Recollections from a Crawlway

By: Kalpana M. Naghnoor

About the stories Recollections From A Crawlway is a collection of the twenty-one short stories, which are the musings of the author and reflective of the Indian urban scenario. To trail A Wooden Wagon is a prize winner and published by Unisun under the aegis of The British Council. Some stories touch upon the issues of the urban woman, as she is in transition from being a mere wife to a self realized entity. In the others the characters come alive to a realism weve known. The stories are like a personal diary of a looking glass; the ponderings of people and the bizarre mind and its reflections on the inverse.

Tools of Justice

Non-discrimination and the Indian Constitution

By: Kalpana Kannabiran

In the years since independence, the Indian subcontinent has witnessed an alarming rise in violence against marginalized communities, with an increasing number of groups pushed to the margins of the democratic order. Against this background of violence, injustice and the abuse of rights, this book explores the critical, ‘insurgent’ possibilities of constitutionalism as a means of revitalising the concepts of non-discrimination and liberty, and of reimagining democratic citizenship. The book argues that the breaking down of discrimination in constitutional interpretation and the narrowing of the field of liberty in law deepen discriminatory ideologies and practices. Instead, it offers an intersectional approach to jurisprudence as a means of enabling the law to address the problem of discrimination along multiple, intersecting axes. The argument is developed in the context of the various grounds of discrimination mentioned in the constitution — caste, tribe, religious minorities, women, sexual minorities, and disability. The study draws on a rich body of materials, including official reports, case law and historical records, and uses insights from social theory, anthropology, literary and historical studies and constitutional jurisprudence to offer a new reading of non-discrimination. This book will be useful to those interested in law, sociology, gender studies, politics, constitutionalism, disability studies, human rights, social exclusion, etc.

Rediscovering Dharavi

Stories from Asia's Largest Slum

By: Kalpana Sharma

A Book That Challenges The Conventional Notion Of A Slum. Spread Over 175 Hectares And Swarming With One Million People, Dharavi Is Often Called Asia S Largest Slum . But Dharavi Is Much More Than Cold Statistic. What Makes It Special Are The Extraordinary People Who Live There, Many Of Whom Have Defied Fate And An Unhelpful State To Prosper Through A Mix Of Backbreaking Work, Some Luck And A Great Deal Of Ingenuity. It Is These Men And Women Whom Journalist Kalpana Sharma Brings To Life Through A Series Of Spellbinding Stories. While Recounting Their Tales, She Also Traces The History Of Dharavi From The Days When It Was One Of The Six Great Koliwadas Or Fishing Villages To The Present Times When It, Along With Other Slums, Is Home To Almost Half Of Mumbai. Among The Colourful Characters She Presents Are Haji Shamsuddin Who Came To Mumbai And Began Life As A Rice Smuggler But Made His Fortune By Launching His Own Brand Of Peanut Brittle; The Stoic Ramjibhai Patel, A Potter, Who Represents Six Generations From Saurashtra Who Have Lived And Worked In Mumbai; And Doughty Women Like Khatija And Amina Who Helped Check Communal Passions During The 1992-93 Riots And Continue To Ensure That The Rich Social Fabric Of Dharavi Is Not Frayed. It Is Countless, Often Anonymous, Individuals Like These Who Have Helped Dharavi Grow From A Mere Swamp To A Virtual Gold Mine With Its Many Industrial Units Churning Out Quality Leather Goods, Garments And Food Products. Written With Rare Sensitivity And Empathy, Rediscovering Dharavi Is A Riveting Account Of The Triumph Of The Human Spirit Over Poverty And Want.

De-eroticizing Assault

Essays on Modesty, Honour and Power

By: Kalpana Kannabirān,Vasantha Kannabiran

Focusing on the many hegemonies that confront women and men today, the authors present fresh insights on the linkages among gender, culture and politics. Their 'concerns in politics have centred on questions of culture and representation, on power and hegemonies that find legitimacy, in globalisation, and the imperatives of anti-communal struggles'. They analyse the coalition between globalisation and fundamentalism and consider the disturbing portents for women, children, minorities and dalits. While reflecting on the increase in state repression, they also critique the way the Left revolutionary parties too restrict women's engagement.

Race, Racism and Development

Interrogating History, Discourse and Practice

By: Kalpana Wilson

Race, Racism and Development places racism and constructions of race at the centre of an exploration of the dominant discourses, structures and practices of development. Combining insights from postcolonial and race critical theory with a political economy framework, it puts forward provocative theoretical analyses of the relationships between development, race, capital, embodiment and resistance in historical and contemporary contexts. Exposing how race is central to development policies and practices relating to human rights, security, good governance, HIV/AIDS, population control, NGOs, visual representations and the role of diasporas in development, the book raises compelling questions about contemporary imperialism and the possibilities for transnational political solidarity.

