in the University of Edinburgh, the writer dwelt more upon the new social and political ideas. The popular belief of Hindu India is, that there are no new ideas in India, that nought in India suffers change, and that as things are, so they have always been. Even educated Indians are reluctant to admit that things have changed and that their community has had to submit to education and improvement - that suttee, for example, was ever an honoured institution in the province now most advanced. But to the observant student of the Indian people, the evolution of India is almost as noteworthy as the more apparent rigidity. There is a flowering plant common in Northern India, and.

Download or read book Colonizing the Realm of Words written by Sascha Ebeling and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2010-09-28 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true tour de force, this book documents the transformation of one Indian literature, Tamil, under the impact of colonialism and Western modernity. While Tamil is a living language, it is also India's second oldest classical language next to Sanskrit, and has a literary history that goes back over two thousand years. On the basis of extensive archival research, Sascha Ebeling tackles a host of issues pertinent to Tamil elite literary production and consumption during the nineteenth century. These include the functioning and decline of traditional systems in which poet-scholars were patronized by religious institutions, landowners, and local kings; the anatomy of changes in textual practices, genres, styles, poetics, themes, tastes, and audiences; and the role of literature in the politics of social reform, gender, and incipient nationalism. The work concludes with a discussion of the most striking literary development of the time—the emergence of the Tamil novel.

Download or read book Rulers of India Classic Reprint written by William Wilson Hunter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rulers of India This is the argument to the development of which I have devoted the following pages. The book seems to me naturally to divide itself into three parts. To Babar, as the developer of the idea of the invasion and conquest of India, I have devoted the first part. He was a remarkable man, and he would have been remarkable in any age. When he died, at the early age of forty-eight, he left behind him a record which may be read with interest and profit even at the close of this nineteenth century. It has seemed to me the more necessary to devote a considerable space to him inasmuch as the reader will not fail to discern, in the actions of the grandson, the spirit and energy and innate nobility of character of the grandfather. Of Humayun, whose life properly belongs to the first part, I have written as much only as seemed to me necessary to illustrate the cause of his fall, and to describe the early days of the hero Of the book, who was born in Sind, during the father's flight from India.

Download or read book Indian Life and People in the 19th Century written by J. P. Losty and published by . This book was released on 2019-09 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defining a distinct style of painting produced in India during the British period and influenced by European artistic norms, this catalogue of Company Paintings in the TAPI (Textiles & Art of the People of India) Collection is a unique illustration of the social milieu prevailing in India in the nineteenth century. Tracing the origins and evolution of this genre of painting, the volume shines a fresh beam on subjects commissioned to be painted by officials of the East India Company, such as occupations, customs, dress, bazaars, festivals and daily life of ordinary people, a world removed from the elite and princely environment that was the chosen subject of Indian miniature artists. The catalogue of the TAPI Collection of Company Paintings highlights works from the major regions where such paintings were produced - Murshidabad, Calcutta, Patna, Lucknow, Delhi, Punjab, Kutch, Tanjore, Trichinopoly, Madras, Kerala and the Andhra Coast. It comprises a rich and accurate record of the diverse modes of dress and manners of the people before the advent of photography. This catalogue documents the first-ever exhibition on the subject to be held in India, being a collaboration between TAPI and CSMVS (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, formerly the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India).

Download or read book Indian Nationality Classic Reprint written by R. N. Gilchrist and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Nationality The third dominating conception of the West is the conception of the Nation as the surest foundation for the organisation of the State; and the Nation we think of as a body of people bound together by such a multitude of common interests and common thoughts that they easily and naturally understand one another, that they are conscious of belonging together, ' that they readily accept and submit to a common body of laws and a social order, and that they will be ready, as if by instinct, to subordinate all merely sectional interests or ambitions to the common welfare in case of need. The patriotism of the Nation is for us the cement that holds the State together without the application or threat of brute force, which is always necessary in non national States. The conception of the Nation is the latest-born and also the least obvious and natural of the distinctive conceptions of western civilisation. It is quite modern in its development; the theory of it only began to be expounded in the nineteenth century. It is a mode of political organisation which has been unknown over the greater part of the earth's surface and during the greater part of human history; for it could not arise except in those societies in which the unifying conditions necessary for its existence had already grown up - a common or dominating language with the body of ideas which it conveys a sense of racial unity, or at least the absence of any fixed and formal barriers between one section of the community and another; a common body of fundamental ethical ideas; above all a common body of traditions, formed by a long habit of co-operation in success or in disaster. And these factors of nationhood do not naturally or inevitably grow up together. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
