Paperback. Condición: New. Language: English. About The Book: The city of Lucknow has always been steeped in history and continues to enjoy the tag of being a heritage city. However, with its tragic history of wars, massacres, mass executions and hurriedly buried dead bodies, (often without proper rites or graves), during 1857, it is not surprising that there should be several accounts of supernatural hauntings. This book is a collection of 12 short stories and one novella, based on 13 Lucknow-based ghostly occurrences. It is a work of "historical fiction" - the historical part being meticulously researched and presented, after thorough checks and counter-checks for the sake of accuracy, and then the narrative part, which has its origins from urban legends and local folklore. However, all ghostly phenomena need not be confined to sites of bloody warfare. Ghostly activity can also occur in a modern day apartment complex. It is another matter that the apartment might have been illegally built by some unscrupulous developer over a former, disused graveyard. About the Author: PC Sarkar, former Principal Scientist, ICAR, Govt. of India, holds a Ph.D in organic chemistry. He is an alumnus of St Francis' College, Lucknow, Lucknow Christian College and University of Lucknow. In addition to a specialized book on chemistry and about a hundred research publications in national and international journals pertaining to his scientific profession, Dr Sarkar has to his credit, a series of articles on Lucknow, which appeared in the Heritage Page of the Lucknow Tribune during 2013-14. He is active in several fora related to the conservation of tangible / intangible heritage, particularly related to Lucknow. An avid traveler, he has criss-crossed India, and also visited several foreign countries in a bid to fulfill his passion. This is Dr Sarkar's sixth book based on the Forgotten heritage of Lucknow.

Paperback. Condición: New. Language: English. About The Book: An extensive amount of documentation (including the author's own published contributions) exists on Nawabi Lucknow that describes, analyzes and offers in-depth insights into the art, culture and life-styles of that remarkable period spanning 130 years (1722 - 1856). In contrast, there is a significant lack of awareness about Colonial Lucknow, which formally lasted for 92 years. This is surprising, given the considerable impact the British had on the development of the city, encompassing landscaping, the establishment of public facilities, the creation of institutions, and the construction of notable architectural landmarks, many of which are extant today. This book is not intended to be a comprehensive treatise or historical account of those tumultuous times; instead, it is a modest endeavour to chronicle certain overlooked challenges, experiences, and successes of Colonial Lucknow from 1856 to 1947, aiming to present this information to readers in an interesting and succinct manner.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Language: English. About The Book: Because of its numerous facets, the city of Lucknow continues to fascinate historians, researchers and heritage enthusiasts alike. Actually, this historic city is much more than its famed Nawabi culture, which includes its monuments, cuisine, apparel, handicrafts, language and laid-back lifestyle. The present book is an endeavour to bring forth certain aspects of Lucknow which are not usually discussed or written about. Embellished with ample illustrations, it is an attempt to enable the reader to appreciate and understand the diverse nuances of the city and hopefully be transposed to another place and time, while going through the contents.Front Jacket Illustration: Baillie Guard Gate, The Lucknow Residency by William Simpson (1867)Also by the Author: Lucknow - Buildings, Begums and The British Lucknow - Ode To A City Abode of Fairies: Lucknow's Parikhana About The Author: PC Sarkar, former Principal Scientist, ICAR, Govt. of India, holds a Ph.D in organic chemistry.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK Wajid Ali Shah, the last King of Awadh, who was accused of misgovernance and deposed by the British in 1856, remained an enigma all through his life time. In addition to soulful writings and innovative dance / musical compositions, his unique contribution to the cultural landscape of Lucknow was the establishment of a finishing school for women, for training them in music and dance. This was called Parikhana, accounts of which were described in his book, Ishqnama, one of his earliest semi-biographical books. The present volume attempts to analyse in an unbiased manner, the king's motives and intentions in establishing Parikhana, taking into account the moral and cultural ethos prevalent in those times. The author also seeks to dispel the viewpoint that numerous mut'ah wives and their induction in Parikhana was part of any ulterior motive of the young king. Instead, it was merely a reflection on his profound love for the performing arts, and his firm belief on the restorative effect of music on himself, as well as on others.
