India's struggle for independence — India's struggle for independence

₹320

This is the first major study to examine every one of the varied strands of the epic struggle individually and collectively and present it in a new and coherent narrative and analytical framework. Basing themselves on oral and other primary sources and years of research, the authors take the reader through every step of the independence struggle from the abortive Revolt of 1857 to the final victory of 1947. More important while incorporating existing historiographical advances, the book evolves a new and lucid view of the history of the period which will endure.

The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace — The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace

₹370 ~~₹800~~

54% off

Pointing to the horizon where the sea and sky are joined, he says, 'It is only an illusion because they can't really meet, but isn't it beautiful, this union which isn't really there.' - SAADAT HASAN MANTOSometime in 2016, a series of dialogues took place which set out to find a meeting ground, even if only an illusion, between A.S. Dulat and Asad Durrani. One was a former chief of RAW, India's external intelligence agency, the other of ISI, its Pakistani counterpart. As they could not meet in their home countries, the conversations, guided by journalist Aditya Sinha, took place in cities like Istanbul, Bangkok and Kathmandu. On the table were subjects that have long haunted South Asia, flashpoints that take lives regularly. It was in all ways a deep dive into the politics of the subcontinent, as seen through the eyes of two spymasters. Among the subjects: Kashmir, and a missed opportunity for peace; Hafiz Saeed and 26/11; Kulbhushan Jadhav; surgical strikes; the deal for Osama bin Laden; how the US and Russia feature in the India-Pakistan relationship; and how terror undermines the two countries' attempts at talks. When the project was first mooted, General Durrani laughed and said nobody would believe it even if it was written as fiction. At a time of fraught relations, this unlikely dialogue between two former spy chiefs from opposite sides-a project that is the first of its kind-may well provide some answers.

In Search of Freedom by Sagari Chhabra : Must-Read Memoir — In Search of Freedom by Sagari Chhabra : Must-Read Memoir

₹349 ~~₹499~~

30% off

9 August 1942: a group of women raised the tricolour inside the Lahore Women's Jail, but this act of heroism went unrecorded. Inspired by ordinary people doing extraordinary acts of courage, Sagari Chhabra journeyed across India, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Burma, seeking out men and women of the INA - forgotten freedom fighters of India, joined for a time in a universal human quest. In Search of Freedom is an account of how the story of India's independence marginalizes people who do not 'officially' belong to independent India. This include the brave hearts of the Rani of Jhansi Regiment, the world's first all-woman military wing which had women from the Indian subcontinent and South-East Asia who had never been to India, many of whom, after the army disbanded, went back to their 'regular' lives. It also chronicles the many quiet acts of courage that don't feature in history textbooks, but without which the history of this land would have been different. It asks important questions: Why did these freedom fighters remain silent? Why were they not recognized and honoured? Why did they not receive even the paltry pension that is the due of freedom fighters? Personal and political, historical and contemporary, this in an invaluable account of India's unknown and unacknowledged freedom fighters, of what it meant to fight for the freedom of the country and yet remain largely in oblivion. It is also an insightful narrative of the contemporary situation in India and South-East Asia, particularly what it is like to live in Burma under the military regime.

The Great Derangement by Amitav Ghosh Must-Read Climate Book — The Great Derangement by Amitav Ghosh Must-Read Climate Book

₹349 ~~₹399~~

13% off

Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability—at the level of literature, history, and politics—to grasp the scale and violence of climate change.The extreme nature of today’s climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly resistant to contemporary modes of thinking and imagining. This is particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable for the novel; they are automatically consigned to other genres. In the writing of history, too, the climate crisis has sometimes led to gross simplifications; Ghosh shows that the history of the carbon economy is a tangled global story with many contradictory and counterintuitive elements.Ghosh ends by suggesting that politics, much like literature, has become a matter of personal moral reckoning rather than an arena of collective action. But to limit fiction and politics to individual moral adventure comes at a great cost. The climate crisis asks us to imagine other forms of human existence—a task to which fiction, Ghosh argues, is the best suited of all cultural forms. His book serves as a great writer’s summons to confront the most urgent task of our time.
