Etihas.in video magazine - 4th issue, April 2016

We are glad to bring you the fourth issue of Etihas.in, an online video magazine of history, arts and culture of India and South Asia. See http://etihas.in/magazine.html 
Each month, Etihas.in features short videos containing interviews with experts, mini-documentaries, audio podcasts, and recordings of performing arts among many other items that we hope will entertain and inspire you.

In this April issue, we bring you the following short videos and segments:

1. The meaning of Patriotism/Nationalism - part 1 (Five songs)
Many scholars, artists and authors discuss (and celebrate) the concept of 
Indian nationalism/patriotism in the wake of current political 
challenges in India. This first section of videos features songs recited
by poets and theatre artists. 
See these five new videos here: http://etihas.in/patriot-mar16.html

2. Guftam ke raushan az qamar - Amir Khusrau's ghazal performed by Rene Singh
Amir Khusrau Dehlavi is famous for his ghazals or love poems. Rene Singh 
renders one of Khusrau's famous Persian ghazals in a stage performance 
along with Syeda Hameed, Zakia Zaheer and other artists. Each line in 
the poem is a dialogue between the poet and the beloved.

3. Cave and rock art in India - a list of online resources
Many locations within India and South Asia have brilliant examples of 
ancient paintings and figures made on the walls inside caves or on rock 
shelters. We provide here a collection of links and resources on India's
cave and rock art. See the list here: http://etihas.in/caveart.html

4. Featured video: Baolis or Step wells of India - historical water management
In our series of videos from outside Etihas.in, we feature a 
mini-documentary film (produced by Wildlife Films) about the historical 
step wells or baolis in India. Exquisitely carved step wells catering to
the water needs of the people can be found in different towns and 
villages all over India.
