Book Description
In the history of Colonial Andhra Zamindars played a crucial and prominent role. As some of them were 'feudal despots' we may criticize the nature and character of their role in the colonial era. Yet we cannot neither minimize nor ignore the part played by them during 'those' centuries of foreign rule. The significant fact that must be noted in this connection is that there was a radical transformation in the nature, attitude and thinking of the zamindars from the second half of the Nineteenth century. Coming under the influence of British education, british administration and modern thought many of them began to cultivate a sense of responsibility to the society and the people. They began to involve themselves in public activities and to encourage public organizations.
Courtly Encounters
Author: Sanjay SubrahmanyamPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674071689
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Cross-cultural encounters in Europe and Asia in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries brought the potential for bafflement, hostility, and admiration. The court was the crucial site where expanding Eurasian states and empires met and were forced to make sense of one another. By looking at these interactions, Courtly Encounters provides a fresh cross-cultural perspective on the worlds of early modern Islam, Counter-Reformation Catholicism, Protestantism, and a newly emergent Hindu sphere. Both individual agents and objects such as texts and paintings helped mediate encounters between courts, which possessed rules and conventions that required decipherment and translation, whether in words or in pictures. Sanjay Subrahmanyam gives special attention to the depiction of South Asian empires in European visual representations, finding a complex history of cultural exchange: the Mughal paintings that influenced Rembrandt and other seventeenth-century Dutch painters had themselves been earlier influenced by Dutch naturalism. Courtly Encounters provides a rich array of images from Europe, the Islamic world, India, and Southeast Asia as aids for understanding the reciprocal nature of cross-cultural exchanges. It also looks closely at how insults and strategic use of martyrdom figured in courtly encounters. As he sifts through the historical record, Subrahmanyam finds little evidence for the cultural incommensurability many ethnohistorians have insisted on. Most often, he discovers negotiated ways of understanding one another that led to mutual improvisation, borrowing, and eventually change.
