Calendar 2017.Cdr Costumes of an Age 2017 Costumes of an Age ‘Costumes of India’ Taken on the stage after the formal show in 1953 or 1954. In this Homai Vyarawalla photograph, though mannequins are positioned in a manner that gives full prominence to the map of India, it appears to have been taken in haste: several are not looking their best and some are even partially hidden. Cover Image: ‘... when weaving was done in squares and stripes only’ Anjolie is wearing anikat sari in traditional colours of white, red and black representing knowledge, beauty/blood and Lord Jagganath, the presiding deity of Odisha.Ikat refers to the process by which the pre- Kathiawar court costume arranged pattern is produced by partly dyeing the warp and weft threads before they are woven.

  • A Tea Party Ruth Prawer Jhabvala Ruth Prawer Jh
    Unit – I: Wit and Humour & Sir Mokshagundam Vishveshvaraya Wit and Humour: A Tea Party - Ruth Prawer Jhabvala Ruth Prawer Jhabvala was born in Cologne, Germany, into a patriotic Jewish family. They escaped to Britain in April 1939. In 1951, she married Cyrus Jhabvala , a Parsee architect whom she had met in London, and went to live with him in Delhi. She plunged in 'total immersion' into India – the jasmine, the starlit nights, the temple bells, the holy men, the heat. She bore three daughters, wore the sari and wrote of India and the Indians as if she were Indian herself. But her passionate love for India changed into its opposite. By 1975, she found she could no longer write of it nor in it. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, died at the age of 85, achieved her greatest fame as a writer late in life, and for work she had once dismissed as a hobby – she had considered “writing film scripts” just as a recreation. Her original screenplays and adaptations of literary classics for the film producer Ismail Merchant and the director James Ivory were met with box-office and critical success. The trio met in 1961, and almost immediately became collaborators, as well as close and lifelong friends. Her dozen novels and eight collections of short stories (and other stories published in the New Yorker and elsewhere) won Jhabvala the admiration of the sternest critics of her time. Raymond Mortimer thought she beat all other western novelists in her understanding of modern India. To CP Snow, no other living writer better afforded readers that “definition of the highest art”, the feeling “that life is this and not otherwise”.

  • The Crafts Council of India “
    THE CRAFTS COUNCIL OF INDIA “...ng tnty rss n tr cr...” February 2018 An Exhibition in Calcutta 1922: Moorings of Indian Craft and Design Ahk Ch j The Crafts Councils and their colleagues have had such a tumultuous year of assault on artisans: first the impact of demonetization at a season that should provide peak earnings through craft sales, and then less than a year later with the organized chaos of GST, again at a time that has devastated artisans’ earnings. CCI has been in the forefront of working with partners and with authorities to find more humane and practical ways to ‘mainstream’ Indian craft, and to create a realization at the highest levels of policy-making that it is not artisans who need mainstreaming. Artisans in their millions, along with others still delegated to the humiliating category of ‘informal, unorganized sectors’, are the mainstream. These citizens constitute by far the bulk of India’s economic activity. It is the so-called formal sectors and decision-makers that are in dire need of being mainstreamed into an Indian reality. In the midst of our efforts at lifting the quality of sector data and advocating a GST interim period of review and capacity- building, some of us have also been trying to put together the proceedings of the 2016 CCI seminar on the craft legacy of Rabindranath Tagore. A century ago his efforts at Santiniketan encountered huge challenges of ignorance and disrespect for artisans and their heritage, at a time when enlightened souls in the West were attempting to humanize the industrial revolution through a revival of craft cultures.

And the important feature of the technique is the white outlining of the motifs. Also paisley motifs are arranged centrally in the palloo portion and all over ‘butties’ are in the body portion. Materials used Murshidabad variety of less twisted mulberry silk yarn was originally used in Baluchari sarees. Coarser silk varieties like matka silk was also used some time back.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.
