Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2009 Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy Book Prize, sponsored by the Association for Asian Studies The medieval Rajput queen Padmini - believed to have been pursued by Alauddin Khalji, the Sultan of Delhi - has been the focus of numerous South Asian narratives, ranging from a Sufi mystical romance in the sixteenth century to nationalist histories in the late nineteenth century. The Many Lives of a Rajput Queen explores how early modern regional elites, caste groups, and mystical and monastic communities shaped their distinctive versions of the past through the repeated refashioning of the legend of Padmini. Ramya Sreenivasan investigates these legends and traces their subsequent appropriation by colonial administrators and nationalist intellectuals, for varying different political ends. Using Padmini as a means of illustrating the power of gender norms in constructing heroic memory, she shows how such narratives about virtuous women changed as they circulated across particular communities in South Asia between the sixteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book will interest historians of memory, gender, community, culture, and historywriting in South Asia. Illustrating how enduring legends emerged out of particular precolonial repositories of "tradition," the book also addresses the nature of colonial transitions and precolonial historical consciousness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the heart of ancient Tamil Nadu, amidst the clash of steel and the roar of war drums, an unlikely love story blossoms. Amara, a fiery princess from the Chola kingdom, and Vira, a stoic prince of Pandyia, find themselves locked in a bitter conflict that has spanned generations. A stolen necklace, a web of deceit, and years of bloodshed have fueled the animosity between their people. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when Amara is forced into an arranged marriage with Vira. Thrust together by duty, they soon discover a shared yearning for peace. As they delve into the forgotten history of the war, a shocking truth comes to light – the necklace, a symbol of Pandyian pride, was never stolen, but a sacrifice made for peace. Determined to heal the wounds of the past, Amara and Vira forge a fragile alliance. Amara, with her sharp wit and knowledge of Chola customs, becomes a bridge between the two cultures. Vira, a warrior prince with a growing respect for diplomacy, stands by her side. Together, they face opposition from both sides – those who profit from war and those clinging to the bitter memories of the past. Their journey takes them from the opulent halls of the palace to the heart of a brewing rebellion. Amara, risking her life, ventures into enemy territory to speak directly to the rebels, to show them the human cost of war and the potential for a brighter future. Vira, leading a small band of loyal soldiers, becomes her protector and confidante. As they navigate treacherous landscapes and political intrigue, their personal bond deepens. Duty and love become intertwined, and a question arises – can their newfound love bridge the ancient divide between their kingdoms? Will they succeed in bringing peace to their warring lands, or will the echoes of war drown out their pleas for unity? This captivating tale of love, sacrifice, and the enduring power of truth will transport you to a bygone era where courage, compassion, and a shared vision can rewrite history. It's a story that explores the themes of cultural understanding, the power of forgiveness, and the transformative potential of love in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Book excerpt: "At the beginning of the fourteenth century, an ambitious sultan, Ala-ud-Din Khilji, becomes infatuated with the famed beauty of Rani Padmini. He arrives at her doorstep in Chittor and lays siege to her fort. Padmini convinces her husband, Maharawal Ratan Singh, and his warriors to abandon any thought of surrender. Despite putting up a brave fight, when defeat seems imminent, Padmini chooses death by jauhar over dishonour. Narrated from Padmini's perspective, this moving retelling of the famed legend brings to life the atmosphere and intrigue of medieval Rajput courts. We cannot help but be swept along as Padmini grapples with the matter of her own life and death, even as she attempts to figure out what it means to be a woman in a man's world." --cover page [4].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines cinematic practices in Bollywood as narratives that assist in shaping the imagination of the age, especially in contemporary India. It examines historical films released in India since the new millennium and analyses cinema as a reflection of the changing socio-political and economic conditions at any given period. The chapters in Historicizing Myths in Contemporary India: Cinematic Representations and Nationalist Agendas in Hindi Cinemas also illuminate different perspectives on how cinematic historical representations follow political patterns and market compulsions, giving precedence to a certain past over the other, creating a narrative suited for the dominant narrative of the present. From Mughal-e-Azam to Padmaavat, and Bajirao Mastani to Raazi, the chapters show how creating history out of myths validate hegemonic identities in a rapidly evolving Indian society. The volume will be of interest to scholars of film and media studies, literature and culture studies, and South Asian studies.
