Soft cover. Zustand: New. Written after the great war of Kurukshetra, Shanti Parva, the twelfth book of the Mahabharata, is a treatise on peace, the ideals of statehood and peaceful governance, which also simultaneously justifies upper-caste hegemony, hierarchy and the need for organised violence. Des Raj Kali's Shanti Parav, in… contrast, brilliantly parodies the 'peace' claims of its source text and provides a radical Dalit response from the margins of history to these justifications of the ruling elitethrough gentle interrogation, subversive literary technique and fragments of alternate history. A post-Independence novel set in the heartland of Punjab, Shanti Parav invites a study of post-colonial socio-political dynamics in India from a Punjabi Dalit perspective. It locates the Dalit within the castereligionpower nexus, and furnishes alternate narratives of the freedom struggle, terrorism, state violence, development, capitalism and democracy. The proletarian context of Shanti Parav is harsh and stark, but also colourful, irreverent, carnivalesque, even absurd. Boldly experimental, the novel has a dual narrative which playfully challenges the reader to acquire new ways of reading and interpreting a text. The 'fictional' text in the upper half of the page narrates autobiographical stories that recount the struggles and joys of the protagonist's immediate, everyday subaltern world, while in the lower half run 'realistic', quirky, grand historical monologues by three retired Dalit characters who offer philosophical discourses on governance, violence and peace. A compelling read, Kali powerfully documents alternate lived realities in India.

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Very Good. A unique piece of WW2 era Thomas Cook British Raj history. Two related letters describing and confirming the Ruler of Wankaner (Maharana Raj Sahib Amarsinhji Banesinhji)'s support for Thomas Cook's new Expeditionary Force Supplies Service for France, Egypt and the Near East. Very good, pinned toge…ther, centre-folded, and 2-hole punched with no impact on the content. LETTER 1: 2pp, 21x26cm, signed typescript with the letterhead of Thomas Cook, Hornby Road, Bombay, dated 5 December 1939, and referenced "JW". This was sent by G(?) Brown to Mr Rao Bahadur Devchand I. Mehta, BA, Home Member, Wankaner State. Acting on behalf of Thomas Cook's Chairman, Brown is asking Mehta to inform "His Highness" of their new Expeditionary Force Supplies Service "which, it is felt, will have a special appeal to the principal Rulers of Indian States and other notabilities who are interested in the welfare of those who are serving with the Expeditionary Force in France and also those stationed in Egypt and the near East". He describes how the service will supply parcels to troops serving abroad, Prisoners of War and Internees at various rates. Thomas Cook has entered into agreements with manufacturers and wholesalers to supply a wide range of goods not included in standard Army rations including clothing, gramophones, other musical instruments and "innumerable other articles". Brown encourages the Ruling Princes to use the service to benefit their troops abroad, and to include best wishes and compliments cards in the parcels. He explains flexibility in distribution. He advises that Thomas Cook has been building up a stock of supplies in the face of growing restrictions, that special arrangements are being made for Christmas and the New Year, and that the scheme "will be a permanent one during the War, as it is the aim of the Company to maintain this unusual service throughout the hostilities, for the convenience of its clientele and as a practical service to those serving with the Colours". Brown refers to descriptive pamphlets that are not included here, and asks for His Highness' "early consideration to these proposals so that the requirements might be advised to London as soon as possible". // LETTER 2: (1)pp foolscap with Hindusthan Bond / Made in India watermark. Typed reply referenced No. 1707 of 1939, dated The Secretariat, Wankaner, 14 December 1939, signed presumably by Mehta. This acknowledges receipt of Brown's letter, and "On placing the contents of the same before His Highness I am directed to inform you that the scheme is no doubt a commendable one and we shall avail of it whenever necessary". (The back of Letter 1 has ms inscription possibly a commentary in Gujarati, with the same signature as on Letter 2).

Earthwork has recently been started on the Nagbeer-Chanda section, length of 66 miles.

In den WarenkorbSingh was deposed by the British in 1889, with accusations of misgovernment, disloyal dealings with the Russian Empire, and a plot to murder his brothers and the British Resident, but as this was deemed contrary to the 1846 Treaty of Amritsar he was reinstated, but with a new ruling council was forced upon him, under the supervi…sion of the Resident. Two slips of paper cut from a letter for display in an album. Both somewhat discoloured and a little ruckled. All the writing is in the same ink, but it is not clear whether the text of the letter is in a secretarial hand. The first slip (5.5 x 10 cm) carries the valediction, with Singh's sprawling signature: 'Your most sincere friend / Pratap Singh / Maharaja'. On the other side: 'My dear Friend, / I have [.] / Whenever your kind [.] / the 5th instant, [.] / that you intend [.]'.

In den WarenkorbEight witty and attractive caricatures, in a sub-Punch style. All eight in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Each in black ink on a separate piece of paper, five of them 33.5 x 21.5 cm, and three of them 21 x 17 cm. The context of the caricatures is at present obscure, but would undoubtedly make itself clear with specialist… research. The five largest illustrations are: ONE: Caption: 'Please to remember | The twenty-seventh of November | The "Bilk-Powder" treason and plot'. Balding European in dress uniform, sitting on a powder barrel on which is written: 'Finest high explosives | Bilk Powder | Mahomed Arif & Co | Sole Manufacturers | Guaranteed to retain | its power even | after four years.'

