Descriptions:
1. About “A Passage Through India”
An anthology of nineteen analytical essays on the history of pre-independent India, A Passage Through India is both riveting and revealing. Written in an eminently readable style, these narrative and interpretative pieces have at their root a mix of rigorous research spanning decades and insightful observations based on varied experiences in public life. These episodic essays on some turning-points in recent times, originally written in Kannada, have been ably translated into lucid English by Prof. Vedavyas M G and Paresh Nadig, with the fervent hope that they attain a wider readership, particularly among the youth of India.
2. About “Evolution of the Mahabharata”
Evolution of Mahabharata and Other Writings on the Epic is the English translation of S R Ramaswamy’s 1972 Kannada classic ‘Mahabharatada Belavanige’ along with seven of his essays on the great epic. It tells the riveting story of arguably the greatest academic achievement of the twentieth century: preparation of the Critical Edition of the Mahabharata by V S Sukthankar and his team of scholars at the Bhandarkar Institute.
3. About “Tapestry of Pen Portraits”
The cultural history of a nation, unlike the customary mainstream history, has a larger time-frame and encompasses the timeless ethos of a society undergirding the course of events and vicissitudes. A major key to the understanding of a society’s unique character is an appreciation of the far-reaching contributions by outstanding personalities of certain periods – especially in the realms of scholarship, literature, and the arts. In this perspective, the present volume—adapted into English from the original Kannada—comprising biographical pen-portraits of some eminent personalities who strode the intellectual firmament of Karnataka in the mid-twentieth century is a humble offering addressed to new-generation readers.
