His first book, In Xanadubecame an instant backpacker's classic, winning a stream of literary prizes. City of Djinns and From the Holy Mountain soon followed, to universal critical praise. Yet it is India that Dalrymple continues to return to in his travels, a William Dalrymple has proved himself to be one of the most perceptive and enjoyable travel writers of the s. Yet it is India that Dalrymple continues to return to in his travels, and his fourth book, The Age of Kaliis his most reflective book to date. The The Age of Kali: Travels and Encounters in India of 10 year's living and traveling throughout the Indian subcontinent, The Age of Kali emerges from Dalrymple's uneasy sense that the region is slipping into the most fearsome of all epochs in ancient Hindu cosmology: "the Kali Yug, the Age of Kali, the lowest possible throw, an epoch of strife, corruption, darkness, and disintegration. Dalrymple's love for the subcontinent, and his feel for its diverse cultural identity, comes across in every page, which makes its chronicles of political corruption, ethnic violence, and social disintegration all the more poignant. The scope of the book is particularly impressive, from the vivid opening chapters portraying the lawless caste violence of Bihar, to interviews with the drug barons on the North-West Frontier, and Dalrymple's extraordinary encounter with the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. Some of the most fascinating sections of the book are Dalrymple's interviews with Imran Khan and Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan, which read like nonfiction companion pieces to Salman Rushdie's bitterly satirical Shame. The Age of Kali is a dark, disturbing book that takes the pulse of a continent facing some tough questions. Get A Copy. Paperbackpages.

I must say I had to reset my expectations while reading this book. I started reading what I thought would be an unprejudiced holistic third-person view of India, unaffected by patriotic sentiments, yet aided by a depth of understanding of the subcontinent and its culture. For William Dalrymple is eligible on both accounts- an Indophile Scotsman who has lived in India for many years to understand it's people, history and the cultural nuances. However, this book is not a balanced view and certainl I must say I had to reset my expectations while reading this book. However, this book is not a balanced view and certainly not a holistic view of the subcontinent. Though William does not suffer from the sentimental-glorification-syndrome that many Indian writers succumb to, he suffers from a shortage of genuine appreciation. This is more a collection of essays that depicts the trials and tribulations of the Indian society than a travel account. William shines a clear spotlight on the evils that have plagued the country-casteism, outdated beliefs like Sati, the growing economic disparity, corruption, and general break-down of the moral fabric. While the book points out India's excesses very succintly, William's spotlight never shines as strongly on what has worked for the country, The Age of Kali: Travels and Encounters in India is worth admiring in India and what is worth being proud of. The same goes for Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The book has elicited plenty of reactions on Goodread to the effect of what a wonderful insight it is into this fascinating land, even to the extent of calling the book a must-read for those who want to travel to India for the first time. The land that William has so deftly painted a picture of in this book is in no way facsinating or lovable. His picture is of a once beautiful, now crumbling and broken land, and a degenerate, hamstrung society. There is a strong undertone of cynicism, and, in places, superiority and condescension. If this were the only book a first time traveller to India reads, it would be unfortunate. What would be ridiculous is if he decides he 'loves' this 'wonderful' country for what the book describes. Some of the other book reviews seem to suggest that. Having said that, this is an absolutely engrossing book. William paints pictures with words, looks The Age of Kali: Travels and Encounters in India people and ideas tongue firmly in cheek, and gives us exclusive interviews with some of the most known names in the subcontinent. The Age of Kali is the work of an excellent journalist on all that is going wrong with the subcontinent in modern times though it was written about 10 years ago, many of the observations remain horrifyingly true. What is going right for the subcontinent, however, is clearly NOT a subject of the book. View 1 comment. First off because of the form - it is a collection of pieces written for different journals at different times in the s, and there is occasional repetition from one piece to the next, with no overall guiding structure. Second, because of this, the book lacks any synthesising introduction or conclusion, apart from a page at the very beginning explaining the concept of the Age of Kali, the Kali Yuga. The book is mainly about India, but there are excursions also to Sri Lanka, R Shelves: popsugar-reading- challenge Detailed review coming up. Edit: Full review India is a country of such great culture and over centuries of invasions and fights for freedom, we as a country, have emerged as a powerful plethora of multitude of wonders. The Age of Kali is one such view of this country through Dalrymple's lens, as well as a short glimpse into the neighboring Pakistan. Dalrymple is witty, humorous and I might just add, extremely brave. Encapsulating the essence that is India in a few pages in the manner in which Detailed review coming up. Encapsulating the essence that is India in a few pages in the manner in which he has, takes a rare talent. The book is impeccably researched. The present is presented with the context of its past and even if you have very less idea of the vivid history, Dalrymple makes it fun and interesting in his own way. The topics covered range from the political ascent of Lalu Prasad Yadav in Bihar, to Rajmata of Gwalior, Kingdom of Avadh, the sad story of Bhavri Devi in Rajasthan, caste wars and the practice of Sati Mata, the gradual progression of Bombay into a city of dreams, Bangalore's initial retaliation to foreign takeover in the form of protests against KFC and Miss World, Lucknow's immensely sad history and death of culture, to the Goddess Parashakti in the South. I am The Age of Kali: Travels and Encounters in India in awe of the writing and the fact that Dalrymple has such immaculate observational skills. Also, he presents the facts without any bias. Of course, inherently I could read between the lines and my own biases did crop up since the topic is so close to my heart - INDIA. There is an incident where Dalrymple is observing the ritual of a newly married woman praying to a Goddess in the South and the temple only allowed women when the bride was praying. So Dalrymple held on till the time their prayers were done just to go and observe what were the prayers about. It is hilarious in some such places, where one can imagine Dalrymple hiding till the situation is clear and then going and satisfying his curiosity. My particular favorite part was when Dalrymple describes Bombay. The nostalgia. The era of rap music that descended on Bombay through Baba Sehgal, the rise of The Age of Kali: Travels and Encounters in India De into the elite circles and the fact that Bombay The Age of Kali: Travels and Encounters in India a The Age of Kali: Travels and Encounters in India has had this typical ability to hold on to its roots and yet progress in a manner in which only Bombay can - had me almost reminiscing the old Doordarshan days before Star took over with its cable connection.

The cult of Ram, which is not only central to the practice of modern Hinduism but is also the lynchpin of Hindu nationalist politics, emerged as a major devotional tradition in sixteenth century North India. The Ram tradition was propelled by two primary forces - the famous devotional composition of Tulsidas, the Rāmcaritmānas and the rapidly expanding monastic community, the Ramanandi sect. Modern scholarship on Ram devotion has either tended to treat each facet separately or has simply assumed that the text forms the theological core of the sect. My research shows that although text and sect emerged almost simultaneously in the sixteenth century, they represented distinct theologies until the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, when they were united under the patronage of a rising Hindu polity.
