The Pond that Shyam Lal Dug
In many parts of rural India, water is so scarce that people have to walk long distances and spend many hours collecting water for drinking, cooking, and washing. But in the remote village of Saja Pahad in Chhattisgarh, a teenage boy was determined to change this unhappy situation. The story of how he accomplished this is the stuff that legends are made of.
Joothan
Omprakash Valmiki describes his life as an untouchable, or Dalit, in the newly independent India of the 1950s. "Joothan" refers to scraps of food left on a plate, destined for the garbage or animals. India's untouchables have been forced to accept and eat joothan for centuries, and the word encapsulates the pain, humiliation, and poverty of a community forced to live at the bottom of India's social pyramid. Although untouchability was abolished in 1949, Dalits continued to face discrimination, economic deprivation, violence, and ridicule. Valmiki shares his heroic struggle to survive a preordained life of perpetual physical and mental persecution and his transformation into a speaking subject under the influence of the great Dalit political leader, B. R. Ambedkar. A document of the long-silenced and long-denied sufferings of the Dalits, Joothan is a major contribution to the archives of Dalit history and a manifesto for the revolutionary transformation of society and human consciousness.

Soft Corner
This novel narrates the evolution of unusual but still recognizable and universal passion in the heart of its protagonist Narayan who is born in a lower middle class family in a village and falls in love with music early in life. The central engagement of the novel however comes from profound pluralistic passion that is always present in Narayan's heart. His confession to the sincere passion for a few women is sure to earn condemnation from orthodox moralists. Protagonist believes that the love is not an occurrence but is an endless process. He believes that love is a four dimensional concept that demands emotional, physical, artistic, and intellectual manifestation. Novel seems to take us to higher plain of morality where the traditional codes have to be redefined and reinterpreted. The novel depicts extraordinary journey of Narayan's pluralistic passion of love that operates at intellectual, artistic, emotional and erotic levels. Much is to be deciphered from subterranean currents of narrative in the novel.
Enduring Cancer
In Enduring Cancer Dwaipayan Banerjee explores the efforts of Delhi's urban poor to create a livable life with cancer as patients and families negotiate an overextended health system unequipped to respond to the disease. Owing to long wait times, most urban poor cancer patients do not receive a diagnosis until it is too late to treat the disease effectively. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in the city's largest cancer care NGO and at India's premier public health hospital, Banerjee describes how, for these patients, a cancer diagnosis is often the latest and most serious in a long series of infrastructural failures. In the wake of these failures, Banerjee tracks how the disease then distributes itself across networks of social relations, testing these networks for strength and vulnerability. Banerjee demonstrates how living with and alongside cancer is to be newly awakened to the fragility of social ties, some already made brittle by past histories, and others that are retested for their capacity to support.
