| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | This book provides a panoramic view of the intellectual and cultural life of North India over a century “ from the aftermath of the 1857 uprising to the end of the Nehrus era.<br/>The norths historical cities, rooted in an indo-persianate culture, began changing more slowly than the presidency towns founded by the British. Focusing on six major cities “ Agra, Allahabad, Banaras, Delhi, Lahore, and Lucknow “ Dalmia takes up eight canonical Hindi novels set in them to trace a literary history of domestic and political cataclysms. Her exploration of emerging Hindu middle classes, changing personal and professional ambitions, and new notions of married life provides a vivid sense of urban modernity.<br/><br/>she looks at the radical social transformations associated with post-1857 urban restructuring, and at the political flux resulting from social reform, Gandhian nationalism, communalism, Partition, and the Cold War. These, she argues, shaped the realm of the intimate as much as the public sphere. Love and friendship, notions of privacy, attitudes to Womens work, and relationships within households are among the books major themes. |
