O’Shea, Chair This dissertation presents a critical examination of dance and multiple movements across the Coromandel in a pivotal period: the long eighteenth century. On the eve of British colonialism, this period was one of profound political and economic shifts; new princely states and ruling elite defined themselves in the wake of Mughal expansion and decline, weakening Nayak states in the south, the emergence of several European trading companies as political stakeholders and a series of fiscal crises. In the midst of this rapidly changing landscape, new performance paradigms emerged defined by hybrid repertoires, focus on structure and contingent relationships to space and place – giving rise to what we understand today as classical south Indian dance. Far from stable or isolated tradition fixed in space and place, I argue that dance as choreographic ii practice, theorization and representation were central to the negotiation of changing geopolitics, urban milieus and individual mobility. -

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Anveshana 2017-18- BANGALORE - Abstract Book Page 2 of 209 FOREWORD In a world where recent events suggest that we may be entering a period of greater uncertainties, it is disturbing that India's educational system is not (in general) internationally competitive. In an age where the state of the economy is driven more and more by knowledge and skill, it is clear that the future of our country will depend crucially on education at all levels – from elementary schools to research universities. It is equally clear that the question is not one of talent or innate abilities of our country men, as more and more Indians begin to win top jobs in US business and industry, government and academia. Indian talent is almost universally acknowledged, as demonstrated by the multiplying number of R&D centres being set up in India by an increasing number of multinational companies. So what is the real problem? There are many problems ranging from poor talent management to an inadequate teaching system in most schools and colleges where there is little effort to make contact with the real world in general rather than only prescribed text books. -

The Absent Vedas
The Absent Vedas Will SWEETMAN University of Otago The Vedas were first described by a European author in a text dating from the 1580s, which was subsequently copied by other authors and appeared in transla- tion in most of the major European languages in the course of the seventeenth century. It was not, however, until the 1730s that copies of the Vedas were first obtained by Europeans, even though Jesuit missionaries had been collecting Indi- an religious texts since the 1540s. I argue that the delay owes as much to the rela- tive absence of the Vedas in India—and hence to the greater practical significance for missionaries of other genres of religious literature—as to reluctance on the part of Brahmin scholars to transmit their texts to Europeans. By the early eighteenth century, a strange dichotomy was apparent in European views of the Vedas. In Europe, on the one hand, the best-informed scholars believed the Vedas to be the most ancient and authoritative of Indian religious texts and to preserve a monotheistic but secret doctrine, quite at odds with the popular worship of multiple deities. The Brahmins kept the Vedas, and kept them from those outside their caste, especially foreigners. One or more of the Vedas was said to be lost—perhaps precisely the one that contained the most sublime ideas of divinity. By the 1720s scholars in Europe had begun calling for the Vedas to be translated so that this secret doctrine could be revealed, and from the royal library in Paris a search for the texts of the Vedas was launched. -

Although the inchoate manifestations of early political consciousness could be traced to the l830*s when the Hindus protested against the proselytizing operations of the Christian missionaries and their official allies, a protest which during the early 1fifties crystallized to give birth to the Madras Native Association, it was not until the formation of the Madras Mahajana Sabha that political activity in South India found its organized and self- su stain in g momentum." The th e s is attem pts to reco n stru c t the events that led to the establishment of the Madras Mahajana Sabha against % the background of political convulsions caused partly by the unpopular rule of Grant Duff and partly by Anglo-Indian opposition to Riponrs policies. -
Sri Annamacharya - Poems
Classic Poetry Series Sri Annamacharya - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Sri Annamacharya(9 May 1408 – 23 February 1503) Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya (Telugu: ???? ???????? ???????????) (or Annamayya) was the official songmaster of the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, and a Telugu composer who composed around 36000 keertana songs, many of which were in praise of Venkateswara, the presiding deity of the temple. The musical form of the keertana songs that he composed have strongly influenced the structure of Carnatic music compositions, which are still popular among Carnatic music concert artists. Sri Annamacharya is remembered for his saintly life, and is honoured as a great Bhakta/devotee of Bhagwaan Govinda by devotees and saintly singers. He is believed to have been the reincarnation of the precious sword of lord Vishnu ( Nandakam ). He is widely regarded as the Pada-kavita Pitaamaha (grand old man of song-writing) of the Telugu language. <b>Personal Life</b> Annamacharya was born on Vaisakha Suddha Pournami in the year Sarwadhari in Tallapaka, a village in current day Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh, India. His wife, Thimmakka, had written Subhadra Kalyanam, and is considered the first female poet in Telugu literature. He was born into a Telugu Brahmin family. Their son, Pedda Tirumalacharya, and grandson, Tallapaka Chinnayya, were also composers and poets. The Tallapaka compositions are considered to have dominated and influenced the structure of Carnatic music compositions. Annamacharya lived for 94 years until Phalguna Bahula Dwadasi (12th day after full moon) in the year Dhundhubhi. <b>Literary Career</b> Annamacharya is said to have composed as many as 36,000 sankeertanas (songs) on Bhagwaan Govinda Venkateswara, of which only about 12,000 are available today. -
