The Introduction is a perceptive study and exposition of the basic tenets of Sikhism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapu Ji goads the seeker on to a state of 'willing surrender to the Divine Will'. Invoking the grace of the Almigthy, it lays stress on a subjugation and sublimation of man's Morbid 'ego', and on persistent endeavour of the individual soul to tear apart the veil of 'untruth'. Through total surrender to the Master's Will and in loving devotion to his Master, man seeks and ever closer proximity to the Divine Soul, Which is man's primal home and his final destination. Unlike the Semetic and many other faiths, Heaven in Sikhism is no distant geographical entity. It is, as Confucius put it, 'being one with God'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessor G.s.

Subrahmanya Sastri, a rare combination of occidental scientific thinking and oriental orthodox culture was born on 29th July 1890 in a remote village in Tiruchi District. He acquired unequalled mastery of both Sanskrit and Tamil language and literature. He contributed richly to both the languages as could be gathered from his various writings. The 125th Birth Anniversary of this pioneering and prolific writer was celebrated on 29th July 2015.\u003cbr\u003eSastriar was born in a family of hereditary Sanskrit scholars like Chokkanatha Makhi (17 Cent. A.D.) and Bala Patanjali. As he was not born into a rich family his scholastic life was full of troubles. He passed S.S.L.C. through the Tiruchy National High School, F .A. at St. Joseph' s College and B.A. Mathematics at SPG (later Bishop Heber's) College - all in Tiruchy. He started his professional career as a Mathematics Assistant in the erstwhile Central High School (now Srinivasa Rao Higher Secondary School), Thiruvaiyaru and National High School, Tiruchy.\u003cbr\u003eHis sustained enthusiasm for studies made him walk 20 kms daily from Thiruvaiyaru and back to study Sanskrit under Brahmasri Nilakantha Sastri, specialist in grammar and philosophy, residing at Kshetrapalapuram. He also learnt Nyaya and Alankara Sastra from Mm.Prof. S.Kuppuswami Sastri of the Madras Presidency College and Mimamsa from Mm.Chinnaswami Sastri of Benares Hindu University. Taught by such eminent scholars, Sastri passed Sanskrit M.A. in 1914 as a private student. He also passed L.T. through the Teachers' Training College at Saidapet, Madras.\u003cbr\u003eHe was appointed Professor of Oriental Studies at SPG college, Tiruchy by Fr.Gardiner in 1917 and served his alma mater till 1926. He then became the Asst. Editor, Tamil Lexicon, University of Madras in which capacity he served till 1932. He was also an editor of the Lexicon for a brief period of one month. He served as Principal, Rajah's College, Thiruvaiyaru between 1932 and 1942 and as the Head of the Department of Sanskrit of the Annamalai University between 1942 - 47.\u003cbr\u003eWhile teaching Sanskrit, Prof. Sastri had to teach Tamil also. This paved way for his in depth study in both Sanskrit and Tamil specifically their grammars. Prof. Kuppuswami Sastri also taught him the Comparative Philology of Indo Aryan languages. All this along with his experience at the Tamil lexicon office which had galaxy of eminent Oriental scholars like Sri M.Raghava Iyengar, Sri V.M.Gopalakrishnamacharyar and Sri E.S.Varadaraja Iyer gave him inspiration to take up a systematic study of Tamil literature and grammar. With his harmonious combination of Sanskrit and Tamil study and strong footing in Comparative Philology, Prof.P.S.S. Sastri submitted to the University of Madras in 1930, the Ph.D. thesis entitled \"History of Grammatical Theories in Tamil and their relation to grammatical literature in Sanskrit\" independently without any official supervisor. His dissertation was the first to obtain Ph.D. degree in Tamil awarded by the University of Madras, and was highly praised by all the three European examiners Profs. Jules Bloch (France), R.L.Turner and Dr.L.D.Barnett (both from England). The study carried out by Prof. Sastri was indeed a landmark in India and outside, on matters relating to the history of Tamil Grammatical tradition. This work which established his place securely as the foremost interpreter of the ancient Tamil Grammatical tradition, saw the light of the day, through the issues of the prestigious Journal of Oriental Research (1932-35) and later in the form of the book by the Kuppuswami Sastri Research Institute (1934, 1997).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE KUPPUSWAMI SASTRI RESEARCH INSTITUTE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48514617540906,"sku":"SOF-00228","price":267.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/nan889_jpeg.webp?v=1747455221"},{"product_id":"वैयाकरणसिध्दान्त-कौमुदी-vaiyakaran-siddhanta-kaumudi-set-of-2-volumes","title":"वैयाकरणसिध्दान्त कौमुदी: Vaiyakaran Siddhanta Kaumudi (Set of 2 Volumes)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor:  by 'Shri Bhattoji Dikshit' f \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: ‎ Chaukhambha Surbharati prakashan\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublication date: ‎ 1 January 2012\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: ‎ Sanskrit\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint length: ‎ 1671 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN-10: ‎ 938148418X\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN-13: ‎ 978-9381484180\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2200 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE BOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eवैयाकरणसिद्धान्तकौमुदी (Vaiyakaran Siddhanta Kaumudi)\u003c\/b\u003e, authored by the brilliant 17th-century grammarian \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"105\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eAcharya Bhattoji Dikshita\u003c\/b\u003e, is the definitive text-critical masterpiece of Sanskrit grammar (\u003ci data-index-in-node=\"197\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eVyakarana\u003c\/i\u003e).

