  • A Study on Islamic Human Figure Representation in Light of a Dancing Scene
    Hanaa M. Adly A Study on Islamic Human Figure Representation in Light of a Dancing Scene Islamic decoration does indeed know human figures. This is a controversial subject1, as many Muslims believe that there can be no figural art in an Islamic context, basing their beliefs on the Hadith. While figural forms are rare in Muslim religious buildings, in much of the medieval Islamic world, figural art was not only tolerated but also encouraged.2 1 Richard Ettinghausen, ‘Islamic Art',’ The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, (1973) xxxiii , 2‐52, Nabil F. Safwat, ‘Reviews of Terry Allen: Five Essays on Islamic Art,’ ix. 131, Sebastopol, CA, 1988, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies (BSOAS), (London: University of London, 1990), liii . 134‐135 [no. 1]. 2 James Allan, ‘Metalwork Treasures from the Islamic Courts,’ National Council for Culture, Art and Heritage, 2004, 1. 1 The aim of this research is to develop a comprehensive framework for understanding figurative art. This research draws attention to the popularization of the human figures and their use in Islamic art as a means of documenting cultural histories within Muslim communities and societies. Drinking, dancing and making music, as well as pastimes like shooting fowl and chasing game, constitute themes in Islamic figurative representations.3 Out of a number of dancing scenes. in particular, I have selected two examples from the Seljuqs of Iran and Anatolia in the 12th‐13th. centuries.4 One scene occurs on a ceramic jar (Pl. 1) and the other on a metal candlestick (Pl. 2).5 Both examples offer an excellent account of the artistic tradition of the Iranian people, who since antiquity have played an important role in the evolution of the arts and crafts of the Near East.6 The founder of the Seljuq dynasty, Tughril, took the title of Sultan in Nishapur in 1037 when he occupied Khurasan and the whole of Persia.

  • Sri Aurobindo's Aswapati
    Sri Aurobindo’s Aswapati : Negotiating the Vedic ‘Horse’ as a Symbol Rudrashis Datta Raiganj B. Ed. College, Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal Abstract The horse has occupied a pride of place among the animals in most civilizations since ancient times, more so in the Vedic age where it was not only used as a military asset but also as a powerful symbol that concerned the kings and the subjects alike. However, it is in its symbolic context that the horse or aswa in Sanskrit has generated multiple interpretations. This study focuses on some of the symbolic aspects of the horse as evident in early Vedic Sanskrit texts and highlights the interpretation of Sri Aurobindo which served in significantly bringing down semantic differences in the context of the horse symbol. Aswapati, an important character in Sri Aurobindo’s epic Savitri is an elaborate illustration of Sri Aurobindo’s reading of the aswa as representative of ‘prana’ or life energy. This study illustrates that Sri Aurobindo’s approach essentially harmonized the varied and often conflicting nuances which were generated as different systems of interpretations approached the symbol in accordance with their limited range of belief systems. [Keywords: Sri Aurobindo, Savitri, Aswapati, Horse, Symbol] It is perhaps universally accepted that the horse has occupied a primal place among animals in the context of the classical Sanskrit texts right up to the puranas. Aswa, as it was so termed, was a prized creature since the early Vedic age largely because of the leverage it gave to humans in terms of its mobility, agility and resilience.

  • The Ottoman Policy Towards Non-Muslim Communities and Their Status in the Ottoman Empire During the 15Th & 16Th Centuries: Interaction of Civilizations Mughul, M
    2137 THE OTTOMAN POLICY TOWARDS NON-MUSLIM COMMUNITIES AND THEIR STATUS IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE DURING THE 15TH & 16TH CENTURIES: INTERACTION OF CIVILIZATIONS MUGHUL, M. Yakub* PAKİSTAN/PAKISTAN/ПАКИСТАН ABSTRACT This paper focuses on Ottomans liberal policy and tolerance towards the non- Muslims and other religious communities during 15th, 16th century. In particular, it explores the key role of Sultan Mohammad-II in consolidating and harmonizing different cultures and religions across Europe and Asia. The paper also addresses the Islamic attitude towards inter-religious relations, which was at that time quite unknown in rest of Europe, where they were burning its heretics at the stake, whereas races and religions coexisted under the Ottoman rule. It will highlight how the advent of Ottoman Rule in Eastern Europe brought the Muslim and European Civilizations face to face, which ultimately created an interaction among them. Finally, it will describe the image of the millet system introduced during this period, which brought all non-Muslim communities within the Turkish commonwealth, and allowed them to govern itself by its own laws and live in peace in the Ottoman Empire. Key Words: Ottoman, policy, Empire, Constantinople, Turkish, history. INTRODUCTION The Ottoman Empire1 would be defined as a mosaic of different cultures and religions, which provided peace and harmony among members of society without distinction between Muslim and non-Muslim, race, and color. The story of Ottoman history involves not only the Ottoman dynasty but the many peoples who ruled the Empire and were ruled by it: Turks, Arabs, Serbs, Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Albanians, North Africans and others.

The steps to speech. This application helps user to type text followed to convert text to speech are described in Fig- and as output it gets the speech. The text inputted 1. may be written by the operator or it may be scanned paper that is converted to speech. Though the user gets its output but still conversion of text to speech is not an easy task. It involves a great deal of work to be performed perfectly [1]. It is difficult to create database of number of phonemes, syllables, words for a particular language. And then concatenating these syllables, phonemes to produce an effective speech as output from the TTS engine. In this Paper we have discussed the text to speech conversion for Punjabi (Gurmukhi) language. The paper also discusses various issues which were Fig 1: Steps in TTS system found when converting text to speech.

    The Gita according to GANDHI The Gospel of Selfless Action OR The Gita according to GANDHI By: Mahadev Desai First Published: August 1946 Printed & Published by: Vivek Jitendrabhai Desai Navajivan Mudranalaya Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) www.mkgandhi.org Page 1 The Gita according to GANDHI Forward The following pages by Mahadev Desai are an ambitious project. It represents his unremitting labours during his prison life in 1933-'34. Every page is evidence of his scholarship and exhaustive study of all he could lay hands upon regarding the Bhagavad Gita, poetically called the Song Celestial by Sir Edwin Arnold. The immediate cause of this labour of love was my translation in Gujarati of the divine book as I understood it. In trying to give a translation of my meaning of the Gita, he found himself writing an original commentary on the Gita. The book might have been published during his lifetime, if I could have made time to go through the manuscript. I read some portions with him, but exigencies of my work had to interrupt the reading. Then followed the imprisonments of August 1942, and his sudden death within six days of our imprisonment. All of his immediate friends decided to give his reverent study of the Gita to the public. He had copies typed for his English friends who were impatient to see the commentary in print. And Pyarelal, who was collaborator with Mahadev Desai for many years, went through the whole manuscript and undertook to perform the difficult task of proof reading. Hence this publication. Frankly, I do not pretend to any scholarship.
