It was the newly displaced Indian Royals who first took to cricket, as a proxy to their power struggle. This patronage then slowly extended from the Maharajas to skilled Indian commoners, ultimately growing the game in the country and revolutionizing this sport. Hear about their dedication, influence on talent and lasting impact on the game uniting millions only on A Century Of Stories: Cricket podcast, presented by IDFC FIRST Bank hosted by Cyrus Broacha.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[Podcast-Interview] mit Christopher Kloeble zu dem Buch: Das Museum der Welt

In dieser Folge haben wir das Buch "Das Museum der Welt" als eine faszinierende Geschichte kennengelernt, die von europäischen Reisenden in Südostasien handelt. Die Idee für das Buch entstand, als ich von der Geschichte der Familie Schlagkind-Walds hörte und daran interessiert war, die Perspektive der einheimischen Bevölkerung einzubeziehen. Die Familie Schlag war zu ihrer Zeit sehr bekannt und erfolgreich, aber im Laufe der Jahre geriet ihre Geschichte in Vergessenheit. Das Buch erzählt die Geschichte aus der Sicht eines Waisenjungen namens Bartholomäus, der kritisch hinterfragt, wie die Wissenschaftler sein Land vermessen und die Kultur übernehmen. Bartholomäus steht symbolisch für den Widerstand gegen diese Übernahme. Indem ich die Geschichte aus seiner Perspektive erzähle, konnte ich auch humorvolle Elemente einbringen und zeigen, wie absurd es ist, wenn jemand in dein Land kommt und dir sagt, wie du sein sollst, nur weil du von dort stammst. Ein wichtiges Thema in "Das Museum der Welt" ist die Rolle von Kindern. Ich glaube fest daran, dass Kinder Dinge sehen können, die Erwachsene oft übersehen. Kinder haben eine einzigartige Kombination aus Weisheit und Naivität, die ihnen erlaubt, Fragen zu stellen und Dinge in einem neuen Licht zu betrachten. In dem Buch geht es auch um das Konzept eines Anti-Museums, das als Buch dargestellt wird. Der Autor/Die Autorin hat sich viele Gedanken über Museen und Objekte gemacht, da sie eine koloniale Vergangenheit haben. Die Idee eines Anti-Museums fand der/die Hauptprotagonist(in) spannend und wollte alles in einem Buch festhalten. Dies spiegelt auch die Parallelen zur Literatur wider. Ein Buch kann ein ganzes Universum enthalten und viele unsichtbare Dinge transportieren. Die Geschichte des Hauptprotagonisten wird in Tagebuchform erzählt, mit Fokus auf verschiedene Objekte. Es war interessant, die Art und Weise, wie über Objekte geschrieben wird, umzukehren und aus der Sicht des Hauptprotagonisten zu sehen. Ursprünglich ist er in einem Waisenhaus aufgewachsen, sein erstes Museum wurde von den anderen Kindern zerstört. Dann begann er, alles aufzuschreiben. Der Leiter des Kinderhauses, Vater Fuchs, und deutsche Pfarrer hatten ebenfalls einen Einfluss auf die Geschichte. Wir haben auch über die koloniale Vergangenheit Indiens und den Einfluss der East India Company gesprochen. Die East India Company hatte ab dem 16. Jahrhundert großen Einfluss in Indien und agierte wie ein eigener Staat mit einem eigenen Heer. Sie spielten die Maharajas geschickt gegeneinander aus und erwarben nach und nach Territorien. Der Handel mit Gewürzen und Textilien war für Europa von großer Bedeutung und Indien war ein wertvolles wirtschaftliches Ziel. Die East India Company führte auch illegal Opium nach China ein, um das Land zu destabilisieren und ihren eigenen Machtanspruch zu stärken. Dies führte schließlich zum Chinesisch-Englischen Krieg und zur Entstehung von Hongkong als Ergebnis des Kriegsverlusts der Chinesen. Das Schreiben über Indien und die Beschäftigung mit neuen Themen hat meine Sicht auf die Welt erweitert. Es ermöglicht mir, andere Kulturen und Perspektiven kennenzulernen und meine eigene Identität zu reflektieren. Es ist eine bereichernde Erfahrung, die ich jedem empfehlen würde. Wir haben bereits Projekte im Auge, die uns weiterhin herausfordern werden, und wir freuen uns darauf, zu sehen, wohin sie uns führen werden. Alles in allem hat mich die Geschichte von "Das Museum der Welt" beeindruckt und mich dazu angeregt, über Identität, Herkunft und Zugehörigkeit nachzudenken. Es ist wichtig, verschiedene Perspektiven einzunehmen und die Komplexität der Welt zu erkennen. Das Buch lädt uns ein, die Welt aus den Augen anderer zu sehen und unsere eigene Rolle darin zu hinterfragen. Es war eine anregende Diskussion und hat mir viel Spaß gemacht.

