Belonging: A Journey of Love
Original price was: ₹1,299.00.₹999.00Current price is: ₹999.00.A SURPRISING, RICHLY TOLD MEMOIR THAT SEAMLESSLY WEAVES THE PERSONAL WITH THE POLITICAL TO TELL A RIVETING STORY: OF LOVE, OF FAMILY, AND OF AN ENDLESSLY FASCINATING COUNTRY, INDIA.
How did a girl from a small village in Italy rise as a politician in India and become known around the world?
Belonging begins in Cambridge, England, where in 1965 Sonia Maino, a nineteen-year-old student, falls in love at first sight with the handsome, dark-eyed young man she’s destined to marry: Rajiv Gandhi, grandson of Jawaharlal Nehru, independent India’s first Prime Minister.
In this book, the once famously reticent Sonia Gandhi opens up with warmth and candour to tell the story of her remarkable life, from her childhood in post-war Veneto; to the romance that brings her to India; to the shattering losses that will reshape not only her own future but also that of her adopted home.
We witness Sonia’s introduction to her formidable mother-in-law, Nehru’s daughter Indira Gandhi, India’s first female Prime Minister. We see Sonia gain confidence by Rajiv’s side, as she adjusts to the sounds and sights of her new home – learning to speak Hindi, to wear saris, to relish spicy cuisine.
Rajiv Gandhi begins work as a commercial airline pilot, and they raise their two children in the Prime Minister’s house in Delhi. But everything changes when Rajiv’s brother, Sanjay, also a pilot, is killed in a crash, and when, in 1984, Indira Gandhi is brutally assassinated by her security guards in the garden of her home. In the wake of his mother’s death, and despite Sonia’s fears, Rajiv steps into the role of Prime Minister. The couple travel across India and the world. Then, through Sonia’s wrenching retelling, we feel the full force of the tragedy when seven years later Rajiv, too, is assassinated, by a suicide bomber while on the campaign trail.
Brushing aside the advice of her Italian family to return, Sonia heeds the call within her to stay in India. She is drawn into politics, becoming the longest-serving president of the Indian National Congress. We see how, though once regarded as a foreign-born outsider, she comes to earn the trust and affection of millions. Yet when after a key election, the Congress Party selects her to become Prime Minister, she makes a rare decision – declining her country’s highest office, choosing instead to lead her Party in an alliance that will govern India for a decade.
This dramatic account, at once epic and intimate, gives readers a unique lens on India – its tumultuous post-independence history and its present political struggles – offering an insider’s keen perspective on the country’s enormous political, economic and social changes over fifty years. Movingly, the book goes behind the scenes of a renowned political family. Most revelatory of all is the portrait of Sonia herself as she invites readers into her private joys and travails, as well as the people and events that shaped her. In a voice at once perceptive and modest, she shares her insights into identity, duty, and the meaning of home. Belonging is at heart one courageous woman’s story of falling in love with a man and a country, of finding the strength to remake her life and to serve India, the place where she belongs.

Out Of StockRESTLESS AS MERCURY: My Life As a Young Man Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Original price was: ₹999.00.₹849.00Current price is: ₹849.00.M. K. Gandhi’s autobiography, the story of My experiments with truth, is famously incomplete, stopping abruptly in 1920. But while he gave up writing his memoirs, Gandhi continued to speak and write about his life, family, work, colleagues, those who opposed and Venerated him, his hopes, anxieties, challenges, fasts, many jail stints, his Enthusiasms, and disappointments. When knitted together, these autobiographical observations, scattered over several pages of the collected works of Mahatma Gandhi, as well as in some works that were published in his lifetime under his gaze, make for a gripping and powerful story. ‘Restless as Mercury’, is how his only sister, raliyat, described the young Mohandas and her stunningly accurate characterization of her brother provides the title of this work, which Gopalkrishna Gandhi has reconstructed from Gandhian own words. The account is divided into six sections: book I starts with Gandhi’s birth in 1869 and focuses on his early years in Gujarat, his schooling, immediate family, and marriage to Kasturba. In book II, we see him away from his home and family in a new environment—england—where he goes to study law. He continues his commitment to vegetarianism and engages in a brief flirtation with becoming an English gentleman. He then makes a quick visit home to Rajkot before going to South Africa to practise law. There, he experiences racial prejudice and struggles to balance the demands of home and public life. In book III, we see Gandhi being drawn into two Wars in South Africa—The anglo–boer war (1899–1902) and the bambatha rebellion (1906). he sets up the ambulance Corps with other Indians, becomes politically engaged, and starts fighting for the rights of Indians in South Africa. It is during this period that he starts his journal, Indian opinion, and his first ashram in durban—the Phoenix settlement. As his ethics and values firm up, he finds himself in a battle at home with his wife, Kasturba. In book IV, as Gandhian politics come under assault by all three major sections of South African population—the ruling European, the majority African, and the minority asian—his belief in non-violent struggle becomes stronger and his idea of satyagraha comes to the fore. He begins courting imprisonment and encourages his friends, family, and fellow Indians to do so as well. In book V we see that his deep and constantly renewed bonds with the family have to reckon with his commitment to the larger cause. It is in this period that Gandhi sets up Tolstoy farm for the families of the satyagrahis. Book VI sees him leading disciplined mass movements the likes of which have not been seen before. When all the demands of the South African satyagraha are conceded, Gandhi decides the time has come for him to return to India. Accompanied by Kasturba, he leaves South Africa for India in 1914 for the great appointment with history that awaits him in the motherland. Restless as Mercury is a candid and unflinching account of the struggles, experiences, and philosophies that informed and influenced the young Mohandas. It also shows how Gandhi kept, not without Stumbling, his love of family in step with his sense of his public duties.

