Book Synopsis The Land of Seasons & Songs by : Sayed Athar Husain Naqvi
Download or read book The Land of Seasons & Songs written by Sayed Athar Husain Naqvi and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Land of Seasons and Songs is a flower basket of humor, acquainting with cultures and traditions and presenting logical discourses. It is recollection of the yesteryears with observations. It is a book of criticisms, punches, and reformative doses. The book reviews the present-day ills of the society and describes the culture de-grand of the subcontinent of India. It describes of its kings, feudalism, and genius of the peoples, and it sheds light on the world divisive politics as and when it deviates from the path of peace. It draws attention to the excellences of poetry that is a naturally flourishing trait in the subcontinent of India. The book presents the picture of India under the British rule and remembers of British with affection. The book is written in vivid English, and the profession of the book is eulogy of the pious and pleasing the soul of the reader. The central character of the book is Bachchu Yarwah Aekkewan—the horse and cart driver. With his peculiarities of commands, he generates to control his horse on the road, and his life as he leads in his village gives an insight into the Indian-ology—the Indian colloquialism of the region he lives in. The thoughts picked for the book are from the observations as factual as the fall of snow: Snow It is snowing outside Grass and ground are white Birds have only branches to peg on Or fly across to unknown bites This is nature; it has made everything quiet The men don’t walk; dogs not out to stride Unless you are secure in shelter will die End of world but will not come; time will continue to ride Sayed Athar Husain
Download or read book The Body and the Book written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stimulating mix of academics and practising poets that have contributed to this volume provides an unusual and illuminating integration of critical and creative practice and a vibrantly diverse approach to questions of poetry and sexuality. Each section of essays is complemented by poems which creatively illustrate or develop the theme with which the essays critically engage. Rather than being limited to a specific genre, tradition, time or place, this collection seeks to make a virtue of contrast, comparison and juxtaposition. The collection is arranged into sections that range broadly across the thematic ground of dichotomies, traditions and revisions, microscopic and macroscopic perspectives, women and embodiment, and the notion of play and performance. Positioning eighteenth-century tinkers ballads alongside medieval Hebrew lyrics and the Blues of Gorgeous Puddin’, or making Dionysus rub shoulders with Sharon Olds and Mrs Rochester provides new perspectives on familiar material and valuable insights into more obscure work and the nature of sensual poetry as a mode of expression. As the editors suggest, the essays and poems presented collectively argue that writings about sexuality are always already about the way poets see and represent our bodies, the world and poetic language itself.

Book Synopsis The Wonder That Is Urdu by : Krishna S. Dhir
Download or read book The Wonder That Is Urdu written by Krishna S. Dhir and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language is a Developmental, social and cultural phenomenon. When Urdu started its literary journey, writing also treasured it and today we are proud of the great collection of Urdu books. Urdu lovers have also done a remarkable job in writing books on various topics and in conveying the standard writings to the Urdu circles by giving them solid ink. This book although written in English, is one such masterpiece by Krishna S. Dhir. However, it clearly reflects the love of the writer for the Urdu language and its literature. The beginning of this book is an excellent illustration of how the various apabhransha of South Asia interacted with Perso-Arabic and European languages, to give rise to various languages, including Urdu and how they grew up through the time of the Mughals and the British. How all the major religions of the world originated in the Asian continent and the observation of Sufis are highlighted in the second chapter of this book. The role of social and economic institutions and traditions in the evolution of Urdu has been shed light upon. Krishna S. Dhir has painstakingly elaborated upon the protest literature and extensively quoted Mir, Ghalib, Daagh Dehlvi, Sahir Ludhianvi, Faiz Ahmad, Ahmad Fraz and other poets to prove how Urdu poetry has been used to protest against siege, raids, imprisonment, imperialism and colonisation, and to express love and peace. Finally, the writer explores how Urdu is deployed by the diaspora that uses it.
Book Synopsis Feminist Theory and the Aesthetics Within by : Anu Aneja
Download or read book Feminist Theory and the Aesthetics Within written by Anu Aneja and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-examines feminist theory through the lens of South Asian aesthetic conventions drawn from iconography, philosophy, Indo-Islamic mystic folk traditions and poetics. It discusses alternate fluid representations of gender and intersectional identities and interrelationships in some dominant as well as non-elite Indic aesthetic traditions. The book explores pre-Vedic sculptural and Indus terracotta iconographies, the classical aesthetic philosophy of rasa, mystic folk poetry of Bhakti and Sufi movements, and ghazal and Urdu poetics to understand the political dimension of feminist theory in India as well as its implications for trans-continental feminist aesthetics across South Asia and the West. By interlinking prehistoric, classical, medieval, premodern and contemporary aesthetic and literary traditions of South Asia through a gendered perspective, the book bridges a major gap in feminist theory. An interdisciplinary work, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of feminist theory, women’s studies, gender studies, art and aesthetics, philosophy, literature, cultural studies, queer studies, sexuality studies, political studies, sociology and South Asian studies.