Yet whereas individual works of the poet have been translated, an edition containing an English translation of his collected works does not seem to have been undertaken specially a rendering that combines fidelity to the text with readability using contemporary English. Three volume edition planned by the Sahitya Akademi might well be the Kalidasa corpus in its entirety thereby fulfilling a long felt need and making these classics accessible to a much wider audience than at present.\u003cbr\u003eAll seven of the great poet's works that are considered authentically his are being rendered into English verse (verse and prose in the plays) by Chandra Rajan. She has also written a long critical introduction that serves to place the texts in their context and suggests ways of looking at them singly and as part of the oeuvre.\u003cbr\u003eThe first volume, Poems opens a window into the rich world of the imagination of a writer of whom it was once said that no second to him has been found. The two volumes to follow will further explore the remarkable world of the art and the profound vision of this writer out of our ancient past whose many splendoured geniuses flowered and fulfilled itself in a many sided achievement.\u003cbr\u003eKalidasa is a courtly poet but his knowledge of the human heart and his understanding of the complex play of Human motivation are profound. A Keen observer of nature in all its varied aspects he sees with a painter's eye and speaks with a poet's tongue he is at the same time a learned writer who wears his enormous learning lightly and with grace. A mystic awareness of the transcendental combines in his works with a sensuous feeling for beauty in women and nature reflecting as it does the blend of the erotic and spiritual that characterise Siva mythology. Kalidasa's work is instinct with Siva's presence. In all of his works he celebrates the values of the great civilisation that he was heir to but not without questioning as is made amply clear in the introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAHITYA AKADEMI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48516626809130,"sku":"SOF-04493","price":45.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/COMINGSOON-1_92d48dd8-45d7-4e2d-adcb-f8602635da5a.jpg?v=1783498381"},{"product_id":"सरल-संस्कृत-शिक्षक-saral-sanskrit-shikshak-set-of-8-volumes","title":"सरल संस्कृत शिक्षक Saral Sanskrit Shikshak (Set of 8 Volumes)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor : Shri Jayantkrishna H.

