An upper-middle-class Bengali Brahmin with an English-language based education, my father was as influenced by the mythological tales narrated to him by his grandmother as he was by the musicals of Broadway impressario Andrew Lloyd Webber.

  • 1 Title: Enlightenment and Empire, Mughals and Marathas: The
    Title: Enlightenment and Empire, Mughals and Marathas: The Religious History of Indian in the Work of East India Company Servant, Alexander Dow. Abstract: This article situates the work of East India Company servant Alexander Dow (1735-1779), principally his writings on the history and future state of India, in contemporary debates about empire, religion and enlightened government. To do so it offers a sustained analysis of his 1772 essay “A Dissertation Concerning the Origin and Nature of Despotism in Hindostan”, as well as his proposals for the restoration of Bengal, both of which played an influential part in shaping the preoccupations with Mughal history that dominated the contemporary crisis in the Company’s legitimacy. By linking these texts to his earlier work on ‘Hindoo’ religion, it will argue that Dow’s analysis of the relationship between certain religious cultures and their civic qualities was rooted in a deist perspective. It doing so it restores the enlightenment components of Dow’s thought, and their impact on the ideology of empire, in a crucial period of British expansion in India. Keywords: Empire, Enlightenment, India, Eighteenth Century, East India Company, Religion 1 Historians are increasingly concerned with the Enlightenment’s extra-European context.1 In particular, recognising that international commerce and exchange were its material context, scholars have turned their attention to Enlightenment attitudes to empire. For Sankar Muthu this has meant tracing anti-imperialist strands of enlightenment thought.2 This

  • Essay About India in Urdu
    1 Essay About India In Urdu The literary council of the official Kannada language of the state and more than other 50 language organizations promoting Kannada language threatened state-wide protests against the Urdu bulletin. One missive written by a team of Hindu nationalists from Bhartendu Harishchandra and sent to Madan Mohan Malviya was a scathing attack on the supposed uselessness and alienness of Urdu in British India. A man in his 30s approached and sat beside me, initiating a conver- sation and introducing himself as an off-duty member of the Home Guard. I was unsure how to react to his remark, but he did not seem to be complaining or hostile on the contrary, he was in awe of discovering another set of sounds seemingly alien to him. What had gone wrong. Once again, I got the feeling that Urdu was being treated as alien to Delhi, just as in Patna, although in both places, it has the status of the second official language. The name of the famous emblematic railway station, Mughal Sarai, was metamorphosed into Deen Dyal Upadhya following a chilling fervor by nationalist extremists, just to name one major example. Known as Father of Modern Hindi, Lallu Lal set the tone for Sanskritized Hindi. The recruitment of Urdu teachers was subsequently postponed and exam papers were no longer available in Urdu for public primary schools in Rajasthan. In 2016, the same Rajasthan government removed Urdu author Ismat Chughtai from the Class VIII Hindi textbook. One example Rahman cited was Prem Sagar 1803 by Lallu Lal, in which Arabic and Persian words were purged.

  • A Language Without a State: Early Histories of Maithili Literature
    A LANGUAGE WITHOUT A STATE: EARLY HISTORIES OF MAITHILI LITERATURE Lalit Kumar When we consider the more familiar case of India’s new national language, Hindi, in relation to its so-called dialects such as Awadhi, Brajbhasha, and Maithili, we are confronted with the curious image of a thirty-year-old mother combing the hair of her sixty-year-old daughters. —Sitanshu Yashaschandra The first comprehensive history of Maithili literature was written by Jayakanta Mishra (1922-2009), a professor of English at Allahabad University, in two volumes in 1949 and 1950, respectively. Much before the publication of this history, George Abraham Grierson (1851- 1941), an ICS officer posted in Bihar, had first attempted to compile all the available specimens of Maithili literature in a book titled Maithili Chrestomathy (1882).1 This essay analyses Jayakanta Mishra’s History in dialogue with Grierson’s Chrestomathy, as I argue that the first history of Maithili literature was the culmination of the process of exploration of literary specimens initiated by Grierson, with the stated objective of establishing the identity of Maithili as an independent modern Indian language.This journey from Chrestomathy to History, or from Grierson to Mishra,helps us understand not only the changes Maithili underwent in more than sixty years but also comprehend the centrality of the language-dialect debate in the history of Maithili literature. A rich literary corpus of Maithili created a strong ground for its partial success, not in the form of Mithila getting the status of a separate state, but in the official recognition by the Sahitya Akademi in 1965 and by the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution in 2003.

