Rani Laxmibai
RANI LAXMIBAI was a capable ruler, an intelligent communicator, and defender of the faith. She was sagacious when it came to her people and astute in dealing with her enemies. The widowed Queen had to repeatedly face gruelling challenges but drew strength from adversity, relying on her sense of justice, her dignity, and her magnanimity. She never surrendered to destiny, choosing instead to shape her own life. The British annexed Rani Laxmibai's kingdom, took away her political rights, and humiliated her. But she valiantly fought the foreign power and died a hero. Written after extensive research, this book portrays the making of a remarkable queen. Rani Laxmibai, the brave warrior-queen, remains a source of inspiration to us all.

Dads' Daughters
What does the first man in the life of a girl mean to her? Are fathers someone daughters fear or admire? On the other hand, do the fathers just want to be facilitators or friends? And what if in some cases the daughters simply despise them? Dads' Daughters is a collection of essays, seeking to examine this unique relationship from both the daughters' and the fathers' viewpoint. In these deeply introspective passages, there are daughters here who examine what their father meant to them, as also there are fathers who talk of their daughters and what that relationship means to them. A soul-searching collection Dads' Daughters also highlights that ultimately it is the father's belief that succeeds in empowering his daughter.
Eunoia
In this dimly lit world, among the scattered voices and meaningless chatter, Renata Pavrey’s whimsical collection invites us to glide through twilight in a park, to return from the letterbox with a much-awaited letter, to dance with fireflies, to savor the tang of orange zest, or run our fingers lovingly across the spines in a bookcase. Eunoia is a state of positivity which reflects a well balanced mind exhibiting goodwill and kindness. Engage, uplift, nurture, outshine, ignite, and astound – Eunoia is a celebration of the things we do. Pavrey offers a quotidian that is both familiar and surprising through verses that cover a range of topics from pets to plants, sports and food, and aim to bring attention to the things that light up our days, however trivial they might seem to others. The Japanese senryu and French villanelle, blank verse and acrostics, nestled alongside rhymed poetry, cinquain, limerick, ode, soliloquy, epistolary, tanka, and vers libre. Everyday topics addressed through classical verse.

On the same day and at the same time when Gandhiji was telling the refugees in Lahore, if Lahore is falling to death, you should face death with a smile, the chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh—Guruji was giving the mantra of ‘getting inspiration from King Dahir, unite and live with courage’ just 800 miles away from Gandhiji, at Hyderabad (Sindh). At a time when Congress president’s wife Sucheta Kripa...
Fathering in India
This book covers the underexplored subject of ‘fathering’ in India. It delves into the shared aspirations of men in India to nurture their children in sensitively attuned ways within the culturally prescriptive context that governs men’s roles as providers and caregivers. This work is based on over two decades of intensive research in India on how different groups construct and experience fatherhood and fathering under changing circumstances. It unmasks the heterogeneity that exists within fathering in India through conversations with fathers across diverse contexts—in privileged economic situations and those in difficult home and family circumstances, having children with disability...