It is divided into two parts; the first section contains basic theory from which Efficient Reading Programmes are developed; the second section contains practice materials to be used for developing the skills of efficient reading. The first section is not meant to offer a comprehensive presentation of all the theory that is basic to reading programmes. It does explain in some detail the more common theories and concepts that set the way for the formulation of the Programme in Efficient Reading that was taught at the Central Institute of Indian Languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComment should be made about the selection of content for the chapters in the theory section. The chapter, ‘What is Reading?, attempts to explain reading as a visual and perceptual process. ‘In understanding how the eyes work in the reading process, the reasons for our recommendations for reading training should be clear. Recommendations for improvement follow the logical inferences made from a study of the literature on visual perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapter detailing teacher-interest in reading investigates further some of the research on reading and attempts to indicate why this information is important to a person interested in teaching reading improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConcept formation has been discussed, because perception and concept development are very closely related. Ineffective concept development can have a direct bearing on the perceptual function in reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProblems related to cultural differences, detailed in the chapter following, are also very much akin to concept development and perception. Cultural differences are perhaps the best illustration of the way both concepts and perceptions are formed that are quite different from the dominant culture, thus creating their own particular reading problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVocabulary building has been included because vocabulary, the words of language, are the ‘building blocks’ we use in developing concepts and modifying perceptions. Of course, the symbols of vocabulary are what make up the words of the printed page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComprehension in reading is the outcome of visual and perceptual skills and concept development. Critical reading is a refinement of comprehension skills, and flexible reading is the way in which all of these are brought together smoothly and effectively by the mature reader.

With every Idea something hitherto unknown to the world is born; the new idea which is absolute truth or nearer to perfection never ceases to exist. Something old falls with every change as the poet sang, “Old order changeth yielding place to new.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull knowledge about the creator was beyond human comprehension. The primitive people, unable to solve the mystery of creation had worshipped all those rare phenomena around them—the sun, the moon, the stars, the water, the mountain; and even plants and animals. Thus the moon was the lord for sometime, then the sun, stars etc. Azer, the father of Prophet Abraham who is believed to have lived some four thousand years ago had had worshipped may gods. As a boy, Abraham too followed him. When night drew its shadow over him, he saw several stars twinkling in the sky. “They are surely my gods”, he exclaimed. But when they faded in the morning light, he said, “I will not worship gods that fade.” Next he turned to the waning and waxing moon. “This is my Lord.” But when it too set, he said,” This too is not my lord.” And when he saw the daily round of the sun, he believed it must be the great Being. This is bigger then the other two, the stars and the moon. He quickly abandoned it when it too disappeared in the morning sky. (Sura VI cattle) it was this Azer who had initiated making clay images. However, when these mute gods refused to answer their quest for knowledge, his followers turned to explanatory and aesthetic myths and witchcrafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuiding the mankind to the right path, God had sent many messiahs with Divine messages. Even though they preached Universal Pease and Truth, their teachings vary in essence. There is fundamental difference in the preaching of Hosiah and Amos. Issiah and his contemporary prophet Meccah jointly preached more on forgiveness of God. Six the several hundred prophets who preached to mankind are dignified with special titles:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the later prophets, John Baptist “does not well the people to, give up their job an retire to the forest, he advises them to lead a holy life within their status and profession, “Jesus Christ was the prophet of mercy, he was in the fact the sixth century, in the full limelight of the history is the Prophet of “the last of the great modern religions to develop” whose teaching is the essence of all previous messages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe learn that every religion –whether Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Buddhism or Christianity—is made complete with final prophet hood. Jainism is based on the teachings of twenty four Tirthankaras ending with Mahavira Vardhamana who is the last and final leader. He is the real founder of Jainism Mahayana Buddhists believe not in one Buddha but many, one for each creation of the world. In Zoroastrianism, there is a long line of Zorothustra and the religion is founded on the last Prophet who is also the greatest. Islam, the youngest of the great religious of the world is perfect with the last and final prophet hood of Muhammad (God’s Blessings be upon him) and Al-Quean, the Sacred text of Islam, is “the quintessence of all previous scripts verified and consolidated.” Islam is thus universal Faith, the religion of Mankind. “This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed my favors upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” Thus, God has perfected the religion with the final prophet hood of Muhammad, and Islam is the Chosen Religion of Mankind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fundamental Islamic teaching is that no Prophet was command to establish a religion. Prophets area warners-pure and simple. God said to Prophet Muhammad: “your only duty is to give warning. We have sent you with the truth to proclaim good news to warn your people, for there is no nation that has not been warned by an apostle.” The prophets carry messages of good conduct and warned the people when they had deviated from truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe philosophy of Gautama Buddha who was born in a princely Hindu kshatriya family was turned into a religious dogma by the moral flabbishness of the people that lived immediately after him. Jesus Christ has never wished to be the founder of a religion named after him. Jesus of Nasreth, the king of the Jews had emphatically said,” Do not think that I have come to set aside the law and the prophets. I have not come to set them aside. But to bring them to perfection.” Dissatisfied the conflicting ideologies of Hinduism and Islam, Guru Nanak preached moderation, a middle-of-the road policy, but unaware, a new religion in the name of Sikhism was founded on his teaching. “Zarathustra never calls himself the founder of a religion, but a reformer as did Lao Tse and Kung Tse.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitab Bhavan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48520179220778,"sku":"SOF-817151112","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/61i_kGTtF2L._SL1400.jpg?v=1784695956"},{"product_id":"searching-for-home-stories-of-indians-living-abroad","title":"Searching for Home (Stories of Indians Living Abroad)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Hachette India\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Simran Chawla\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 218\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover: PAPERBACK\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 200 gm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition: 2018\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9789351950745\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE BOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA compelling chronicle of what it means to be Indian in a foreign land.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn an age when India is one of the strongest emerging markets and a developing superpower, tens of thousands of lndians leave the country each year to seek new lives on distant shores.

