Dil Das was a poor farmer—an untouchable—living near Mussoorie, a colonial hill station in the Himalayas. As a boy he became acquainted with a number of American missionary children attending a boarding school in town and, over the years, developed close friendships with them and, eventually, with their sons. The basis for these friendships was a common passion for hunting. This passion and the friendships it made possible came to dominate Dil Das's life. When Joseph S. Alter, one of the boys who had hunted with Dil Das, became an adult and a scholar, he set out to write the life history of Dil Das as a way of exploring Garhwali peasant culture. But Alter found his friend uninterested in...
What happens when ancient powers somehow find a way to return to the Earthly realm, and reassert their control over the modern world to reclaim their rule? Many powerful Asura from Ramayana and Mahabharata era were either killed or banished by reincarnations of Lord Vishnu to protect Dharma and preserve the divine balance. The battle between Sur (Devta) and Asur began with creation of the Universe and has since continued in various yugas, on varied scales, under different names. But in Kalyuga, for the first time, the Asur clan discovers a way to resurrect and comes face to face with ‘modern civilization’. History, often written by the victor, does not care to accurately capture the pers...

The Thar Desert, which is today divided by an international boundary, has historically been a frontier region connecting Punjab, Multan, Sindh, Gujarat and Rajasthan. This book looks at the Desert as an historical region shaped through the mobility of its inhabitants - warriors, pastoralists, traders, ascetics and bards, often in overlapping capacities. It challenges the frames of Mughal-Rajput relationships generally employed to explore the histories of the Thar, arguing that Rajputana remains an inadequate category to explore polities located in this frontier region, where along with Rajputs, a range of groups, such as Charans, Bhils, Meenas, Soomras and Pathans controlled circulation, and with whom the Rajput states had to constantly negotiate. Sifting through a wide range of Rajasthani written and oral narratives, travelogues of British administrators, and vernacular as well as English records, the book explores long-term relationships between mobility, martiality, memory and identity in the desert expanses of the Thar.
It would not be completely wrong to say that a person is not satisfied despite getting everything. A person can be satisfied only when he is happy in whatever he has it means he does not want more. Similarly, the Co-authors of the book have tried to explain satisfaction through their contents. The title of the book has been given in the name of compiler Trapti Gupta and this book has been dedicated to her. The book has been composed & focusing on the meaning of her name. We hope that the readers will definitely like this book.
