DUTT ROMESH CHUNDER DUTT, to whom English readersare indebted for the condensed metricalversions of the ancient Indian epics given in thisvolume, was one of the most distmguished sons of modern India. He came of a Hindu familystandinghigh among the Kayasths, second of the great castes in Bengal, was born in I848, and grew to manhood amid influences of deep spirxtual disturbance. In those days an Indian youth who had felt the call of the West encountered the sternest opposition, from both his own family and the community, if he avowed his ambition of making the voyage to Europe. Romesh Dutt, having passed through the Presidency College, Calcutta, took his fate into his own hands. Accompanied by two friends, both of whom after- wards rose to eminence in Bengal, he secretly took ship, came to London, entered for the Indian Civil Service, and took third place in the open examination of 1869. He was the first of his race to attain the rank of divisional commissioner, and long before his retirement in I897, at the end of twenty-five years' service, had made a high reputation as an administrator. He sat for a time in the Bengal Legislative Council, and, in recognition of his official work, received the Companionship of the Indian Empire. He died on November 3o, I9o9, at Baroda, the capital of the important Native State which he had served with brilliant success as revenue minister and dewan. The influences which determined his literary activity were ix x A NOTE ON THE LATE ROMESH C. DUTT primarily European. As a student in Calcutta he had made acquaintance with the English classics, and later, while at University College, had read the poets insatiably. Nevertheless his first successes were achieved in his mother tongue. He wrote in Bengali poems and plays, historical and social novels, and aroused a storm of protest within the orthodox community of his province by publishing a Bengali translation of the Rig Veda. In English, of which he had complete mastery, his first con- siderable essay was a history of Civilisation in Ancient India, which, though not a work of original research, fulfilled a useful purpose in its day. When freedom from Government service gave him the opportunity he set himself to writing the Economic iUistor 3, of India and India in the Victorian Age, the two together forming his chief contribution to the subject which he, more than any other Indian of his time, had made his own. In these books, as in others of kindred theme and purpose, there is much criticism of British administration, strongly felt if temperately expressed. Apart from this, its more controversial side, the work of Romesh Dutt is valuable mainly in that it has helped to reveal, to his own people no less than to ours, the spiritual riches of ancient India.

The names Kosala and Videha in the singular number indicate the king- doms,--Oudh and North Behar,--and in the plural number they mean the ancient races which inhabited those two countries. According to the Epic, Dasa-ratha king of the Kosalas had four sons, the eldest of whom was Rama the hero of the poem. And Janak king of the Videhas had a daughter named Sita, who was miraculously born of a field furrow, and who is the heroine of the Epic. Janak ordained a severe teat for the hand of his daughter, and many a prince and warrior came and went away disappointed. Rama succeeded, and won Sita. The story of Rama's winning his bride, and of the marriage of his three brother8 with the sister and cousins of Sits, forms the subject of this Book. The portions translated in this Book form Section vi., Sections Ixvii. to lxix., Section lxxiii., and Section lxxvii, of Book i. of the original text ._ !

  • Agastya Nadi Samhita
    CHAPTER NO. 1 Sri. Agastya Naadi Samhita A mind - boggling Miracle In today’s world of science, if just from the impression of your thumb somebody accurately tells you, your name, the names of your mother, father, husband/wife, your birth-date, month, age etc. what would you call such prediction? Would you regard it as an amazing divination or as black magic? No, it is neither black magic nor a hand trick. Such prediction, which defies all logic and boggles one’s mind, forms the subject-matter of the Agastya Naadi. Those predictions were visualised at different places by various ancient Sages, with their divine insight and factually noted by their chosen disciples, thousands of years ago, to be handed down from generation to generation. This great work makes us realize the limitations of human sciences. That great compilation predicting the future of all human beings born or yet to be born, eclipses the achievements of all other sciences put together! Naadi is a collective name given to palm-leaf manuscripts dictated by ancient sages predicting the characteristics, family history, as well as the careers of innumerable individuals. The sages (rishis), who dictated those Naadis, were gifted with such a remarkable foresight – that they accurately foretold the entire future of all mankind. Many scholars in different parts of India have in their safekeepings several granthas (volumes) of those ancient palm-leaf manuscripts dictated by the great visualizing souls, alias sages such as Bhrugu, Vasistha, Agastya, Shukra, and other venerable saints. I had the good-fortune to consult Sri. Agastya Naadi predictions.

  • THE QUESTS by Tony Fairbairn
    (The following article appeared in the Pipeline Rock Instrumental Magazine in 2005. Use with permission from Tony Fairbairn.) THE QUESTS by Tony Fairbairn Tony became a fan of The Quests when he saw them live in Singapore in 1964 and here he tells their story Singapore in the early 1960s was an exciting musical crossroads of the world. The weekly evening Amah’s noisily flaunted all the current UK and US hit parade records, and by day you could wander into C K Tang’s department store on Orchard Road and pick up the Jumping Jewels new LP. On the live front, guitar bands were forming all over the place in response to the combined demands of an enthusiastic local audience and the enormous Commonwealth military presence on the island at that time. In retrospect it was something of a golden age for local music, a time of encouragement and opportunity for budding musicians. Amongst the bands honing their skills at such venues as the Golden Venus was a group of very talented youngsters who had titled themselves The Quests and who were fast making a name for themselves. The band’s fortune took a dramatic upturn in 1964 when they were spotted by EMI, for whom they wrote and recorded an instrumental called Shanty. To their delight it quickly topped the Far Eastern hit parade and kick-started them on a professional career that has now passed into Singaporean musical folklore. Their story begins in 1961 with four teenage friends who used to meet to share their interest in the music of Paul Anka, Johnny Tillotson and The Ventures.

    No More Tall Buildings: American Superhero Comics and the Shadow of 9/11 Mauricio Castro Synopsis This essay explores reactions to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 in superhero comics published by Marvel and DC Comics. It outlines how these publishers largely avoided engaging the meanings of the attacks and focused instead on their impact on American society and politics. It traces commonalities between storylines in Amazing Spider-Man, Ex Machina, and The Boys, contrasting them with the work of John Ney Rieber and John Cassaday on Captain America. It concludes that these corporate entities likely shied away from controversy that might have harmed their industry status and stunted the possibilities of their emerging multi-media presence. Biography Mauricio Castro received a BA from Vassar College and an MA in American history from Purdue University, where he is a Ph.D. candidate. His dissertation focuses on Miami‟s urban development following the arrival of the Cuban exiles in 1959. His academic interests include political economy, gender, nationalism, and popular culture. Essay The two pages which open issue number 36 of The Amazing Spider-Man (Volume 2) show the titular hero gripping his own head in horror and impotence as he looks down upon the burning wreckage of the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11th, 2001. Written by J. Michael Straczynski, illustrated by John Romita Jr., and published on November 14th of that same year, Amazing Spider-Man #36 was meant to directly address the events of the previous September through the eyes of Marvel Comic‟s everyman New Yorker, Peter Parker.