He wrote mostly plays and essays. In his own assessment, he believed that he would be remembered as a playwright, but ironically he came to be more cherished for Sakshi essays, which according to him were composed off-hand and with the least effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a way Panuganti was a conscious artist with his mind set on high values and achievements. He was, besides, an intellectual. Though any one can enjoy his play, it is only a discerning reader that can appreciate his consummate skill as a dramatist. On the other hand, his Sakshi essays, inspired by the Spectator essays of Addison and Steele, were intended for the common reader. Since they were aimed at moulding the individuals, he adopted in those essays a style that would immediately arrest and draw the attention of the reader - a verbose and rhetorical style steeped in rich humour and satire. It is no surprise, therefore, that the general readers found him more fascinating in his essays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe period in which he lived and wrote is of considerable significance. Closer contact with the West through English had triggered off a new wave of renaissance and a spirit of rejuvenation in the Telugu region just like it did elsewhere in the country. A host of writers emerged from the new educated class and started a wide variety of experiments. It was also a period marked by a conflict of ideas and values often resulting in a confusion. Extreme views were held and advocated condemning the new or the old. The reaction to the overrunning Western thought and practice needs to be carefully examined in the context of the great movement of those years to achieve freedom from the foreign yoke, which significantly was the very source of the new wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePanuganti assumes importance as one who viewed and reviewed the contemporary scene in a clear, balanced, and conscious way and kept himself above sentimental and emotional nonsense. He raised his manly voice above the din and ventilated his feelings never bothering for a moment how they would be received. Yet, he was sure of his success, and he succeeded because of his confidence in himself and his technique and skill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePanuganti Lakshmi Narasimha Rao made a significant contribution to the modern Telugu literature as a dramatist, as an essayist, and as a humourist.

He developed a new style which is inimitable and as such to translate his work becomes a near impossibility. Though it secured him an assured place in the Telugu literature, it robbed him of his due place in Indian literature as a whole. However, an attempt, the first of its kind, to introduce him to a larger section across the country, which perhaps is overdue, is now being made.

