Uprising of the Fools: Pilgrimage as Moral Protest in Contemporary India
ISBN: 9781503600379 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Kanwar is India's largest annual religious pilgrimage. Millions of participants gather sacred water from the Ganga and carry it across hundreds of miles to dispense as offerings in Śiva shrines. These devotees--called bhola, gullible or fools, and seen as miscreants by many Indians--are mostly young, destitute men, who have been left behind in the globalizing economy. But for these young men, the ordeal of the pilgrimage is no foolish pursuit, but a means to master their anxieties and attest their good faith in unfavorable social conditions.

Jinnealogy: Time, Islam, and Ecological Thought in the Medieval Ruins of Delhi
ISBN: 9781503601796 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the ruins of a medieval palace in Delhi a unique phenomenon occurs: Indians of all castes and creeds meet to socialize and ask the spirits for help. But the spirits they're entreating are Islamic jinns, and they write out their requests as if petitioning the state. At a time when a Hindu right wing government in India is committed to normalizing a view of the past that paints Muslims as oppressors, Anand Taneja's Jinneaology provides a fresh vision of religion, identity, and sacrality that runs counter to state-sanctioned history. The ruin, called Firoz Shah Kotla, is an unusually...

Hindu Gods And Heroes
ISBN: 9781544627328 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Observe what a different history is that of Zeus among the Greeks-Zeus, Father of Gods and Men, the ideal of kingly majesty and wisdom and goodness. The reason is patent. Ages and ages before the days when the Homeric poets sang, the Greeks had forgotten that Zeus originally meant -sky-: it had become to them a personal name of a great spiritual power, which they were free to invest with the noblest ideal of personality. But very likely there is also another reason: I believe that the Olympian Zeus, as modelled by Homer and accepted by following generations, was not the original Greek: Zeus...
