I AM NOT A REFUGEE

By: Sudhir Malik

– It’s the looters, gangsters, and squatters who are eying someone’s house, land, or gold and not a Hindu or Muslim. For these lowly people, it is just another day of loot. It does not matter whether a Hindu killed a Muslim or a Muslim killed a Hindu. For them, it’s another field day. Unfortunately, these people were being used as bait to divide us. – Each invasion influenced the country’s culture as part of the natural evolution process, but the basic fabric never changed. It instead strengthened the Vedic philosophy, the main foundation of Hinduism. – When politicians let their followers be butchered in the hands of their opponents for the sake of chair, humanity is traded like a commodity. – Two partitioned, fractured, defeated and demoralised nations inherited scores of unresolved legacies of the past and a newborn constituency of refugees on both sides. – The Radcliffe Line chiselled not only their villages and homes but also their soles and forever etched ‘refugee’ on their foreheads. – Ammi Ji wept inconsolably when she held two gold bracelets that she had buried in her kitchen wall before leaving Mianwali eight years ago.

The Crimson Throne

The Crimson Throne

By: Sudhir Kakar

Three decades into Emperor Shah Jahan's reign, while the monarch indulges in the pleasures of the flesh to divert himself from the travails of his ageing body, the country is bracing itself for the brutal-and inevitable-war of succession to the Peacock Throne. At this time of tumult, European travellers Niccolao Manucci and Francois Bernier arrive in India, and find their way into the innermost circles of the royals. While Manucci revels in his new-found fame as miracle healer to princesses and concubines, and Bernier records his cerebral interactions with the Omrah in the imperial court, they conjure up an enthralling panorama of an empire in crisis. Little escapes their discerning eye-fabled cities now spinning into decay; harems rife with gossip, lust and venereal afflictions; wily courtiers whose hearts breed malice even as they enjoy the luxuries of privilege; the tenuous ties that bind Hindu subjects to their Muslim rulers. And, most of all, the chief contenders to the throne of Hindustan: Dara Shikoh, the charismatic heir apparent with a predilection for diverse spiritual beliefs, and his younger brother, the austere Aurangzeb, self-proclaimed defender of the true Faith. Set amid the grandeur and intrigue of seventeenth-century India, The Crimson Throne masterfully probes the continuities of imperial expansion and a splintered Islam. Eloquent, richly imagined, riveting, it reaffirms Sudhir Kakar's acclaimed craftsmanship.

The Seeker

A Novel

By: Sudhir Kakar

It is 1925 and India’s struggle for independence is in disarray, impeded by factionalism among its leaders and rising incidents of unrest across the country. Meanwhile, having withdrawn himself from active politics, Mahatma Gandhi is in an ashram immersed in what he considers the most important undertaking of his life—the creation of a community that is wholly dedicated to the highest standards of self-discipline, tolerance, and austerity. Into this world comes a young British woman named Madeline, the daughter of a British admiral. Madeline has set her heart on becoming Gandhi’s greatest disciple. Madeline’s wish to serve him soon becomes an all-consuming desire to be near him at all times. Because her adoration of the great teacher is in direct conflict with his exacting moral and spiritual codes, Gandhi struggles with wanting to distance himself from her, yet wanting not to let go of her love and friendship. Using words preserved in their letters and diaries, and drawing on the reminiscences of others, the author has created a compelling fictional narrative based on the extraordinary friendship that lasted over two decades between these two people.

The Oppressive Present

Literature and Social Consciousness in Colonial India

By: Sudhir Chandra

Marking a departure from studies on history and literature in colonial India, The Oppressive Present explores the emergence of social consciousness as a result of and in response to the colonial mediation in the late nineteenth century. In focusing on contemporary literature in Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, and Marathi, it charts an epochal change in the gradual loss of the old pre-colonial self and the configuration of a new, colonized self. It reveals that the ‘oppressive present’ of generations of subjugated Indians remains so for their freed descendants: the consciousness of those colonized generations continues to characterize the ‘modern educated Indian’. The book proposes ambivalence rather than binary categories — such as communalism and nationalism, communalism and secularism, modernity and tradition — as key to understanding the making of this consciousness. This cross-disciplinary volume will prove essential to scholars and students of modern and contemporary Indian history and society, comparative literature and post-colonial studies.

The Right to Information Act 2005

A Handbook

By: Sudhir Naib

The Indian state till recently denied information about its functioning and decision-making to its citizens, ironically, using laws made during the colonial period. Apart from being an anomaly in a democratic set-up, it created an adverse impact on the quality of governance, accountability, and transparency. It was only in 2005, after a prolonged freedom of information movement, that this situation was finally rectified. The government enacted the landmark Right to Information Act 2005, and gave to all its citizens the right to access information held by or under the control of public authorities. This Handbook is meant to serve as a practical guide to the implementation of the Act. The book begins by locating the Act in the context of a global movement for freedom of information (FOI), and discusses the efforts made by international bodies for adoption of FOI. It also presents a detailed comparative study of FOI in five countries—the US, the UK, Canada, South Africa, and India. In subsequent chapters, the book adopting a step-by-step approach, discusses the provisions of the Right to Information Act, how citizens should make use of the right to information, the comprehensive guidelines for public authorities and their obligations under the Act, which includes relevant central information commission decisions, the role of the public information officers (PIO), who are to be appointed as per the provisions in the Act by all public authorities, the exemptions allowed under the Act, and, finally, the appellate authorities to whom a citizen can appeal in case of unsatisfactory response by the PIO.

A Century and a score

By: Sudhir Alva

“There was this girl who went to Sun City, bright as sunshine, graceful and witty.” That was the first line of the Author’s poem on Aishwarya Rai, Miss World 1994 that won him the first prize in a Times Of India Contest. This was soon followed by two more poems that were published in the Times of India, one on the match-fixing controversy and the other about Diana’s ‘death in a car crash’ These three convinced the writer that he is comfortable with writing topical poetry. That’s how the idea of writing a ‘book of poems’ about the epoch-making 20th century was born, later to be nurtured and finally to fructify in the form of this book, ‘A Century and a Score’. The book is about the happenings and people of the 20th century and 20 years thereafter. It ‘races through in an easy-going, rhyming style and concisely packs information, interspersed with wit and satire. Happy reading folks!!
