Tuberculosis bacillus isolated, and posited as a definitive cause of the baffling disease that captured particularly, the Romantic imagination. Myths about the nature of the disease, the nature of the suffering caused by it, and the nature of those it chooses to afflict, will continue well into the next century.

Dhundiraj Phalke's notes for a possible script? on Raja Ravi Varma

Ravi Varma: " And when you have finished with both, the body and its robes, when the most difficult labour is over, then you can take the evening off and sleep a fresh sleep in the knowledge of the pleasure that awaits you, when you will make their jewels. The brush must pick up the paint with some strength, because pearls need body. But when the brush leans on the canvas, then your touch must be light and sure, as pearl by pearl you festoon your woman with garlands. You let a small spot of gold touch his ear and hold up a teardrop of white. These too are the glories of our people, these make them more real, the viewer's hands are lifted in wonder and desire, wanting to touch and fearing to do the same. And women come closer, and look down at their own necks when they see these pictures, and see themselves standing at doorways, looking back, turning their heads, see themselves as Subhadra, as Damayanti, as Shakuntala"

Raja Raja listens. He knows his older brother has been a good student of their uncle, who is an expert in the Tanjore school of painting, where ornamentation is the most delicate and cosummate skill you can practice. But Raja Raja senses he has other desires. If Ravi Verma keens his eye to the texture of skin, the transparency of cloth that covers Urvashi's breast, Raja Raja's eye is on the pigments of the dawn that suffuse the sky, the grains of the evening that fall over a pond, till you feel they might choke you. He marvels at the changes of the sky in each new place they visit, and he remembers them all.


Death of Vishnupant Chiplunkar, Pune Brahman, brilliant, polemical opponent of Phule. Chiplunkar might have been one of Phalke's heroes?

1882, Memorial addressed to the education commission. Phule "I sincerely hope the Government will ere long..take the glory into their own hands, of emancipating my Shudra brethren from the trammels of bondage which the Brahmans have woven around them like the coils of serpent...Away with all Brahmin school masters"

Saubhadra 'One year later, in 1882, Kirloskar presented on stage his musical Saubhadra (सौभद्र). This play too contained well over 100 musical pieces, and once again he acted in the play. Because of its multifaceted quality, Saubhadra surpassed even the high popularity of Shakuntal. Innumerable performances of these two plays have been presented by different performing groups to the Marathi audience since their premiere 130 years ago.'
