--- Begin Message ---Releasing Shortly** *Historical Paintings of Srirangapatna-**A stylistic Study** **Author: Dr. Veena Shekar** *** The 18th century was an eventful one in the history of Karnataka. Several battles were fought for supremacy and power. This consequentially brought a change in the thematic rendering in the art of painting in Karnataka. Historic subjects as a result were commissioned for propagating the victories and achievements of the ruler. Introduction of Western concepts, new trends of art and new tools opened up novel theories in the Indian art scene forcing a deviation. The specific objectives of the study for the present book have been to trace the development of Historical paintings in India and study the social, cultural, political and artistic background of 18th century. A detail exploration of the paintings of Daria Daulat Bagh in Srirangapatna is undertaken and the development of style and influences on the paintings clearly explored. The book is an effort, unbiased, in understanding the life, predilection, and contacts cultivated by Tipu Sultan during his tenure as a ruler and his interest in portraying a historical event through the medium of painting. As a result, due to a thorough inspection of the paintings made by this study we get a clue of his artistic frame of mind, his interests political or personal and his contacts with other countries and his relations with his contemporaries. *Reserve Your Copy* Publisher: Harman Publishing House A-23, Naraina Industrial Area Phase-II New Delhi-110028 Phone: 011-41418581, 011-45073676 ,011-25704593 Email: harmanpublish...@yahoo.com *For more details visit* *www.srirangapatnapaintings.info *

--- Begin Message ---Hope the vigilante will not see an indian conspiracy in this. Apart from this there is nothing surprising in the bill. One needs to understand who all will be affected by this bill becoming a law. Though, it will be politically incorrect to say this, yet one can't deny the main sufferers will essentially be displaced Kashmiri Pandit women. The bill is, therefore, a yet another step in the process of preventing the displaced Kashmiri Pandits from seeking their rightful place in the land of their ancestors. One also needs to look through the paradox of facilitating the return and settlement with honour of wanna be militants on one side and preventing a rightful place to a Kashmiri women for her folly of marrying an Indian citizen. Going through the events and politics of Kashmir during last two decades, one can safely predict a legislation the strips the displaced Kashmiri Pandits of their permanent residency in Kashmir because of their two decade old absence from the state.

--- Begin Message ---Recently RS has passed 33% woman reservation bill to empower woman in the politics supported by major opposition also to pass it and sidelined opportunist and caste base parties like RJD and BSP, which is good move for Indian politics and step forward towards 21st century and becoming super power for India. But, unfortunately parties like PDP of J&K thinking in reverse direction and forcing J&K to move backward. Congress did right thing by opposing the bill of J&K. In democracy woman must have equal right to choose their marriage partner. This applicable to J&K also where woman of J&K must have right to choose their marriage partner even from outside J&K, so there is no reason for her disqualification from PR of J&K.

--- Begin Message ---Please remember that J&K has a separate constitution from the Constitution of India and that the bill has to do with the idea of the 'State subject,' which, if I remember correctly was formulated in Maharaja Pratap Singh's time to prevent wealthy and educated Punjabis from the plains from acquiring land and government jobs. Since 1947 the idea of who is a 'State Subject' and who is not acquired great political overtones. For example, the newly elected Kashmir Assembly wanted to preserve the status of refugees who fled the state in 1947 and even today that person has the right to return. However, unlike Punjab where property on both sides of the border was declared 'enemy property' and refugees rehabilitated after their claims were assessed, no such thing was done in J&K. Thousands of refugees from Mirpur and Muzaffarabad displaced in 1947 still live in 'camps' in Jammu. But their condition is better than the terrible condition of the stateless refugees from say, Sialkot, who fled to Jammu, which was closer than cities in Indian Punjab. These poor people have been living in the most abject condition since 1947 without a strong lobby in Delhi or Srinagar to support their basic rights as citizens of this country. Kamal, both Hindu and Muslim who choose to marry men who are not state subjects will suffer and in this it controls the woman's choice. KP women who marry other KP women will not lose their status, but KP women who marry Bengalis or men from Delhi or Chandigarh would. Similarly, Muslim women who choose to marry outside their community of Kashmiri Muslims would lose their status and privileges. Not surprisingly, in the most blatant display of chauvinism both Kashmiri Muslim and Pandit men can marry whom they wish and retain their privileges of state subject. > From: <kamal...@gmail.com> > Reply-To: <kamal...@gmail.com> > Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:00:48 +0000 > To: "S.

--- Begin Message ---Sonia, the separate constitution and the state subjects are two Kashmiri legacies I can't wish away no matter how much I may dislike these statutes. Also I am totally with you as far as the blatant display of male chauvinism is considered. The bill needs to be vociferously opposed if only for that. However, one can't deny the fact of the promoters or the supporters of the bill arguing against the voice of displaced Pandit women on the mere technicalities of the proposed provisions. The PDP would have done well to table the data of such Kashmiri Muslim women who for last fifty years have married non-state subjects and posed a threat to so called Kashmiri identity. I challenge them to produce a list of just fifty Kashmiri Muslim women who have done so in past fifty years. The mind set and the intentions behind the bill are starkly visible.