Abstruse

By: Kalpana M. Naghnoor

Bangalore, India. From author Kalpana M. Naghnoor comes an exhilarating tale about a seven year old child. He grows up with adversity stalking his life and loneliness ensnaring him and yet his quiet charm capitulating, every situation to his advantage. Abstruse unfolds the life of Brij Raghavan, adopted son of Director General of Police, in Bangalore. Ever since he was abandoned by his mother Sherlin at Shanthi Vilas, the palatial abode of his father, Brij has a grouse with destiny. His fathers wife never fails to insultingly remind him of his bastard status- her game of one-upmanship rather disconcerting. His father will not let on that Brij was indeed his biological son for fear of losing standing in society. Ironically the adopted status convolutes into emotions rather promiscuous and Brij fi nds his step-sister falling in love with him. Brij follows in the footsteps of his father and joins the police force. He submerges his hurt feelings and plunges himself into work. Yet the accolades that come his way sound bitter. Brij works harder until his success at meticulous deduction and cracking of crime is coffee table conversation. Then like life was again in conduit with adversity there is a huge disastrous explosion - the mercenaries have signed in! Read to fi nd out in this uplifting tale of love, loss and the complications life brings.

A semblance of calm pervades in her relationship with her mother until Mohan arrives on the scene.

The Monochrome Madonna

By: Kalpana Swaminathan

Sitara said, with awful distinctness, ‘I think I’m going to die’. And that’s how I got stuck with the annual corpse. Half an hour later I stood in an empty flat, along with a stranger who was very recently, and very violently, dead. Rushing to Sitara’s aid, Lalli’s niece Sita is distracted by Raphael’s Sistine Madonna. Why is it monochrome? And what does it have to do with the body on the living-room floor? Such questions are hardly relevant to the police in their hunt for the murderer. But Lalli is a detective who revels in curiosities, and she thinks otherwise. A brisk thriller of deceit and intrigue, The Monochrome Madonna has Lalli at her most astute as she interprets the nuances of a murder without motive.

The Madhesi Upsurge and the Contested Idea of Nepal

By: Kalpana Jha

This book is set against the burning issue of ethnic uprisings in the Madhes region of Nepal and analyses debates on the idea of contemporary Nepal. The limited view of Nepal as a primarily hill nation with Nepali-speaking people ignores the vast ethnic and linguistic diversity of the country. It has particularly rendered stateless the Madhesi community which inhabits the plains bordering India and shares closer cultural affinity and marital ties across the border. Increasing demands for ethnic and territorial autonomy by the Madhesis suggest the need for redefining the idea of Nepal and establishing Madhesi identity as Nepali identity while at the same time addressing the deeply contested idea of regional versus social identity in the region. This book uses narratives from the Madhesi community including from prominent Madhesi analysts and activists, to define their identity as well as their aspirations in a democratic Nepal. It also provides a perspective on the internal dynamics of caste and language of this region and their possible impact on consolidating ethnic identities in Nepal.

Fertile Disorder

Spirit Possession and Its Provocation of the Modern

By: Kalpana Ram

In her innovative new book, Kalpana Ram reflects on the way spirit possession unsettles some of the foundational assumptions of modernity. What is a human subject under the varied conditions commonly associated with possession? What kind of subjectivity must already be in place to allow such a transformation to occur? How does it alter our understanding of memory and emotion if these assail us in the form of ghosts rather than as attributes of subjective experience? What does it mean to worship deities who are afflictive and capricious, yet bear an intimate relationship to justice? What is a "human" body if it can be taken over by a whole array of entities? What is agency if people can be "claimed" in this manner? What is gender if, while possessed, a woman is a woman no longer? Drawing on spirit possession among women and the rich traditions of subaltern religion in Tamil Nadu, South India, Ram concludes that the basis for constructing an alternative understanding of human agency need not rest on the usual requirements of a fully present consciousness or on the exercise of choice and planning. Instead of relegating possession, ghosts, and demons to the domain of the exotic, Ram uses spirit possession to illuminate ordinary experiences and relationships. In doing so, she uncovers fundamental instabilities that continue to haunt modern formulations of gender, human agency, and political emancipation. Fertile Disorder interrogates the modern assumptions about gender, agency, and subjectivity that underlie the social improvement projects circulating in Tamil Nadu, assumptions that directly shape people’s lives. The book pays particular attention to projects of family planning, development, reform, and emancipation. Combining ethnography with philosophical argument, Ram fashions alternatives to standard post-modernist and post-structuralist formulations. Grounded in decades of fieldwork, ambitious and wide ranging, her work is conceived as a journey that makes incursions into the unfamiliar, then returns us to the familiar. She argues that magic is not a monopoly of any one culture, historical period, or social formation but inhabits modernity—not only in the places, such as cinema and sound recording, where it is commonly looked for, but in "habit" and in aspects of everyday life that have been largely overlooked and shunned. Fertile Disorder will be of interest to a wide range of scholars in anthropology, religion, gender studies, subaltern studies, and post colonial theory.
