The year is 1565. Devastation reigns over the once-renowned Vijayanagara Empire. Its powerful army has buckled under the assault of four minor Sultanates. Within a few hours of the Battle of Talikota, the political contours of southern India have been radically altered, the rich and prosperous capital city, Vijayanagara, plundered, decimated, and abandoned. It would lie uninhabited for centuries, known thereafter only as ‘the ruins of Hampi’. Behind this cataclysm swirls a saga of ruthless ambition, caste, and religious conflict, family intrigue and betrayal, driven by the power hungry ‘Aliya’ Ramaraya, son-in-law of the emperor Krishna Deva Raya. A brilliant strategist and diplomat, he ruled the empire with an iron hand but was unacceptable to his own people as the legitimate heir because he lacked royal blood. In Crossing to Talikota, Girish Karnad focuses on the interplay of characters who have been ignored by history even though they played integral roles in shaping one of its darkest chapters.

Indian literature is produced in a wealth of languages but there is an asymmetry in the exposure the writing gets, which owes partly to the politics of translation into English. This book represents the first comprehensive political scrutiny of the concerns and attitudes of Indian language literature after 1947 to cover such a wide range, including voices from the cultural margins of the nation like Kashmiri and Manipuri, that of women alongside those of minority and marginalised communities. In examining the politics of the writing especially in relation to concerns like nationhood, caste, tradition and modernity, postcoloniality, gender issues and religious conflict, the book goes beyond the declared ideology of each writer to get at covert significations pointing to widely shared but often unacknowledged biases. The book is deeply analytical but lucid and jargon-free and, to those unfamiliar with the writers, it introduces a new keenness into Indian literary criticism to make its objects exciting.

This book studies the significance and representation of the ‘city’ in the writings of Indian poets, graphic novelists, and dramatists. It demonstrates how cities give birth to social images, perspectives, and complexities, and explores the ways in which cities and the characters in Indian literature coexist to form a larger literary framework of interpretations. Drawing on the theoretical concepts of Western urban thinkers such as Henri Lefebvre, Georg Simmel, Walter Benjamin, Edward Soja, David Harvey, and Diane Levy, as well as South Asian thinkers such as Ashis Nandy, Arjun Appadurai, Vinay Lal, and Ravi Sundaram, the book projects against a seemingly monolithic and homogenous Western qualification of urban literatures and offers a truly unique and contentious presentation of Indian literature. Unfolding the urban-literary landscape of India, the volume lays the groundwork for an urban studies approach to Indian literature. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of literature, especially Indian writing in English, urban studies, and South Asian studies.

Gokarn as an aspect of Lord Shiva finds mention in ancient Sanskrit texts of Ramayana, Mahabharat, Shrimad Bhagwat, and several Puranas including Skand Purana’s Sahyadri Khand, Gokarn Purana, Shiv Purana, Linga Purana, etc. As a form of the Atmalingam of Lord Shiva in Mount Kailash, Gokarn finds mention in similar forms across the sacred geography of ancient Bharatvarsha. This book is a search for ‘Gokarn’ and the ancient historical, cultural, spiritual and religious linkages that span several millennia and is an attempt to discover and collate this expanse of literature across Bharat in a single book. Great persons such as Lord Rama, Parshurama, Kadambas, Cholas, Adi Shankaracharya, Chalukyas, Krishnadeva Raya, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Rani Ahilyabai Holkar and several Rishis and sages across millennia have influenced Gokarn. Several foreign travellers have visited Gokarn and coastal Kanara and left accounts of their times which this book features and brings out the profound cultural, spiritual, political and historical landscape of our heritage.

The tale of a mythic king’s aggression against his offspring, and his desperation to escape the curse of old age laid upon him in the prime of life. The anxieties that torment a middle-class family as their daughter awaits the arrival of the ‘suitable boy’ from abroad whom she has never met. The morphing of the city of Bangalore, whose founding myth celebrates its human ambience, into India’s ‘Silicon Valley’ where strangers are thrown together, get entangled, and are violently pulled apart. This volume contains the very first play as well as two later ones by Girish Karnad, one of India’s pre-eminent playwrights. The three-volume set of Karnad’s Collected Plays brings together English versions of his important works. Each volume contains an extensive introduction by theatre scholar Aparna Bhargava Dharwadker, Professor of English and Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies, University of Wisconsin–Madison. The introductions trace the literary and theatrical evolution of Karnad’s work over six decades and position it in the larger context of modern Indian drama. In addition, they comment on Karnad’s place as author and translator in a multilingual performance culture and the relation of his playwriting to his work in the popular media. Each of these volumes serves as a collector’s item, making Karnad’s works accessible to theatre lovers worldwide.

This is a study of the development of the art of war in India. Ample proof is provided to show how, from early times armies, led by military geniuses, masters of battle strategy and tactics, equipped with modern artillery and weapons of war were unfailingly victorious over far more numerous opponents who employed antiquated battle systems and outmoded weapons. This book should be of inestimable value to all students of military history as well as the general reader.

This title is devoted to the researches, discoveries, and interpretations of those Indian and international scholars from different disciplines who have been working at the Vijayanagara site over the last 20 years. The volume complements the issue of Marg in the early 1980s, which provided an overview of Hampi-Vijayanagara. This book, however, focuses on specific topics and problems in an attempt to offer new insights into the understanding of this increasingly visited UNESCO World Heritage site.
