An Indian for All Seasons by Meenakshi Mukherjee Pdf

This rich biography, coinciding with his death centenary, illuminates the remarkable journey of Romesh Chunder Dutt (1848-“1909) situated at the cusp of two centuries and two world views. It traces Dutt's eventful life-from his running away to England at the age of twenty, and being an exemplary ICS officer (the second Indian in the service), to his early retirement and entry into politics, and becoming president of the Indian National Congress in 1899. Dutt's contribution as an economic historian, a translator of Sanskrit epics into English, and a novelist in Bengali, are elaborately discussed and the contradictions in his attitudes to language, to colonialism, and to religion acknowledged. Featuring Curzon, Naoroji, Vidyasagar, Bankimchandra, Gokhale, Sayaji Rao Gaekwad and other luminaries of the national movement, this meticulously researched and elegantly written book captures an extraordinary moment in modern Indian history and will be enjoyed by a wide range of readers.

Cooking for All Seasons by Jasleen Dhamija Pdf

An exciting new cookbook from the best-selling author of The Joy of Vegetarian Cooking In India, especially in those parts of it that enjoy a clear distinction between summer and winter, spring and monsoon, cuisines rely equally upon the seasonal availability of ingredients and received wisdom about what constitutes a healthy diet at a particular time of the year. In this unusual cookbook, Jasleen organizes her menus around the weather and shows us how to make the most of each season by using what is plentiful (and cheap) and creating tasty, low-fat dishes that are easy to prepare and far from time consuming. There are cool sharbets and soups for summer, sizzling kababs and grills for those cold winter nights, snacks and light picnic menus for spring, and a delectable selection of all-season menus that include recipes from different parts of the world including Egypt, Iran, the Far East and Europe, sometimes improvised to suit the Indian palate and the Indian kitchen.

Onigamiising by Linda LeGarde Grover Pdf

Long before it came to be known as Duluth, the land at the western tip of Lake Superior was known to the Ojibwe as Onigamiising, “the place of the small portage.” There the Ojibwe lived in keeping with the seasons, moving among different camps for hunting and fishing, for cultivating and gathering, for harvesting wild rice and maple sugar. In Onigamiising Linda LeGarde Grover accompanies us through this cycle of the seasons, one year in a lifelong journey on the path to Mino Bimaadiziwin, the living of a good life. In fifty short essays, Grover reflects on the spiritual beliefs and everyday practices that carry the Ojibwe through the year and connect them to this northern land of rugged splendor. As the four seasons unfold—from Ziigwan (Spring) through Niibin and Dagwaagin to the silent, snowy promise of Biboon—the award-winning author writes eloquently of the landscape and the weather, work and play, ceremony and tradition and family ways, from the homey moments shared over meals to the celebrations that mark life’s great events. Now a grandmother, a Nokomis, beginning the fourth season of her life, Grover draws on a wealth of stories and knowledge accumulated over the years to evoke the Ojibwe experience of Onigamiising, past and present, for all time.
