Book Description
Excerpt from A Short History of Indian Literature WE may be allowed to congratulate ourselves that we live at a time when the long-drawn conflict of man to win a mastery over Nature seems to be on the turning-point towards victory. The time may, in a sense, he still called the age of steam, though it is passing into the age of the forces that will conquer steam. But the crash of machinery, even the clang of the tram-car or the whiz of the on-coming motor, need not deaden our perception of other sounds, that make perhaps less noise in the world, but are none the less a token of the presence of forces more potent and more enduring than even the conquerors of steam.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Indian Literature The obtaining of critical data from the contents of Indian literature, with a view to the establishment of its internal chronology and history - not the setting forth in detail of the subject-matter of the different works - was, from the beginning, the object I had before me in these lectures; and this object, together with that of specifying the publi cations which have seen the light in the interval, has con tinned to be my leading point of view in the present annotation of them. To mark off the new matter, square brackets are used.1' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
In recent years American readers have been thrilling to the work of such Indian writers as Salman Rushdie and Vikram Seth. Now this extravagant and wonderfully discerning anthology unfurls the full diversity of Indian literature from the 1850s to the present, presenting today’s brightest talents in the company of their distinguished forbearers and likely heirs. The thirty-eight authors collected by novelist Amit Chaudhuri write not only in English but also in Hindi, Bengali, and Urdu. They include Rabindranath Tagore, arguably the first international literary celebrity, chronicling the wistful relationship between a village postal inspector and a servant girl, and Bibhuti Bhushan Banerjee, represented by an excerpt from his classic novel about an impoverished Bengali childhood, Pather Panchali. Here, too, are selections from Nirad C. Chaudhuri’s Autobiography of an Unknown Indian, R. K. Narayan’s The English Teacher, and Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children alongside a high-spirited nonsense tale, a drily funny account of a pre-Partition Muslim girlhood, and a Bombay policier as gripping as anything by Ed McBain. Never before has so much of the subcontinent’s writing been made available in a single volume.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Hindi Literature In the last stage of the Prakrits, before the modern Indo-Aryan languages developed from them, they are known as Apabhramaas, These are the direct parents of the modern vernaculars of North India, namely, Hindi, Punjabi, Marathi, etc., which came into existence somewhere about 1000 a.d., though the date differs considerably in the case of different languages. These modern languages are no longer synthetic but analytic. Hindi. - It is most important to understand clearly what we mean by Hindi, as the word is often used ambiguously. It is often, for instance, applied in a loose sense to the vernacular speech of the whole of North India between the Punjab and Sindh on the West, and Bengal on the East. But the philological researches of scholars, such as Sir George Grierson, have shown that there are really four chief languages in this area, namely, Rajasthani, Western Hindi, Eastern Hindi, and Bihari, each having a different parentage. Bihari really belongs to a group of languages of which Bengali is another member. Western Hindi is closely connected in origin with Panjabi. The word Hindi is also often used to denote modern literary High Hindi in contradistinction to Urdu; but both High Hindi and Urdu were, as will be shown below, developed from a dialect of Western Hindi. Hindustani (or Hindostan!) is also a name used sometimes to denote the vernaculars of all Hindustan, that is the country between the Punjab and Sindh and Bengal, but is also sometimes used to mean the simpler speech which is the lingua franca of modern India, and of which both Urdu and High Hindi are literary developments.
