Cosmopolitan Modernity in Early 20th-Century India

By: Sachidananda Mohanty

This book presents an alternative view of cosmopolitanism, citizenship and modernity in early 20th-century India through the multiple lenses of mysticism, travel, friendship, art, and politics. It makes a key intervention in the understanding of cosmopolitan modernity based on the lives and experiences of Rabindranath Tagore, Ananda Coomaraswamy, Sri Aurobindo, Mirra Alfassa, James Cousins, Paul Richard, Dilip Kumar Roy, and Taraknath Das. Using archival texts and photographs, Mohanty interrogates the ideas of tradition and modernity, the local and the global, and Self and the world as integral to the conception of a cosmopolitan world order. This second edition will interest scholars and students of modern Indian history, comparative literature, cultural studies, Indian philosophy, and South Asian studies and the general reader.

Sri Aurobindo

A Contemporary Reader

By: Sachidananda Mohanty

This book compiles some of the finest writings of Sri Aurobindo (1872–1950) — the nationalist, visionary, poet-philosopher. It reflects the range, depth and outreach of the moral, intellectual and spiritual vision of this versatile and multifaceted genius. It aims at providing, at one place, access to the key concepts, tenets, and the spirit of the extraordinary range of texts authored by him. Although concretely grounded in contemporary times — with its location in a specific socio-cultural matrix — this work projects a body of writings that is certain to have lasting value. In particular, the compilation brings forth Sri Aurobindo’s social vision and his role as a cultural critic: his views on ethnicity, his exposition of the key role language plays in the formation of communitarian identities, his crucial understanding of self-determination which has incidentally become an important aspect of human rights discourse today. Situating the writings in a specific intellectual, spiritual and historical context, this collection will enable readers to appreciate the overall vision of Sri Aurobindo, in what can be conceived as a caravan of history of ideas in terms of a common heritage of humankind, and recent developments in theory and disciplinary practice, especially those pertaining to consciousness and future studies.

Leaves from Your Own Book: Papers in Honour of Sudhakar Marathe, a collection of essays, on a variety of subjects is a tribute to Professor Sudhakar Marathe, a man whose interest ranged from Shakespeare to Environment to Pedagogy to much more. Taking leaves from his own book of experience and interests, the book tries to focus on some of these topics Environmental Discipline, Interface between History and Fiction, Blake, Kipling, Edward Thompson, Dean Mahomed, Children's Literature, English Studies, Translation and Pedagogy. It also contains personal reminiscences of Sudhakar Marathe's students, colleagues, and friends. The contributors include leading poets and academics from Canada, U.

The final piece by Sudhakar Marathe erases the boundary between the personal and the academic by raising very crucial questions about Education and English Education in particular.