  • Omar Khayyam
    ABU OL-FATH EBN-EBRAHIM ’OMAR OL-KHAYYÁMI OF NISHAPUR 1048 CE May 15, Monday: Traditional date of birth of the Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet Omar Khayyam يمغياث الدين ابو الفتح عمر بن ابراه Ghiyath al-Din Abu’l-Fath Omar ibn Ibrahim Al-Nisaburi Khayyámi) in Nishapur, the provincial capital of Khurasan in northeastern Iran, a town at an altitude of ,(خيام نيشابوري 3,920 feet. There appears to be no evidence whatever that he was born on this traditional date. It is, presumably, a pious fabrication committed by someone sometime. We think actually he was born in about 1038 to 1048, most likely 1044 — but hey, what does it matter? “Khayyam” means the tent-maker, and although generally he is considered as a Persian, it has also been suggested that he could have belonged to a tribe of Arab origin that settled in Persia. Little is known about his early life except that he was educated at Nishapur and lived there and at Samarqand for most of his life. He was a contemporary of Nidham al-Mulk Tusi. He would be the 1st to be able to solve some cubic equations, to wit, equations of degree three with the unknown raised to the third power and eventually would be recognized as the only person we know of, who was recognizably both a poet and a mathematician. Although patronage opportunities would be available to him, and although he would visit the great centers of learning in Samarqand, Bukhara, Balkh, and Isphahan in order to study and to interact with other scholars, he preferred a calm life devoted to inquiry and did not avail himself of the shah’s court.

  • Aśvaghoṣa and His Canonical Sources II Yaśas, the Kāśyapa Brothers and the Buddha’S Arrival in Rājagha (Buddhacarita 16.3–71) *
    Aśvaghoṣa and his canonical sources II Yaśas, the Kāśyapa brothers and the Buddha’s arrival in Rājagha (Buddhacarita 16.3–71) * Vincent Eltschinger Introduction According to Paramārtha’s (499–569) Life of Vasubandhu (T. 2049), Aśva ghoṣa played a major role in the composition of the Mahā vibhāṣā, a/the literary outcome of the synod held in Kaśmīr at the invitation of the Abhidharma scholar Kātyāyanīputra.1 As this account has it, Aśvaghoṣa committed to literary Sanskrit what Kāt yā yanīputra, 500 arhats and 500 bodhisattvas dictated to him.2 * Most sincere thanks are due to Jens-Uwe Hartmann, Isabelle Ratié, Richard Salomon and Vincent Tournier for their careful reading of this paper and their many suggestions. 1 On this synod, see Frauwallner 1952: 250–256 and Willemen/Dessein/ Cox 1998: 116–121. For Paramārtha’s account, see T. 2049, 189a1–26 (Taka- kusu 1904: 276–279), and below, n. 2. 2 Takakusu 1904: 278–279: “The Bodhisattva, Ma-ming (Aśvaghoṣa), who was a native of Sha-ki-ta (Sāketa) of the country of Sha-yei (Śrāvastī), was well versed in the eight divisions of the Bi-ka-la (vyākaraṇa) treatise, in the four Vedas, and the six treatises on them (vedāṅgas), and was con- versant with the Tripiṭakas of all the eighteen (Buddhist) schools. He was the Laureate of Literature, the Treasury of Learning, the Home of every Virtue. Kātyāyanīputra sent an envoy to Śrāvastī to invite Aśvaghoṣa in or- der to embellish for him the literary compositions. When Aśvaghoṣa came to Ki-pin (Kaśmīra), Kātyāyanīputra expounded the eight books [of the Jñānaprasthāna, VE] in succession.
