Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Indian Sisters During the first twenty years of this latter half of the century female emancipation has most rapidly advanced, and I had the happiness of being acquainted more or less with some of the most active leaders of the movement. I left India with infinite regret, and with an undying interest in the people and their evangelization. I have always been ready to speak and write on these subjects, and not least on the status of women and their elevation. I have not been content with the knowledge I gained whilst in India, but ever since have read all that was within my reach on these questions, studied them, and noted whatever seemed to be of value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Indian Sisters The genesis of this book may briefly be explained. From the time I became a missionary in Calcutta, in 1848, a series of incidents led me to become deeply interested in the condition of Hindu women. For almost three years I resided with Dr. and Mrs. Mullens. He was an ardent missionary, a zealous worker, and possessed of a rare amount of missionary information.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Up the Country: Letters Written to Her Sister From the Upper Provinces of India We came into these lovely riant scenes on Sunday morning. They are a composition of low stunted trees, marsh, tigers and snakes, with a stream that sometimes looks like a very wide lake and then becomes so narrow that the jungle wood scrapes against the sides of the ﬂat - and this morning scraped away all G.'s jalousies, which are a great loss. I never saw such a desolate scene: no birds ﬂying about - there is no grain for them to eat. We have met only one native boat, which must have been there since the Deluge. Occasionally there is a bamboo stuck up with a bush tied to it, which is to recall the cheerful fact that there a tiger has carried off a man. None of our Hindus, though they are starving, will go on shore to cook - and, indeed, it would be very unsafe. It looks as if this bit of world had been left unfinished when land and sea were originally parted. The ﬂat is dreadfully hot at night; but not more uncomfortable than a boat must neces sarily be in this climate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing together the traditional recipes from different Indian cuisines, Sameen Rushdie’s invitation to share in the pleasures of Indian cookery is irresistible. In Hindustani a good cook is one that ‘has special taste in their hands’, and the author demonstrates her skill, knowledge and love of the food that is prepared and eaten in homes, bazaars and eating houses of the subcontinent. Bearing the needs of the modern cook firmly in mind, she explains her recipes in full, where the dishes originate, how to use spices, how to balance flavor, color and texture and offers suggestions for menus. Sameen offers a marvelous array of meat, poultry and fish dishes, together with vegetable creations which will give heart to cooks at the end of their vegetarian repertoire. She explains where to find fresh ingredients and how to store, prepare and use them, and makes it clear which recipes are most suitable for the end of a busy day. She takes up the cause of the potato with some sumptuous suggestions, describes the intrinsic part daals play in an Indian meal, gives tips for cooking chawal (rice) in pullao and biryani dishes and provides recipes for chapattis, parathas and pooris. There is an excellent introduction to spices; which explains their traditional groupings as well as their medicinal value, and a section on relishes, raitas and chutneys. Meethay—or sweet things—hold a special place in Indian cuisine and recipes for these from the elaborate to the simple are included. There is also a discussion of hot and cold drinks. Whatever your degree of experience in the kitchen, Sameen Rushdie offers not only clearly laid-out recipes, but a grasp of the actual thinking behind different cooking methods. Her menu plans and ideas about color, textures and flavors are a delight, and a meal prepared under engaging instruction will be a revelation to all who enjoy Indian cookery. Covering meat, poultry, and fish, as well as vegetables, chutneys, relishes and sweet dishes, Sameen Rushdie’s book will be a revelation to all those who enjoy Indian cookery.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Position of Women in Indian Life Wondered whether I could do anything to awaken my Indian sisters from their lethargy of ages, to enable them to take their proper place in Indian public life. I therefore tried to learn what I could from the Western systems - British, Continental and American - which came under my observation, feeling strongly that I owed it to my sisters in India to give them the benefit of the impressions gathered during my travels on matters peculiarly affecting the position of women. Some of the experience thus gained I was anxious to lay before my countrywomen, with a view to receive opinions and contributions from all parts of India, and with the hope that some of the Western organizations might be adapted to the conditions of my native land. But here I met with a great difficulty, which at first appeared almost insuperable. It is one thing to be impressed with the position of women in Western public life and with their useful organizations, but it is quite another thing to be able to convey such impressions to others who have not been out of India at all. Not only accurate information, direct and collateral, was wanted, but it was necessary to edit such facts carefully and in good style, with a view to Indian requirements and with particular refer ence to the Hindu caste system. I therefore saw at once that I needed the co-operation of an able and well-informed literary man, who could handle the subject with Special knowledge ao.

