Soft cover. Zustand: New. A SEARING NOVEL ABOUT HOW SMALL-TOWN INDIA GOT POLARISED BY ADVANI'S RATH YATRA AND HOW THE SEEDS OF A MILITANT HINDU NATIONALISM WERE SOWN. Mohalla Aramganj is abuzz with wild conjectures about the impending arrival of L.K. Advani's Ram Rath. Folk who could barely rouse themselves for the anti-Mandal agitation are now astirwhat does their love of Ram call them to do? Conversations change, relationships are strained, new animosities crop up. How does all this ferment affect the swashbuckling 'Mohammadiya Hindu' Ashiq Miyan, renowned Rambhakt and proprietor of the Two-in-One Tailoring shop? In this astutely crafted novel, Rakesh Kayasth deploys a Greek chorus of people's fears, arguments and judgements to portray the social conundrum of India's heartland. A microcosm of India, Aramganj's cast of small-town characters embodies caste pride, religious superstition and patriarchy, all of which have a hand in the grisly climax of this story. 1990, Aramganj is set in a watershed moment in Indian history, one that led to a rapid seeding of Hindu consciousness. A blistering novel by one of Hindi's most inventive writers.…

From the Foreword: The documentation of architectural heritage is a practice that started in Europe with diligent antiquarians in the 17th century. William Dougdale, for example, published The Antiquities of Warwickshire Illustrated as early as 1656. Michel Felibien followed in 1706 with the Histoire de I' Abbaye Royal de Saint-Denis en France. During the 19th century the techniques of preparing measured drawings developed further as a means of preparing inventories of protected monuments. No intervention was to be undertaken without prior documentation of the existing situation. British archaeologists and engineers produced maps and measured drawings which allowed James Fergusson to write a History of Indian and Eastern Architecture in 1876. Posted at Benares, James Prinsep was among the first to document prominent temples upon his arrival in 1820. Published in 1833, Princep's Benares Illustrated in a series of drawings achieved a high standard. To present the architecture of Nepal and Tibet Fergusson used four photographs taken by Clarence Comyn Taylor in 1863 and two sketches prepared by the Newar painter Rajman Singh in ca. 1843, the latter commissioned by the British resident Brian Houghton Hodgson. Among the drawings by Rajman Singh which are kept in the collection of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland in London, are four ground plans of temples. The following 120 years saw photographers and art historians passing through the Kathmandu Valley, but no documentation of the rich architectural heritage was executed.…
