The Summer-That Lasted Forever
"You never know who’s waiting for you at the next turn, in the journey called life” And, it all started with two souls who belonged to two different corners of the world. An Indian boy named Sarthak and his Mexican love, and how their paths were destined to cross. It’s a journey of discovering love in the exotic setting of the Middle East, i.e. Egypt. The story is filled with adventures of exploring this distant land, where ethnic, cultural and national boundaries constantly become porous and fuse with love. But what happens when this Summer ends? Summers don’t last forever, do they? Or are they meant to be? Is distance really just a number when you are in love? Is love about one’s journey, or is it your destination? What happens when all these questions come to life?"
Religious Transactions in Colonial South India
Religious Transactions in Colonial South India locates the "making" of Protestant identities in South India within several contesting discourses. It examines evolving attitudes to translation and translation practices in the Tamil literary and sacred landscapes initiated by early missionary translations of the Bible in Tamil. Situating the Tamil Bible firmly within intersecting religious, literary, and social contexts, Hephzibah Israel offers a fresh perspective on the translated Bible as an object of cultural transfer. She focuses on conflicts in three key areas of translation - locating a sacred lexicon, the politics of language registers and "standard versions," and competing generic categories - as discursive sites within which Protestant identities have been articulated by Tamils. By widening the cultural and historical framework of the Tamil Bible, this book is the first to analyze the links connecting language use, translation practices, and caste affiliations in the articulation of Protestant identities in India.
