The Raj Bhawan of Kolkata is one of the greatest architectural marvels of the city and an integral part of India's history and heritage. However it has never before been so prolifically captured in the photographic medium. This book captures the interior and exterior of the Raj Bhawan of Kolkata (the renamed Government House of the British empire in India) through the eyes of a curious photographer. The building is easily the most monumental and spectacular also one of the earliest and the best preserved of the imperial architectural heritage of the city. The use of the traditional black and white medium and of strictly natural light gives every image in the book the status of an art work and lends each a sense of rarity and status akin to that of the house. This album is thus an unique suite of over 50 images that capture the wood and grandeur of the building and its premises. An intimate view of Raj Bhawan as presented her has few parallels if any. 110 pp.

The Grand Trunk Road, the axis of the Indian subcontinent's heavily populated north since the sixteenth century, was the brainchild of Sher Shah Suri. "Food path: Cuisine along the Grand Trunk Road from Kabul to Kolkata" presents a compelling and beautifully illustrated history of the road since its emergence as ancient India's first route for traders and invaders. Driving along the classic route, full of the footprints of history and culture, one has an unmatched opportunity to discover the culinary riches of India. The seductive flavours range from the barbequed temptations of Peshawar and Rawalpindi to the sumptuous secrets of the imperial dastarkhans of Delhi and Agra; from the succulent kebabs of the Awadh region to the sublime vegetarian repast of Varanasi and the tantalizing sweets of Bengal. Indeed, the GT Road is the best introduction to the fulsome flavours of India. Bon voyage and bon appetit!

Domestic servitude blurs the divide between family and work, affection and duty, the home and the world. In Cultures of Servitude, Raka Ray and Seemin Qayum offer an ethnographic account of domestic life and servitude in contemporary Kolkata, India, with a concluding comparison with New York City. Focused on employers as well as servants, men as well as women, across multiple generations, they examine the practices and meaning of servitude around the home and in the public sphere. This book shifts the conversations surrounding domestic service away from an emphasis on the crisis of transnational care work to one about the constitution of class. It reveals how employers position themselves as middle and upper classes through evolving methods of servant and home management, even as servants grapple with the challenges of class and cultural distinction embedded in relations of domination and inequality.

The mansions of North Kolkata described in Great Houses of Calcutta were built by the cream of the indigenous elite during the city's colonial era. Some exceptions apart, these are now largely forlorn reminders of the ways of life, aspirations and aesthetic values of the wealthy Indian land owners, bankers and traders who flourished during the heyday of the city's colonial era of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The houses are an important part of the urban and architectural history of Kolkata and are past representatives of the ongoing debate over what it means to be modern while representing a living culture in built form. Taking off from Joanne Taylor's widely acclaimed award-winning book The Forgotten Palaces of Calcutta and drawing from her thesis The Great Houses of Kolkata, 1750-2006, this book is a more comprehensive endeavor bringing in Joanne Taylor's first hand experiences and research in Kolkata and Jon Lang's knowledge of the broader context of architectural history and the attempts to display contemporary design attitudes in built form, not only in today's changing world but also during India's colonial and post-colonial eras. Contents: Foreword and Preface; Prologue: The Symbolic Function of Buildings; Part I: Calcutta and The Great Families- Calcutta-The Great Families of Calcutta; Part II: Architectural Antecedents and Potential Precedents-The Indigenous Architectures of Bengal; The Contemporary Architecture and Ways of Life of British Calcutta; Part III: The Great Houses; The Generic Technical and Cultural Nature of the Mansions and Palaces of Bengal; Twelve Great Houses of Calcutta; Part IV: Today and Looking Ahead- Evolving Histories: the Great Houses in the Twentieth and Twenty-first Centuries; The Future?.

Foreword by Dr. Rajan Sankaran Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar is one of the busiest practitioners in West Bengal. He was a professor of Materia Medica at The National Institute of Homoeopathy in Kolkata. He sees over 100 patients per day, with more than 50 cancer cases. In 30 years of clinical practice, Dr. Sarkar's tremendous success in pathological cases has compelled the rest of the homoeopathic world to witness what he is doing and how he is doing it. Dr. Sarkar is a dedicated and voracious reader of the Materia Medica, Repertory, and Clinical Medicine. He is a master of Allen's Keynotes, Boericke's Materia Medica, Kent Repertory, and Pulford's Materia Medica. His affinity and desire for reading, depth of understanding, innovative thinking and extensive clinical practice, have created a unique approach, which is inclusive of his case-taking method, follow-ups, and potency selection. Just You See is the favorite phrase of Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar while he is teaching his students. The unique style and approach he adopts in his cases and lectures is remarkable and is summarized by this very phrase. Dr. Sarkar habitually gives examples of clinical situations, along with clinical symptoms of the patient. He then shows us where the peculiarity can be found, even in the black and white symptoms, and he reveals the hidden values in the pages of our Materia Medica and Repertory. Just You See symbolizes a broadening of knowledge, which brings to light the countless amounts of symptoms and approaches that Dr. Sarkar uses in clinical practice. Aside from the traditional tools utilized in homoeopathic practice, such as the Materia Medica and Repertory, Dr. Sarkar uses several other interesting sources such as Indian Drugs, Potentized Allopathic Drugs, Sarcodes, and Organ Remedies to name a few. For the first time, his ideas, approaches, and cases have been systematically recorded in an easy to follow style. This book is entirely based on homoeopathic clinical practice and is a must r
