        Zwischen den Welten

        Geschichten aus dem modernen Indien

        by Cornelia Zetzsche

        Sie sind Hindus, Moslems, Parsen, Christen oder Juden, gehören zur höchsten Kaste der Brahmanen oder zu den Unberührbaren. Sie kommen aus allen Teilen Indiens, leben in Delhi, Kalkutta, Bombay, Bangalore, Mysore, Ahmedabad und anderswo, sind Pendler zwischen den Welten wie Vikram Chandra oder Expatriates wie Shashi Tharoor. Sie erzählen von Brahmanen und Muslimen, von Benares und Bombay, schildern das Leben in den Städten und auf dem Land, berichten von Emigranten und von Zurückgekehrten. Es geht um Hochzeits- und Beerdigungsrituale, um Straßen- und Büroszenen, Arbeitskämpfe und Religionskonflikte, um den Unabhängigkeitstag, die Teilung Indiens oder um ein Leben zwischen den Kulturen. Oft ist von der Einsamkeit im Milliardenland die Rede, und immer wieder steht die Familie als Spiegel der Gesellschaft im literarischen Fokus. Über 50 Autoren und Autorinnen, vielfach mit den höchsten Literaturpreisen Indiens ausgezeichnet, sind in diesem Band mit Erzählungen, Romanauszügen und Gedichten aus elf Landessprachen vertreten. K. Satchidanandan, Lyriker und Präsident der Sahitya-Literaturakademie, schrieb das Vorwort zu dieser Anthologie. Kurzporträts charakterisieren die Autoren und skizzieren den Kontext ihrer Arbeit im literarischen Leben und im indischen Alltag.

        'The better class' of Indians

        Social rank, Imperial identity, and South Asians in Britain 1858–1914

        by A. Wainwright

        This is the first book-length study to focus primarily on the role of class in the encounter between South Asians and British institutions in the United Kingdom at the height of British imperialism. In a departure from previous scholarship on the South Asian presence in Britain, 'The better class' of Indians emphasizes the importance of class as the register through which British polite society interpreted other social distinctions such as race, gender, and religion. Drawing mainly on unpublished material from the India Office Records, the National Archives, and private collections of charitable organizations, this book examines not only the attitudes of British officials towards South Asians in their midst, but also the actual application of these attitudes in decisions pertaining to them. This fascinating book will be of particular interest to scholars and general readers of imperialism, immigration as well as British and Indian social history.
