Book Description
Excerpt from India on the March As a general rule it may be said that in the Indian languages the vowels are pronounced in the Italian manner rather than the English: i.e., like the vowels in do, re, mi, fa of the musical scale. There is a short, which is often found at the close of Indian words and sometimes elsewhere. It is pronounced like the a in board. Indian languages have no flat a as in at. The u is pronounced like the ou in soup. Spellings have been used which give as nearly as possible the English equivalents of consonants. Many Indian words have an aspirated letter which appears as bh, dh, th, etc. This is given an explosive pronunciation like the hh in ahhor. In the case of important Indian words in the text in which there are exceptions to these rules, a footnote shows the approximate pronunciation. Strong accent upon one or more syllables of a word is not so common in the Indian languages as in English. Each syllable is given very nearly the same weight in speaking the word. For common place names, a pronouncing gazetteer should be consulted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Narrative of a Three Months' March in India: And a Residence in the Dooab Most of the notes, as well as the drawings, were hastily made during the bustle and con fusion attendant upon marching, but they are faithful representations; and whilst the note book was the recipient of remarks and first impressions, the drawing pencil was ever the favourite companion of a more leisure hour. Should there appear, in any of her pages, the s'ightest tinge of acrimony, it will, she trusts, be attributed to its true source, viz. Regret at the sight of talents perverted, and time misapplied. That they are free from per sonal remarks she feels satisfied; and in the earnest hope that her volume may be the means of conveying entertainment to some, and offence to no one, she requires only good humour in its perusal, and lenity to those imperfections which the distractions attendant upon a nume rous family, and the faults of an inexperienced author, have necessarily induced.

Book Description
Excerpt from Russia's March Towards India, Vol. 1 In former years it used frequently to be said that a Russian attack on India was, if not impos sible, at all events, highly improbable, and some politicians even went so far as to scoff at the danger and declare that it was nothing but the phantasy of a disordered mind. I know not if any Englishmen still adhere to these optimistic opinions; but, if there be any, I trust that the following un varnished statement of Russian aggression will go far to convince them that a real danger does exist, and that the time has come when England can no longer place any reliance on Muscovite assurances, but must be prepared to resolutely oppose any further encroachments on the part of Russia.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Pilgrims' March: Their Messages Non-co-operation will be at an end; for, the? Cessation of repression will spell the defeat and abdication of the Reformed Government of India - it will spell Swaraj. It were therefore, rank hypocrisy 1n nationalists to Iprotest ever so; faintly against repression, or indeed to do anything but welcome it. It is a signpost on the pilgrims' road tostvamj telling them that the journey's end is in sight. The nation most emphatically does not desire the release of those leaders who have been imprisoned; nor do the leaders themselves Wish this until such release comes automatically w1th th'e abdication of' the Reformed Government of India in favour of a. Swamj Government. 'the most dangerous opponents of indian nationa'l freedom are not those Governors who like Lord Ronaldshay are filling the gaols with non-co operators, but those' Satraps who like Sir George Lloyd of Bombay, are resisting the temptation to play into Mahatma Gandhi' s and the natio'n' 8 hands.

Book Description
In 1902 The Gramophone Company in London sent out recording experts on "expeditions" across the world to record voices from different cultures and backgrounds. All over India, it was women who embraced the challenge of overcoming numerous social taboos and aesthetic handicaps that came along with this nascent technology. Women who took the plunge and recorded largely belonged to the courtesan community, called tawaifs and devadasis, in North and South India, respectively. Recording brought with it great fame, brand recognition, freedom from exploitative patrons, and monetary benefits to the women singers. They were to become pioneers of the music industry in the Indian sub-continent. However, despite the pioneering role played by these women, their stories have largely been forgotten. Contemporaneous with the courtesan women adapting to recording technology was the anti-nautch campaign that sought to abolish these women from the performing space and brand them as common prostitutes. A vigorous renaissance and arts revival movement followed, leading to the creation of a new classical paradigm in both North Indian (Hindustani) and South Indian (Carnatic) classical music. This resulted in the standardization, universalization, and institutionalization of Indian classical music. This newly created classical paradigm impacted future recordings of The Gramophone Company in terms of a shift in genres and styles. Vikram Sampath sheds light on the role and impact of The Gramophone Company’s early recording expeditions on Indian classical music by examining the phenomenon through a sociocultural, historical and musical lens. The book features the indefatigable stories of the women and their experiences in adapting to recording technology. The artists from across India featured are: Gauhar Jaan of Calcutta, Janki Bai of Allahabad, Zohra Bai of Agra, Malka Jaan of Agra, Salem Godavari, Bangalore Nagarathnamma, Coimbatore Thayi, Dhanakoti of Kanchipuram, Bai Sundarabai of Pune, and Husna Jaan of Banaras.

Book Description
The ancient Tamil poetic corpus of the Caṅam ("The Academy") is a national treasure for Tamilians and a battle-ground for linguists and historians of politics, culture and literature. Going back to oral predecessors probably dating back to the beginning of the first millennium, it has had an extremely rich and variegated history. Collected into anthologies and endowed with literary theories and voluminous commentaries, it became the centre-piece of the Tamil literary canon, associated with the royal court of the Pandya dynasty in Madurai. Its decline began in the late middle ages, and by the late 17th century it had fallen into near oblivion, before being rediscovered at the beginning of the print era. The present study traces the complex historical process of its transmission over some 2000 years, using and documenting a wide range of sources, in particular surviving manuscripts, the early prints, the commentaries of the literary and grammatical traditions and a vast range of later literature that creates a web of inter-textual references and quotations.

Book Description
Excerpt from Howrah The deep channel alternates from left to right and vice cersa according to the windings of the river, except where deflected by the large tributaries which debouch into it at the southern limit of this district. Proceeding from Howrah Bridge, the deep channel runs on the Calcutta side in the Calcutta Reach past the Fort and Kidderpore to Garden Reach. At Rajganj, Opposite Hangman Point, it crosses over to the Howrah Side, and follows the Sankrail Reach as far as Melancholy (menikhali) Point. It then zigzags from left to right at each bend.

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer. Was the light infallible? Was the claim to it an assumption of spiritual exaltation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
