Extractions: Random House, $25.95. THE first Glass Palace we discover in Amitav Ghosh's sprawling historical novel by that name is the vast central hall of the royal palace in Mandalay, where Burma's King Thebaw holds court. In 1885, as the book begins, it is "like a great shaft of light, with shining crystal walls and mirrored ceilings" set amid hundreds of rooms with gilded pillars and sparkling floors. Since a famous 19th-century history, The Glass Palace Chronicles , was written during the reign of Thebaw's ancestors, the title also alludes to the notion that history properly records the life and times of kings.

It was the most publicised victory for the new wave of Hindu fundamentalism, and history made way for myths old and new. Heres a fresh look at Babur poet, warrior and founder of the Mogul dynasty beyond the mundane realm of praise and blame The Baburnama , the autobiography of Indias first Mogul emperor, Zahiruddin Mohammad Babur (1483 -1530), is one of the true marvels of the medieval world. It belongs with that tiny handful of the worlds literary works that can accurately be described as unique: that is without precedent and without imitators. In the western tradition the military memoir has a pedigree that goes back to Xenophon and Julius Caesar. Babur had no such precedents available: indeed as Wheeler M. Thackston

In 1527, shortly before a decisive battle, Babur made a spectacular gesture: he took a public oath of temperance. The cellars in his camp were emptied into the sand and he personally broke his sumptuous gold and silver wineglasses and goblets and distributed the pieces to the poor. A few weeks later he led his army into battle at Khanua, against a massive force assembled by Rana Sangram Singh, the most powerful Rajput ruler in North India. Babur prevailed. Babur did not find temperance easy, even though he consoled himself liberally with

Extractions: Amitav Ghosh (Photo: Jerry Bauer) Violence and riots have a way of walking into Amitav Ghoshs living room. It happened in 1984 when the events following Indira Gandhis assassination overtook him in Delhi, and it happened again in New York when he watched from his window as the World Trade towers crashed. Fortunately, the only menace in this comfortably middle-class south Delhi home where he conducted this interview was the sultry weather outside. But in its uncanny way, violence worked its way into the interview, as it has worked its way into Ghoshs life and his writing, especially in his latest book of essays, The Imam and the Indian.

Extractions: Delivered at the Rocky Mountain MLA, October, 2000 If the brain, as We believe, is shaped by thoughts and not the other way around, then our own is composed of one nacreous coil, our thoughts sweeping upward under the influence of a lucent tide, the whole protected by a layering of scales. Rikki Ducornet, The Word "Desire" An early title I gave this talk, long before I ever set myself the task of writing of it, was "Amitav Ghosh and Postmodern Travel Writing." I am truly tired of the word postmodern but I can think of no other way of describing the effect his book In an Antique Land achieves. Ghosh, a Hindu Indian raised in what was then largely Muslim Eastern Pakistan, born in Calcutta, educated at Oxford, sent for his anthropological field work to Muslim rural Egypt, and now a New Yorker who primarily writes novels, is the ideal figure to usher in a new way of investigating the world. Travel writing was, in European hands, always the second line of imperialism. European travelers (as opposed, say, to Moslem travelers earlier) sent messages home of the superiority of home. Early travelers were delighted and amazed. Some wrote fantasies, in the style of Kinglakes Eothen . Many sought out the ever-receding untouched wilderness or culture. Twentieth century Western travel writing has generally told of short-term visits to places of strangeness, worlds new to Western eyes. Jonathan Rabans enjoyable

Extractions: is India's leading literary critic." c.j.s. wallia] By a curious coincidence the publication of this book and the death of Pol Pot happened around the same time. The report of the death jogged public memory, bringing back images of brutal extermination of a quarter of Cambodia's population when the Khmer Rouge was in power between 1975 and early 1979. Even in India, where normally east Asian countries are peripheral in the national consciousness, this death made front-page news. The irony inherent in the fact that barely twenty persons attended the funeral of the man who had once masterminded the most systematic liquidation of the entire middle class of a country, was duly noted. But newspapers deal with facts and statistics. Amitav Ghosh, with a novelist's grasp of the personal lives of individuals, writes a moving human account, weaving together stories of actual survivors in Cambodia who coped with their rupture with the past and rebuilt their ordinary lives "like rag-pickers, piecing their families, their roofs ... together from the little that was left.'

Extractions: HOME DISINFORMATION PLUNDER Amitav Ghosh The New Yorker 26Oct/2Nov98 Let the five also disarm "Nuclear weapons are not military weapons," he told me. "Their logic is that of international politics and it is a logic of a global nuclear order." According to Subrahmanyam, international security has been progressively governed by a global nuclear order made up of the five nuclear-weapons powers the United States, Russia, China, Britain, and France. "India," Subrahmanyam said, "wants to be a player and not an object of this global nuclear order." The selections below are reproduced from Amitav Ghosh, Countdown: Why can't every country have the bomb? Even though not directly related to the question of nuclear armament and disarmament, there is a curious parallel between Ukraine and India together with Pakistan, in that there is a perceived, and perhaps a real, social and economic deterioration, and that this deterioration is blamed by some on the influence, or the interference, of the West. The final quotation below in particular has been included because it expresses the perception of this deterioration. The leading advocate of India's nuclear policies is K. Subrahmanyam, a large, forceful man, who is the retired director of the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, in New Delhi. Subrahmanyam advocates an aggressive nuclear program based on the premise that nuclear weapons are the currency of global power. "Nuclear weapons are not military weapons," he told me. "Their logic is that of international politics and it is a logic of a global nuclear order." According to Subrahmanyam, international security has been progressively governed by a global nuclear order made up of the five nuclear-weapons powers the United States, Russia, China, Britain, and France. "India," Subrahmanyam said, "wants to be a player and not an object of this global nuclear order."
Book Review: 'In An Ancient Land', By Amitav Ghosh
Book Review 'In an Ancient Land', by amitav ghosh Amil Khan Middle East Timesstaff To call ghosh's In an Ancient Land a 'travel book' is misleading.
http://www.metimes.com/2K/issue2000-49/cultent/book_review_.htm

Extractions: Amil Khan Middle East Times staff To call Ghosh's In an Ancient Land a 'travel book' is misleading. The book does not chronicle a quest to find a lost historical monument, a lost tribe, the source of a river or true enlightenment. Ghosh's book centers on his stay in two villages in the Egyptian delta where he was collecting information for his doctoral thesis in social anthropology. This in itself would make an interesting read, but Ghosh does not stop there. Amongst narratives of the lives of Egyptian fellaheen, or farmers, Ghosh manages to weave in the life of a 12th century Jewish merchant. Books chronicling an outsider's experience of an unfamiliar culture tend, all too often, to reflect a cultural superiority because the writer looks at an under-developed place with the eyes of someone coming from a developed nation. That is not to say that all western writers set out on their travels in a rabidly "orientalist" mind frame, seeking to demonstrate, "western superiority over eastern inferiority," as Edward Said might suggest. But with the best intentions a certain dynamic seems to exist between a western writer and those he meets. Writers, or anybody else for that matter, cannot help referring to the cultures they encounter in reference of their own. At the same time, the local population tends to see the writer as a member of an "imperial" or "advanced" nation. However Ghosh is not from the United States, Great Britain or France. He comes from India, another developing country. This makes In an Ancient Land a chronicle of East meets East rather than West meets East. It is this basic relationship between the writer and the local population that makes this book stand out. It is written from a completely different perspective than the usual orientalist study. In modern times this perspective has become a rarity, but it did exist in the past. Ibn Battuta's record of his travels through the medieval Islamic world are a classic example.
