Index. "Contemporary Islamic response to the West is a valuable book written by Dr.

Abdul Majid Khan. He has very painstakingly, and with competence, investigated the problem a tricky one, indeed and evaluated the contributions of many leading Muslim thinkers to it.

He begins, naturally enough, with Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and Iqbal and goes on through Maulana Maudoodi, Syed Qutb and Shariati to Dr. Kalim Siddiqui.

The views of all these thinkers are worth pondering because of the complexity of the problems involved in their political and ideological ramifications. If we believe in the perennial wisdom and practicality of the Islamic world-view and tenets of faith we should apply ourselves with firmness of conviction and lucidity of logic to see how best we can come to terms with the (less)

This volume focuses specifically on contemporary plays written in the last five to fourteen years. Written from different perspectives and in different styles, each of the plays addresses issues facing modern India.

Both Girish Karnad’s The Fire and the Rain and K.N.

Panikkar’s Aramba Chekkan belong to the "theater of roots" movement. Usha Ganguli’s Rudali is linked to the women’s theater movement, and the Wooden Cart by Tripurari Sharma, though not a street theater piece, comes out of that tradition.

“It is well known that Indian classical dances, rooted in deep traditions, came virtually into their own after the nation’s independence. But the process had begun in the 1930’s gathered momentum soon and received ample revitalization within next half a century.

Interestingly, it was in the 1930s, too, that modern dance-based on contemporary sensibilities-also burst upon the scene. Inspired by the western sources, but consolidated by Uday Shankar and his ardent disciples, many exciting dance styles have emerged which depend primarily on their practitioners.

The collective corpus of their work is seen here through an analytical eye, in dialogue with the dancers, so as not to miss their own creative viewpoints (less)
