School of Management Sciences Varanasi, popularly known as SMS Varanasi, has been a pristine institution attracting hues of both a new age B-School as well as an archaic academic house. A 1995-born institution in the holy city of Varanasi (Kashi) witnessed an auspicious time, the childhood period of the opening economy, and received a thumping welcome by virtue of being the first of its kind of self-financed institution in the region. Nurtured and groomed under the ethical guidelines of Dr. Bhisma Narayan Singh and academic care of renowned professors in the relevant areas, SMS Varanasi could attain the grit to imbibe the core value of ‘Quality’ in the underpinnings of its very foundation in order to pioneer the spread of management and other professional education in accordance with the spirit of Higher Education in this part of the country. Housed in an arrogantly beautiful green campus, SMS Varanasi is a NAAC ‘A’ Grade Accredited Institution that further maintains a visible position in the high-profile bracket of ’Top 50 B-Schools in India’. Committed to nurture academic and intellectual strivings, vibrant co- & extra-curricular activities, outreach initiatives and civic engagements of a high order, the institution, as early as 2003, started a ‘Centre of Spiritualism and Human Enrichment’ with the blessings of Pt. Vishnu Kant Shashtri, the then Hon’ble Governor, UP, and subsequently emerged as a Global Leader in positioning Spiritual Wisdom in the managerial epistemology. Remarkably, four bi-annual research Journals – Management Insight, Purushartha, Computing Trendz, and SMS Journal of Entrepreneurship & Innovation, published by us, are being indexed in International Data-base, Scopus, Elsevier, apart from being listed in the UGC-approved List of journals.

SMS, as a globally sensitive educational institution, believes that touching the quality-apotheosis in the scholastic context is certainly a distant destination, but it constantly instigated to continue taking steps forward unfettered during the institution’s peregrination so far. However, the unwavering quest of SMS to redefine the yardstick of excellence is a continuous process, and we are hopeful of touching the pinnacle in this regard by the burgeoning reliance of our stakeholders and the blessings of the Almighty.

Lakshmi Bai: Queen of Jhansi

Manikarnika Lakshmi Bai, or Laxmi Bai was born in November 19, 1835 in Kashi, India. She was brought in the Brahman household of Peshwa Baji Rao II.

Unlike most girl’s upbringings, she was brought up in the boy’s court and trained in the martial arts. She had a thing for being an equestrian and sword fighting.

Marriage and Children

In 1842, she married the Maharajah of Jhansi, named Gangador Rao, therefore becoming Queen of Jhansi. She took on her own name, Laxmi Bai, even after marriage. She was widowed without bearing an heir. However, before the Maharajah’s death, he adopted a boy as his heir.

The Governor- general of India in that time, was Lord Dalhousie. He refused to recognize the boy as a legitimate heir and annexed the kingdom in accordance with the Doctrine of Lapse. The Doctrine of Lapse was a formula to deal with Hindu Indian states, in terms of questioning succession. Typically, an heir that was adopted would have all rights of succession taken away due in favor of Western rule.

The 22 year old Queen refused to let her kingdom be annexed. In 1857, she ruled as regent on behalf of the heir. During the uprising against the British, she rapidly organized her troops for her own battle. Some of these troops included rebels in the Bundelkhand region.

Within a year, by 1858, due to the rebels uprising with the Queen of Jhansi, the city of Sagar was captured by General Hugh Rose, who was appointed Commander of the Central India force, who laid siege to Jhansi. The same year, the company’s forces surrounded the fort of Jhansi. From there a fierce battle raged.

Laxmi Bai never gave up no matter what. She fought like a badass Queen even if her troops were overwhelmed. One rebel leader, Tantia Tope joined her. She managed to escape from the fort with a small force of palace guards where other rebels joined her. Then Tantia Tope and Laxmi Bai finally mounted a successful assault on the city-fortress of Gwalior. A prominent leader, Nana Sahib was proclaimed as the peshwa of Gwalior. After taking Gwalior, Laxmi Bai confronted an attack on Rose’s forces in Morar. She was killed in combat, at the age of 22 in 1858.

_________________________

¹Urū-shōgatsu jūichi-nichi ・ asa  [閏正月十一日・朝].

   The Gregorian date of this chakai was March 6, 1591.

²Terumoto dono ・ hitori  [輝元殿・一人].

