Book excerpt: `If you?re being raped, call your perpetrator ?bhaiya? and he will stop.? Asaram Bapu, `holyman?. `Chowmein and fast food causes rapes.? ? Haryana Khap Panchayat. '(Some) Women protesting rape are dented and painted.?? Abhijit Mukherjee, The President's son. Ladies: throw away your pepper sprays. You don?t need them as long as your lips are armed with the potent word, `bhaiya?. Fire at will. Don?t eat fast food. Eating needs you to use your mouth in front of men, which is just `asking for it?. Always agree to any man?s sexual proposition ? just say, `Yes?, to everyone. Most importantly, before making any wardrobe choices do consult with the President?s son. He?s never too busy to help you out with his insightful fashion tips. OR, ignore these wise words and go out and kick men like that in the grapes and fight back. That?s what I do. This is that story. The story of Tanya Bisht, over and under Delhi.

Book excerpt: On 31 August 2008, Sister Jesme left the Congregation of Mother of Carmel. The authorities repeated attempts to have her declared insane, she says, left her no other option. This book, a first of its kind in India, is an outpouring of her experiences as a nun for thirty-three years. Spirited and fun-loving, from a good family, deeply-rooted in Catholicism, Jesme was drawn to religious life at seventeen after a Retreat at junior college. As a nun, seven years later, she felt distressed at the many ills growing inside the convent and being forced to remain silent about them. There was corruption, by way of donations for college seats; sexual relations between some priests and nuns, and between nuns; class distinctions whereby the cheduthies, or poorer and less-educated sisters, did menial jobs; and a wide gap between comforts and facilities enjoyed by the priests and nuns. Jesme was permitted to complete her doctorate in English Literature, to pursue her passion for literature, cinema and teaching college students. She exposed them to classic films, believing that aesthetics enhances spirituality. But these joys were clouded by the troubles she faced. Searing, sincere, and sensitive, Amen is a plea for a reformation of the Church and comes at a time of its growing concern about nuns and priests. It affirms Jesme’s unbroken spirit and faith in Jesus and the Church, living like a nun, but outside the Four Walls of the convent.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE DUFF COOPER MEMORIAL PRIZE | LONGLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE 'Indispensable reading on both India and the Empire' Daily Telegraph 'Brims with life, colour and complexity . . . outstanding' Evening Standard 'A compulsively readable masterpiece' Brian Urquhart, The New York Review of Books A stunning and bloody history of nineteenth-century India and the reign of the Last Mughal. In May 1857 India's flourishing capital became the centre of the bloodiest rebellion the British Empire had ever faced. Once a city of cultural brilliance and learning, Delhi was reduced to a battered, empty ruin, and its ruler – Bahadur Shah Zafar II, the last of the Great Mughals – was thrown into exile. The Siege of Delhi was the Raj's Stalingrad: a fight to the death between two powers, neither of whom could retreat. The Last Mughal tells the story of the doomed Mughal capital, its tragic destruction, and the individuals caught up in one of the most terrible upheavals in history, as an army mutiny was transformed into the largest anti-colonial uprising to take place anywhere in the world in the entire course of the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Is there any dead end on life’s highway? A moment where everything seems to pause forever. A place where life turns into a suffocating black hole making everything meaningless? Is there? Or is the dead end just an extremely real illusion? An illusion asking you to look close inside yourself and find the light that will lead you through.’ A tragic accident leaves Sharan on the crossroads of life from where darkness is all he can see. Unsure of his direction, Sharan sets on an undecided, unknown journey — partly to heal his pain, partly to run away from it. It is on this journey that he encounters his ‘Panch- mahabhuta’, his five teachers who change his life forever. Five ordinary people with extraordinary stories. Set in the beautiful landscape of Himanchal ‘Sunrise Beyond the Dead End’ is a story that will leave its readers introspecting their own lives and valuing its simple joys.

Download or read book The Indian Mutiny and the British Imagination written by Gautam Chakravarty and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gautam Chakravarty explores representations of the event which has become known in the British imagination as the 'Indian Mutiny' of 1857 in British popular fiction and historiography. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources including diaries, autobiographies and state papers, Chakravarty shows how narratives of the rebellion were inflected by the concerns of colonial policy and by the demands of imperial self-image. He goes on to discuss the wider context of British involvement in India from 1765 to the 1940s, and engages with constitutional debates, administrative measures, and the early nineteenth-century Anglo-Indian novel. Chakravarty approaches the mutiny from the perspectives of postcolonial theory as well as from historical and literary perspectives to show the extent to which the insurrection took hold of the popular imagination in both Britain and India. The book has a broad interdisciplinary appeal and will be of interest to scholars of English literature, British imperial history, modern Indian history and cultural studies.

Book excerpt: The Indian Uprising of 1857 had a profound impact on the colonial psyche, and its spectre haunted the British until the very last days of the Raj. For the past 150 years most aspects of the Uprising have been subjected to intense scrutiny by historians, yet the nature of the outbreak itself remains obscure. What was the extent of the conspiracies and plotting? How could rumours of contaminated ammunition spark a mutiny when not a single greased cartridge was ever distributed to the sepoys? Based on a careful, even-handed reassessment of the primary sources, The Great Fear of 1857 explores the existence of conspiracies during the early months of that year and presents a compelling and detailed narrative of the panics and rumours which moved Indians to take up arms. With its fresh and unsentimental approach, this book offers a radically new interpretation of one of the most controversial events in the history of British India.
