Book Description
Excerpt from Select Specimens of the Theatre of the Hindus, Vol. 1: Translated From the Original Sanscrit; Preface, Dramatic System of the Hindus, Mrichchakati At the same time there are many peculiarities belonging to the Hindu Theatre, which it is necessary that we should know, before we'can safely delineate the history, or propose the theory of the drama. Hitherto the views of all writers upon the subject have been circumscribed by the practice which alone was open to their observation, and their specula tions have been grounded upon the narrow basis, which the dramatic literature of classical antiquity supplied. To this must now be superadded the conclusions that are to be de rived from the dramatic compositions of the Hindus.

Indian Summer
Author: Alex von Tunzelmann
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1471114767
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
The stroke of midnight on 15 August 1947 liberated 400 million Indians from the British Empire. One of the defining moments of world history had been brought about by a tiny number of people, including Jawaharlal Nehru, the fiery prime minister-to-be; Gandhi, the mystical figure who enthralled a nation; and Louis and Edwina Mountbatten, the glamorous but unlikely couple who had been dispatched to get Britain out of India without delay. Within hours of the midnight chimes, however, the two new nations of India and Pakistan would descend into anarchy and terror. INDIAN SUMMERdepicts the epic sweep of events that ripped apart the greatest empire the world has ever seen, and reveals the secrets of the most powerful players on the world stage: the Cold War conspiracies, the private deals, and the intense and clandestine love affair between the wife of the last viceroy and the first prime minister of free India. With wit, insight and a sharp eye for detail, Alex von Tunzelmann relates how a handful of people changed the world for ever.
