A BIRD S-EYE VIEW. If the reader were gifted with telescopic powers of vision, and could take his stand at sunrise some bright morning in early April on a certain wind-swept hill-side, almost exactly 82° E. longitude and 23° N. latitude, which is very vividly present before my mind's eye at this moment, he would see before him, sloj^ing gently southward to the Ganges, the great plain of Oudh. Behind him would rise in green, tumbled masses the pine-clad hills of Naipal, shutting out the distant glories of the snowy range. At his feet, and stretching far away on either hand to east and west, he would see a broad belt of primaeval forest—the shrunken remnant of that mighty wood, the great Gandharb Ban, which once covered the country north of the Sarj u. river up to the hills—intersected by a gleaming line where the waters of the Eapti glisten brightly in the morning sunlight. Here only in Oudh may still be tasted, though in diminished measure, the indescribable charm, which no one who has once known it can ever forget, of the wild, free, irresponsible life of the forest. Life has not many better things to offer in the way of piirely natural pleasure than it bestows on a hard-working 1 — ! 2 THE GARDEN OF INDIA. Anglo-Indian who, having fairly earned a month of holiday by eleven months of honest toil in court-house or in tent, can resort to these happy hunting-grounds, and abandon him- self for a season to the bliss of an existence such as Brown- " ing has sung of in " Saul : "Oh, the wild joys of living ! the leaping from rock up to rock. The strong rending of boughs from the fir tree, the cool silver shock Of the plunge in a pool's living water, the hunt of the bear. And the sultriness showing the [tiger] is couched in his lair." Think of the awakening in the early twilight from such slumber as only a couch in the forest, after a long day in the howdah, can afford, to see the morning star growing pale in the green sky before the gathering flush of the dawn, and to taste in anticipation the coming bliss of a long, ob- jective, irresponsible day ! Think, next, of the exquisite plunge into the blue dancing ripples of the river, as it comes racing down from the hills over tree trunk and boulder Hard to believe that it is the same stream whose steady murmur lulled us to sleep overnight, as we lay with half- closed eyes watching it shimmering past in the starlight. Strike out boldly, and lend yourself without fear to the cool fresh embrace of its mimic waves. No dread of crocodiles here to mar your rapture as you " Try the water with delighted limbs." Lower down the stream the elephants are enjoying to the uttermost their morning bath, lying stretched out in uncouth abandon, and uttering subdued grunts and^squeals of delight, while their mahouts clamber about their huge persons, and scrub their rugged hides. Then come the saunter through the camp, the inspection of the horses, and the alfresco breakfast, followed by the arrival of the wise old shikari who went out overnight, and has now returned with sure hhabar of a tiger's whereabouts. Then the long slow march of elephants in line, winding their way to the distant cover, through deep forest glades where the spotted deer scurry away unscathed by random bullet, skirting noble streams A BIRD .S-EYE VIEW. S wooded to the water's edge, crossing rugged ravines and sandy nullahs, over broad grassy plains with no sign of human presence save, at wide intervals, the gipsy camp, or the frail hut of the catechu gatherer, or the wandering herdsman with his buffaloes. And when the great swamp is reached, and the beat has begun, and every howdah is swaying to and fro like a ship at sea, as the labouring elephant ploughs his oozy way through the tall crackling reeds, in whose cool wet depths the jungle king lies dreaming of that succulent young heifer, the remains of whose tell-tale carcase are still lying not three hundred yards off—why, then, you must indeed be hlase if your heart does not beat quickly and your blood tingle as you grasp your favourite old smooth-bore and lean forward, eager to catch the first glimpse of the black and tawny stripes. And when the mighty game is afoot, and the low wooded hills all round echo to the quick peals of volleying thunder, the smoke of which hangs heavily among the reed-tops, and after a mad charge among the elephants that scatters half of them to right and left like rabbits, the great cat sinks with a sullen roar, never to rise again, and when—but, ah, well ! We must not linger too long " over the pleasant memories of this " simple and violent life, for it is with far other scenes, for the most part, and with other modes of being, that we have to deal in the pages that are to come. So let us transfer ourselves back to our perch on the breezy hill- side, and look forth again, resolutely dismissing all thought of the forest and its charms, or retaining them only as a cool green back-ground to the dusty, quivering heat and stress of the great panorama beyond. There it lies, the great plain ! with its dim myriad memo- ries dating back from before the earliest dawn of history, ancient home of strange long-forgotten dynasties of abori- ginal husbandmen, or Scythian nomads " ranging trackless fields," who here lived out their rude anarchic lives for many a slow far-off century, before the inroads of the Rajpiit hordes from the north and west, followed hard by the pur- suing armies of Islam, crushed their weaker organisations, 1 * 4 THE GARDEN OF INDIA. and made them bondsmen and herdsmen and hewers of wood and drawers of water, unto this day. There it lies, the great plain ! a land of narrow fields and wide rivers, of open barren tracts, and great single trees, and dense mango groves, of jungle patches, and shallow reedy lakes, and dry watercourses, and rugged ravines worn by the rushing rain- torrents. And what sort of life is it, you may ask, that is led by the scantily clad, dusky dwellers in those groups of mud- built, thatch-roofed, creeper-covered houses that dot the country so thickly—the men who are irrigating their fields from tank and channel, the children herding cattle on the bare-looking grazing-grounds, the women with their water vessels clustering round the village well ? And it must, I fear, be answered that theirs is, for the most part, a dim, slowly moving, and too often a poverty-stricken and hunger- bitten life, a life of small observances and petty supersti- tions, a narrow round of struggle with the rent-collector and the village usurer, enlivened only by the rare excitement of a marriage-feast, or a pilgrimage to some quasi-religious fail". They are a much-enduring, little-complaining race, these earth-tillers, " men to much misery and hardship bom," who, blessed indeed in that they expect little, yet even of that little too often disappointed, wear away their lives from hand to mouth and year to year, " Muttering across the barley bread In daily toil and drearihead." This is not a pleasant sketch of the condition of the rural masses of Oudh, but I do not think that it is, so far as it goes, an unfaithful one, or drawn in too sombre colours.