SYNOPSIS:We all know the story. From being simply a group of traders in mid-18th century, by the end of it the East India Company goes on to take control over all of India and its vast population. They achieve this despite being very few in numbers. By getting Indians to fight against Indians. But why did these Indians comply? Not just the soldiers but why did so many Maharajas and Nawabs choose to side with the British? Why did the Indian businesses and tradesmen cooperate? Why did for instance the chivalrous Rajputs instead of fighting the invaders roll out the red carpet?These questions have long baffled us. Until recently when we came across book the ‘The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company! SPEAKER:William Dalrymple is a Delhi-based Scottish historian and art historian, as well as a curator, photographer, broadcaster and critic. He is also one of the co-founders and co-directors of the world's largest writers festival, the annual Jaipur Literature FestivalHis books have won numerous awards and prizes, including the Wolfson Prize for History, the Duff Cooper Memorial Prize, the Hemingway, the Kapuściński, the Arthur Ross Medal of the US Council on Foreign Relations, the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award and the Sunday Times Young British Writer of the Year Award. He has been five times longlisted and once shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction and was a Finalist for the Cundill Prize for History. The BBC television documentary on his pilgrimage to the source of the river Ganges, 'Shiva's Matted Locks', one of three episodes of his Indian Journeys series, which Dalrymple wrote and presented, won him the Grierson Award for Best Documentary Series at BAFTA in 2002His most recent book, published in 2019, is The Anarchy, a history of the Indian Subcontinent during the period from 1739 to 1803, which saw the collapse of the Mughal imperial system, rise of the Maratha imperial confederacy, and the militarisation and rise of power of the East India Company.It was long listed for the Baillie Gifford Prize 2019, and short listed for the Duke of Wellington medal for Military History, the Tata Book of the Year (Non-fiction) and the Historical Writers Association Book Award 2020.

Primed to recreate a bygone era of ocean travel through Holland America Line's history, guests on board the voyage are in for a journey from past to present with special events, activities, and commemorative keepsakes.Departing Oct. 15, 2022, from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to New York City aboard Rotterdam, the voyage retraces Holland America Line's first cruise back in 1872 aboard Rotterdam I. Guests will see the brand's history come alive through onboard enrichment programming, memorable culinary experiences and exclusive entertainment.Exclusive Lincoln Center Piece Composed for AnniversaryA highlight of the crossing will be a performance of a musical piece by Emmy Award-winning producer and Emmy-nominated composer Steven Schoenberg, written exclusively for Holland America Line's anniversary to accompany a special short film about the cruise line's journey. The composition will be performed by a 25-piece ensemble of former Holland America Line's Lincoln Center Stage musicians. The piece will debut on board Oct. 26 in New York on World Stage.During the sailing, guests also will be entertained by Dutch sensation Tiny Little Big Band, bringing their unique sound of jazz and soul with a hint of swing, along with the ship's Music Walk entertainment featuring BB King's Blues Club, Billboard Onboard, Lincoln Center Stage and Rolling Stone Rock Room.  Culinary Delights an Ode to Dutch HeritageEvery evening in the Main Dining Room, menus will showcase Holland America Line's 150-year history with a Classic Entrée reminiscent of a dish served as early as the 1920s. Guests can choose from selections including Royal Rib of Beef a la Medicis, Holland Duckling Port Wine Sauce and Artic Char a la Normande.A special 150th Gala Menu one evening in the Dining Room will be a memorable collection of dishes, with every option — from appetizers to desserts — from a previous Holland America Line voyage. The menu is designed to evoke a feeling of days gone by and features a keepsake cover that guests can take home.At least once during the voyage as a pop-up experience in Tamarind, guests can indulge in a Rijsttafel — a Dutch word that translates to “rice table” — with side dishes served in small portions, accompanied by rice prepared in several different ways. The Dutch adapted the Indonesian tradition so they could enjoy a wide array of dishes at a single sitting with an abundance of flavors and textures.The toasting continues with a “Throwback Happy Hour” that will roll back time and feature drinks priced to when the brand began, as low as 25 cents. Guests who want to learn about wine can join Holland America Line Vice President of Dining and Beverage Operations Anthony Stice for wine tastings and surprises around the ship.Additional culinary delights in honor of Holland America Line's 150th Anniversary include a special Dutch High Tea, Dutch station in Lido Market that features traditional sweet and savory items, one Dutch-themed lunch with classic Dutch items and one Indonesian-themed lunch, both in Lido Market.Enrichment and Activities Bring History to LifePresentations reliving the history and roots of the company will be offered by Bill Miller, maritime historian, and Holland America Line authority, while Dr. Jennifer Foray, professor of history at Purdue University, will deliver lectures on Dutch history.Origin Story, a staple on every Holland America Line cruise, is visual telling of the company's history from founding through present day.

