SUMMARY:Charles Allen History and Myth: India and Britain Seventy Years On
DESCRIPTION:A fascinating exploration of the roots of Indian history by the acclaimed author of Ashoka.\n\nCoromandel was the name given by European traders to India’s south-eastern seaboard\, a corruption of the Tamil Cholamandalam\, after the temple-building Chola kings who ruled the southern peninsula for centuries prior to the Islamic invasions. \nIndian history tends to focus on Northern India\, but Coromandel will journey south\, exploring the less well-known\, often neglected and very different history and identity of the oldest India in the pre-Aryan Dravidian south. Highly acclaimed historian Charles Allen explores the astonishing Buddhist and Jain civilisations that flourished all along India’s eastern seaboard before Hinduism became the established religion. \nIn Coromandel\, Allen continues his investigation into early Indian history\, begun in Ashoka. At each point in his journey through the Indian south he meets local historians\, gurus\, politicians and other colourful personalities\, and with their help uncovers some extraordinary stories about the past. This is a traveller’s tale\, and as Allen moves through contemporary India\, he discovers as much about the present as he does about the past. \n\nBiographical Notes \nCharles Allen is the author of a number of bestselling books about India and the colonial experience elsewhere. He is a traveller\, historian and master storyteller. \n2nd November Charles Allen

SUMMARY:Professor Francis Robinson (Royal Holloway)\, Marion Molteno and Dr. Rakhshanda Jalil: Introducing the New Edition of Ralph Russell's Anthology of Urdu Literature A Thousand Yearnings
DESCRIPTION:For many people\, Urdu is indelibly associated with a bygone era: the cultural renaissance of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the face of colonial oppression\, heady mushairas and romantic poetry. For others\, it brings to mind the gritty prose of the Progressive Writers portraying the grim social realities of the mid-twentieth century. \nIn this luminous collection of Urdu poetry and prose\, Ralph Russell expands our world of Urdu letters to include folk and oral narratives\, besides prose and poetry. By situating each form historically\, he gives us a refreshing perspective on the diverse literary cultures and histories of India. \nBesides canonical short stories by the likes of Manto and Premchand\, there is Ismat Chughtai’s little-known autobiographical essay about her relationship with her brother\, the writer Azim Beg Chughtai. There are creation tales from the Quran\, popular stories of Akbar and Birbal\, along with the legendary exploits of Sikandar (Alexander the Great). Selections from the sublime poetry of Mir\, Ghalib and others are supplemented by astute commentary and roman transcriptions of the original Urdu. Farhatullah Beg’s brilliantly imagined account of the ‘last Delhi mushaira’ captures a moment in time never seen again\, with the horrors of 1857 just around the corner. \nAn accessible introduction for unfamiliar readers\, and a pleasurable companion for those familiar with Urdu literature\, this volume is a treasure trove of stories\, poetry and history. Originally published as Hidden in the Lute (1995)\, this revised edition has been edited by Russell’s student and friend for several years\, the novelist Marion Molteno.