  • Slowly Down the Ganges March 6 – 19, 2018
    Slowly Down the Ganges March 6 – 19, 2018 OVERVIEW The name Ganges conjures notions of India’s exoticism and mystery. Considered a living goddess in the Hindu religion, the Ganges is also the daily lifeblood that provides food, water, and transportation to millions who live along its banks. While small boats have plied the Ganges for millennia, new technologies and improvements to the river’s navigation mean it is now also possible to travel the length of this extraordinary river in considerable comfort. We have exclusively chartered the RV Bengal Ganga for this very special voyage. Based on a traditional 19th century British design, our ship blends beautifully with the timeless landscape. Over eight leisurely days and 650 kilometres, we will experience the vibrant, complex tapestry of diverse architectural expressions, historical narratives, religious beliefs, and fascinating cultural traditions that thrive along the banks of the Ganges. Daily presentations by our expert study leaders will add to our understanding of the soul of Indian civilization. We begin our journey in colourful Varanasi for a first look at the Ganges at one of its holiest places. And then by ship we explore the ancient Bengali temples, splendid garden-tombs, and vestiges of India’s rich colonial past and experience the enduring rituals of daily life along ‘Mother Ganga’. Our river journey concludes in Kolkatta (formerly Calcutta) to view the poignant reminders of past glories of the Raj. Conclude your trip with an immersion into the lush tropical landscapes of Tamil Nadu to visit grand temples, testaments to the great cultural opulence left behind by vanished ancient dynasties and take in the French colonial vibe of Pondicherry.

NIEMEIJER THE HAGUE - MAR TINUS NIJHOFF 1972 I.S.B.N.90.247.1334.X PREFACE The first incentive to write this book originated from a post-graduate course in Asian history which the University of Amsterdam organized in 1966. I am happy to acknowledge that the university where I received my training in the period from 1933 to 1940 also provided the stimulus for its final completion. I am greatly indebted to the personal interest taken in my studies by professor Dr. W. F. Wertheim and Dr. J. M. Pluvier. Without their encouragement, their critical observations and their advice the result would certainly have been of less value than it may be now. The same applies to Mrs. Dr. S. C. L. Vreede-de Stuers, who was prevented only by ill-health from playing a more active role in the last phase of preparation of this thesis. I am also grateful to professor Dr. G. F. Pijper who was kind enough to read the second chapter of my book and gave me valuable advice. Beside this personal and scholarly help I am indebted for assistance of a more technical character to the staff of the India Office Library and the India Office Records, and also to the staff of the Public Record Office, who were invariably kind and helpful in guiding a foreigner through the intricacies of their libraries and archives.

From the sepoy lines, the uprising spread swiftly to the ordinary people in the town and the surrounding villages. The sepoys captured the bell of arms (a place where the arms and ammunition were stored) and then proceeded to attack and kill the white people and to ransack and burn their bungalows and property. Government buildings – the records office, jail, court, post office, treasury – were all destroyed and plundered. The telegraph line to Delhi was cut. As the evening fell, a group of sepoys rode off towards Delhi. The sepoys arrived at the gates of the LalQila early on the morning of May 11. It was the month of Ramzan, the Muslim holy month of prayer and fasting. The old Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah, had just finished his prayers and meal before the fast began. He heard the commotion and he saw that the sepoys had gathered beneath his window. They told him: “we have come from Meerut after killing all the Englishmen there, because they asked us to bite bullets that were coated with the fat of cows and pigs with our teeth.

