Three decades into Emperor Shah Jahan’s reign, while the monarch indulges in the pleasures of the flesh to divert himself from the travails of his ageing body, the country is bracing itself for the brutal—and inevitable—war of succession to the Peacock Throne. At this time of tumult, European travellers Niccolao Manucci and Francois Bernier arrive in India, and findtheir way into the innermost circles of the royals.While Manucci revels in his new-found fame as miracle healer to princessesand concubines, and Bernier records his cerebral interactions with the Omrah in the imperial court, they conjure up an enthralling panorama ofan empire in crisis. Little escapes their discerning eye—fabled cities nowspinning into decay; harems rife with gossip, lust and venereal afflictions;wily courtiers whose hearts breed malice even as they enjoy the luxuriesof privilege; the tenuous ties that bind Hindu subjects to their Muslim rulers. And, most of all, the chief contenders to the throne of Hindustan:Dara Shikoh, the charismatic heir apparent with a predilection for diversespiritual beliefs, and his younger brother, the austere Aurangzeb, self-proclaimed defender of the true Faith.

Nine Lives:In Search Of The Sacred in Modern India

by William Dalrymple

Pages : 400

Price : Rs.499.00

Description

Three brothers from a remote village in the Himalayas are driven by poverty to become monks. One becomes a famous masked dancer; the second an accomplished player of the Tibetan temple trumpet; and the third a great Buddhist scholar. A Jain nun tests her powers of detachment as she watches her best friend ritually starve herself to death. A woman leaves her middle class family in Calcutta and her job in a jute factory, only to find unexpected love and fulfillment living as a tantric in a skull-filled hut in remote a cremation ground. A prison warder from Kerala becomes for two months of the year a temple dancer and is worshipped as an incarnate deity; then, at the end of February each year, he returns to prison. An idol maker, the thirty-fifth of a long line of sculptors going back to the legendary Chola bronze makers, regards creating Gods as one of the holiest callings in India, but has to reconcile himself to his son who only wants to study computer engineering. An illiterate goat herd from Rajasthan keeps alive an ancient 200,000-stanza sacred epic that he, virtually alone, still knows by heart. A devadasi - or temple prostitute - initially resists her own initiation into sex work, yet pushes both her daughters into a trade she regards as a sacred calling. Nine people, nine lives. Each one taking a different religious path, each one an unforgettable story.Exquisite and mesmerizing, and told with an almost biblical simplicity, William Dalrymple`s first travel book in a decade explores how traditional forms of religious life in South Asia have been transformed in the vortex of the region`s rapid change. Nine Lives is a distillation of twenty-five years of exploring India and writing about its religious traditions, taking you deep into worlds that you would never have imagined even existed.
