Situated in the high desert reaches of the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges and frequently presented as a remote and isolated part of the world Ladakh has actually been a crossroads for the transmission of goods and ideas for at least a thousand years. From the 10 century it was an independent country ruled by the Buddhist Namgyal dynasty until 1834 when it was annexed by the Dogras the Hindu rulers of Jammu. Well into the 20 century Ladakh was a key staging post on Central and South Asian trade routes and the region hosted visitors hailing from Srinagar to Yarkand. This cosmopolitanism is reflected in the arts and material heritage where indigenous Ladakhi expression is often intermixed with Tibetan Kashmiri and Central Asian elements. Some art forms display considerable continuities with the past while others are distinguished by the unique cultural practices of subregional communities such as the textiles of nomadic pastoralists inhabiting the Northeastern parts of Ladakh. This is the first volume to combine essays on the history and ongoing production of art in Ladakh and to recognize both Buddhist and Islamic contributions to the cultural environment. Drawing on recent research in the region this book covers subjects ranging from the analysis of key sites and prominent contemporary artists through to the interpretation of metalwork jewellery and textiles. The essays are written by internationally acknowledged experts from a broad spectrum of disciplines including historians and anthropologists. Richly illustrated this publication will appeal to those with an interest in the Himalayas art Buddhism and Islam. 124 pp.

Madras Queen of the Coromandel/Lakshmi Subramanian. Index. Contributors. The maritime profile of the Indian subcontinent has emerged in recent years as an important area of historical investigation and has revived interest in port cities which are transit points for a whole range of new developments from colonialism to consumption from cosmopolitan cultural expressions to expanding economic opportunities. Central to the maritime story has been the rise and fall of the Indian city which was the conduit for change and transformation the crucible of culture and exchange. From the towns of the Indus Civilization and urban centres of Ancient India to the Mughal ports and the cities of colonial times there is an underlying thread of continuity that is related to the functions and potential of urban formations. This volume profiles Indian cities along the vertices of overseas trade and thereby charts Indian maritime history from a new vantage point that does not adhere to conventional assumptions of subcontinental politics. In addressing some of these issues of historiography through a survey of select port cities over along time period this book attempts to redress the land bias that has characterized the writing of India's history. 168 pp.

Tapassattom. Glossary. List of technical terms. Few performing art forms are marked by the dramatic dynamics that govern Kathakali from the culturally rich Southern Indian state of Kerala. The dance characterized by a unique feature its staunch distance from worldly reality selects to include within its scope only the most supernatural and mythological aspects concerning the lives and affairs of celestial beings deities demons and sages. An elaborately defined code of body kinetics combined with beautifully eloquent hand gestures called mudras are enhanced by stylized make up and costumes to provide the several appropriate symbolic nuances typifying Kathakali. The artiste besides makes little attempt to internalize the emotions of the character he portrays. Instead he enlivens his performance through the dimension of life breath or Prana in Sattwikabhinaya and infuses soul into his performance through rasabhinaya or emotional acting. Exaggerated and extravagant his histrionics enunciate a powerful language all their own creating as poetic field of expression that needs prodigious imagination on the part of the viewer to fully appreciate a performance. This double volume comprehensively explores the interpretative medium detailing such fascinating stage aspects as Aharya and Angikabhinaya along with an intricate pattern of music and rhythmics employed in Kathakali. Renowned scholars and performers additionally describe the textual sources for performances discuss reputed Kathakali institutes and outline the rigours of the disciplined training routine involved before a student makes his debut as a full fledged dancer. A rare insight into what is probably the most compelling art form. 204 pp.
