Calling the Shots" reflects many moods and themes. Many of the poems in this book highlight personal experiences. Two things have spurred me on to write, perhaps with indignation: According to court decisions, when I was divorced in Singapore, I was allowed access to my only son, who meant the world to me and whom I had nurtured with so much love even as he was growing in my womb. Seventeen years is a long time for a mother to be separated from her only child. *After 13 years I remarried - this time to a US citizen of Indian origin. Based solely on trust, I left a comfortable life, gave up a good job, my family and friends and burnt my bridges to join him in the US. However, less than two weeks after I arrived here, the nightmare began and it became stark clear to me that there was absolutely no love or even kindness in the person I had married. Totally lost in a strange environment, finding myself all alone in a country where I had no family or friends to fall back on, I spent three weeks in a women's shelter. Some thoughts are best expressed in one's native language. I would have liked to call this book "Velluvili," meaning 'Challenge' in my native language, Malayalam. However, as "Calling the Shots" appeared to transcend language barriers, it seemed to be the better choice.

Violence against Women and Girls

Lessons from South Asia

By: Jennifer L. Solotaroff,Rohini Prabha Pande

This report documents the dynamics of violence against women in South Asia across the life cycle, from early childhood to old age. It explores the different types of violence that women may face throughout their lives, as well as the associated perpetrators (male and female), risk and protective factors for both victims and perpetrators, and interventions to address violence across all life cycle stages. The report also analyzes the societal factors that drive the primarily male — but also female — perpetrators to commit violence against women in the region. For each stage and type of violence, the report critically reviews existing research from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, supplemented by original analysis and select literature from outside the region. Policies and programs that address violence against women and girls are analyzed in order to highlight key actors and promising interventions. Finally, the report identifies critical gaps in research, program evaluations, and interventions in order to provide strategic recommendations for policy makers, civil society, and other stakeholders working to mitigate violence against women in South Asia.

Coastal Shrines and Transnational Maritime Networks across India and Southeast Asia

By: Himanshu Prabha Ray

This book breaks new ground by examining trans-oceanic connectivity through the perspective of coastal shrines and maritime cultural landscapes across the Bay of Bengal and the South China Sea. It covers a period of expanding networks and cross-cultural encounters from the 3rd century BCE to the 13th century CE. The book examines the distinctiveness of these shrines, and highlights their interconnections, and their role in social integration in South and Southeast Asia. By drawing on data from shipwreck sites, the author elaborates on the material and religious intersections and transmissions between cultures across the seas. Many of these coastal shrines survived into the colonial period when they came to be admired for their aesthetic value as ‘monuments’. As nation states of the region became independent, these shrines were often inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List on account of their Outstanding Universal Values. The book argues that in the 21st century there is a need to promote the cultural connectivity of the past as transnational heritage on UNESCO’s global platform to preserve and protect our shared heritage. The volume will be essential reading for academics and researchers of archaeology, anthropology, museum and heritage studies, history of South and Southeast Asia, religious studies, cultural studies, and Asian studies.