After an exclusive collection of itineraries in the Mediterranean, Le Ponant will spend the winter in the Seychelles before arriving in Australia in April 2023.The newly imagined Le Ponant is an invitation to go sailing whilst recharging the batteries on voyages that respect the world around, where privacy and exploring with others go hand in hand with eco-responsibility.When luxury and privacy combine with the magic of travel and eco-responsible navigationThirty years after her launch, Le Ponant has been transformed to provide guests with a unique travel experience. After undergoing a complete renovation, the ship now accommodates just 32 guests with a 1:1 passenger to crew ratio. The sleek, refined layout was designed by the Studio Jean-Philippe Nuel and Sterling Design International to create a sense of luxury, privacy and tranquillity that makes guests feel as if they are on their own private sailing yacht.The 4 passenger decks provide 16 spacious staterooms including a 60m2 Owner's Suite on the upper deck ‘Zephyr' with a private balcony. The common areas have been refitted to allow guests to fully enjoy the panoramic gastronomic restaurant; to re-energise in the spa, wellness area or gym; or relax in the sun lounge area in an ambiance of quiet contemplation.In line with the company's policy, Le Ponant reflects an ongoing commitment to a more responsible tourism. The sailing ship is equipped with all the latest technologies to optimise emissions reduction: connecting to electricity grids where available in ports, using the sails, an innovative SCR filter system to eliminate fine particles and cut nitrogen oxide emissions by 90%, sorting waste and latest generation wastewater treatment. Every guest experience has been thought through to help protect the environment and heritage, such as non-motorised water sports and individual or small-group landings at ports of call with the focus on local heritage.Uncrowded, Le Ponant offers guests the ultimate luxury invitation to enjoy authentic experiences and moments of rare privilege close to nature, under sail as the preferred mode of travel. On board, an expedition leader and naturalist guides share their unrivalled knowledge as they discover unusual treasures at sea and during ports of call. In addition to exclusive activities, on board and off, guests enjoy exquisite cuisine based on locally sourced ingredients.Aboard Le Ponant, every detail has been included to offer a timeless experience; a voyage that awakens the senses within a bubble of exploration at its most authentic.Viking Celebrates 25th Anniversary in Amsterdam Viking marked the company's 25th anniversary with a historic celebration in Amsterdam. To commemorate the milestone, for the first time ever, three classes of Viking ships—a river ship, an ocean ship and the company's newest expedition vessel, the Viking Polaris—met in Amsterdam and sailed in a special convoy to IJmuiden, Netherlands. Participating in the convoy with the Viking Polaris were the Viking Longship, the Viking Mani, and the ocean vessel, the Viking Mars.During the Amsterdam event, Viking also named the Viking Polaris and her identical sister ship, the Viking Octantis®, which is currently sailing her inaugural season in the Great Lakes. Both ships will spend the Austral summer in Antarctica, before travelling north to the Great Lakes for a series of voyages during spring and summer.Viking's 25th anniversary celebration in Amsterdam is the most recent event during a milestone year in which the company has also welcomed to its fleet eight new Viking Longships on the rivers of Europe and new purpose-built vessels on the Mekong, Nile and Mississippi rivers. By the end of 2022, two new, identical ocean ships will have also joined Viking's fleet. Earlier this year, Viking was named the #1 Ocean Line and #1 River Line in Travel + Leisure's 2022 “World's Best” Awards, in which the company became the first cruise line ever to top both categories in the same year. Viking is also rated #1 for both rivers and oceans by Condé Nast Traveler, making it the first cruise line to ever simultaneously earn #1 in its categories from both publications. Additionally, Viking has published a new video about the company's history and some of the key partners who have contributed to its success, which was shared on board all Viking ships today as part of the 25th anniversary celebration.Paul Gauguin Cruises opens sales for 2024A unique opportunity awaits to explore the paradise isles and sunny shores of Polynesia as Paul Gauguin Cruises launches sales for its 2024 small-ship cruises with 33 sailings to 7 destinations, including 2 new itineraries crafted by the company's destination experts.The various itineraries for 2024 centre on water sports including swimming, scuba driving, kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkelling, discovering local traditions and visiting UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Historically and traditionally, the arts have enjoyed the patronage of kings.We all know that culture broadens minds. It's an important basis by which society finds expression and happiness. So it is in the larger common good that culture has been encouraged. It binds a society