    This was Mōri Terumoto [毛利輝元; 1553 ~ 1625], daimyō-nobleman (as gon-chūnaigon [権中納言], Supernumerary Middle Counselor) he held the Third Rank), and a member of Hideyoshi’s Council of the Five Great Elders [go-tairō [五大老]).  He was thus an extremely important person -- and, interestingly, he also is one of the most frequent of Rikyū’s guests mentioned in the Rikyū Hyakkai Ki.

     While Lord Terumoto at his meal alone (Rikyū actually indicates that he was “hitori” [一人], meaning that he was invited to the gathering alone, as the sole guest)*, in fact three other guests joined the chakai during the go-za.  Details of them will be found below (in footnotes 17 to 21). ___________ *This is evidence that Rikyū wrote his kaiki before the fact -- as a sort of planner.  And the use of a chū-natsume (rather than an ō-natsume as might have been better, with four guests to serve) suggests that the other three people were not originally expected; thus Rikyū had to make due with the utensils (and the amount of matcha) that had already been prepared.

    The mention of the other three guests, and the way he disposed of them in a different part of his mansion, was scribbled in at the end of the entry.  In other words, it seems that two of the guests (who were personal retainers of Lord Terumoto) unexpectedly accompanied Terumoto to Rikyū’s house, after which Rikyū may have sent word to the third (a chajin and personal friend) to join and help him with the food service, and perhaps to act as a sort of provisional hantō during the service of tea as well (since the presence of retainers would demand that Rikyu treat Lord Terumoto much more formally than it seems he did when Terumoto visited him unattended).

    Following the meal, all three of these people joined Lord Terumoto in the 4.5-mat room for tea.

³Yojō-han [四疊半].

⁴Shi-hō-gama  [四方釜].

⁵Seto mizusashi  [瀬戸水指].

⁶Seitaka ・ kuro-chawan  [せいたか・くろ茶碗].

⁷Chaire ・ chū-natsume  [茶入・中ナツメ].

    Apparently liking the effect of his maki-e ō-natsume the day before, Rikyū decided to try something similar, but using a smaller tea container, better suited to the service of a single guest*.

    Together with this natsume, Rikyū would have used an ori-tame [折撓] as the chashaku, one that he had made by himself.

    And, though also not mentioned in his kaiki, Rikyū most likely used a take-wa [竹輪] as the futaoki, and a mentsū [面桶] as the mizu-koboshi.

___________ *It seems that the gathering had been originally planned for Mōri Terumoto alone.  Then three other guests came and asked to be allowed to participate.  Rikyū probably served Terumoto a personal bowl of koicha, and then offered a second bowl of koicha to the others (as sui-cha [吸い茶], meaning that a single bowl of koicha was shared by these three guests), followed by usucha.

⁸Shakuhachi ni baika ireru  [尺八に梅花入る].

    As before, this was the oki-hanaire [置き花入] named “Shakuhachi” [尺八] that Rikyū had made for the all-night flower-arranging competition that Hideyoshi had hosted during the siege of Odawara the previous summer.

    Placed on an usu-ita [薄板] on the floor of the tokonoma, the effect would have been similar to that of the previous day.

⁹Ato ni Hashi-date deru  [後に橋立出る].

    Hashi-date [橋立] was Rikyū’s best cha-tsubo.  It was taken to the island of Shikoku not long after his death, and vanished from the records (and so was presumed lost) during Sen no Sōtan’s lifetime (according to a document written by Sōtan that discusses the fates of Rikyū’s three cha-tsubo).

    In Rikyū’s period it was customary for the guests to have an interest in examining the cha-tsubo, since this also revealed the source of the tea that it contained.  (In this period, the tea jars were usually filled by tea merchants, who acquired the leaf tea from the growers, and then blended it in order to achieve a more consistent product from year to year.)

¹⁰Tai no yaki-mono  [鯛のやき物].

    Tai [鯛] (sea bream) grilled over charcoal.  It was basted with salted water while it cooked.

¹¹Koi no sashimi  [こいのさしみ].

    This refers to what is now known as koi arai [鯉洗い]:  the carp was cleaned and filleted, and the fillets were placed in a bath of hot water before they were transferred to cold water (to chill and firm the flesh).  After chilling, the fillets were carved into bite-sized pieces, as usual for sashimi.

