    http://kanaad.blogspot.com/2006/08/glass-palace-by-amitav-ghosh.html
    
    Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar The novel is spread over more than a hundred years, in sub-continental settings ranging from Burma, to coastal India (Eastern and Western) and Malaya. Ghosh uses extensively researched facts to create a wonderful, arresting setting for the story. He opens the book with the fall of Burma to the British with this fabulous opening sentence: There was only one person in the food-stall who knew exactly what that sound was that was rolling in across the plain, along the silver curve of the Irawaddy, to the western wall of Mandalay's fort. His name was Rajkumar and he was an Indian, a boy of eleven - not an authority to be relied upon. Starting with the subsequent exile of the Burmese royal family to Ratnagiri, Ghosh runs through a century of events and many generations of characters in a book that alternates between the closely pictured personal lives of its characters and wide ranging social and political issues engulfing the sub-continent. He does a great job using such wonderful material to weave a captivating story. The writing is somewhat varying in quality, ranging from mostly sublime to somewhat trite in a few places. Ghosh uses this backdrop and cast of characters to narrate a tale of multiple countries under British colonial rule. The novel expresses the opinions of the rulers and the ruled, conflicting yet each very believable. The role of the British Indian army in the maintenance and expansion of the British empire is well captured, as is the revolt by its soldiers in the WW-II era. Throughout, Ghosh's characters are true to life, and yet represent the larger reality of the world.

    While rummaging through my son s books I stumbled upon amitav ghosh s In an Antique Land , found it engrossing and finished it in one sitting.  
    http://gaddeswarup.blogspot.com/2007/09/goitein-geniza-and-amitav-ghosh.html
    
    Extractions: He began by choosing to do his anthropological fieldwork in Egypt. His quest later brought him to Princeton in 1985: he wanted to meet Goitein. But Goitein had recently died, so poor Amitav Ghosh got me instead, a distant runner-up. That began an association that lasted several years while Amitav researched the Indian trade documents in the Geniza, first in Princeton, then in Cambridge, England, reading the Judaeo-Arabic texts about his characters in the original, and writing chapters for his book. It is a riveting story, interweaving his own experience as an Indian living in Egyptian villages of the late twentieth century with that of Bomma, the Egyptian(?) slave of that Jewish merchant who travelled between Egypt and India 850 years earlier.

    Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar The official blog of the Campaign for the American Reader, an independent initiative to encourage more readers to read more books. Professor Ray Taras generously reviewed Ghosh's The Hungry Tide for the blog: Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide (Houghton Mifflin, 2005) has been touted as both a prophetic and poetic novel. Its description of the natural beauty as well as the perils of the Sundarbansthe tide countr y lying to the south of West Bengal and Bangladesh is in many respects poetic. While it does not rival the quoted poetry from Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies which concludes many of the chapters, the book lends new meaning to the lines "Tiger, tiger, burning bright...." For indeed there are fearsome man-eating tigers prowling in the mangroves of the Sundarbansa romantic, haunting trope that the author uses to bring the implicit debate between environmentalists and survivalists to a memorable climax. As for the prophesy the novel holds, what can we say other than that its publication predated the South Asian tsunami and hurricane Katrina by months? The image of flood water pouring across lowlands, people rowing to land in small boats, individuals perched on fragile roofs or in windswept trees, families returning soon after the storm to their broken homes intent on rebuilding, is one we are familiar with.

The Word "Desire" Eothen Arabia: A Journey Through the Labyrinth "Yes," I answered, "yes, many people in my country are 'impure.'" I had no alternative; I was trapped by language. Amitav Ghosh said he learned to write fiction by means of the process of keeping two notebooks of observations during his fieldwork in Egypt. He spoke to a class of mine a few years ago and answered some question about the value of writing programs, saying that his anthropological field work was all the training in creative writing that he ever had. One set of notes were for the official work he was doing, the doctoral thesis research; the other was personal, commentary on the struggles to make sense of things, but also overflowing with the material unsuited for the anthropology he was doing. Ghosh said that the tension between these two notebooks made him realize some important lesson about writing generally. I think it is fair to say that

Note: I have met and known people from all over India. A disproportionately large number of my acquaintances have been Bengalis (Bongs hereafer); and up to a certain point of time, almost all bongs I knew were of the ultra Academic variety. I must say here that they were among the more interesting sets of people - in ethnicity terms - I have got to know. This longish post is on just one aspect of the 'standard' Bong intellectual's mindset - how he/she views the cultural formations of the rest of India. This is the take of someone who has not visited Bong country although over the years, I have get to know a few non-Academic Bongs as well (including one unique character encountered in Pondicherry, somone who easily ranks in the top ten of the most unique people I have known, but I won't be able to say anything about him here and now).

    Extractions: Published by HarperCollins Review by W. R. Greer The Ganges River flows from the Himalayan Mountains across northern India, emptying into the Bay of Bengal. The river delta creates a vast archipelago of islands, the Sundarbans, where mangrove jungles grow quickly on land not reclaimed by the tide. The tidal surge from the sea can cover three hundred kilometers, constantly reshaping or devouring islands, with just the tops of the jungles often visible at high tide. This is the tide country, home to the Bengal tiger, huge crocodiles, sharks, snakes, impenetrable forests, and a few people trying to scratch out a living. At the beginning of the 20th century, Sir Daniel Hamilton decided to create a utopian society there, offering free land to those willing to work as long as they accepted the others as equals, regardless of caste or ethnicity. It's a difficult life that leaves most women widowed at a young age and land barely farmable if the saltwater of the hungry tide can be kept from flooding their fields. It's in this tide country, the Sundarbans, where Amitav Ghosh sets his engaging novel

    Extractions: A Book (and Politics) Journal A political novelist reminiscent of V. S. Naipaul, Amitav Ghosh describes in THE HUNGRY TIDE the struggles of the people of the Sundarbans, a group of islands off the eastern coast of India. Nature is their biggest foe: tigers attack men in the mangrove forests; storms and tidal waves destroy villages; women expect to be widowed at a young age. But government policy has also been their enemy. The horror of the massacre of the dolphins, in a spooky way, parallels the massacre of the Bengali. Ghosh also captures the commitment and frustration of the activists as they attempt to rescue people and the environment.