It has already been translated into Hindi and published by Bharatiya Jnanpith in 1991. Astorag is about the problems the old face in a society in translation from a traditional to a modern way of living. Embedded in the centre of Astorag is a drama of guilt and expiation, a drama that admits the emotive-evocative, but with an overtopping of the clinical-diagnostic on the emotive; and this gives the novel a tone and temper unlikely, at first encounter, to be agreeable to conventional expectations. Astorag is a pioneering work of its kind in Assamese because of the genuine attempt to blend the strain of creative-exploratory to that of the clinical-diagnostic. The novel reminds us of the great literatures of the world on the theme of ageing. It reminds us also of the unforgettable lines of T.S.

Man must have courted women since antiquity by employing various means of expression, but the most appealing and inspiring must have been poetry. Hence, poetry reached its apogee in the form of lyrics which were meant to be sung, for poetry through music has a greater and direct appeal. With the ancient Arabs, poetry was their second nature. In the vast expanses of the desert, the rigours of the calimate and the search for waters fresh and pastures new, singing the verses of the ancient bards must have given the Arabs spiritual tranquility and mental peace, and sung in the melodious Arabian music, it must have roused their sense of yearning for the beloved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Umayyad period, Arabic poetry acquired a higher form of pure ghazal, which became popular with the passage of time. This form deeply influenced world literature. Ghazal became the primary mode of expression in Persian which produced great poets like Sa'di and Hafiz. In modem times, it influenced Urdu, which gave us the greatest ghazal-writer of modem times Ghalib. Arabic ghazal, also influenced spanish Arabic poetry, where the special form, al-muurashshah, was developed, and produced the troubadours in Provence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Rais Fatima was born in Sitapur, U.P. and educated at different places as her father was in a transferable Govt.

However, bravery is not just physical courage in the face of external threat. Bravery is also standing up for what is correct. It is also breaking traditional thought processes and moving out of a mould that society dictates for us. Bravery is also striving to make a change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWomen are the backbone of any society and can be harbingers of change. A change that begins at grass root level needs to be sustainable and when the nucleus changes only then can we expect changes all around. Any effort in a society which does not have women as a core element is bound to unravel. Furthermore, their sensitivity and empathy is important for tasks to succeed and carry forward. Since they also bear the brunt of ritualistic traditions, a voice that emanates from that stratum is bound to be more emphatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are silent efforts being made across the country but very little is known about them and even lesser is documented. Thus the world at large is unaware of the silent revolution that is being attempted. All it needs is appreciation and, if possible, a helping hand. This encouragement may be in terms of applause or volunteering time. It may also be done by suggesting better means of achieving targets or even teaching them use of technology for reaching out meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime Minister's monthly broadcast to the Nation, 'Mann ki Baat' addresses various women-centric issues. On many occasions, he talks about women across the country who are striving to make a difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis effort is thus to write about the life and times of brave women who have had the courage to untiringly work towards achieving targets that they set for themselves and which also figure prominently in this popular programme for varied reasons. These are the stories that need to be told not just to recognise their efforts but to also inspire and motivate hundreds of others. They are for people who are facing obstacles as they pursue their goals. They are also for those who make relentless efforts to accomplish their tasks despite the hurdles along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are tales of women from diverse backgrounds working in different areas. Their background and area of work are important as they exhibit the tale of their struggle and victory over the obstacles. Jamuna Mani is an ASHA worker in Tendagaon of Balasore district of Odisha. Her single-minded dedication to work and tireless efforts ensured that no lives were lost to the scourge of malaria. She was also felicitated by the PM during a separate function at Jatni. Jamuna's spirit bears resemblance to that of Noorjahan who is working with solar lights in Bairi Dariyon village of Kanpur dehat and was called 'the light' by the PM. In the dusty lanes of Dausa, Rajasthan, Geeta Devi is experimenting with the new revolution of solar charkhas and Sonal, an agriculture graduate of Pune, has set a new tradition of gifting plants on auspicious occasions. IIM-A graduate Siddhi Karnani is heralding the organic farming revolution in Sikkim. Gayatri of Dehradun is striving for cleaner rivers while Gauri, a prodigal child is winning hearts. They are the true warriors. Their stories inspire and lead us forward. Their resilience encourages and motivates.

