Reinventing Revolution
This study describes and analyses the new social movements that have arisen in India over the past two decades, in particular the anti-caste movement (of both the untouchables and the lower-middle castes), the women's liberation movement, the farmers' movement (centred on struggles arising out of their integration into a state-controlled capitalist market), and the environmental movements (opposition to destructive development, including resistance to big dam projects and the search for alternatives). Rooted in participant observation, it focuses on the ideologies and self-understanding of the movements themselves. The central themes of this book are the origin of movements in the socio-economic contradictions of post-independence India; their effect on political developments, in particular the disintegration of Congress hegemony; their relation to "traditional Marxist" theory and Communist practice; and their groping toward a synthesis of theory and practice that constitutes a new social vision distinct from traditional Marxism.

My Date with Editors
The book unfolds my professional performance. I have revealed my best and the worst both. It is a saga of a journalist though many would doubt whether work as proof -reader counts for journalism as it was not considered the mainstream of journalism, rather a stigma attached with the likes of me for 16 years in a row. Then there is reporting stint for 20 years which had its pitfalls and glory. Expressing views on contemporary issues has been changeable because I hold opinion and opinion does not hold me. Non-payment to my contribution to periodicals as free-lance journalist may sound grumbling, but it is pain of a pen- pusher who at last surmises that one cannot survive with free-lancing in B...

The Red Rage
“The single biggest internal security challenge ever faced by our country” is how the erstwhile Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh described the Naxalite menace. Through The Red Rage, the author tries to trace the history of Indian Naxalism since its inception in the sixties, which resulted in the death and largescale loss of human lives, exceeding 12,000, and loss of property worth millions of rupees during the last two decades. So, what is it–a peoples’ movement or a state of utter neglect on the part of the government or a revolt by the deprived lot of Adivasis and forest dwellers exploited by the Indian corporations with the active connivance of the Indian politicians and dispensation? Read for interesting details and unheard-of revelations; gauge the extent and might of the radical forces of the dominant Naxalite group–the Communist Party of India (Maoist)–a banned organisation, and what the future holds.
