Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reminiscing memories all the way from one's childhood, both the moments of joy and that of despair, are intricately woven into almost every individual's nostalgic yet romanticized get-away back in time, throughout the trajectory of their lives. The simplicity of villagers and their irreproachable behavioral pattern towards matters of pecuniary nature is again well brought out through several incidents fondly recalled Author during his tenure as the Village Head (Local Government Head). Furthermore, poverty and illiteracy, the root cause of under-development and oppression in several villages across the country, have been asserted in the book as catalysts for superstitious practices prevalent among community members in Lehal hamlet, Punjab. The abhorrent practice of casting out supposed spirits from people to cure their ailments, in the name of alternate medicine, is rightfully gauged as emanating from people's struggle with poverty and lack of access to education, which is what most villages in India today grapple with, owing to paucity of political will and bureaucratic apathy. Professor Chhina's emotive anamnesis of this period during his childhood, in Sargodha (Pakistan) and Lehal (Punjab, India), will distinctly strike resonance with those who lived through that phase in time, both in India and across the border. It is in this literary milieu, that the reader is poised to be mesmerized all through the book. Today, for many people especially the sexagenarians and above living in the sub-continent, pacing their way through complexities of contemporary lifestyles, drawing of memories from their respective villages is marked by a spirit of effervescence that is quite often than not, quintessential to their very character and existentialism.

Book excerpt: A New Republic Editors' and Writers' Pick 2012 A New Yorker Contributors' Pick 2012 A Newsweek "Must Read on Modern India" “For people who savored Katherine Boo’s Behind the Beautiful Forevers.”—Evan Osnos, newyorker.com From the author of Better To Have Gone, a portrait of the incredible change and economic development of modern India, and of social and national transformation there told through individual lives Raised in India, and educated in the U.S., Akash Kapur returned to India in 2003 to raise a family. What he found was an ancient country in transition. In search of the life that he and his wife want to lead, he meets an array of Indians who teach him much about the realities of this changed country: an old landowner sees his rural village destroyed by real estate developments, and crime and corruption breaking down the feudal authority; a 21-year-old single woman and a 35-year-old divorcee exploring the new cultural allowances for women; and a young gay man coming to terms with his sexual identity – something never allowed him a generation ago. As Akash and his wife struggle to find the right balance between growth and modernity and the simplicity and purity they had known from the Indian countryside a decade ago, they ultimately find a country that “has begun to dream.” But also one that may be moving away too quickly from the valuable ways in which it is different.
Download or read book India written by Fritz Blackwell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-06-10 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An all-encompassing and engrossing look at India—a land as diverse as its religions and as vibrant as its vast population. With a population second only to China's and the birthplace of Hinduism and Buddhism, it is hard to dispute India's central role in both the history of Asian culture and in the defining position it enjoys today. Although India has grabbed media attention for its armed conflict with Pakistan, it is a nation perhaps more notable for its internal diversity and challenges than for a single external conflict. India: A Global Studies Handbook unites the geography, history, culture, notable people, and events into a wide-ranging yet concise work that brings this fascinating land to the page. Of interest to academic and general audiences, this volume presents an uncomplicated look at the varied, bustling nation of India. From geography that includes the Himalayas to a cultural fabric built upon the often-criticized caste system, India remains a land of mystery and intrigue.

Many of the unique gifts Catlin received over the years from these remote peoples formed the basis for a vast, important collection which Catlin loaned to the world's biggest museums, together with his portraits.
