  • POETIC SWORDS of WORDS of NATIONALISTS DURING FREEDOM STRUGGLE of INDIA Ashok Brahma U.N
    PJAEE, 17(7) (2020) ACTUAL FEELINGS: POETIC SWORDS OF WORDS OF NATIONALISTS DURING FREEDOM STRUGGLE OF INDIA Ashok Brahma U.N. Academy (Degree College & P.G Course), Kokrajhar Bodoland University,Assam, India Ashok Brahma Actual Feelings: Poetic Swords Of Words Of Nationalists During Freedom Struggle Of India– Palarch’s Journal Of Archaeology Of Egypt/Egyptology 17(2) (2020), 1-11. Issn 1567-214x Keywords: Nationalism; Actual feeling; Sentiment; Spiritual; Emotion; Psychological; Abstract: Indian nationalists betrayed the British rule in India; the use of 'words' war' was most important than the use of 'swords' war' during the freedom struggle. The words used by the Indian Nationalists were not mere words. Their every single word(s)/sentence(s) of the poetic slogan was (were) those touch feelings and evoked the thought of every Indian awe-inspiring and feel worlds' leaders think about the freedom of India and for other world/country as well. For them, the fear of punishment of British rule/India was only the utterance, which not reward for the sacrifice of the motherland. They were never afraid to voice slogans and the poetic proverbs against British rule uniting the masses in India. Introduction Nationalism is a sentiment, an idea, a feeling of reverence/admiration, and devotion, and it denotes the psychological and emotional bond with one's state or nation. It is lucid that nationalism is a condition of mind, spiritual possession, and a way of feeling, thinking, and living of one person in the world. But, it is also true that without a genuine sense of people/individuals a nation until the people themselves feel the spirit of national oneness.

  • Ravi Shankar Accepts Regents' Professor Appointment at UCSD
    Ravi Shankar accepts Regents' professor appointment at UCSD September 18, 1997 Media Contact: Linda Shockley, (619) 534-0361 or [email protected] LEGENDARY VIRTUOSO SITARIST RAVI SHANKAR ACCEPTS REGENTS' PROFESSOR APPOINTMENT AT UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO Internationally renowned musician Ravi Shankar has accepted a prestigious appointment as Regents' Professor at the University of California, San Diego. Shankar, in a statement of acceptance, said: "It makes me very happy and honored being offered the Regents' Professorship by the University of California, San Diego. I am inspired to feel that this is the beginning of a long- term musical relationship." The Regents' Professor appointment is a rare and distinguished award, first introduced to the University of California system in 1962. The purpose of the appointment is to bring to campus distinguished individuals, usually from non-academic fields, who through their contact with students and faculty, may add to and enrich university life. This is the first time a Regents' Professor has been appointed at the UCSD campus. Music Chair F. Richard Moore said, "We are certainly delighted that after a considerable amount of thought by all parties that the Regents have almost immediately seen fit to follow our recommendation to appoint Ravi Shankar to our faculty. His appointment as Regents' Professor presents a unique opportunity that will significantly enrich university life, the education of students, and contribute to the prestige of our campus. We look forward to this relationship, to our opportunity to know Mr. Shankar and his work better, and to introduce him to our work as well." Moore added, "Shankar's interdisciplinary work (especially his film scores), his international touring, and his involvement with popular music figures have brought his music to millions of people throughout the world.

I shall explore three spatial conceptions of South Asia— strategic, geographic and cultural; and I shall try to explain the patterns of space- thinking underlying each one of them, show their connection with modernity, and discuss why and how South Asia is still not a space that can be conceived as a space of belonging. I shall run two arguments together—the first about the historical transformations of identity in modern times, and the second about the poetic construction of affect for space-related terms like India, and Pakistan, but not South Asia.

  • Nationalism, Genuine and Spurious a VERY LATE OBITUARY of TWO EARLY POSTNATIONALIST STRAINS in INDIA Ashis Nandy
    Nationalism, Genuine and Spurious A VERY LATE OBITUARY OF TWO EARLY POSTNATIONALIST STRAINS IN INDIA Ashis Nandy ABSTRACT Nationalism is not patriotism. Nationalism is an ideology and is configured in human per- sonality the way other ideologies are. It rode piggyback into the Afro-Asian world in colonial times as an adjunct of the concept of nation-state. Patriotism is a nonspecific sentiment cen- tering on a form of territoriality that humans share with a number of other species. This unacknowledged difference is central to the spirited critique of conventional nationalism by Mohandas Gandhi, India’s Father of the Nation, and the total rejection of nationalism by Rabindranath Tagore, India’s national poet. INDIANS, VINAY LAL TELLS US, ARE INVETERATE RECORD SEEKERS. 1 From no other country does the Guinness Book of Records receive so many applications for recognition—at least one-tenth of all applications to the Guinness Book emanate from India—and some of them do get into the book: from the silent holy man who stayed on the same spot on a road- side in a village for twenty-two years to someone who wrote 1,314 characters on a single Ashis Nandy is a political psychologist and sociologist renowned for his work on cultures of knowledge, mass vio- lence, colonialism, and nationalism. He is associated with the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies in Delhi, of which he was a director for a number of years. He has been also a Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson In- ternational Center, Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study, Berlin, and Regent's Fellow, University of Cali- fornia, Los Angeles.

  • WORLDSTAR Round 6 Packet By: Jakob Myers, Daoud Jackson, Elysia Warner, Jason Golfinos, Mike Cheyne, Theo Howe, Evan Suttell, and Alex Damisch
    WORLDSTAR Round 6 Packet by: Jakob Myers, Daoud Jackson, Elysia Warner, Jason Golfinos, Mike Cheyne, Theo Howe, Evan Suttell, and Alex Damisch 1. Valerie Hansen published a 1996 paper arguing that this painting’s subject was actually a creation of its artist. An animated version of this painting was created for the 2010 World Expo, and a medical clinic specializing in hangovers is visible near a large collection of wine shops in this painting. A famous segment of this painting depicts a crowd shouting at a boat attempting to go under a bridge without lowering its mast. A poorly maintained bridge, a sleeping horse outside a guardhouse, and shrubs growing out of a city wall in this painting symbolize the military laxity and decline that would eventually lead to the (*) capture of the city it depicts. This painting’s depictions of prosperity may be celebrating recovery from an economic depression in 1115, which predated the Xuanhe reign that this painting is often viewed as eulogizing. The fall of the city it may depict to the Liao Dynasty may have lent extra poignancy to, for ten points, what panoramic scroll painting by Zhang Zeduan that may depict Song-era Kaifeng?

Veteran songster Carlos Meijia Godoy released the single “Monimbo siempre con vos” to show his support for political opposition in this country.

His presentation of Indian music to Western audiences has heightened American interest in and appreciation for Indian music and has resulted in the exportation of thousands of sitars to Western countries. His extensive training in Indian music, coupled with his exposure to Western society, has led to a compositional style that embraces elements of both cultures. Shankar is not the only Indian musician, however, to explore Indian-Western fusion. A less well-known Indian musician who has contributed extensively to this genre is John Mayer, a composer and violinist from Calcutta. More than a decade before the partnership between Yehudi Menuhin and Ravi Shankar at the 1966 Bath Festival, Mayer began composing works that combined these two distinct musics.
