Indian Art
Author: Partha MitterPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780192842213
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
This concise yet lively new survey guides the reader through 5,000 years of Indian art and architecture. A rich artistic tradition is fully explored through the Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Colonial, and contemporary periods, incorporating discussion of modern Bangladesh and Pakistan, tribal artists, and the decorative arts. Combining a clear overview with fascinating detail, Mitter succeeds in bringing to life the true diversity of Indian culture. The influence of Islam on the Mughal court, which produced the world-famous Taj Mahal and exquisite miniature paintings, is closely examined. More recently, he discusses the nationalist and global concerns of contemporary art, including the rise of female artists, the stunning architecture of Charles Correa, and the vibrant art scene. The very particular character of Indian art is set within its cultural and religious milieu, raising important issues about the profound differences between Western and Indian ideas of beauty and eroticism in art.
The Great Indian Novel
Author: Shashi TharoorPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1628721596
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
In this award-winning novel, Tharoor has masterfully recast the two-thousand-year-old epic, The Mahabharata, with fictional but highly recognizable events and characters from twentieth-century Indian politics. Nothing is sacred in this deliciously irreverent, witty, and deeply intelligent retelling of modern Indian history and the ancient Indian epic The Mahabharata. Alternately outrageous and instructive, hilarious and moving, it is a dazzling tapestry of prose and verse that satirically, but also poignantly, chronicles the struggle for Indian freedom and independence.
The History of India

Pages : 574
Book Description
Excerpt from A d104-Book of Indian History: With Geographical Notes, Genealogical Tables, Examination Questions, and Chronological, Biographical, Geographical, and General Indexes This book is strictly a manual for students, and everything has been sacrificed to the one object of making it thoroughly useful in this way. The author has long been engaged in educational pursuits in India, and has had considerable experience of the requirements of the Indian Universities; and he has aimed chiefly at producing such a manual as might be sufficient for those who are preparing for these University Examinations. Even for others, however, it may be found useful, as containing a carefully digested epitome of the subject. The difficulty of bringing so wide a subject within convenient limits has been very great; hence the author has felt it necessary, in general, to omit anecdotes and details of sieges and battles, and to say what he had to say in the fewest possible words. It is to be hoped that those who use this text-book will be induced to read for themselves the very excellent works in which almost everything connected with Indian history is to be found. The chief of these are indicated below. The writer has made use of them freely; while he has tried to go to the very sources of information where he could do so, he advances no claim to originality.