    This chapter was accepted for publication in Ciocca R., Srivastava N. (eds) Indian Literature and the World. Palgrave Macmillan, London, 2017. DOI: 10.1057/978-1- 137-54550-3_3 Reading Together: Hindi, Urdu, and English village novels Francesca Orsini (SOAS)* Reading Together How to do a multilingual history of the novel, and why should we even attempt such an enterprise? In her essay 'The aesthetics and politics of "reading together" Moroccan novels in Arabic and French', Karima Laachir lays out the reasons for such an enterprise in the context of Morocco, and several of her arguments are pertinent to North India, too. The multilingual literary field in Morocco is largely disconnected and polarized betweeen Arabic and French, what Abdelfattah Kilito calls ‘split tongue’ and ‘split literature’. This unproductive dichotomy extends to the study of Arabic and French literature, which draws upon ideological views of Arabic as the 'national' language and French as 'foreign' (Laachir, 2015: 8). In critical discourse, the novel has been seen simplistically as a 'foreign import' from French, in the process obscuring, Laachir argues, both its strong ties to pre-modern Moroccan genres such as travel-writing, letter-writing and mixed prose, as well as the more complex trajectory of circulation between Arabic fiction writing in the Mashreq (Egypt and Lebanon in particular) and the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) (2015: 9-10). Moreover, while the first generation of post-independence Maghrebi writers in French may have agonized over their use of the coloniser’s tongue, the following generation assertively reclaimed French as a Maghrebi language, acculturated and subverted it to serve their own purposes, not just to 'write back' to the former colonizers but also to communicate to each other (Laachir, 2015: 6).

  • The Beauties of Lucknow: an Urdu Photographic Album
    Journal of Journal of urdu studies 1 (2020) 141-176 URDU STUDIES brill.com/urds The Beauties of Lucknow: An Urdu Photographic Album Kathryn Hansen Professor Emeritus, Department of Asian Studies, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA [email protected] Abstract ʿAbbās ʿAlī of Lucknow published several volumes of photographs which were unique in being accompanied by text in English and Urdu. The Beauties of Lucknow (1874), an album of female performers and costumed actors from the Indar Sabhā, is attributed to him. Based on examination of the rare book in five archival locations, this article accounts for the variations among them. It distinguishes between the photographer’s authorial intentions and the agency of artisans, collectors, and others who altered the artifact at various stages. Comparison of the textual apparatus of the English and Urdu editions reveals the author’s mode of address to different audiences. The Urdu intro- duction, saturated with poetic tropes, provides insight into ways of viewing photo- graphs as formulated among the local cognoscenti. The article proposes that ʿAbbās ʿAlī’s book was meant as a private gift, as well as a publication for wider circulation. Keywords History of photography – ʿAbbās ʿAlī – Lucknow – female performers – Urdu theatre and drama 1 Introduction In 2014, a set of images from The Beauties of Lucknow, an Indian photographic album published in 1874, appeared online in Tasveer Journal from Bangalore.

  • Stories of Bengal Itinerary
    Bengal was the hotbed of India’s independence movement but it’s place in the annals of history was established long before the British came to India. There was a time when Bengal (undivided) contributed to 12% of the worlds GDP. Her soil produced yards of silk, muslin, jute, tea & spice and traders from across the world sailed to her shores. Over the centuries, Bengal’s rich history, heritage & architecture, vibrant festivals and celebrations, and of course the delicious cuisines, have made it a hub of colour and creativity. In addition, it has been an intellectual hub for many visionaries from poets, artists, film-makers, scientists, academicians and thinkers. On this journey, we will experience the regal splendour of Bengal and experience her stories through rich art & architecture, incredible textiles, delectable cuisine and much more as we weave our way from Kolkatta to Murshidabad, Shantiniketan and Bishnupur.

BAYLY Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of St Catharine's College and JOHN F. RICHARDS Professor of History, Duke University Although the original Cambridge History of India, published between 1922. and 1937, did much to formulate a chronology for Indian history and de- scribe the administrative structures of government in India, it has inevitably been overtaken by the mass of new research published over the last fifty years. Designed to take full account of recent scholarship and changing concep- tions of South Asia's historical development, The New Cambridge History of India will be published as a series of short, self-contained volumes, each dealing with a separate theme and written by a single person. Within an overall four-part structure, thirty-one complementary volumes in uniform format will be published. As before, each will conclude with a substantial bib- liographical essay designed to lead non-specialists further into the literature. The four parts planned are as follows: I The Mughals and their contemporaries II Indian states and the transition to colonialism III The Indian Empire and the beginnings of modern society IV The evolution of contemporary South Asia A list of individual titles in preparation will be found at the end of the volume.
