Its destiny is a tumultuous voyage across the Indian Ocean, its purpose to fight China's vicious nineteenth century Opium Wars. As to the crew, they are a motley array of sailors and stowaways, coolies and convicts. In a time of colonial upheaval, fate has thrown together a truly diverse cast of Indians and Westerners, from a bankrupt Raja to a widowed tribeswoman, from a mulatto American freedman to a free-spirited European orphan. As their old family ties are washed away they, like their historical counterparts, come to view themselves as jahaj-bhais or ship-brothers. An unlikely dynasty is born, which will span continents, races and generations. Interview with Luciano Minerva for the Italian Television Channel, RAI 1

It was the most publicised victory for the new wave of Hindu fundamentalism, and history made way for myths old and new. Here’s a fresh look at Babur poet, warrior and founder of the Mogul dynasty beyond the mundane realm of praise and blame The Baburnama , the autobiography of India’s first Mogul emperor, Zahiruddin Mohammad Babur (1483 -1530), is one of the true marvels of the medieval world. It belongs with that tiny handful of the world’s literary works that can accurately be described as unique: that is without precedent and without imitators. In the western tradition the military memoir has a pedigree that goes back to Xenophon and Julius Caesar. Babur had no such precedents available: indeed as Wheeler M. Thackston

skip to main skip to sidebar a reader's words Monday, December 25, 2006 The Shadow Lines by Amitav Ghosh Amitav Ghosh 's The Shadow Lines (1998) is an intense and anguished meditation on the creation of modern states in South Asia. There are two streams in the novel- one that of the narrator who has heard about England from a cousin who lived there for sometime and his own discovery of the country when he visits it later in life. The other stream is that of his grandmother visiting her old home in Dhaka, her nostalgia and the discovery of alienation from what she had remembered before Dhaka became part of Pakistan. I found the second stream to be far more readable than the first one, especially the grandmother's character as seen by her young grandson (the narrator). The grandmother goes to Dhaka to bring 'home' her uncle who had decided to stay on in Dhaka after the partition in 1947. He obdurately refuses, delivering one of the finest dialogs in the novel: Move? the old man said incredulously. Move to what? It's not safe for you here, my grandmother said urgently. I know these people look after you well, but it's not the same thing. You don't understand.

A collection of his essays was recently published under the title Incendiary Circumstances. Mr. Ghosh spoke with Hasan Ferdous and Horst Rutsch of the UN Chronicle on the occasion of the publication of his most recent novel, The Hungry Tide Interview On literature in a globalized world I think the world has been globalizing for a long time. It is not a new phenomenon, but one that has achieved a new kind of intensity in recent years. The only real barrier to a complete uniformity around the world is not the image but language. Images can be exchanged between cultures, but the domain where globalization has truly been resisted is that of language. We can send e-mails, which can be instantly translated, but that is shallow communication. For any kind of deeper, resonant communication, language is essential. All such communication is always deeply embedded in language. The Hungry Tide ], you see the possibility of deep communication, which you would not see in films or in any kind of image-based representation.