An Era of Darkness
Original price was: ₹899.00.₹764.00Current price is: ₹764.00.In 1930, the American historian and philosopher Will Durant wrote that Britain’s ‘conscious and deliberate bleeding of India… [was the] greatest crime in all history’. He was not the only one to denounce the rapacity and cruelty of British rule, and his assessment was not exaggerated. Almost thirty-five million Indians died because of acts of commission and omission by the British—in famines, epidemics, communal riots and wholesale slaughter like the reprisal killings after the 1857 War of Independence and the Amritsar massacre of 1919. Besides the deaths of Indians, British rule impoverished India in a manner that beggars belief. When the East India Company took control of the country, in the chaos that ensued after the collapse of the Mughal empire, India’s share of world GDP was 23 per cent. When the British left it was just above 3 per cent. The British empire in India began with the East India Company, incorporated in 1600, by royal charter of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I, to trade in silk, spices and other profitable Indian commodities. Within a century and a half, the Company had become a power to reckon with in India. In 1757, under the command of Robert Clive, Company forces defeated the ruling Nawab Siraj-ud-Daula of Bengal at Plassey, through a combination of superior artillery and even more superior chicanery. A few years later, the young and weakened Mughal emperor, Shah Alam II, was browbeaten into issuing an edict that replaced his own revenue officials with the Company’s representatives. Over the next several decades, the East India Company, backed by the British government, extended its control over most of India, ruling with a combination of extortion, double-dealing, and outright corruption backed by violence and superior force. This state of affairs continued until 1857, when large numbers of the Company’s Indian soldiers spearheaded the first major rebellion against colonial rule. After the rebels were defeated, the British Crown took over power and ruled the country ostensibly more benignly until 1947, when India won independence. In this explosive book, bestselling author Shashi Tharoor reveals with acuity, impeccable research, and trademark wit, just how disastrous British rule was for India. Besides examining the many ways in which the colonizers exploited India, ranging from the drain of national resources to Britain, the destruction of the Indian textile, steel-making and shipping industries, and the negative transformation of agriculture, he demolishes the arguments of Western and Indian apologists for Empire on the supposed benefits of British rule, including democracy and political freedom, the rule of law, and the railways. The few unarguable benefits—the English language, tea, and cricket—were never actually intended for the benefit of the colonized but introduced to serve the interests of the colonizers. Brilliantly narrated and passionately argued, An Era of Darkness will serve to correct many misconceptions about one of the most contested periods of Indian history.

The Grammar of Silence
Original price was: ₹395.00.₹335.00Current price is: ₹335.00.The Grammar of Silence is woven around the lives of three women—Dharma, Vinodhini and Mary—who dare to claim their voice and space in a society that has been designed to deny them both.
The narrative traverses five centuries of Tamil history, each era showing a society in flux, even as the women fight their individual battles to escape from the tyranny of an unyielding patriarchy. The style of storytelling is unique, with the three protagonists retaining their identities across eras.
Dharma, intellectually curious and an anomaly in the ritual-bound Brahminical world of the seventeenth century, chooses to write her own rebellious script. The beauteous Vinodhini, a courtesan in the Thanjavur Maratha palace in the eighteenth century, learns to carve out her agency even as the glamorous world of the devadasi community crumbles around her. Born to a lower-caste mother, Muthu manages to climb accidental ladders to claim unimaginable success as Dr Mary Amelia.
Although their diverse stories span five centuries, the three women share a common road in their quest for empowerment.
Seshasayee’s luminous prose remarkably chronicles the vibrant customs and traditions of Tamil land, more particularly the delta region around Thanjavur. Sweeping in scope, the novel deals with troubling themes like the perils of child marriage, the exploitation of devadasis, the struggles of the Dalit woman, and the continued objectification of women in modern India.
Intensely researched and powerful, The Grammar of Silence asks hard questions about patriarchy and celebrates feminism in its truest form.
