In this day and age, it is hard to imagine being without a book to read. It seems these days that everyone has a book. Everyone, that is, but shoppers at the main bookshop in my city of Sada Punjab Book pdf free 816. This bookstore specializes in English-language titles from the British colonial era—but all their books are out of print and very hard to come by. I came upon this bookshop through an advertisement in a small personal journal I keep for my own use. It is a simple text, but it struck me as interesting. The shop owner said he would be happy to speak with me about his bookstore and the books he sells. When I arrived at his shop that evening, Mr. Singh was waiting for me outside. He invited me in to meet him and have a cup of tea, which we did before going inside to chat in the office behind the main room of the bookstore. After I told him about my interest in the bookstore and its owner, Mr. Singh took me on a tour of the store. He showed me rooms full of original manuscripts by great writers like Rudyard Kipling, William Wordsworth, and Thomas Hardy; classrooms that had once housed the children of British travelers; and even some rooms that used to house Indian booksellers who worked for the colonial administration. Then we went into the main room where there were dozens of books stacked floor-to-ceiling along shelves running from one end to the other—ones that have been out-of-print for decades. The majority of them are novels from India's colonial era—and Mr. Singh, who was trained as a historian and is an expert on the colonial period in Indian history, explained why. "The British were concerned that Indians would try to undermine colonial rule through education and literacy," he explained. "One of the strategies they used to suppress education was by introducing only one language—English—into the school system. At first, it looked like it might not work; Indian students protested because they were forced to learn in a foreign language. But as time went on, many students came around and liked learning in English." "Through school textbooks and stories about India's rich history and culture, they were able to build a nationalistic pride that we see today," he continued. "The introduction of English also gave the British a way to control Indian politics by finding out who was working with whom and how each family was related to the next in the political or business world." "Other people in India saw these books as a way to support their families," he added, "so they would take bribes from booksellers in exchange for publishing them." "Here's an example," he said. We were standing near a shelf filled with a dozen or so novels by Walter Starkie, a British author who traveled across India during the early twentieth century. cfa1e77820
