Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. A fascinating portrait of the life and ideas of the great Indian writer and public intellectual, U.R. Ananthamurthy.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. "Ram is the perfection of the limited personality, Krishna of the exuberant personality and Siva of the nondimensional personality." Lohia's elaboration of these "categories of perfection" is an absolute delight. During his entire career, Sir M Visversvaraya carried two pens on him, one of which belonged to the government and the other to him. He always used the former pen for office work and the latter for personal work. After possessing a devotee, a deity called Doddaswamy would start whistling with his fingers in his mouth. His devotees are to address him only through whistles. Another deity from Gulbarga district, Gajalakshmi, expected her devotees to bare all their teeth in her presence. Free ranging, delightful and erudite, Another India opens up the varied dimension of the past, discloses the subtle facets of religious experiences, and diversifies our imagination of tradition and suggests ways of reengaging it. It shares exciting stories about lesser-known and well-known figures in our country, from Bhimavva and Mastani Maa to Gandhi and Tagore. This book brings to you the many events, thoughts, people, who have been waylaid in our frequent quests for single, mainstream narratives. It brings to you the intricate cultural universe of India, where creative dissent has shaped the ethos, where rich visions and values of living together continue to hold sway in our constant striving to be a better, more just polity and society.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. U. R. Ananthamurthy (19322014), writer, teacher, literary critic, and public intellectual, was born in Shivamogga district in Karnataka. In 1965, his debut novel, Samskara, took the literary world by storm with its unflinching portrayal of the rigid orthodoxy in Brahmin society. Since then, it has become a landmark novel of the modernist, or Navya, movement of the 1950s and 1960s in Kannada literature. In a career that spanned more than five decades, Ananthamurthy wrote five novels, several collections of short stories, poetry, and essays, a play, and an autobiography. He received the Jnanpith Award, India's highest literary honour, in 1994, and was nominated for the Man Booker International Prize in 2013. The Essential U. R. Ananthamurthy is a five-part compendium of select fictional and non-fictional works, poetry, and autobiographical writings from one of India's most illustrious and outspoken writers. The section 'Novels' portrays characters in conflict with tradition, idealism, and modernity in a rapidly changing independent India through excerpts from powerful novels such as Samskara, Bharathipura, Avasthe, and Bhava. 'Poetry' presents five evocative poems on the themes of power and politics. 'Short Stories' highlights the chief themes that preoccupied Ananthamurthythe constraints of the traditional order, the cultural dominance of the West, the sinister workings of power, and the creativity of political dissent. 'Essays and Speeches' captures the range and depth of Ananthamurthy's democratic imagination through his writings on cultural identity and literature, community and creativity, linguistic and nationalist politics, and on figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Ram Manohar Lohia. And, the final section, 'Memoirs', gathers Ananthamurthy's memories of family, friendships, work, and travel from the different phases of his life. The Essential U. R. Ananthamurthy offers a rich glimpse into the mind of one of modern India's most profound writers and thinkers and demonstrates why Ananthamurthy's works will endure for generations to come.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Longing for an Elsewhere is about the colonial ancestry of India's contemporary embrace of economic development. Unlike existing scholarship that traces the emergence of the developmental state to the mid-twentieth century process of decolonization, the book argues that these origins are anchored in the preoccupation of colonized Indian elites with emulating the industrial modernity of Europe and the United States and seeking civilizational recognition for attaining progress. Beyond re-periodizing the birth of development discourse, the book argues that culture actively shapes a putatively economic process such as development. Specifically, it examines the chief cultural factors that guided the ideas and endeavours of the princely state of Mysore for achieving development during its period of British indirect rule (1881-1947).Historians and social scientists have tended to overlook semiautonomous polities in colonial India like Mysore that were neither fully colonized nor independent. The Mysore state elite took advantage of their political semiautonomy afforded by British indirect rule to initiate a range of development schemes. Drawing on underexplored archival evidence, the book shows that the elite adopted a creative amalgam of diverse strands of European thought within a colonized milieu to forge practices of state development in colonial India. Analyzing the institutional dynamics of three elite-led state projects in Mysore, Gowda argues that the state's support for these projects can be explained by a belief in the inevitability of industrial modernity and a claim for recognition of Mysore's capacity for progress. A focus on the operation of this cultural logic allows us to arrive at a cultural theory of the developmental state. Gowda also examines an important episode of dissent against a development scheme in Mysore, underscoring the paramount value of epistemic introspection and democratic deliberation in state planning. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book draws from debates in sociology, history, and anthropology.
