Their understanding of South Asian trade and India was sketchy at best, and, to the Mughals, they were minor players on a very large stage. Roe was representing a kingdom that was beset by financial woes and deeply conflicted about its identity as a unified Great Britain under the Stuart monarchy. Meanwhile, the court he entered in India was wealthy and cultured, its dominion widely considered to be one of the greatest and richest empires of the world.In Nandini Das's fascinating history of Roe's four years in India, she offers an insider's view of a Britain in the making, a country whose imperial seeds were just being sown. It is a story of palace intrigue and scandal, lotteries and wagers that unfolds as global trade begins to stretch from Russia to Virginia, from West Africa to the Spice Islands of Indonesia.A major debut that explores the art, literature, sights and sounds of Jacobean London and Imperial India, Courting India reveals Thomas Roe's time in the Mughal Empire to be a turning point in history and offers a rich and radical challenge to our understanding of Britain and its early empire.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. India has never been a land of mono-culture. The subcontinent, on the contrary, has always been a melting pot of languages, religions, belief systems, social hierarchies and myriads of fine arts, performing arts and applied arts and crafts. In music alone, there have been multiple strands: devotional, ethnic, folk and popular varieties, among others. In Indian classical music, however, there has been a remarkably unified approach since the Vedic times up to the middle ages: beginning with Ssam Gaans / Gadharva Gaans, various forms of Pabandhas, and then a variety of Dhruvapadas / Dhrupads until the 13th century. The context for "re-imagining" Indian classical music is because, (as noted by the great musicologist, Thakur Jaidev Singh), Raja Man Singh (1486-1516) of Gwalior gave a new orientation to Salaga-Suda-Prabandha, with the assistance of Nayaka Bakshu and Lohang and Pandviya, who had come from the South. Due to Islamaisation, many Sanskrit musical treatises were not fully followed. Especially, the singing style got relaxed into giving vent to a lot of improvisations (as, for instance, in Alaap in Bada Kayal and Chhota Khayal) and Bol Banao, Bhao Batao, etc., in Thumri) in the Muslim period in the North; while Kritis and Keertans by the renowned "Music Trinity" (Thyagaraja, Shyama Sastry, Mthuswamy Dikshiter) and Keertanas by Annamacharya, both in Tamil and Telugu, remained fixed in musical memory of the masses over time. Thus, gradually, Indian classical music bifurcated into Hindustani and Carnatic systems, as noted by Sharanga Deva in his Sangeet Ratnakar in 13th-15th century. Again, in a nutshell, two major differences between the two systems remained in time, namely, first, preponderance of only devotional compositions in the Carnatic system against total secularity in the Hindustani compositions and, second, minor role assigned to improvisational Nirbalas in Carnatic music against a very great dominance of improvisations in Hindustani music.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'A perspective-altering take on a world we usually think of in far more domestic terms. A ground-breaking masterwork' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE'Triumphant . . . Cinematic . . . No one who reads this book will ever see Tudor and Stuart history in the same light again' JOHN GUY, LITERARY REVIEW'Many books claim to be a new way of looking at history, but this book truly is' FINANCIAL TIMESThe prize-winning author uncovers the revelatory global story of Tudor and Stuart England - told through the merchants, migrants, sailors, travellers and spies who helped forge a nation.The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries forged a powerful image of England Shakespeares scepterd isle, proud and apart, defined by royal spectacle and myth. But beneath this familiar narrative of ruffs and gowns, kings and queens, lies a more complex and connected reality.England at this time was far from insular. Travelling in and out of the country were Venetian glassmakers with English wives, African innkeepers and Native American envoys. There were people like the Flemish artist Levina Teerlinc, probably the only painter to be employed by four English monarchs. There was William Adams, a Kentish navigator who became Japan's first English samurai. And there was Elizabeth Key, daughter of an enslaved mother in the colony in Virginia, who battled in the courts for herself and her son.Drawing on extensive archival research, attentive to the textures of daily life, yet alive to the sweep of history, This Little World offers a startlingly new, globally resonant vision of Englands past and what it meant to be English. It is a story of a nation in the making on the cusp of empire told through the traces of those often written out of it. In reframing Englands story within a wider world, it challenges us to rethink some of our most fundamental ideas: about nationhood, about identity, and above all, about belonging.