and gives it an identity. And a personality. And sets up the basis for cultural interaction with other societies.People like kings patronise the arts to allow its exponents the freedom to live in their minds and pursue their muse. Musicians, dancers, artists, dramatists and storytellers have enjoyed the patronage of the palace.The Maharajas of Mysore—many of them—have pursued the arts themselves. The most notable among them being Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar—the last Maharaja of Mysore before his kingdom acceded to the Union of Indian states in 1947. He was a thinker, a published philosopher, a patron of the arts—but importantly, he, a patron without bias. While there is a rich legacy of Carnatic music patronised by him, Wadiyar fulfilled the last wish of legendary composer Richard Strauss. This is a little known fact.In 1950, he sponsored a performance at the Royal Albert Hall, by London's Philharmonia Orchestra led by German conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler and with soprano Kirsten Flagstad singing Strauss's final composition, Four Last Songs.The Maharaja was an accomplished musician too. Schooled in Carnatic and Western classical music, he tried to make meaning of the two forms and worked tirelessly to find a blend—later admitting that is was difficult. (As a musician, I want to say that unfortunately too many musicians have been pitiless in this pursuit.)Chronicling this unusual Maharaja is my guest today, Deepti Navaratna, author of an unconventionally structured biography of Wadiyar, titled The Maverick Maharaja.But as I researched her, I realised that she is unusual. By my reckoning, she is a wonderful Carnatic singer. And she is a neuroscientist, which means she is licensed to dissect brains in a laboratory.Scientific research is a linear and process driven discipline and conclusions are reached by goals and planned milestones. Surprises are often not welcome. The other side of her, is music. And the point of musical composition is to defy linearity while sticking to a framework of rules and conventions. The point of music is surprise.Maybe the two are connected. And maybe it takes a maverick to make the connection. Let's find out.ABOUT DEEPTI NAVARATNAA musician and neuroscientist, she served as the Regional Director, Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts. She directed the centre's research, academic and outreach activities at the intersection of arts and sciences. She is currently the TV Raman Pai Chair of Excellence and Professor of Humanities at the National Institute Of Advanced Studies, Bangalore.Buy The Maverick Maharaja: https://amzn.to/3ALLovEThe Mysore Anthem composed by the Maharaja of Mysore, JC Wadiyar and imagined by Dr Deepti Navaratna: https://youtu.be/axLDJ-HtQIcWHAT'S THAT WORD?!Co-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in "What's That Word?!",  where they discuss the word "MAVERICK".WANT TO BE ON THE SHOW?Reach us by mail: theliterarycity@explocity.com or simply, tlc@explocity.com.Or here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theliterarycityOr here:  https://www.instagram.com/explocityblr/

It can be easy to think of the recent history of India—especially for those who aren't from there—as a straight line, from the Mughal Empire, through the British Empire, to independent India. That, of course, is hugely simplistic, missing the mess of competing polities, interests, and people that made up Indian history over the last few centuries. Manu Pillai's False Allies: India's Maharajahs in the Age of Ravi Varma (Juggernaut, 2021), looks at a few of these political actors: the Maharajas of India, who led the “princely states”. Not quite sovereign entities, not quite directly-ruled colonies. Pillai portrays the stories of a few of these princes and princesses through the life of famed Indian artist Ravi Varma as he travels around India in the latter half of the nineteenth century. In this interview, Manu and I talk about the princely states, the Maharajas, and why Manu chose Ravi Varma to tell the stories of the Indian princes. Manu S Pillai is the author of the award-winning The Ivory Throne: Chronicles of the House of Travancore (HarperCollins India: 2015), Rebel Sultans: The Deccan from Khilji to Shivaji (Juggernaut: 2018), and The Courtesan, the Mahatma & the Italian Brahmin: Tales from Indian History (Context: 2019).

India's fascination with the Rolls Royce goes back to the days of the Maharajas. Did you know the very first Rolls Royce bought by an Indian Maharaja was the ‘Pearl of the East? It was bought by the Maharaja of Mysore after he saw the car in the Bombay-Kolhapur Motor Trial in 1908. Why was India such an important market for Rolls Royce? What kind of specific body styles people in India asked for when they bought a Rolls Royce? Was it ever used as a garbage collection vehicle in India by a Maharaja? Also why in the post independent era, hardly any Rolls Royce were bought and imported in India? To answer these and many more questions, listen to Mr. Gautam Sen who is a leading automotive consultant and an authority of historic vehicles. He has written several books including a book chronicling the life of a very special Rolls - 17EX.
