The Trishanku Nation
Taking a cue from the story of Trishanku—the mythological king who aspired to reach heaven while still alive—Deepak Kumar builds a compelling narrative on the state of contemporary India. Much like Trishanku, who only succeeded in being stuck in limbo between heaven and earth, India appears to be oscillating at the crossroads of modernity and tradition; development and corruption; and diversity and communalism. The Trishanku Nation presents a provocative account of a country marked by its contradictions and seamlessly combines everyday social history with academic insights. All through its civilizational progress India has defied simple categorizations. This suppleness has been its great...
Mohan to Mahatma
Mahatma Gandhi was jailed more than ten times and altogether he spent six and half years behind bars in the prisons of India and South Africa. Once he said, “We would all profit from the kind of simplicity and solitude we find in jail.” Expressing his views about criminals and jails he wrote, “All criminals should be treated as patients and the jails should be hospitals admitting this class of patients for treatment and cure.” After reading “Mohan to Mahatma : The Role of Jails” one will come to know : § The condition prevailing in prisons of India and South Africa during the British rule. § The way Bapu spent his life in jails and the message he passed on to outside world from behind the bars. § The efforts put in by the great soul to overcome the hardship and humiliations of the jails. § Bapu’s thought of the crime, criminals and jails and how jails helped him in his great transformation from a simple man into Mahatma.

Science and the Raj, 1857-1905
This book explores the links between science, technology and the process of colonization in the context of Victorian India. It begins with a study of the concept of colonial science and then moves on to early exploratory activities in this area; problems in science administration; science education; scientific researches; and Indian responses to all these activities. Colonial scientists had a dual mandate - to serve the state and to serve science. But as the colonial arteries hardened, science became a form of official knowledge, with official hierarchies and rituals. The evolution and progress of colonial science in India reveal a pattern which can be discerned. Science had an ideology, a string of institutions, and a set of committed people to serve very specific colonial ends. The questions asked are: what were the colonial postures in science? To what extent were scientific knowledge and discourses used to achieve political and cultural goals? How did the recipient culture appropriate or redefine the metropolitan ideology of science?
