Out Of StockGANDHI: His Engagement with Islam and the Arab World
Original price was: ₹595.00.₹506.00Current price is: ₹506.00.A deeply researched book on Gandhi’s views on Islam
How Gandhi viewed Islam and his legacy in the Arab World
The Arab world has witnessed, during the last decades not long ago, the ugliest and most horrifying images of extremism, violence and terrorism, fueled and reinforced by ideas and speeches of mobilization in the name of religion. These ideas and speeches incite hatred, and bloodshed, fragmenting society and putting the very foundations of civilizations at stake. If these ideas are not addressed, they will inevitably result in the establishment of a dangerous intellectual deviation, pushing the whole Arab nation to the abyss of despair, frustration, crisis and decay.
In the midst of these harsh and desperate circumstances, the author revisits Gandhi’s intellectual heritage and ponders over Mahatma’s two focal points—Gandhi’s decisive stance against any and all forms of injustice, discrimination, violence and terrorism, whether they are apparent or hidden under the guise of politics, religion, nationalism or racism; and his fair and equitable attitude on the issues relating to Arabs and Muslims, stemming from his appreciation of Islam and the persona of Prophet Mohammed. This position is apparent in support for the rights of Indian Muslims in South Africa and then in India, as well as, in his reluctant understanding and sympathy for the idea of Muslims separating from India to establish Pakistan.
The topic then continues to address Gandhi’s opposition to Zionism and his refusal to the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, a stance that boldly drew the lines of Indian policy which continue to support the overall Arab and Islamic cause.
Through these different stages in the life of Gandhi, the Author sheds some light on some of the briery and paradoxical precursors that paved the way for the separation of Muslims from India, such as the issue of the Caliphate and the apprehension of Muslims towards some of Gandhi’s stances.
Gandhi: His Engagement with Islam and the Arab World is an effort seeking to address issues faced by Islam and the Muslim countries in a Gandhian way.

Out Of StockBengal and Its Partition
Original price was: ₹595.00.₹506.00Current price is: ₹506.00.As it revisits the partition—and indeed the long road to it—this book reveals some untold
facts for a better understanding of our past, even as it holds a message for the future.
My ancestral roots are in Bengal, a region that was left bleeding by the Partition of 1947.
This is a narrative about the painful division of a beloved part of undivided India, the
partition of Bengal. I have often wondered if there can ever be closure to the Partition,
not only in the generation who lived through the experience, but also the later generations
who seem to subconsciously carry the burden of it. I wonder if we will ever be able to
finally move on, leaving this painful national legacy behind. Yet, to know the answer to it,
we must—like a time-traveller—go back into the past and look at history and historical
events as they unfolded themselves to their final tragic conclusion.
Bengal and Its Partition tells the untold story of this province’s partition. In the process,
it answers profoundly some deeply relevant questions:
Was this a tragedy waiting to happen?
Was Bengal’s partition inherent in its demographic and religious fault lines?
Or was it a man-made plot, maliciously conceived by the British; played out in Bengal
in bloody acts of violence and slaughter?
To move on, we can neither ignore nor deny the past which continues to throw a long
shadow on our future. - -15%

Annihilation of Caste : The Annotated Critical Edition
Original price was: ₹599.00.₹509.00Current price is: ₹509.00.In 1936, a Hindu reformist group invited B.R. Ambedkar to deliver their presidential address and chart a path to end the caste system. When he argued that the immorality of caste was sustained by the Vedas and Shastras, and without ‘dynamiting’ them there could be no reform, they withdrew their invitation. Ambedkar published the text on his own. Mahatma Gandhi responded to the provocation. The hatchet was never buried. This new annotated, critical edition features a comprehensive introduction by Arundhati Roy, who says ‘to ignore Gandhi while writing about Ambedkar is to do Ambedkar a disservice’. this edition generated inevitable questions regarding political representation, caste, privilege, and power in Indian society.

The First House – from the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Burnt Sugar
Original price was: ₹599.00.₹509.00Current price is: ₹509.00.‘I married my husband to live in a fairy tale … We would be like planets orbiting the sun or gods enacting their myths. Marriage was a solution, and I wanted to be dissolved.’
A woman’s husband walks into their bedroom one evening and tells her he wants a divorce. She is stunned. They have always had a happy marriage – or so she believed. In the days that follow, marooned with two young daughters in a suburb that has never quite felt like home, she begins coming apart.
As she sifts through the ruins of the life she had shared with her husband, she begins to notice the warning signs she chose not to see the first time around. She wanders deep into the forest of her own mind, where marital memories intermingle with myths of headless women and vengeful goddesses, messages hidden in the constellations and altars stained with blood. Over the course of a single summer, as two broods of cicadas prepare to emerge at once and fill the air with a plague of ecstatic transformation, she too is splitting, liquifying and reforming, stretching her new antennae towards the light.
In The First House, Avni Doshi has written a stiletto-sharp and darkly hypnotic novel about the self that survives when a marriage does not – and the long, necessary labour of breaking open into something new.

Original price was: ₹599.00.₹510.00Current price is: ₹510.00.‘I am Rani Jindan, Mother of the Khalsa. That is my identity. That is my fate.’
Daughter of the royal kennel keeper, the beautiful Jindan Kaur went on to become Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s youngest and last queen; his favourite. She became regent when her son Dalip, barely six years old, unexpectedly inherited the throne. Sharp-eyed, stubborn, passionate, and dedicated to protecting her son’s heritage, Jindan distrusted the British and fought hard to keep them from annexing Punjab. Defying tradition, she stepped out of the zenana, cast aside the veil and conducted state business in public. Addressing her Khalsa troops herself, she inspired her men in two wars against the ‘firangs’. Her power and influence were so formidable that the British, fearing an uprising, robbed the rebel queen of everything she had, including her son. She was imprisoned and exiled. But that did not crush her indomitable will.
An exquisite love story of a king and a commoner, a cautionary tale about loyalty and betrayal, and a powerful parable of the indestructible bond between mother and child, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s unforgettable novel brings alive one of the most fearless women of the nineteenth century, an inspiration for our times.

Out Of StockShadow City: A Woman Walks Kabul
Original price was: ₹599.00.₹510.00Current price is: ₹510.00.When Taran N. Khan first arrived in Kabul in the spring of 2006-five years after the Taliban government was overthrown-she found a city both familiar and unknown. Falling in with poets, archaeologists and film-makers, she begins to explore the city and, over the course of several returns, discovers a Kabul quite different from the one she had expected.
Shadow City is an account of these expeditions, a personal and meditative portrait of a city we know primarily in terms of conflict. With Khan as our guide, we move from the glitter of wedding halls to the imperilled beauty of a Buddhist monastery, slip inside a beauty salon and wander through book markets. But as these walks take us deeper into the city, it becomes clear that to talk of Kabul’s various wars in the past tense is a mistake.
Part reportage and part reflection, Shadow City is an elegiac prose map of Kabul’s hidden spaces-and the cities that we carry within us. - -20%
