Violent Conjunctures in Democratic India
This study examines the political sources of violence against religious minorities in India. Focusing on Hindu organizations that have asserted dominance over religious minorities, particularly since the late 1980s, Amrita Basu questions the common assumption that Hindu-Muslim violence is inevitable.
Stilness
Arriving fourteen years after his debut collection, Feroze Varun Gandhi's second poetry offering, Stillness, is a study in elegance. The poet displays a rare maturity and confidence in allowing access into his inner world. Searchingly introspective, suffused with a strange calm, the poems are both poignant and profound. The language is sophisticated and self-restrained, the tone reflective, honest, vulnerable.A beautifully produced collection of short poems illustrated with fine photography, this is a sublime experience for poetry 'passionista' and layman alike.

Ruling Dynasties of Independent India - Volume 1
This book is written to give an overall idea of dynastic politics in India, keeping in mind that a citizen of India should know more about the politicians who are in the government and form policies and so on to take the country in the proper direction. Even if there are two related members, it is considered as dynasty and is included in this book. Wherever possible, family trees, as well as the assets of our politicians, are shown. It was natural to start with the Nehru Gandhi family, being one of the largest and longest-ruling families at the helm of all affairs. Then state wise, the families are chosen and the account is presented. As the content is extensive, the book is published in two...
Field Notes on Democracy
In “gorgeously wrought” essays, the New York Times-bestselling author of The God of Small Things takes a critical look at India’s political climate (Time Magazine). These “powerful” essays (Kirkus Reviews) examine the dark side of contemporary India, looking closely at how religious majoritarianism, cultural nationalism, and neo-fascism simmer just under the surface of a country that projects itself as the world’s largest democracy. Booker Prize winner Arundhati Roy writes about how the combination of Hindu nationalism and India’s neo-liberal economic reforms, which began their journey together in the early 1990s, are turning India into a police state. She describes the systema...
