The volume makes extensive use of archival records to describe the working and personal lives of women under indenture. The ...

A Índia é tudo aquilo que um turista vê. Mas também o seu oposto. Os contrastes estão a cada esquina. O país é espiritual e material; pacífico e violento; rico e pobre; antigo e moderno. A jornalista Florência Costa—que tem laços de família com a Índia, onde viveu por muitos anos—nos leva à cozinha indiana, com seus múltiplos temperos; às festas monumentais de casamentos arranjados; à espiritualidade e às religiões e até aos banheiros (raros).

The last decade of the 19th Century and first decade of 20th Century witnessed the emergence of a younger group within the Congress which was sharply critical of the methods of the old leadership. The new group came to be called the Extremists while the older one to be referred as Moderates. The credit of leavening Indian polities with this national spirit undoubtedly goes to Bal Gangadhar Tilak. He was the first Indian leader to impress upon the men of learning and light in the country that unless they had the support of the people, they would not attain their objective. Tilak clashed with...

During the more than two decades publishing the Journal of Asian Martial Arts, we were fortunate to have Dr. Phillip Zarrilli on our Editorial Board. Internationally known for training actors through an infusion of Asian martial arts and yoga elements, he was a devoted teacher and theatre director/ performer.

The Chandelas of Jijekabhukti were the dynasty which built the fine temples of Khajuraho. They were also the dynasty which opposed Mahmud of Ghazni when he attacked and plundered the Indian subcontinent in the eleventh century. As such I thought them deserving of some mention and hence this book was written, if for no other reason than that they give an idea of Indian life, kingdoms and the development of societal beliefs in the transitional period from ancient to medieval India. Because of the lack of informative history writing among the Hindus, the sources of information are eulogies of ...

“He who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God, or a woman, can wear it with impunity.” So goes an old Hindi curse placed on the Kohinoor. The book traces the history of the Kohinoor and the history of all those whose hands it passes through to chronicle the violent fates that befell those who owned it. From its first known possible mention as the Syamantaka of the Krishna story to its passage to the hands of Babur and his family, down to Nadir Shah, Ahmed Shah Abdali, Ranjit Singh and finally the British, the story is elaborated.
