Book excerpt: No country in the world is blessed with a greater variety of forms in music, dance and theatre than ours. One of the theatre forms generally described as folk but possessing a strong classical connection is the Yakshagana. Although the name signifies the music of celestial beings, Yakshagana is an amalgam of the sky with the earth. There is both mystery and robustness about this form in which singing and drumming merge with dancing, and words with gestural interpretation, and players clad m costumes of striking colour and contours. It is the cherished cultural possession of the coastal districts of Karnataka. Dr. K.S. Karanth is the foremost living authority on Yakshagana and has been working on all its aspects, namely—dance, music, and literature, since 1930. He has led the way to a deep and systematic study of this art form. He has spent decades travelling to remote villages within Karnataka to inspect and study every Yakshagana manuscript, the earliest going back to A.D. 1651. With his fine literary judgement and aesthetic sensibility, he has traced the changing trends in the performance of Yakshagana. He has interacted with hundreds of Yakshagana artistes to find out what customs in training and interpretation had prevailed earlier and had fallen into disuse and deserved to be resuscitated. He has put together his findings in the shape of two standard books YakshaganaBayalata (1958) in Kannada, and Yakshagana in Kannada and English (1975). The present volume is a revised edition of the earlier book, with additional material and illustrations. It is hoped that the book will provide valuable insights into one of the most attractive and dynamic art forms of our land, as well as into a penetrative mind.

Download or read book A Shrine for Sarasamma written by Kota Shivarama Karanth and published by Manipal Universal Press. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Shrine for Sarasamma is the English translation of Sarasammana Samadhi written by K Shivarama Karanth in 1937, in his early thirties. It offers one of the most authentic and searing accounts of Indian womanhood, which consistently, and through the ages, has suffered deep anguish, humiliation and crushing insult from the oppressive patriarchal culture prevalent in all parts of India and among all castes and classes. The novel is a classic in Kannada and the English translation is an attempt to bring to the English reading audience a taste of the regional classic.

Book excerpt: Jugari Cross is a suspense thriller woven around the everyday incidents that occur with an ordinary farming couple's life. The story set within 24 hours is not just a typical suspense thriller with a trace of history and a literary quest, but enormously stimulates the reader to analyze the broader spectrum of philosophy, literature, and the principles of global economies established around us. I hope the reader community will appreciate how this suspense thriller gives the glimpses of nature, ecology, social reforms, literature, global/local economies, and many more social dimensions.

Book excerpt: Folk Culture, The Perennial Substratum Of The Sophisticated Metropolitan Culture, Takes Many Lively And Colourful Forms. This Is Particularly True In India. This Book Is A Study Of One Such Expression Of The Folk Culture Obtained In South Kanara, India. It Is Not One Of Those Dry Academic Studies Usually Made By Foreign Scholars. For The Authors, The Book Has Been A Passionate Involvement In A Traditional Art Form Yakshagana. The American Authors Have Put Down Their Experience With The Hope That The Reader Will Enjoy An Imaginary Trip To South Kanara, A Walk Through The Fields And A Thrilling Night Of Yakshagana. In A Lively Style, This Book Brings Home To The Readers Almost Everything About This Particular Form Of Dance-Drama, The Music, Dance Costumes And Make-Up And Impromptu Dialogue As Well As Its Literature On Which The Dramatic Themes Are Based, The Rituals Performed Before, During, And After The Drama, The Organization Of A Troupe, The Existing Troupes, And The Training Of The Performers. With Nineteen Four-Colour Reproductions, Twenty-Tree Black-And-White Illustrations And Eighteen Line Drawings, Yakshagana Has Something To Offer To Each Of Its Readers. For Those Trained In Music There Is The Style Of Singing And Rhythms Peculiar To Yakshagana. And Those Who Are Learned In Poetry, Religious Epics And Legends Can Revel In The Beauty Of The Poetry, And Those Who Have A Sense Of Colour And Design Can Be Enchanted By The Costumes And Make-Up. The Readers Will Vicariously Experience The Intricate Steps Of The Dance, Not To Be Seen In Any Other Indian Dance Forms, Yet They Are Characteristically Indian. Yakshagana, As Experienced By The Authors, Reveals The Deeper Meanings Of The Indian Epics And Legends Through The Extempore Dialogue Of The Performers. Their Descriptions Of The Risqué Humour Of The Buffoon And His Comic Movements Come Alive Before The Readers. Here Is A Point Of Departure For More Study In New Directions, Valuable To The Students Of Arts And Folk Culture, And Yet Tempting The General Readers With Its Rich Fare Of Aesthetic And Intellectual Experiences. Yakshagana Is Tempting To The Booklover In Many Other Ways: The Subject Of The Book Has Been Presented And Decorated By One Of The Famous Indian Artists K.K. Hebbar, And Introduced By C. Sivaramamurti, A Noted Historian And Archaeologist Whose Deep Knowledge In Inconography Has Made Rich Contributions To The Study And Understanding Of The Ancient And Medieval Visual Arts In This Country.

