 il torch@humanities.ox.ac.uk.\n\nAbout the book\n\nBased on ten years of r
 esearch\, Santanu Das's India\, Empire\, and First World War Culture: Writ
 ings\, Images\, and Songs recovers the sensuous experience of combatants\,
  non-combatants and civilians from undivided India in the 1914–1918 conf
 lict and their socio-cultural\, visual\, and literary worlds. Around 1.5 m
 illion Indians were recruited\, of whom over a million served abroad. Das 
 draws on a variety of fresh\, unusual sources - objects\, images\, rumours
 \, streetpamphlets\, letters\, diaries\, sound-recordings\, folksongs\, te
 stimonies\, poetry\, essays\, and fiction - to produce the first cultural 
 and literary history\, moving from recruitment tactics in villages through
  sepoy traces and feelings in battlefields\, hospitals\, and POW camps to 
 post-war reflections on Europe and empire. Combining archival excavation i
 n different countries across several continents with investigative reading
 s of Gandhi\, Kipling\, Iqbal\, Naidu\, Nazrul\, Tagore\, and Anand\, this
  imaginative study opens up the worlds of sepoys and labourers\, men and w
 omen\, nationalists\, artists\, and intellectuals\, trying to make sense o
 f home and the world in times of war.\n\nEventbrite processes data (includ
