    Debjani Paul RAMAYANA EPISODES IN HIMACHAL PAINTINGS: THE LEIDEN COLLECTION PAINTINGS As it has been throughout the ages elsewhere in South and South-East Asia, Ramayana, the famous epic extolling the heroic acts of the ‘ideal' King Rama, also enjoyed quite some popularity among the masses in a large tract of the Western Himalayan foothills.1 Nowhere in this region is it more tangible than in the miniature paintings of the former Punjab Hill States, now known as Himachal Pradesh in India. From the 17th to the 19th century, painting was a common enough accomplishment in the majority of the principalities between Basohli in the west to Kulu in the east. Most notable among them were Kangra and Chamba where well-known episodes from the Rama epic received much attention of skillful court artists and their devout patrons. HIMACHAL Among the modest holding of Indian Art in the Museum Volkenkunde (National Museum of Ethnology) in Leiden there is an as yet little-known group of Ramayana illustrations of Chamba-Kangra origin. These miniatures IN form a substantial part of the ‘Vogel Collection’ which was acquired by the museum nearly half a century ago.2 During his prolonged stay in India the outstanding Dutch scholar, J.Ph. Vogel (1871-1958), made several trips to both Chamba and Kangra. While doing his extensive 1902-1908 archaeological fieldwork in the Ravi and Beas valleys, Vogel was able to collect pieces for which people at that time cared very little.3 The Ramayana illustrations in the museum consist of 21 leaves. Other than a rather exceptional example which is indeed embellished with multiple colours, the rest are virtually all monochrome line-drawings.

  • AVL and TRIE Look up Time in Implementation of Dogri Spell Checker Shubhnandan S
    ë b W5 L C ' ' ' () (( AVL and TRIE Look Up time in Implementation of Dogri Spell Checker Shubhnandan S. Jamwal PG Department of Computer Science and IT, University of Jammu, Jammu [email protected] Abstract: In this paper look up time of the word in the Dogri dictionary are presented. The dictionary has been implemented and tested for different set of sizes. AVL tree and Trie data structure for English dictionary have been modified to suit the non-linear nature of Dogri. A comparison is made is to determine which data structure gives the best performance, in terms of look up time. We have implemented two data structures i.e. AVL and Trie for Dogri dictionary of approx 2000 words. The results reveals that the AVL data structure takes more time in finding the word for the Dogri dictionary. Keywords: Dogri, Spellchecker, Suggestion List, Tokens, Dictionary. Introduction Spellcheckers are the basic tools needed for word processing and document preparation. Till now there is no spell checker tool available for the Dogri language. In this paper we have implemented the spell checker for Dogri language based on the existing design [1]. Designing a spell checker for Dogri language poses many new challenges not found in other western languages. Dogri language is far different from Western languages in phonetic properties and grammatical rules. Thus the existing algorithms and techniques that are being used to check the spelling and to generate efficient suggestions for mis-spelt words of English and other Western languages are not actually suitable for Dogri and most of the Indian Languages; rather it needs different algorithms and techniques for expected efficiency.

  • Pahari Paintings from the Eva and Konrad Seitz Collection
    PAHARI PAINTINGS FROM THE EVA AND KONRAD SEITZ COLLECTION part two francesca galloway ww.francescagalloway.com 1 2 The mountainous regions of northern India, historically divided into many small Rajput kingdoms, produced some of the most lyrical expressions of devotional and earthly love in Indian painting. This has always been Eva and Konrad Seitz’s passion. In this exhibition we primarily focus on Kangra, along with its major patrons and their religious and secular pursuits. Highlights include paintings from the ‘Tehri Garhwal’ and the ‘Lambagraon’ Gita Govinda, as well as rare portraits of Sansar Chand and his family. Vijay Sharma has identified a date equivalent to AD 1688 on the reverse of our Ragamala painting attributed to the circle of Devidasa at Nurpur or Basholi. This is an exciting discovery given the paucity of securely dated Basholi paintings. The collection of Eva and Konrad Seitz contains important examples from the different phases of Pahari painting, and is especially rich in Guler and Kangra paintings from the second half of the 18th century. This second and last selection from their collection (the first having been offered in London in autumn 2016) offers another opportunity to see an outstanding private collection of paintings. These two exhibitions will be followed by a book of the complete Eva and Konrad Seitz Pahari collection, written by the eminent authority on Indian painting J.P. Losty. The publication will be designed by Misha Anikst and published in London in June 2017 by Francesca Galloway. www.francescagalloway.com 3 4 1 Ragini Suhavi, wife of Megha raga Page from a Ragamala series Circle of Devidasa, Nurpur or Basohli, c.

  • Translation of Shanta Kumar's Lajjo As an Antidote to the Noxious
    Translation of Shanta Kumar’s Lajjo as an Antidote to the Noxious Excesses of Postcolonial Writings SUMAN SHARMA ―I will have to write my English after all—and how soon we forget it-is an Indo-Aryan tongue. Thus to stretch the English idiom to suit my needs seemed heroic enough for my urgent most demands. The Irish, remember, have done it (…) so why not Sanskrit (or if you will, be Indian) English?‖ -Raja Rao Abstract By explaining the source culture for international audiences in their creations, the postcolonial writers not only recognize the superiority of English, they also betray their native audiences. In spite of the best efforts by these writers, their writings construct the native identities from a Eurocentric perspective. Regional literatures on the contrary, emerge out from an altogether different position. Hence, these literatures have the power to challenge the dominance of colonial as well as postcolonial writings. The translation of such native literature into the metropolitan language, significantly alters the syntactic and semantic fields of the target language. Shanta Kumar’s Lajjo, is a Pahari Hindi text and is representative of contemporary regional life. This paper will explore as to how the translation of this text into English, had resulted in lessening the linguistic violence exhibited by the postcolonial writings. In addition, this paper will also discuss the possibility of new variety of inflected English, sprouting out of this translation. Keywords: Postcolonial, Violence, Regional, Language, Culture, Erasure, Inflection. These are the words in which one of the three pillars of modern Indian English fiction, advocated ‗Sanskritic‘ version of English (Singh 2012: 40).