Book excerpt: It Is A Transformation Of An Ancient Legend Into A Modern Novel. In This Process, It Has Gained Rational Credibility And A Human Perspective. The Main Incident, The Bharata War, Symbolic Of The Birthpangs Of A New World-Order, Depicts A Heroic But Vain Effort To Arrest The Disintegration And Continue The Prevailing Order. It Is Viewed From The Stand Points Of The Partisan Participants And Judged With Reference To The Objective Understanding Of Krishna. Narration, Dialogue, Monologue And Comment All Are Employed For Its Presentation. Shot Through With Irony, Pity And Understanding Objectivity, The Novel Ends With The True Tragic Vision Of Faith In Life And Hope For Mankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor K S Nisar Ahmed (b 1936) is a geologist by profession and a major writer in Kannada. His first collection of poems, Manasu Gandhi Bazar (“My Mind is like Gandhi Bazar”) was published in 1960, and since then he has published poetry (15 collections), prose (five collections), and translations from Shakespeare and Neruda. He has been honoured with many awards, including “Padmashri”, Honorary D Litt (Kuvempu University), and Pampa Prashasti (Karnataka Government).

The 13 translators of the poems in this volume include K Ramanujan, V K Gokak and Tejaswini Niranjana.

Book excerpt: This book is a fascinating and wholly absorbing contribution to the history of the twentieth century. This fast-moving, lively and independent account of the politics and international affairs is enriched by intimate, perceptive and far from uncritical sketches of great leaders such as Gandhi, Jinnah, Nehru, Desai and Patel. Perhaps no other book reminds the reader so firmly that politics, even at its most exalted and dramatic, is about people. Certainly no one who is interested in India, in the history of British imperialism or in the realities of present day Asia can neglect this goldmine of a book.

Book excerpt: The vanished world of India’s late-colonial theatre provides the backdrop for the autobiographies in this book. The life-stories of a quartet of early Indian actors and poet-playwrights are here translated into English for the first time. These men were schooled not in the classroom but in large theatrical companies run by Parsi entrepreneurs. Their memoirs, replete with anecdote and humor, are as significant to the understanding of the nationalist era as the lives of political leaders or social reformers.

Download or read book Samskara written by U. R. Anantha Murthy and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Made into a powerful, award-winning film in 1970, this important Kannada novel of the sixties has received widespread acclaim from both critics and general readers since its first publication in 1965. As a religious novel about a decaying brahmin colony in the south Indian village of Karnataka, Samskara serves as an allegory rich in realistic detail, a contemporary reworking of ancient Hindu themes and myths, and a serious, poetic study of a religious man living in a community of priests gone to seed. A death which stands as the central event in the plot brings in its wake a plague, many more deaths, live questions with only dead answers, moral chaos, and the rebirth of one man. The volume provides a useful glossary of Hindu myths, customs, Indian names, flora, and other terms. Notes and an afterword enhance the self-contained, faithful, and yet readable translation.

Book excerpt: About the Book THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ONE OF THE GREATEST KANNADA WRITERS. Karanth, Kuvempu, Bendre—the trinity of modern Kannada literature; the pride of Kannadigas; … It was Shivarama Karanth who took the culture of Karnataka beyond the shores of India with his dance and music. After Rabindranath Tagore, no one had mastered as many art forms as Shivarama Karanth. —From the Foreword by Dr Chiranjiv Singh, former Indian ambassador to UNESCO Kota Shivarama Karanth was the ultimate Renaissance Man. A giant of world literature, he produced dozens of novels, plays, children’s works, autobiographies, popular science books, translations and much else. In 1977, he was awarded the Bharatiya Jnanpith Award for the novel Mookajjiya Kanasugalu. But Karanth was more than a writer. He also dabbled in journalism and movie-making, ran a publishing house, and campaigned for environmental and political causes. He was instrumental in transforming the ancient dance-drama form of Yakshagana for a modern audience. While a great deal has been written about the man and his genius, there is little material about the intimate details of his life. Through much of his creative career, for instance, Karanth was unflinchingly supported by his wife, Leela. The Karanths had four children. The eldest, Harsha, died in 1961. The other three, Malavika, Ullas and Kshama, come together to present this uniquely personal account of what it was like to be the children of a creative genius. Growing Up Karanth documents their 'rare privilege' , while also detailing the world of Shivarama Karanth through their eyes. Multilayered and nuanced, critical and affectionate, and filled with revelations that open up new facets of their father's life, Malavika, Ullas and Kshamla reveal Karanth and his times like no one else could have.

Heart-in-the-mouth situation for a moment but the batsman there pulled out a trick that he had camouflaged all this while! This is gonna get done easily from this point onwards we reckon. Three in three. In comes the bowler. Play and a miss! Just did enough to literally kiss the edge. Three in two now. Running in hard…Yet another jaffa! The tide clearly in favour of the fielding side now! What a great leveller cricket is. The batsmen had it under control a couple of deliveries ago and now for the last one. Got him! The wickets are cartwheeling. That’s that. The atmosphere is electric. Crowd ecstatic! Hearts pumping and the one who held his nerve under the pressure cooker scenario came out victorious! Life’s not too different. It’s a lot like sports. You’ve got it under control on most occasions. But you never know when the tide’s pulling back. Out of the Park is a book that demonstrates the mindset of a sportsperson and encourages you to think like one through anecdotes and life lessons learned from popular cricketers, administrators, coaches and support staff alike from the world of cricket. It shows you how to be prepared to be on top of your game every single time. Because the ones around are playing to win as well. It highlights the importance of coming out of one’s comfort zone and treating winning and losing in the same breath. For staying calm under adversity helps tremendously whether in sports or in life.