¹²Imo-no-kuki ・ azuki irete [no] shiru  [いものくき・小豆入テ汁].

    This is a kind of miso-shiru, in which imo-no-kuki and cooked azuki beans are suspended.

    Imo-no-kuki [芋の莖, 芋の茎]* are the petioles of the taro plant.  These were eaten as a vegetable in early spring†, when the plants first begin to sprout.  Care must be taken to remove the stringy vascular bundles from the concave side of the petiole before cooking.  They are boiled lightly, but should still be fairly crisp when served.

    Azuki [小豆] are small, burgundy-colored beans.  They are best known to foreign practitioners of chanoyu as being one of the main ingredients in many types of wa-gashi [和菓子] (Japanese traditional sweets -- though the word is generally used to refer to kashi specifically made for chanoyu), but, in fact, they are also used as a vegetable, as here. ___________ *More commonly known as zuiki [ずいき = 芋茎] today.

†They could, of course, be eaten at any time.  But it was in the early spring, when fresh vegetables were still scarce, that imo-no-kuki were most commonly included in the diet.

    The petioles of the sweet potato plant (not the vines) can be eaten in the same way, and sometimes the name imo-no-kuki is used for these as well.

¹³Meshi  [めし].

    Steamed rice.

¹⁴Hakuchō no shiru  [白鳥ノ汁].

    This is a clear soup -- perhaps served more as a stew (in other words, with a larger proportion of meat and vegetables than when offered as a soup course) -- made by boiling the flesh and bones of a wild swan, together with pieces of daikon and seasonal vegetables.

     The swan would have been provided to Rikyū by Hideyoshi’s hawkers.

¹⁵Fu-no-yaki  [ふのやき].

    Rikyū’s signature wheaten crêpes, spread with sweet white miso (or possibly miso-an [味噌餡] -- which is the same white miso diluted with strained cooked white beans) before being rolled or folded into bite-sized pieces.

¹⁶Yaki-guri  [やき栗].

    Roasted chestnuts.

¹⁷Sase Yosozaemon [佐世與三左衞門].

    This refers to the bushō [武将] (military man) and daimyō Sase Motoyoshi [佐世元嘉; 1546 ~ 1620], who was a personal retainer of Mōri Terumoto.  Motoyoshi served as Governor of Iwami (Iwami-no-kami  [石見守]), and also Governor of Nagato (Nagato-no-kami  [長門守]), both in the far west of the main Japanese island of Honshū, with the latter position including responsibility for guarding the Kanmon Straits.

    Sase Motoyoshi and Hayashi Narinaga were both Mōri Terumoto’s personal attendants -- perhaps equivalent to his personal guard of honor.

¹⁸Hayashi Hizen-no-kami  [林肥前守].

    This is a reference to Hayashi Narinaga [林就長; 1517 ~ 1605], another personal retainer of Mōri Terumoto, who was a daimyō-nobleman* in his own right.

    The Hisada-bon [久田本] refers to this man as Hayashi Higo-no-kami [林肥後守], meaning he was the Governor of Higo, but this is clearly an error -- since a member of the Hayashi family did not serve as governor of that province until the late Edo period.  Possibly this suggests that portions of the Hisada-bon were modified later. ___________ *As Governor of Hizen (Hizen no kami [肥前守]), Hayashi Narinaga held the junior grade of the Fifth Rank.

¹⁹Shōan rō  [少安老].

    This probably refers to Mozu-ya Sōan [萬代屋宗安; ? ~ 1594]*, who appears to have been close to Rikyū’s own age (perhaps a year or two younger, as attested by the affectionate use of the kanji “shō” [少]) -- and who has been seen in the role of batsu-kyaku [末客] (last guest)/hantō [半東] (host’s assistant) at other chakai where the other guests were high government officials or noblemen.  Sōan’s name was also written as Shōan/Sōan [variously as 少安, 小安, 少庵, and 小庵], by his contemporaries†.

