Gandhi & Art and Other Essays
Author: Raman Sinha
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
In the Vishnudharmottara Purana, when Vajra asks about the art of sculpting deities, Markandeya responds that understanding sculpture first requires knowledge of painting. When Vajra seeks the rules of painting, Markandeya further explains that painting itself cannot be understood without knowledge of dance. To grasp choreography, one must first comprehend music, and true understanding of music is only possible through mastery of singing. This interdependence of art, the insight into the essence of art, is not only attractive but also worth deploring especially when over-specialization is the norm of our age. The essays in this book are a reflection of that ideal, seeking to explore and touch even a small part of this artistic interdependence.

Mahatma Gandhi
Author: Dennis Dalton
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231530390
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

A Little Sweet, a Little Sour
Author: Sera Gandhi

Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
Poetry was and still is a medium of self-discovery for me. The emotions I couldn't express verbally, often ended up being the driving forces for my poetry. The poems in this book are simply those scrawled emotions that I felt through my early adolescent years.Almost all of them are based on incidents that happened around me. 'With love, humanity' is particularly dear to me as I remember writing it in 30 minutes straight. I had just come home from a rainy school day and the news about the Elphinstone Bridge stampede in Mumbai had a very deep impact on me. I just poured my heart out and let my thoughts flow. It was the first time I discovered how liberating it was to write. 'Dark' is another poem that has a very special place in my heart. I had never spoken openly about my insecurity and my struggles with self-image, but after I finished this poem - I could feel the empowerment run through my veins. I finally felt like I had overcome my insecurity. Others like 'Hurt', 'Strength', and 'Move On' are also outcomes of personal experiences.'Last Words' and 'Bahadur' are slightly different as I've experimented with fictional poetry in those. 'Treasure' tells another one of the stories that I imagined about a boy and his dying grandad. If it were up to me, I would probably say that 'A colourful monochrome' is my best attempt at poetry so far. It was the first time that I took an abstract idea from my brain and tried to create something with it.Dieter F. Uchtdorf has wisely said, 'The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.' Poetry helps me create and creating helps me move forward every day with a smile.While this may not be the finest set of poems you'll come across, I hope that at least some of them resonate with you and maybe even leave you with warmth andhappiness in your heart..
