A brother and sister visit the unique crater lake that their dead, estranged mother had written to them about in her letters. A middle-class executive’s orderly life turns upside down when his employer holds back his pay cheque without explanation. The employees of a forgotten outpost in a sun-baked town threaten mass suicide because they have no hope of survival. Seventeen is a collection of short stories from Anita Agnihotri’s vast oeuvre. By turn, intense, bitter, angry, sad and torn apart by conflict, the stories bring out different faces of human hardship, and explore a country that is still unknown to many. Set in metros and villages, in small-town India and international suburbia, Agnihotri’s stories run the gamut of experiences both everyday and extraordinary. This is literary craftsmanship at its best. Published by Zubaan.

A Touch of Salt

By: Anita Agnihotri

Mahatma Gandhi to Dandi, and become a part of the historic violation of the Salt Act in British India. This is, of course, unrecorded by history. He was an Agariya, one of the salt-harvesters in the Rann of Kutch. Today, the Agariyas working in the salt pans have no water, homes or schools for their children. They are being squeezed out by the law that has identified the entire Rann as reserved forest for wild asses. Tribhuban’s grandson Azad has no choice but to take up the fight for salt against the establishment once more, this time in an independent India. A Touch of Salt is the story of Tribhuban and Azad, of Mohandas and Kasturba, of Malati and Vishnuram, of the multitude of Agariyas, countless lives lived, lost, and buried in salt and sand.

The Awakening

By: Anita Agnihotri

Arjun is not a potter by birth. He is a low caste cobbler but he is determined to succeed in his chosen profession which deals with clay and straw instead of leather. Through Arjun’s struggle, the author explores caste and class discrimination that continues to plague society in contemporary India. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the violence of the Naxal movement of the 1960s and ’70s that wiped out an entire generation of Bengal’s youth. Anita Agnihotri sensitively handles a difficult subject and interweaves these two struggles: the one of the idol maker and the other of the families of the young Naxalite revolutionaries whom the state destroyed.

Mahuldiha Days

By: Anita Agnihotri

Set in the forests of northern Odisha, Mahuldia Days is the moving story of a young civil servant caught between her commitment to the tribal communities she knows are the original inhabitants of the forest, and the monolithic state, oblivious to the diverse realities of life on the ground. The moonlit Brahmani river snakes through the story with a life of its own while the city of the narrator’s childhood returns to her in dreams. Agnihotri creates a poignant, intense narrative layered with an awareness of the pressures of motherhood and personal love. Praise for Anita Agnihotri: “Agnihotri draws you in with her well fleshed out characters. Their dreams, idiosyncrasies and disappointments are all too real; as are their failures.” — Aparna Singh, Women’s Web “Urgently told and precise in their direction... Each story crackles with intensity and purpose.” — Mike McClelland, Spectrum Culture “[Anita Agnihotri] sensitively and beautifully chronicles the plight of a major chunk of the country’s population.” — Abdullah Khan, The Hindu

Staging Feminisms

Gender, Violence and Performance in Contemporary India

By: Anita Singh

This book questions how feminist beliefs are enacted within an artistic context. It critically examines the intersection of violence, gender, performance and power through contemporary interventionist performances. The volume explores a host of key themes like feminism and folk epic, community theatre, performance as radical cultural intervention, volatile bodies and celebratory protests. Through analysing performances of theatre stalwarts like Usha Ganguly, Maya Krishna Rao, Sanjoy Ganguly, Shilpi Marwaha and Teejan Bai, the volume discusses the complexities and contradictions of a feminist reading of contemporary performances. A major intervention in the field of feminism and performance, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of gender studies, performance studies, theatre studies, women’s studies, cultural studies, sociology of gender and literature.

Rethinking Disability in India

Divine Love of Two Souls

By: Kisnaa Anita Birhman

Chale jo do kadam saath woh, (As she ambles the aisle with me) To unke saath se Pyaar ho jaye, (May I be enmeshed in her companionship forever) Thaame jo Pyaar se mera haath woh, (As she seizes my hand with tender love) To apne hi haath se Pyaar ho jaye, (May I be ensnared by the charm of my own hand) Hota hai agar itna khoobsurat yeh Pyaar, (If love is so alluring and prepossessing) To aye Khuda unhe bhi mere Pyaar se Pyaar ho jaye! (Oh omniscient being! May she be enchanted by my love) It was 5 in the morning when I blinked open an eye to wake up. I was in deep sleep till some time ago, and it felt as if someone had lovingly caressed my hair. But when I opened my eyes, there was no one there. For a few precious moments, I felt the sensation of that loving touch that I had experienced since childhood. It seemed as if that sensation was all around me. Now that presence was close to me; my Radha in the form of Annu was in my life. Divine Love of Two Souls is a story of those emotions that this generation has perhaps lost along the way.
