Train to Delhi

By: Shiv K Kumar

Long years ago, as India made its tryst with destiny and the soul of a nation long suppressed was torn asunder, a story of love and compassion ensued . . . Sahitya Akademi awardee Shiv K. Kumar brings us a Partition novel that will delight readers with its fast-paced and humorous storytelling. Join Gautam Mehta as he converts to Christianity to divorce his wife, falls in love with a kidnapped Muslim beauty, and revels in adventures full of midnight swigs, enamelled snuffboxes, and quiet bouts of love-making. Join our stout-hearted, quick-witted protagonist as he hobnobs with the remaining Raj-era relics and, despite being hung-over, defeats the ruddy kidnappers of his romantic, timid little thing—his adversaries have not a whiff of a chance! Shiv K. Kumar’s memorable novel takes you on a journey to the twilight of the Raj, to the pains of Partition, and to a love story that will heal the scars left in the wake of history.

Rough Passage to the Bodhi Tree

By: Shiv K Kumar

A prince once gave up everything to attain inner peace, creating the world’s most treasured and well-known coming-of-age story: Siddhartha’s journey to Enlightenment; his transformation from a mere mortal to an enlightened soul. Join Siddhartha, the ‘brooding dove’, as he wins Yashodhara’s hand in marriage, challenges his father-in-law, celebrates with wine and festivities and then, to everyone’s surprise and consternation, renounces it all. Seeking the path of the wise, he lay the noble path for us. This is the story of how an ordinary mortal came to see the light. Aged ninety-two, Shiv K. Kumar injects the wisdom of a lifetime of writing into this immortal tale, fashioning the Buddha’s story into, possibly, each of our own.

Nude before God

By: Shiv K Kumar

Ram Krishna is an artist who paints nudes. Incensed by his wife’s possible infidelity, and despite his own conjugal insecurities, he engages in an adulterous liaison. Immediately, Karma strikes: his wife’s purported lover pushes him to his death into a flooding river. Unclad of corporal existence, he hovers above earth and discovers that—apart from his parents, dog, and a few friends—no one misses him. Dejected, he encounters Yama, the Lord of Death, and begins a conversation that extinguishes his own airs and affectations, and makes him see that he may have been wrong about life . . . and his wife. Armed with a wry sense of humour, Shiv K. Kumar lays bare the questions of humanity’s inescapable end, plying us with a story of the afterlife that gives us new reasons to live and laugh.

Which of my Selves Do you wish to Speak to?

Selected Poems

By: Shiv K Kumar

Sly are the ways of temptation. Birds with grains, children with peppermints. And brunettes with bracelets. The way to catch a star Is to keep your palm open. Shiv K. Kumar, one of the major contemporary poets of modern India, was among the first to be recognized and felicitated abroad. This selection spans over three decades of his career as a poet, reflecting the development of his voice. Kumar explores, in almost involuntarily flowing words, some of the essential, often unvoiced, dilemmas of human life. His verse is elegant and spare, his imagery bold and unconventional. His restrained, almost graphic treatment of his subjects indicates polish acquired over years of honing his craft. Kumar’s themes range from the epic to the apparently incidental. He writes on loss, love and passion, adolescence and death, and also about fleeting sunsets, a wayside temple, mating peacocks, a young female jogger, a mango vendor. His magpie gaze captures images that often pass us by, but reveal something essential in his hands.

Encyclopaedia of Southeast Asia and Its Tribes

By: Shiv Shanker Tiwary,Rajeev Kumar

Southeast Asia is a region where one can find many similarities between different countries. Southeast Asia has never been in any sense an isolated or self - contained unit. Because of its crossroads situation on the map of Asia it has always been peculiarly exposed to external influences; it has been a meeting- ground of commerce, cultures civilization.
