Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE DUFF COOPER MEMORIAL PRIZE | LONGLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE 'Indispensable reading on both India and the Empire' Daily Telegraph 'Brims with life, colour and complexity . . . outstanding' Evening Standard 'A compulsively readable masterpiece' Brian Urquhart, The New York Review of Books A stunning and bloody history of nineteenth-century India and the reign of the Last Mughal. In May 1857 India's flourishing capital became the centre of the bloodiest rebellion the British Empire had ever faced. Once a city of cultural brilliance and learning, Delhi was reduced to a battered, empty ruin, and its ruler – Bahadur Shah Zafar II, the last of the Great Mughals – was thrown into exile. The Siege of Delhi was the Raj's Stalingrad: a fight to the death between two powers, neither of whom could retreat. The Last Mughal tells the story of the doomed Mughal capital, its tragic destruction, and the individuals caught up in one of the most terrible upheavals in history, as an army mutiny was transformed into the largest anti-colonial uprising to take place anywhere in the world in the entire course of the nineteenth century.

Book Synopsis Islam in South Asia: Encountering the West : before and after 1857 by : Mushirul Hasan
Download or read book Islam in South Asia: Encountering the West : before and after 1857 written by Mushirul Hasan and published by Manohar Publishers and Distributors. This book was released on 2008 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the second in the series Islam in South Asia, introduces certain aspects of India's response to the West. It also includes travel literature which is becoming increasingly important, because cultural theorists treat them as serious little jigsaw puzzles of ethnography, anthropology and social and cultural history. Our contention is that while scholars in the West engage in constructing their epistemology of Islam, it is about time Muslim scholars start constructing their own epistemology of the West by turning to the travel documents that carry us into the wider world and often possess a penetrating quality in them. This volume includes the travelogue of Mirza Abu Taleb, the pioneer travel writer, and Lutfullah. As India celebrates the 150th anniversary of the 1857 Revolt, this collection of published essays include some seminal writings by Sayyid Ahmed Khan, the Aligarh reformer, Mirza Ghalib, the Urdu poet, Fazl-i-Haq Khairabadi, the scholar, and Abdul Halim Sharar, the essayist-novelist from Lucknow. Together they capture the trauma of an era. They are essential readings for the understanding of an important era.

Book Synopsis Birthplace with Buried Stones by : Meena Alexander
Download or read book Birthplace with Buried Stones written by Meena Alexander and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With their intense lyricism, Meena Alexander's poems convey the fragmented experience of the traveler, for whom home is both everywhere and nowhere. The landscapes she evokes, whether walking a city street or reading Bashō in the Himalayas, hold echoes of otherness. Place becomes a palimpsest, composed of layer upon layer of memory, dream, and desire. There are poems of love and poems of war, the rippling effects of violence and dislocation, of love and its aftermath. The poems in Birthplace with Buried Stones range widely over time and place, from Alexander's native India to New York City. Uniquely attuned to life in a globalized world, Alexander's poetry is an apt guide, bringing us face to face with the power of a single moment and its capacity to evoke the unseen and unheard." -- back cover.

Book Synopsis Coleridge and Hinduism by : Antonella Riem Natale
Download or read book Coleridge and Hinduism written by Antonella Riem Natale and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book extensively investigates Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s profound ties with the Oriental Tales he read throughout his life, from a philosophical, poetical and metaphysical point of view. It is the only comprehensive and dedicated study on how Hindu works, in particular Charles Wilkins’s first translation of the Bhagavadgītā into English (1785), influenced Coleridge’s poetic imagination, affecting all his writings, his poetry above all. In analysing Coleridge’s quest for what he calls the “One life”, the author’s wish is that readers may find some “joyance” in reading this book, and feel inspired to go deeper into the anāhata nāda, the unstruck sound of the heart, fully enjoying the subtle inner resonances of Coleridge’s poetic word.