As for history, and all that kind of thing, I am really afraid of her, for my dates are always wrong. Well, you see, when her poor father married again, I adopted her for the sake of her mother, who was my dearest friend, besides being a relative; and I thought it my first duty to educate her so that she might one day be independent, if she pleased. Had she grown up plain, you know - and there was a time when she threatened it - I confess I could not have felt the same interest in her, and might not have seen my way to settling her desirably in life. DO you not think I acted wisely, Professor? Lady Junia paused, not quite understanding the look that passed across her listener's face. Your efforts have had an amazing success, Lady Junia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mission Work Among the Negroes and the Indians: What Is Being Accomplished by Means of the Annual Collection Taken Up for Our Missions No less urgent is our duty to the poor Red Man. It 15 sad 'dening to know that out of a total population of 27 0 000 Indians 1111 our country, more than 100, 000 are stillxlieatl1ens. It need not be so. The Indian can be led to love the Catholic Religion. To him the Black Robe comes as a messenger from heaven; he listens, we may say, to no other; the one bright page in his history is his improvement the inﬂuence of the Catholic priest; while there IS nothing so noble m the annals of America as the long story of the heroism of our missionaries among the Indians. Today, as in the past, we have many brave, apostolic men preaching the Gospel to them, while our sisters, no less zealously, devote their liv 135 to the training of the little ones. It Is a pamful, laborious life for priest and 111111; but perseverance and self denial Win their reward and today more than one-third of our Indian population is Catholic Yet the support of all these most useful schools and missions is maintained only with difficulty; and for lack of funds new schools and 1111s's1ons, just as urgently needed, cannot be created. More organized efforts are now being made, and much good may be hoped for from the Marquette League and the Society for the Preservation of the Faith among Indian Children, both of which we heartily endorse and recommend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joyful Star: Indian Stories for Camp Fire Girls In this collection of legends, my aim is to present to the reader a picture of the life and the ideals of the Indian maiden and mother as the;r are illustrated in the legends, folk-tales, and a few historical accounts from various tribes and nations of Indians in North and South America. The making of such a collection has proven a much more difficult piece of work than I had anticipated; but it has been most interesting and profitable. This work has opened wide a new world to me; it has filled me with respect and admiration for the Indian woman. It seems that the Indian woman is Wise, is brave, and withal is gentle, modest and affection ate: she is a devoted wife, living her life of labour with quiet cheerfulness: she is a tender mother, training her children with the most pre cise care, infusing into the minds of her young sons the ambition to become the bravest war riors, or the most skilled hunters, and educating her little daughters, from their very babyhood, to fill their place in the tribal life with the great est efficiency. From almost every phase of the Indian woman's life and experience, her white sister may learn lessons of inestimable value. With this thought, I am sending out these legends for the use of Camp Fire Girls and for all maidens who would turn aside for a time from the noisy highway, and follow the quiet trails through the forest, where once walked the Indian maiden with reverent love for the smallest ﬂower at her feet, for it, too, partook of the nature of the Great Spirit, who cared for his children of the forest.

This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout India and Southeast Asia, ancient classical epics—the Mahabharata and the Ramayana—continue to exert considerable cultural influence. Rethinking India's Oral and Classical Epics offers an unprecedented exploration into South Asia's regional epic traditions. Using his own fieldwork as a starting point, Alf Hiltebeitel analyzes how the oral tradition of the south Indian cult of the goddess Draupadi and five regional martial oral epics compare with one another and tie in with the Sanskrit epics. Drawing on literary theory and cultural studies, he reveals the shared subtexts of the Draupadi cult Mahabharata and the five oral epics, and shows how the traditional plots are twisted and classical characters reshaped to reflect local history and religion. In doing so, Hiltebeitel sheds new light on the intertwining oral traditions of medieval Rajput military culture, Dalits ("former Untouchables"), and Muslims. Breathtaking in scope, this work is indispensable for those seeking a deeper understanding of South Asia's Hindu and Muslim traditions. This work is the third volume in Hiltebeitel's study of the Draupadi cult. Other volumes include Mythologies: From Gingee to Kuruksetra (Volume One), On Hindu Ritual and the Goddess (Volume Two), and Rethinking the Mahabharata (Volume Four).