Book Synopsis Coming of Age in Nineteenth-Century India by : Ruby Lal
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 eloquent history, Ruby Lal traces the lives of nineteenth-century Indian women in their transition from girlhood to maturity. In the north Indian patriarchal environment, women's lives were dominated by prescriptive household chores and domestic duties. What the book reveals, however, is that women in the early nineteenth century experienced greater freedoms, playfulness, and creativity than their counterparts in the more restricted colonial world at the end of the century.

Book Synopsis The World of Agha Shahid Ali by : Tapan Kumar Ghosh
Download or read book The World of Agha Shahid Ali written by Tapan Kumar Ghosh and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring essays by American, Indian, and British scholars, this collection offers critical appraisals and personal reflections on the life and work of the transnational poet Agha Shahid Ali (1949–2001). Though sometimes identified as an "Indian writer in English," Shahid came to designate himself as a Kashmiri-American writer in exile in the United States, where he lived for the latter half of his life, publishing seven volumes of poetry and teaching at colleges and universities across the country. Locating Shahid in a diasporic space of exile, the volume traces the poet's transnationalist attempts to bridge East and West and his movement toward a true internationalism. In addition to offering close formal analyses of most of Shahid's poems and poetry collections, the contributors also situate him in relation to both Western and subcontinental poetic forms, particularly the ghazal. Many also offer personal anecdotes that convey the milieu in which the poet lived and wrote, as well as his personal preoccupations. The book concludes with the poet's 1997 interview with Suvir Kaul, which appears in print here for the first time.
Download or read book The Vernacular written by Hans Harder and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the validity of the notion of the ‘vernacular’ and the position of the so-called ‘vernaculars’ in colonial and postcolonial settings. It addresses recent formulations and debates regarding the status of regional languages of South Asia in relation to English. The authors explore the range of meanings the term has assumed and trace a history of contestation since the colonial age. They contend that though the ‘vernacular’ in South Asia has, since the nineteenth century, often operated as a hegemonic category relegating the languages thus designated to an inferior status, those languages (and other cultural formations labelled as ‘vernacular’) have also received empowering impulses and vested with qualities like groundedness and strength. The book highlights the need for a critical discussion of the notion of the ‘vernacular’ in the context of the ongoing rise of Anglophonia in South Asia as a whole and post-liberalisation India in particular. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literary and culture studies, history, postcolonial studies, and South Asian studies.

Book Synopsis Between Love and Freedom by : Nikhil Govind
Download or read book Between Love and Freedom written by Nikhil Govind and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Love and Freedom interprets the figure of the revolutionary in the Hindi novel by establishing its lineage in representative Bengali novels, as well as in the contending moralities of Mahatma Gandhi and Bhagat Singh on the idea of violence. It reveals how conventional social realism and emergent modernist modes were brought together in the novelistic tradition by extending the political ideal of anti-colonial revolution into domains of sexual desire and subjective expression, especially in the works of Agyeya, Jainendra, and Yashpal. This work will deeply interest scholars and students of literature, modern Indian history, Hindi, and political science.
