What is that one common thread which binds them together? A: The twelve women featured in this book come from diverse backgrounds. The thread that binds their stories is their resolve to change the circumstances of their lives, overcoming tremendous odds and giving wings to their dreams. They have overcome adversity, broken the fetters of tradition, discrimination and given back richly to the society they belong to.

These stories celebrate the power and creativity, imagination and idealism of women. off my radar, as it were, I would concentrate on another. Therefore, I had to switch mentally as I was going ahead. Another challenge was to avoid being too academic and trying my best to make my prose easy and interesting for the lay reader. I hope I have succeeded. Q: What is your advice to women across the nation? A: My advice to the women of India would be to make the best use of their intellectual and emotional resources to achieve their dreams. We are not competing against men. We ought to compete against ourselves. Career, education children and family life – all these can exist harmoniously, provided we work for it with love and integrity. Q: What is your inspiration behind writing this book? A: As I writer I have always struggled to convey what it is to be a woman at this point of history in this corner of the world. Then, gradually, I realized there were real stories of real women that were waiting to be narrated. I was inspired to tell stories that challenge traditional views about women’s place in society. These stories celebrate the power and creativity, imagination and idealism of women. “They are survivors and pathfinders, doers and dreamers, leaving in their wake, surging inspiration and hope” Q: Has the position of women in India’s patriarchal society changed over the years? in the sun. The government needs to involve men in gender sensitization programmes. A: India is such a vast and complex country that we can never generalize the position of women vis-à-vis patriarchy.

This informative book narrates the making of Sanyal right from his childhood to the days of the Naxalbari uprising and beyond. It goes deep into the evolution of Sanyal as a Communist rebel and throws light on the various stages of the Naxalite movement in India. Edited excerpts: B How did the book come about? He was happy with the Nandigram interview and over the next few months, a kind of trust developed between us. Before I met Sanyal, like many others, I thought it was Charu Mazumdar who had waged the Naxalite movement and Sanyal was his follower lieutenant. But after I started interacting with him, I realised that Sanyal was a political star in his own right. Then I started searching for books on his life, his journey to China and his contribution to the Naxal movement but could not find even one. Did he authorise you write the book? I was not the first journalist to approach him. He had turned down the earlier offers, saying The First Naxal that there was nothing ōSDJHV spectacular about his Paperback: ` 550 life. But he accepted 978-81-321-1787-2 my proposal when I pointed out that his story was also the story of the Naxalite movement and that after him, there would be no one to throw light on its origin, evolution, disintegration and the subsequent revival. This clicked with him because several misconceptions about Naxalism had made their way into public perception and Sanyal wanted to clear the air. There is no written authorization that I am his biographer. However, during the course of the interview, he introduced me to his family and friends. By doing so, he created a connection between them and me. They also understood that the book had Sanyal’s consent. onsent. It is unfortunate that he e did \J[ UV[ZLL[OLÄUHSWYVK\J[ Yes, that’s a pity. Seven days cide before he committed suicide (March 23, 2010), Sanyall called gress me to ask about the progress of the book.

BECOMING MINORITY: How Discourses and Policies Produce Minorities in Europe and India Edited by Jyotirmaya Tripathy Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India and Sudarsan Padmanabhan Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India Becoming Minority subjects to scrutiny some of the well-established social science concepts such as minority, ethnicity, inclusion, exclusion, and self-determination, among others. The purpose of the enquiry is neither to debunk these concepts nor to highlight their relevance/irrelevance, but merely to guard against their unselective usage by scholars. The work is an endeavor to address some of the questions that animate current scholarship on minority and minoritization. In doing so, the book draws upon European and Indian experiences of cultural diversities as these regions are two of the most culturally diverse regions in the world and engage with diversity from within a democratic framework.

And every time it has survived this morbid prophecy. This book brings together the important question of what is theatre, or rather what should be theatre, and finds the answer to its survival.

It is this magic of theatre which this book captures, through its many characters and artistes who when the curtain is drawn become ‘one’—performers.