Same balding individual portrayed as a Regency duellist, waiting pensively with pistol in hand at a stile, as dapper figure with monocle and cane approaches. Musical phrase at foot, with words: 'Somebodys waiting for Somebody. | OLD SONG'. THREE: Caption: 'Another musical "hit" in "The Marriage Market" at Daly's | "Slippery Jack" sings a pathetic BIlk Ballad accompanied by the full band of the G.C.M.' Same balding individual on stage in cowboy costume, with marching band of Indian musicians behind him, and monocled figure peeping out from behind curtain. Musical phrase at foot with words: 'My wife will tell the Public of the way that I've been served'. FOUR: Caption: 'Ragtime in Camp | Jemadar Amwalla and The Old Atasi Troupe. | "Oooohhhh! he's just meant for kings and queens | "Dont yer ask us what he means ("Topkhanah ke awaz par tumhara dil burra hojata") | We just love that Hitchy Koo | Hitchy Koo Hitchy Koo'. Balding individual in military fatigues at back of stage, doing something akin to a Hitler salute while saying 'Kan Kholo | Bloody Monkey', while five portly Indian men (four in military unfiform) perform music, four on instruments and one singing. FIVE: Caption: 'Il Trovatore | Act 4 Scene 19 | Leonora* [* Alias "Alicemary".] from without deplores the fate of her lover and is answered from within the prison by Manrico | Manrico "Tho' for one year we sever | "Thou wilt remember me. | "In the "Madras Times", there thou wilt champion me | Alicemary mine! we part but not for ever'. The balding figure in a cell in chains, with a view of a woman through barred gothic windows behind him. The three smaller illustrations are: SIX: Dated in bottom right-hand corner 'C. | Cannanore | 1913'. Musical phrase at foot with words: 'and the truth shall ever come uppermost and justice shall be done | OLD SONG'. Regency scene featuring five Western individuals in a tavern (including monocled figure) and twittish toff outside window, stalking with a gun. SEVEN: Caption: 'Serenade | "Bilkeuse" by Il Domeni'. Balding individual in Elizabethan dress, serenades Indian figure at window: 'Bilk on, oh Bilk | Sweet Aaaaaaaarif | Oh Bilk again once more! | Bilk oooonnnn!'

Five Western individuals in military dress uniform, asleep on a bench, while behind them turns a merry-go-round, with a number of western and Indian figures on the horses. The word 'J'accuse' in small letters at head, as well as '8 Shies at the CO for penny'. Sample scan (slight loss through sixe of scanner bed.

In den WarenkorbAlthough there is no clear connection, the present unpublished poem dates from around the same time as Edward Lear was drawing watercolours in the place referred to in it. Vidya Dehejia's'Impossible Picturesqueness / Edward Lear's Indian Watercolours, 1873-1875' (1989) describes how Lear visited 'The two small hill-stations of M…atheran and Mahabaleshwar near Bombay'. Of the former Lear wrote: 'Matheran by the bye, has most probably been the original Eden - I don't mean the first Lord Auckland, - but Paradise -'. More to the point, Lear was 'amused to find that Matheran had a croquet ground, 'a place set apart for Great Britainish games, and where T is made o' the evenings, and sports played.' 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Text and cartoon clear and complete, but on paper of poor condition, aged and worn with damage at head of both leaves, which are nearly detached from one another. The only evidence with regard to authorship is the fact that the paper carries a blue crest of a lion statant. First page headed: 'Lines on a picture of "Croquet at Materan" by a Cynic.' The poem is forty lines long and divided into four sections. Cultured and amusing, it is well worthy of publication. It begins: 'The gods have chosen a stifling spot / Where the ground is flat if the air is hot / The summons goes forth to nymphs and swains / "Come and play croquet on Materan plains, / and that no grace be wanting today, / The celestial band by your side shall play." / Now lead out the orses, sound "saddle and boot." / Those who can't ride may tramp it afoot. / And ladies (of course) in a "delicate state" / May consign to a tonjon their duplicate weight.' The second section reads: 'Dowdy women and shabby men, / Noisy musicians, nine or ten. / Raffish youths without name or pelf, / Raw girls, too conscious each of herself. / Respectable prosers, you there may see / And virtuous dames with babes on their knee. / There's a Member of Council with gouty toe - / How far on shall the catalogue go? / Tattoos and coolies complete the scene / Such is the group on the croquet green.' Lucretian reference in conclusion: 'De fonte leprosum ('twas long said) / Surgit amari aliquid. / The grapes for a while with joy you press / But the last of their savour is bitterness.' Beneath this, at the foot of the third page is a small but very well drawn image of a bewhiskered Victorian head (self-portrait by author?) holding before his face a moon-shaped mask of comedy. For more information see 'Matheran Hill: Its People, Plants, and Animals. By J. Y. Smith, M.D., Bombay Medical Staff' (2nd ed., Bombay, 1881). The fourth page of the bifolium has a short note in another hand, as follows: "Read this and return it to me please. It is poor Ed. Howards-" See Images.