    I should mention that the Sadō Ko-ten Zen-shu‡ identifies this person (without further explanation, or justification) as [Miyaō] Sōjun [(宮王)宗淳; 1546 ~ 1614], the son of Miyaō Saburō Sannyū [宮王三郎三入; ? ~ 1582], who is usually known today as Sen no Shōan [千少 庵].  But this argument is extremely problematic, if only because (in addition to the fact that the second kanji for his name is different -- and this difference has nowhere been accounted for) the suffix rō [老] (which means “old man**”) would not have been appropriate for a man 45 years of age, who was younger than everybody else participating at this gathering with the exception of the shōkyaku (and even here the age-difference was not sufficient to elicit this sort of honorific, were “Shōan” actually a member of Terumoto’s party -- rather than someone whom Rikyū had called upon to help him in a pinch as I have suggested). ___________ *While Mozu-ya Sōan’s date of birth is not known with certainty, the indications are that he was the same age (or a year or two younger) than Rikyū himself.  While there was no fixed rule, the honorific suffix rō [老] was not generally used for people under 60 years of age.

†Which has played into the hands of scholars who want to assert a closer connection between Miyaō Sōjun, who was also known as Shōan [少庵] (though it seems, mostly in later accounts), and Rikyū.  In fact, it is difficult to associate Miyaō Saburō Sannyū’s son with most of these references (which is why they are rarely mentioned in public), while the more likely person is always Mozu-ya Sōan.

    Mozu-ya Sōan was one of Rikyū’s closest personal friends, and it would be to such a person that he would turn when he needed help serving important guests (as here), rather than the son of his second wife (whom he had married on Hideyoshi’s orders around 1585 or ’86, and to whose son he had barely been introduced -- a son who practiced a form of machi-shū chanoyu far removed from Rikyu’s own style).

‡Published by Tankōsha [淡交社], whose affiliated scholars can always be relied upon to promote Urasenke’s version of chanoyu and its history.

**The suffix ro [老] also includes the nuance that the person so designated was what we might call an “elder” -- that is, in the context of chanoyu, a publicly respected master (what Yamanoue Sōji called a chanoyu-sha [茶湯者], a man who made his living as a teacher of tea, and who was publicly acknowledged and respected as such).  Mozu-ya Sōan was, in fact, employed as one of Hideyoshi’s tea masters (and apparently part of his responsibility was to act as an instructor for Hideyoshi’s courtiers, and possibly his women); Sen no Shōan, on the other hand, does not seem to have cultivated much of a public persona -- and he (and his son Sōtan) seem to have curtailed all of their public activities, and literally went into hiding after Rikyū’s seppuku (a situation from which Sōtan only emerged in his later years, and only after much prodding by the Tokugawa bakufu).

²⁰Hiroma [廣間].

    The 18-mat “Colored Shoin,” the main reception room in Rikyū’s Juraku-tei residence.

    The guests would have had to exit the building and cross the garden to reach the (detached) 4.5-mat yashiki.

    Two of the men may have been attendants of Mōri Terumoto, and were served their meal separately -- perhaps because their presence had not been anticipated by Rikyū.  Shōan, meanwhile, was a personal friend of Rikyū‘s, who likely participated in order to help Rikyū serve the others*. ___________ *As Rikyū could not be in two places at the same time, Shōan may have helped with the food service in the shoin, while Rikyū waited on Lord Terumoto in the 4.5-mat room.

    Nevertheless, the fact that Shōan also drank tea during the go-za together with the others suggests that he was not simply an assistant.

²¹After the naka-dachi, the three other “guests” followed Lord Terumoto when he returned for the go-za.

    Possibly they joined him at the koshi-kake.

