Indian jewelry has a rich and diverse history, spanning thousands of years and encompassing a wide range of styles, designs, and cultural influences. From the ancient Indus Valley civilization to the present day, jewelry has played an important role in Indian culture, serving not just as adornment, but also as a symbol of social status, religious beliefs, and cultural identity. One of the most distinctive features of Indian jewelry is its use of precious and semi-precious gems and stones, such as diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and pearls, as well as gold, silver, and other metals. Indian jewelry is also known for its intricate designs and intricate craftsmanship, which often involves a combination of traditional techniques and modern tools. There are many different styles of Indian jewelry, each with its own unique history and cultural significance. Some of the most well-known include Rajasthani jewelry, with its intricate gold and silver filigree work and use of colorful gems; Kundan jewelry, which features gold and precious stones set into a flat base; and Meenakari jewelry, which is characterized by its colorful enamel work. Regardless of the style, Indian jewelry is a beloved and cherished part of the country's cultural heritage, and continues to be an important part of modern Indian fashion and style.

In 1979 Billy McEwan is drifting through his last year of college (or, at any rate, his last year as an undergraduate.) But then he meets a troubled young woman named Tammi Honig. He does not save her life, but perhaps she saves his. Thanks to her, he enjoys (or experiences, at least) many adventures on New York's Upper West Side, back in the days when the City was still dangerous, dirty, and romantic, back in the days of punk rock, Thai stick, and Checker cabs. Indeed, his adventures eventually lead him beyond the boundaries of the Upper West Side. He doesn't just venture south of West 72nd Street or north of West 125th Street: at various times, he finds himself as far afield as Boston, Atlanta, and even the San Fernando Valley.

The whole world is changing with incredible speed towards something radically new, yet people across the globe also show resistance to the forces that homogenize our lives. This book deals with a community that has found its niche in the remote Niamgiri mountain range of Odisha (India) and is struggling to preserve its way of life: the Dongria Kond. In recent years, they made the headlines as the real “Avatars” because they successfully fought a multinational company’s plans to mine the mountains. From the perspective of the Dongria Kond, these mountains are the seat of gods, and the whole environment is animated by spiritual forces. This highly complex cosmic order includes humans and non-humans and rests on a divine law (niam). This book captures the viewpoint of the Dongria Kond and provides deep insights into their vision of the world. It offers elaborate accounts of how the Dongria relate to the outside world, conceive of their own society and engage in complex rituals in order to (re-)establish the cosmos. The book confronts the reader with radically different imaginings of familiar human concerns: love, fertility, wealth, status and well-being.

What do I wear today? The way we answer this question says much about how we manage and express our identities. This detailed study examines sartorial style in India from the late nineteenth century to the present, showing how trends in clothing are related to caste, level of education, urbanization, and a larger cultural debate about the nature of Indian identity. Clothes have been used to assert power, challenge authority, and instigate social change throughout Indian society. During the struggle for independence, members of the Indian elite incorporated elements of Western style into their clothes, while Gandhi's adoption of the loincloth symbolized the rejection of European power and the contrast between Indian poverty and British wealth. Similar tensions are played out today, with urban Indians adopting "ethnic" dress as villagers seek modern fashions. Illustrated with photographs, satirical drawings, and magazine advertisements, this book shows how individuals and groups play with history and culture as they decide what to wear.
