God ji5/21/2023 Over the course of decades, Jhulelal has successfully become the representative God of Sindhis. Devotional songs were penned, pamphlets printed, statues installed, festivals celebrated, and cultural events organized in thousands for the cause of Jhulelal. However, in 1950 Indian Sindhis, led by Ram Panjwani in Bombay, decided to transform Jhulelal into the 'god' of all Sindhis and unify the sindhi community. ĭevotion towards Jhulelal was not uniform in pre-partition Sindh many Sindhi had never heard of him and he was one of the many deities belonging to the Sindhi cultural pantheon. Ultimately, Jhulelal convinced the King to spare the Hindus and even gained devotees among the Muslims. The reincarnation of a sindhi deity, Jhulelal exhibited supernatural powers since childhood he preached about how the Muslims believed in the same God, and emphasized that the Koran forbade forced conversion. Legends converge upon that Jhulelal was born during the rule of one Islamic despot "Mirkshah", who had issued an ultimatum to local sindhi for converting to Islam. Jhulelal, incarnation of Varuna, sitting on a lotus flower in the middle of a river and surrounded by a couple of silver fish (palla fish)Ī folkloric deity among the sect of Daryapanthi Sindhis, Jhulelal ( Sindhi: جھوليلال झूलेलाल) is the most revered deity of Sindhi in modern South Asia.

That is, the conquest operated as an effort to sever connections linking Aceh with other areas and to constitute the region as an isolated periphery of the colonial state. Footnote 3 The conquest of Aceh was congruent with the incorporation of Malaya by the British, on the opposite side of the Strait of Malacca. Much emphasis has been placed, for example, on perceptions of the struggle as a “holy war.” Little has been written, in contrast, on ambivalent and multidimensional stances taking shape on both sides. While the literature has dwelt on the magnitude of the struggle and its reverberations throughout the Malay-Indonesian archipelago, it has also produced a simplistic and detrimental image of single-minded colonialists pitted against fanatical Muslims. Footnote 2 The Dutch-Acehnese war (1873–1942) was the largest, longest, and deadliest in pre-1945 Dutch colonial history. Inspired by Edward Said's statement and Willem van Schendel's work on the politics of knowledge and geographic imaginings in area studies, this article analyses the role of and linkages between knowledge, ideology, and geography in the colonial subjugation of Aceh and the Acehnese. That struggle is complex and interesting because it is not only about soldiers and cannons but also about ideas, about forms, about images and imaginings. Just as none of us is outside or beyond geography, none of us is completely free from the struggle over geography.

Under Water by Owen Grimenstein5/20/2023 "These thoughts certainly motivated me and may have been one of the biggest influences that pushed the story past being something shared among family to becoming a published book shared with the world," he added. "I often imagined her holding it in her hands and reading it with a smile and also talking about it with her coworkers and patrons of the library. I thought of this frequently while writing the book," he shared. "My mom was a big reader and was always so proud of the Fairview Library. Grimenstein grew up in Fairview surrounded by books, thanks to his mother the late Kathy Grimenstein who was the Branch Manager at the Fairview Library for 15 years. Our community needed help so friends, family and even strangers showed up so no one was alone," he said. "In the wake of the flood people blurred the lines between tragedy and triumph. According to Grimenstein, the kindness of others was weaved into each detail. The destruction however is only part of the story.

Arthur ransome books5/20/2023 The Swallows and Amazons novels – 12 in all – enjoy a worldwide reputation, and have been translated into over 18 different languages. Publication of the third novel, Peter Duck (1932), saw sales take off, and all the later books in the series were bestsellers. It was published in 1930 to favourable reviews, which led Ransome to devote himself to writing further books in the series. Featuring the adventures of children on and around the lakes, the novel was inspired by a summer spent teaching the four Altounyan children (grandchildren of the Collingwoods) to sail their dinghy Swallow on Coniston Water.
