Subhadra
This is a fictional interpretation of the story of Subhadra as found in the Mahabharata and the Puranas. It has been related to the modern context through a young woman named Priyanka who lives in Gurgaon. Though separated in time and space, the two women can feel each other's joys and sorrows, and the constraints their brothers subject them to, though lovingly.Love, freedom, and several other ageless issues come together in this novel.
Colonialism and Communalism
Christhu Doss examines how the colonial construct of communalism through the fault lines of the supposed religious neutrality, the hunger for the bread of life, the establishment of exclusive village settlements for the proselytes, the rhetoric of Victorian morality, the booby-traps of modernity, and the subversion of Indian cultural heritage resulted in a radical reorientation of religious allegiance that eventually created a perpetual detachment between proselytes and the “others.” Exploring the trajectories of communalism, Doss demonstrates how the multicultural Indian society, known widely for its composite culture, and secular convictions were categorized, compartmentalized, and communalized by the racialized religious pretensions. A vital read for historians, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, and all those who are interested in religions, cultures, identity politics, and decolonization in modern India.

My Homage to All
Kanan Devi, one of the early singing stars, came into the film world in the silent era and, unlike many others, survived the transition to talkies. Reduced to working as a domestic help after the death of her father, her life took a dramatic turn when she was offered a film role and, encouraged by her uncle, took it. In this lively and candid account of her experiences (originally published in 1973 as Shobarey Aami Nomi), Kanan Devi recalls the early days of cinema in Bengal, analysing and comparing conditions of film acting in the early 1930s with what she saw about two or three decades later when she herself was a producer and director, with her own film company, Shrimati Pictures. This fascinating and unusual story offers not only a different perspective on the growth of the film industry in Bengal but also a first hand account of the position of women who came into the public sphere in the early decades of the last century. Published by Zubaan.