ETHNIC WORLDS IN SELECT INDIAN FICTION Juri Dutta Centre for Assamese Studies, Tezpur University, Assam LITERATURE / GENDER STUDIES Cultural boundaries are today more porous than ever, and it is highly problematic to see the writer as either an ‘insider’ or ‘outsider’ of any ethnic community about which he/she writes. Informed by such perspectives, Ethnic Worlds in Select Indian Fiction closely looks at the chronological history of the Assamese ethnic novel within the framework of Comparative Literature. It is very rare that literary representations by and about ethnic communities in India have been compared and contrasted.

Forthcoming! DISABILITY, GENDER AND THE TRAJECTORIES OF POWER Edited by Asha Hans former Director School of Women’s Studies and Professor of Political Science, Utkal University, India Disability, Gender and The Trajectories of Power argues for the rights of women with disabilities, who live on the periphery of society, where exclusion and stigma are part of their lives. Since disability and gender intersect with categories, such as type of disability, class, caste, ethnicity and rural-urban residence, they form a heterogeneous group. Based on the voices of women with disabilities, the chapters in this volume are constructed around the vision for a culture, which is a community of equals in a just world. The aim is to argue for a society where they are not denied respect, equality and justice.

THE ROOTS OF ILL-GOVERNANCE AND CORRUPTION V Santhakumar Azim Premji University, Bangalore The Roots of Ill-Governance and Corruption provides a comprehensive assessment of the motivation behind corruption and ill-governance in countries such as India. It presents a sound theoretical structure outlining the journey through various phases of elitism, counter-elitism, competitive populism, and, finally, good governance.

NEW FRONTIERS IN ASIA–LATIN AMERICA INTEGRATION: Trade Facilitation, Production Networks, and FTAs Edited by Antoni Estevadeordal Principal Economist, Inter-American Development Bank, Masahiro Kawai Asian Development Bank Institute, Tokyo, Japan and Ganeshan Wignaraja Asian Development Bank Institute, Tokyo, Japan Economic ties between Asia and Latin America are growing as a part of a global shift toward more South–South cooperation. Yet trade costs remain high, which may impede future interregional trade and integration. Furthermore, an emerging trans-Pacific trade architecture based on free trade agreements (FTAs) carries risks of a noodle bowl effect. This book examines new frontiers in Asia–Latin America integration through interregional comparative studies in three key areas: trade facilitation, logistics, and infrastructure; production networks, supply chains, and small and medium-sized enterprises; and FTAs. The chapters contributed by Asian, Latin American, and international experts provide new insights on regional integration, impediments, and policy issues.

SAYYID AHMAD BARAILVI: His Movement and Legacy from the Pukhtun Perspective Altaf Qadir Department of History, University of Peshawar, Pakistan Sayyid Ahmad Barailvi (1786–1831), the man who first propagated and led jihad during the 19th century in the then North-West Frontier, perceived and initially led it as a purely reformist movement in northern India. Reform and jihad were intended to purify and protect the Indian Muslims from innovations and the atrocities of the British and Sikhs, respectively. Relating the history of the movement, the book takes perspectives from the immediate localities of Pukhtun region and elaborates on the reasons for the failure of the movement. It assesses the social, political, religious, and economic impact of jihad on the Pukhtun region and discusses whether Barailvi’s movement is solely responsible for the present-day jihadi mindset, as some writers try to prove it.

While the Pujas are quintessentially Bengali, Christmas is typically Anglo-Indian. And Christmas is an apt leitmotif in Robyn Andrews’ book on the Anglo-Indian community in Kolkata, as the city is now known. The book is an absorbing and educative read. Andrews does not bore the reader with pages of theory. Instead, she intersperses her analysis with evocative stories of the lives of handpicked individuals who are Anglo-Indian. Through their eyes, we begin to understand the community.

Based on rare primary and secondary materials, and oral history, this book engages with Tamil cinema at the intersection of its industrial, cultural, and socio-political history to argue for its specificity in terms of its aesthetics and its belief in the potential of the medium to mobilize audiences for ideology, politics, and reflexivity.
