Kipling in India

This book explores and re-evaluates Kipling’s connection with India its people culture languages and locales through his experiences and his writings. Kipling’s works attracted interest among a large section of the British public stimulating curiosity in their far-off Indian Empire and made many canonize him as an emblem of the ‘Raj’. This volume highlights the astonishing social and thematic range of his Indian writings as represented in The Jungle Books; Kim; his early verse; his Simla-based tales of Anglo-Indian intrigues and love affairs; his stories of the common Indian people; and his journalism. It brings together different theoretical and contextual readings of Kipling to examine how his experience of India influenced his creative work and conversely how his imperial loyalties conditioned his creative engagement with India. The 18 chapters here engage with the complexities and contradictions in his writings and analyse the historical and political contexts in which he wrote them and the contexts in which we read him now. With well-known contributors from different parts of the world – including India the UK the USA Canada France Japan and New Zealand – this book will be of great interest not only to those interested in Kipling’s life and works but also to researchers and scholars of nineteenth-century literature comparative studies postcolonial and subaltern studies colonial history and cultural studies. | Kipling in India

Pandita Ramabai Life and landmark writings

Pandita Ramabai Life and landmark writings

This book looks at the life of Pandita Ramabai one of the major social reformers of 19th-century India. Her unique life trajectory spanned across a pan-Indian orthodox Hindu mould to being part of Brahmo Samaj and Prarthana Samaj and further to Christianity. At the age of 30 she had travelled widely within India and across the world from USA and UK in the West to Japan in the Far East. She reported these fascinating journeys to international friends and fellow Maharashtrians in both English and Marathi. Fighting conservatism and marginalization she set up several projects to empower women notably the Sharada Sadan in Mumbai and the Mukti Mission in Kedgaon near Pune in Maharashtra. This work locates Pandita Ramabai within her liminal social milieu and discursive networks during various phases of her life and traces her diverse ideological routes along with her critical writings some of which have been retrieved and/or presented in English translation here for the first time including The High-Caste Hindu Woman and the newly discovered Voyage to England. Offering a comprehensive insight into aspects of 19th-century Indian society — religion and reform women’s rights and feminism social movements poverty and colonialism — this book will greatly interest researchers and students of South Asian history sociology and gender studies. | Pandita Ramabai Life and landmark writings