He hopes someday to save enough money to be able to afford a wedding feast for his son at the shrine of Baba Pamdin. After saying the morning namaz as an exception one day, he sets out with his three horses, nephew and son for the bus stand in Tangmarg, anticipating generous customers - like the Gora Sahibs - who will go on a trek to Gulmarg, Khilanmarg, Afrabat, and finally up to the frozen lake of Alpatthar. Instead, he meets Khanna Sahib, a cunning and stingy shopkeeper from Delhi, who squirms in discomfort before parting with a few annas to buy him tea, and then falsely accuses him of stealing his camera stand at the end of the trek. Published first in 1957 and told with an incisiveness characteristic of Upendra Nath Ashk, Sorrow of the Snows is a satirical yet compassionate account of the penury and deprivation that began setting in in Kashmir after Independence.

Through the development of this power, not only in the present period, but also in the ancient times, in Greece, in Rome, and also in other countries, the speakers and orators swayed public opinion and secured the leadership of their peoples. To this the Qur'an refers when it says\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(He created the man, endowed him with power of expression).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arabs attached great importance to their language. \"The Arabians,\" says Hitti, \"created or developed no great art of their own. Their artistic nature found expression through one medium only: speech. By virtue of its peculiar structure Arabic lent itself admirably to a terse, trenchant, epigrammatic manner of speech.\" In Arabia, particularly before the advent of Islam, oratory was considered to be a great gift, lower only to poetry. An orator was greatly honoured and respected, at first less than the poet, but afterwards when the poet degraded himself by accepting rewards and gifts for his panegyrics and poems, the orator rose higher in rank to him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe names of many of the pre-Islamic Arab orators have been handed down to us by the early historians and literature. 'Adi b. Zayd al-Abadi, Khuwaylad b. 'Amr al-Ghatfani al-Ushara b Jabir, Ka'b b. Luwayy, Ibn 'Ammar al-Tayi, 'Amar b. al-Ahtamm al-Minqari, al-Zibriqan b. Sadr, Suhayi,, b. 'Amr al- Qarashi are only a few of them who have been mentioned by al-jahiz in his' al-Bayan wal-Tabyin. One of the most celebrated of them was Quss b. Sa idah, some of whose orations were attended by Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, during the early period of his life. Some of his orations have been preserved, at least in parts, by some of the Arabic authors. These orations represent the model of pre-Islamic Arab oratory and give us a full view of the picture of the orations of one of the best pre-Islamic Arab orators, and of his general style and the method of treatment of the main topic, followed by him in his speeches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"O people: assemble together, hear and remember. He who lives, dies and he who dies, is gone for ever. Everything to come is near.\" (And he said): \"In these things are strong (incontrovertible) signs: rain and vegetation; fathers and mothers; the passer away and the newcomer (newly born one); stars which move and the fathomless oceans; a high roof (sky) and the ready cradle (the earth) the dark night and the heaven with zodiac signs. Why it is that I see that men die and do not return? Are they satisfied and therefore permanently settled or are imprisoned and fell asleep?\" (And he said): \"O the people of Iyad! Where are the Thamud and the Ad? Where are the fathers and grandfathers? Where are the good deeds for which no gratitude was shown? And where are the cruelties against which no protest was made. Quss swears by God that God has surely a religion which is more pleasant to Him than the present religion of yours.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may be noted that the great orator's style was simple, free from involved metaphors, and far- fetched similies and ideas, or long introduction. His sentences were short. His method was direct. He drew the attention of his audience to the nature and natural phenomena and the 'historical events, the memory of which was still green in their mind and just suggested to them his own conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was the, model which was followed by the Arabs till the early Umayyad period. All the important Arab orations of this period, which have come down to us, are of this very type having the same general features.

But the Qur'an has been revealed, and the Prophet has created the precedents, and taught us the same and we have learnt them. Know you all that the best wisdom is the piety, and the most foolish thing is to commit sins!
