The Changing World of a Bombay Muslim Community, 1870 - 1945 by Salima Tyabji Pdf

Muslims formed a disparate and unwieldy community in Bombay in the nineteenth century. The Islam that was professedly held in common by various groups could barely provide a sense of unity or cohesion to people so widely diverse in terms of language, customs, and also of forms and practices of belief. By the middle of the nineteenth century, a class of wealthy ship owners, ship-builders, and merchants, belonging to the varied communities that constituted the city, of which Muslims formed an important part, had emerged. This class was outward-looking, modern, and generally reformist in outlook: Gujarati or Maharashtrian, its goals of social reform, education, as well as political awareness, were gradually beginning to be perceived as goals held across communities, and increasingly across different regions. The questions that were being raised in the social turmoil of the period amongst Hindus were over issues of female education, the age of marriage, widow remarriage, and female seclusion. These issues were not foreign to the Muslim community; and the part played by Muslim leaders in Bombay in discussing and negotiating them was not an insignificant one, taking into account the size and relative backwardness of the community. Within this context, this book traces the evolving identity of a Bombay family and its changing social and political views in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, using three main sources: their family journals, an individual memoir/journal, and letters written home from Europe.

The Lonely Monarch by Sunil Gangopadhyay Pdf

Calcutta, 1924. In the vibrant world of Bengali theatre, Sisirkumar Bhaduri, a young man of talent and vision, is king. A brilliant performer, he is loved and respected by his peers, adored by spectators and acknowledged as a master by Rabindranath Tagore himself. Yet, Sisirkumar remains passionately committed to a singular dream: to steer his audience away from the raucous melodrama that has come to be called entertainment toward an evolved enjoyment of stage performance. This searing novel brings to life Sisirkumar?s relentless efforts to free the stage of Western influences and mediocrity; his frustration and disillusionment with apathetic patrons and obdurate audiences; his ruinous weakness for alcohol; and the impossible ideals that alienated him from his closest friends and the women in his life. This translation of Sunil Gangopadhyay?s spirited recreation of the tumultuous life of a remarkable man and a defining era in the history of Indian theatre is a tribute to the might and resilience of the creative spirit.'

The Center of the Web by Delese Wear Pdf

The Center of the Web examines the complexities of how solitude is perceived by women. Each contributor describes how solitude is a dimension of her personal and public life: how she defines it, if and how she seeks it, where she finds it, and how it influences her life. The voices in the book come from varied vantage points, illuminating women's perspectives of solitude with regard to class, culture, race, and sexual identity. Some essays are grounded in philosophy, literature, or psychology, others are autobiographical, and some confront the seeming dichotomy of solitude on one hand, and care, connection, and responsibility on the other. With the contemporary focus on women's experiences grounded in context and connection to others, this book presents a perspective often overlooked or unexamined.

The Winds of Fortress Kula by Dora Van Vranken Pdf

Five young siblings—three sisters and two brothers—face death by exhaustion, starvation or epidemics in post-World War II Yugoslavia. As ethnic Germans living there, the family had been arrested and their property confiscated by the Communist government. This tale of courage and ingenuity brings into sharp focus a little-known episode in European history. It is told from Dora's vivid memory, supported in part by a tattered journal kept on their journey by her older sister, Irmgard. Dora's dedication to accuracy is reflected in every line. The five escape from their labor camps, and in the depth of winter cross three heavily-guarded borders. They trek from Yugoslavia into Romania, then Hungary, then Austria. Their only food and shelter are what they can find or are given along the way, and they spend many hungry nights in the freezing winds of open fields. They are caught and jailed several times, but escape or are released by sympathetic guards. The story reads like a novel, with plenty of suspense and sharp-eyed insight into character. There are scenes of spontaneous, open-handed generosity; there is bureaucratic heartlessness, and sheer meanness. At the beginning of their internment, as the family was being scattered into various labor camps, Dora's father—a Methodist pastor—blessed her: "Dora, my child, remember that knowing God is life's highest good. Perhaps the path you're now entering will be the one He'll meet you on. May God keep you safe, my child, and may He sustain you." More than once, when despair overwhelms the siblings, these words calm them and give them the courage to find yet another way to survive and persevere. Miraculously, they succeed. - Roger N. Pierce, Professor and Director of Theater, Stanford and UC Riverside, retired.
