K.S. Mathew

This artist, while residing in Calcutta from 1791 until 1804, produced a remarkable series of etchings depicting the people and culture he observed. These etchings include portrayals of 38 musical instruments as well as prints of the nautch and a Hindu "dancing girl." These etchings represent, in most instances, the first illustrations of the instruments and manner in which they are played.

Explores myth, created by Western historians, of the Nawabs of Awadh being decadent and effete. Author argues that the regime of the Nawabs was liberal and gave full rein to the indigenous tradition of communal amity and folk culture. Based on meticulous research, including oral traditions, this book is a noteworthy contribution to the field of Awadh history.

Ancient India: An Introductory Outline surveys the major developments in India's social, economic and cultural history up to the end of the ancient period and the beginning of the early middle ages and explains the rise and growth of states with reference to their material basis. The book demolishes the popular historiographical stereotypes created by the Hindu-chauvinist communal writings. It also gives the lie to the view that the Indian society has been stagnant and changeless--a view which was propagated by Western scholars in the heyday of British imperialism and continues to be peddled ingeniously in our own times.
