Rantings. . .Behind Her Silence
The poems in this volume are a manifestation of the poet’s rugged journey along the meandering lanes of life. The themes around which the poems revolve are mental health issues, domestic violence, toxic masculinity, body shaming, and a host of such other issues that are brushed under the carpet because of them being trivialized by society. A woman’s issues have never been a point of concern and more often than not they are silenced. This volume aims to underline those very silenced and muffled feelings that women are afraid of expressing. Through this volume, the poet aims at a flagrant exhibition of her thoughts that are unapologetic and raw. The poems are not just the reflection of her life, but also an illustration of the voices of those millions of women who prefer to remain silent because that is what they’ve been taught to do. A prosaic style of poetry has been followed that lucidly portrays the various struggles of being a woman in today’s world in an easy to read and story-like manner.

Reading Contemporary South Asian Literature
As a school of criticism, the central argument in Postcolonial studies revolves around dismantling the dominant narrative of colonial or imperial history. A colonization process not only captures the native people and culture but their lands too. Proper reading of postcolonial theory would be by understanding the epistemology of colonized environment or vice-versa. Even after decolonization the ideology of imperialism is persistent in native memory and thought. An embeddedness in native psyche not only nurtures imperialism but manifests them with the footprints of colonial masters. In postcolonial countries the discourse of social and economic justice is deeply rooted in ecology. As a conseq...

Imaginary Maps
Imaginary Maps presents three stories from noted Bengali writer Mahasweta Devi in conjunction with readings of these tales by famed cultural and literary critic, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. Weaving history, myth and current political realities, these stories explore troubling motifs in contemporary Indian life through the figures and narratives of indigenous tribes in India. At once delicate and violent, Devi's stories map the experiences of the "tribals" and tribal life under decolonization. In "The Hunt," "Douloti the Bountiful" and the deftly wrought allegory of tribal agony "Pterodactyl, Pirtha, and Puran Sahay," Ms. Devi links the specific fate of tribals in India to that of marginalized peoples everywhere. Gayatri Spivak's readings of these stories connect the necessary "power lines" within them, not only between local and international structures of power (patriarchy, nationalisms, late capitalism), but also to the university.
