Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. This book 'Indian Muslims Against British Rule' includes the events of the Uprising of 1857 and the participation of the Muslims, particularly the theologians as their religious duty to uproot the British rule from the Indian subcontinent. They actively participated not only during the Uprising of 1857 but even before and after the same upheaval. They also suffered a lot for that very involvement, and brutally crushed in all over North India. They were the real heroes who mobilized not only the Muslims in the name of Jihad, martyrdom, freedom and the nation but also to the Hindus for the sake of their religion and nation. It was the first time when even the Hindus frequently used the term Jihad to their fights against the British and in most of the places they arrayed under the green Islamic flag. This work is an attempt to prove the Muslims, a true patriot and the real hero of the first war of independence, and remind the readers, what actually happened during the inordinate episode in 1857 and thereafter. It's the work of different historical dimension with independent analysis and research in the modern context. In this work, I have tried to do justice to the ideologically complex topic which was the need of the time and awaken my readers about the Muslim torch bearers which always taught the lesson of love to the country and its people irrespective of caste and creed. Apart from the general history of the Uprising, the role of the Wahabi and Faraizi Movements also has been discussed in the context of the circumstances after a deep research and analysis. The role of the personalities like Bahadur Shah Zafar, General Bakht Khan, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Mirza Ghalib, and other related personalities have been very widely discussed. The print media or journalism of that time, particularly the Urdu Press which was the main source of inspiration to the common people has also been discussed in detail. I have much hope with this book that it would change the common mindset which has been developed about the Indian Muslim since the partition of India.

Paperback. Condition: New. Large Print. Language: English. Brand new Book. The book is an attempt to understand the interface between ethnicity and cultural assimilation. The Pakhtoons or Pashtuns are the world's largest (patriarchal) segmentary lineage ethnic group. According to Ethnologue, the total population of the group is estimated to be around 50 million.The [I] chapter on "ETHNICITY: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK" debates about the conceptual analysis, theory, perspectives and discussions about ethnicity in sociology and Social anthropology.The [II] chapter entitled "CULTURAL ASSIMILATION" provides a thorough understanding and analysis of this grand narrative of social anthropology. Besides it looks into the cultural assimilation of Kashmiri Pakhtoons with main implications for their society.Chapter [III] "PAKHTOONS: SOCIETY, TRADITIONS AND ASSIMILATION" deals with those cultural aspects of Pakhtoon society which are linked with their tradition and have met assimilation. The main focus of this chapter has been to bring into limelight the nature and degree of assimilation of the cultural elements of the Pakhtoon society and the overall impacts of the process on the ethnicity of Kashmiri Pakhtoons. The scope of this chapter is confined mainly to the micro structures and institutions of Pakhtoon culture and society.Chapter [IV] "ASSIMILATION OF MACRO-SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS AMONG PAKHTOONS" discusses the impacts of assimilation on the macro social institutions like political and economic systems of the Pakhtoon society through a comparative analysis with the Pathans of India and Pakistan. It also deals with the changes and new cultural adoptions in crafts and sports among the Kashmiri Pakhtoons. Assimilation has been analyzed in relation to the education and economic institutions like the occupational structure of the Pakhtoon society in Kashmir.

Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. After the Second World War, nationalism emerged as the principle expression of resistance to Western imperialism in a variety of regions from the Indian subcontinent to Africa, to parts of Latin America and the Pacific Rim. With the Bandung Conference and the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement, many of Europe's former colonies banded together to form a common bloc, aligned with neither the advanced capitalist "First World" nor with the socialist "Second World." In this historical context, the category of "Third World literature" emerged, a category that has itself spawned a whole industry of scholarly and critical studies, particularly in the metropolitan West, but increasingly in the homelands of the Third World itself.Setting himself against the growing tendency to homogenize "Third World" literature and cultures, Aijaz Ahmad has produced a spirited critique of the major theoretical statements on "colonial discourse" and "post-colonialism," dismantling many of the commonplaces and conceits that dominate contemporary cultural criticism. With lengthy considerations of, among others, Fredric Jameson, Edward Said, and the Subaltern Studies group, In Theory also contains brilliant analyses of the concept of Indian literature, of the genealogy of the term "Third World," and of the conditions under which so-called "colonial discourse theory" emerged in metropolitan intellectual circles.Erudite and lucid, Ahmad's remapping of the terrain of cultural theory is certain to provoke passionate response.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg wurde der Nationalismus zum Hauptausdruck des Widerstands gegen den westlichen Imperialismus in einer Vielzahl von Regionen, vom indischen Subkontinent über Afrika bis hin zu Teilen Lateinamerikas und dem pazifischen Raum. Mit der Bandung-Konferenz und der Bewegung der blockfreien Staaten schlossen sich viele ehemalige Kolonien Europas zu einem gemeinsamen Block zusammen, der weder mit der fortgeschrittenen kapitalistischen 'ersten Welt' noch mit der sozialistischen 'zweiten Welt' in Einklang stand. In diesem historischen Kontext entstand die Kategorie 'Literatur der dritten Welt', die innerhalb kürzester Zeit eine ganz eigene Disziplin wissenschaftlicher und kritischer Studien hervorgebracht hat, insbesondere in westlichen Wissenschaftskreisen, aber auch zunehmend in den Heimatländern dieser Literatur in der 'dritten Welt'.In 'Klassen, Nationen und Literaturen' stellt sich Aijaz Ahmad gegen die wachsende Tendenz zur Homogenisierung der Literaturen und Kulturen der 'dritten Welt' und äußert statt dessen eine lebhafte Kritik an den wichtigsten theoretischen Aussagen zum 'Kolonialdiskurs' und zum 'Postkolonialismus', wie sie durch Fredric Jameson, Edward Said und der Subaltern Studies Group bekannt geworden sind. Darüber hinaus widmet sich Ahmad aber auch brillanten Analysen des Konzepts der 'indischen Literatur', der Genealogie des Begriffs 'dritte Welt' und den Bedingungen, unter denen die sogenannte 'koloniale Diskurstheorie' in den intellektuellen Kreisen der westlichen Metropolen entstand. Zusammen genommen unternimmt Ahmad also eine Neuvermessung der Terrains dieser Kulturtheorien, die den momentanen Diskussionen über Postkolonialismus eine wichtige neue (Gegen-) Stimme hinzufügt. 421 pp. Deutsch.