Stocks Rebound as Wall Street Shakes Off Inflation Worries: Live Updates Shoppers returned to central London last month. Retail sales in Britain rose in April by double the rate predicted by economists.Credit…Mary Turner for The New York Times U.S. stock futures rose on Friday along with most European stock indexes as data showed more evidence of the European economy strengthening as it emerges from lockdowns and vaccines are rolled out faster. The S&P 500 is expected to increase 0.3 percent when trading begins, futures indicated. The U.S. benchmark index has dropped about 0.4 percent so far this week after concerns about faster-than-expected inflation unsettled markets. The Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.4 percent led by gains in consumer companies. One of the biggest gainers was Richemont, the Swiss luxury goods company that owns brands including Cartier and Montblanc. Richemont shares rose 5.3 percent after the company reported its full-year results with strong growth in sales in Asia especially for its jewelry and watch brands. Oil prices rose. Futures of West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. crude benchmark, rose 0.7 percent to $62.38 a barrel. Economic data Retail sales in Britain surged in April as nonessential stores were allowed to reopen. The volume of sales increased 9.2 percent from the previous month, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday. It was more than double the forecast by economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Shopping for clothes stores led the resurgence. Across the eurozone, activity in the services sector jumped in May. The Purchasing Managers’ Index climbed to 55.1 points from 50.5 in April, IHS Markit said on Friday. A reading above 50 signals expansion. The index for manufacturing was little changed from the previous month at 62.8. “Growth would have been even stronger had it not been for record supply chain delays and difficulties restarting businesses quickly enough to meet demand, especially in terms of rehiring,” Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit, wrote in the report. “The outlook for the eurozone is quite bright at the moment with stronger growth and inflation pressures increasing,” Bert Colijn, an economist at ING wrote in a note. He added that the economic rebound that “cautiously started somewhere in January” has significantly accelerated in the second quarter of this year. George Greenfield, the founder of CreativeWell, a literary agency in Montclair, N.J., applied for a loan in March with Biz2Credit. The initial amount he was offered was less than a quarter of what he was eligible for.Credit…Ed Kashi for The New York Times The government’s $788 billion relief effort for small businesses ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic, the Paycheck Protection Program, is ending as it began, with the initiative’s final days mired in chaos and confusion. Millions of applicants are seeking money from the scant handful of lenders still making the government-backed loans. Hundreds of thousands of people are stuck in limbo, waiting to find out if they will receive their approved loans — some of which have been stalled for months because of errors or glitches. Lenders are overwhelmed, and borrowers are panicking, The New York Times’s Stacy Cowley reports. The relief program had been scheduled to keep taking applications until May 31. But two weeks ago, its manager, the Small Business Administration, announced that the program’s $292 billion in financing for forgivable loans this year had nearly run out and that it would immediately stop processing most new applications. Then the government threw another curveball: The Small Business Administration decided that the remaining money, around $9 billion, would be available only through community financial institutions, a small group of specially designated institutions that focus on underserved communities. A roll of steel is packaged and labeled.Credit…Taylor Glascock for The New York Times The American steel industry is experiencing a comeback that few would have predicted even months ago. Steel prices are at record highs and demand is surging as businesses step up production amid an easing of pandemic restrictions. Steel makers have consolidated in the past year, allowing them to exert more control over supply. Tariffs on foreign steel imposed by the Trump administration have kept cheaper imports out. And steel companies are hiring again, The New York Times’s Matt Phillips reports. It’s not clear how long the boom will last. This week, the Biden administration began discussions with European Union trade officials about global steel markets. Some steel workers and executives believe that could lead to an eventual pullback of the Trump-era tariffs, which are widely credited for spurring the turnaround in the steel industry. Record prices for steel are not going to reverse decades of job losses. Since the early 1960s, employment in the steel industry has fallen more than 75 percent. More than 400,000 jobs disappeared as foreign competition grew and as the industry shifted toward production processes that required fewer workers. But the price surge is delivering some optimism to steel towns across the country, especially after job losses during the pandemic pushed American steel employment to the lowest level on record. Shareholders of Tribune Publishing, the owner of major metropolitan newspapers like the The Chicago Tribune and The New York Daily News, will vote on Friday on whether to approve the company’s sale to Alden Global Capital, a financial investor with a reputation for slashing costs and cutting jobs. Alden already holds a 32 percent stake in Tribune, so the deal hinges on approval from the shareholders who own the other two-thirds of Tribune’s stock. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, a billionaire medical entrepreneur who owns The Los Angeles Times and other California papers with his wife, Michele B. Chan, has a 24 percent stake in Tribune. Dr. Soon-Shiong has not commented publicly on how he intends to vote. CNN said on Thursday that its prime-time host Chris Cuomo inappropriately offered public-relations advice to his brother, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, after a series of sexual harassment allegations threatened the governor’s political career earlier this year. CNN said Chris Cuomo would refrain from any more similar discussions with the governor’s staff. But the network said it would take no disciplinary action against the anchor, whose program was CNN’s highest-rated show in the first quarter of the year. Chris Cuomo apologized to viewers and his colleagues at the start of Thursday’s show for the calls with the governor’s staff, saying: “It will not happen again. It was a mistake.” But he also defended himself, saying that he “of course” gave advice to his brother and that he was “family first, job second.” Source link Orbem News #Inflation #Live #Rebound #Shakes #stocks #Street #Updates #Wall #Worries
