Request for sources

Dear colleagues,

a very bright undergraduate student who is a studio art major wants to to a research project on the ways in which contemporary Western (visual) artists have been inspired by Buddhism (Buddhist art, philosophy, meditation...). This is so not my field, but I find the question interesting. If any references come to mind that could help her, I'd appreciate if you could send them my way. Respond off-list if you think that this is too basic a question for H-Buddhism: of@austin.utexas.edu.

Thanks in advance! Best,

Does anyone know whether the Grenada national archive and national libraries are still closed? And if so, whether there are any other useful depositories in the island on the post-WWII history of Grenada?

Dear Dan,

A. R. Khatoon wrote about the 1935 earthquake in Quetta in her novel "Shama", which is in Urdu. It was published in 1941.

Thank you

Dear Dan,

There is one nazm by Nazir Akbarabadi, called Bhuchal Nama, describing the earthquake in Agra during early 19th c. He has also written on other natural occurrence such as Aandhi (Hurricane).

Hope it helps,

Dear colleagues,

Does anyone know of modern writing on natural disasters, particularly earthquakes or floods, in Urdu? Either fiction or auto/biographical.

Thanks very much for your help!

Best wishes,
