3 STORIES: ABANINDRANATH TAGORE
The three stories in this collection are united by a common theme of chivalry and sacrifice. It was said that Abanindranath Tagore used his pen as an artist uses a brush – to colour old tales and bring them to vivid life. The stories are filled with unforgettable vignettes of heated desert sands and filigreed balconies clinging to sheer mountain walls. Ancient battles and family sagas come to life and it is easy to see how these stories inspired many young freedom fighters to dare and dream of overthrowing their colonial masters. Whether today’s reader seeks inspiration or is simply entertained by these tales of Rajput valor, they are a magical window to the richness of Indian literature.

The Alternate Nation of Abanindranath Tagore
This volume provides a revisionary critique of the art of Abanindranath Tagore, the founder of the national school of Indian painting, popularly known as the Bengal School of Art. The book categorically argues that the art of Abanindranath, which developed during the Bengal Renaissance in the 19th–20th centuries, was not merely a normalization of national or oriental principle, but was a hermeneutic negotiation between modernity and community. It establishes that his form of art—embedded in communitarian practices like kirtan, alpona, pet-naming, syncretism, and storytelling through oral allegories—sought a social identity within the inter-subjective context of locality, regionality, nationality, and trans-nationality. The author presents Abanindranath as a creative agent who, through his art, conducted a critical engagement with post-Enlightenment modernity and regional subalternity.

Art and Nationalism in Colonial India, 1850-1922
Partha Mitter's book is a pioneering study of the history of modern art on the Indian subcontinent from 1850 to 1922. The author tells the story of Indian art during the Raj, set against the interplay of colonialism and nationalism. The work addresses the tensions and contradictions that attended the advent of European naturalism in India, as part of the imperial design for the westernisation of the elite, and traces the artistic evolution from unquestioning westernisation to the construction of Hindu national identity. Through a wide range of literary and pictorial sources, Art and Nationalism in Colonial India balances the study of colonial cultural institutions and networks with the ideologies of the nationalist and intellectual movements which followed. The result is a book of immense significance, both in the context of South Asian history and in the wider context of art history.
