My Passage Through Life
A first-hand, factual account of the author's personal journey, spanning over nine decades: growing up in a rural village of North India; struggling to carve out his identity and finding his path; creating his own little world that he calls his destiny…and in doing so, rubbing shoulders with many eminent personalities, and witnessing extraordinary historic events of his time. In sharing what he calls 'his ordinary life', he gives his family and future generations a gift: to learn about their ancestry and roots, and about his life shaped by events and people he calls 'his teachers'. His autobiography chronicles a period of extreme challenges during India's struggle for independence and gives readers a glimpse into the history of broadcasting in India.

The Life of a Text
The Life of a Text offers a vivid portrait of one community's interaction with its favorite text—the epic Ramcaritmanas—and the way in which performances of the epic function as a flexible and evolving medium for cultural expression. Anthropologists, historians of religion, and readers interested in the culture of North India and the performance arts will find breadth of subject, careful scholarship, and engaging presentation in this unique and beautifully illustrated examination of Hindi culture. The most popular and influential text of Hindi-speaking North India, the epic Ramcaritmanas is a sixteenth century retelling of the Ramayana story by the poet Tulsidas. This masterpiece of pre-modern Hindi literature has always reached its largely illiterate audiences primarily through oral performance including ceremonial recitation, folksinging, oral exegesis, and theatrical representation. Drawing on fieldwork in Banaras, Lutgendorf breaks new ground by capturing the range of performance techniques in vivid detail and tracing the impact of the epic in its contemporary cultural context.
