Download or read book Dozakhnama written by Rabisankar Bal and published by Random House India. This book was released on 2012-12-28 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dozakhnama: Conversations in Hell is an extraordinary novel, a biography of Manto and Ghalib and a history of Indian culture rolled into one. Exhumed from dust, Manto’s unpublished novel surfaces in Lucknow. Is it real or is it a fake? In this dastan, Manto and Ghalib converse, entwining their lives in shared dreams. The result is an intellectual journey that takes us into the people and events that shape us as a culture. As one writer describes it, ‘I discovered Rabisankar Bal like a torch in the darkness of the history of this subcontinent. This is the real story of two centuries of our own country.’ Rabisankar Bal’s audacious novel, told by reflections in a mirror and forged in the fires of hell, is both an oral tale and a shield against oblivion. An echo of distant screams. Inscribed by the devil’s quill, Dozakhnama is an outstanding performance of subterranean memory.

Download or read book Why Young Men written by Jamil Jivani and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world, we see an explosion of unpredictable violence committed by alienated young men. Jamil Jivani recounts his experiences working as a youth activist throughout North America and the Middle East, drawing striking parallels between ISIS recruits, gangbangers, and Neo-Nazis in the West. Having narrowly escaped a descent into crime and gang violence in his native Toronto, Jivani has devoted his life to helping other at-risk youths avoid this fate in cities across North America. After the Paris terrorist attacks of 2016, he traveled to Europe and the Middle East to assist Muslim community outreach groups focused on deterring ISIS recruitment. Why Young Men is the story of Jivani’s education as an activist on the front lines of one of today’s most dangerous and intractable problems: the explosion of violence among angry young men throughout the world. Jivani relates his personal story and describes his entrance into the community outreach movement, his work with disenfranchised people of color in North America and at-risk youth in the Middle East and Africa, and his experiences with the white working class. The reader learns along with him as he profiles a diverse array of young men and interviews those who are trying to help them, drawing parallels between these groups, refuting the popular belief that they are radically different from each other, and offering concrete steps toward countering this global trend.

This book was released on 2024-03-18 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an analytical investigation into the works of renowned story writers Ismat Chughtai and Alice Munro. Both of the writers are known for their feminist perspectives and portrayal of the complexities of women's lives. The book aims to examine the gender issues depicted in their works and offers a fresh perspective on these themes. By studying the synchronic (current) and diachronic (historical) debates about gender and its realities, the book seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the complex nature of gender, moving beyond simplistic or generic interpretations and aims to bring these discussions out of the realm of generic discourse. The agenda of the book is to make upcoming scholars aware to advocate for a more inclusive approach to addressing gender issues in academic work and thought processes. The book aims to highlight the importance of not solely focusing on women's issues, as this can lead to a biased or sexist perspective. Instead, it promotes acknowledging, communicating, empathizing with, and granting representation to issues faced by men and people of other genders as well, in order to create a more inclusive and balanced discourse on gender-related topics.

Book Synopsis Writing the Postcolonial Nation: Contemporary Indian Voices in English by : Dr. Priyanka Singla
Download or read book Writing the Postcolonial Nation: Contemporary Indian Voices in English written by Dr. Priyanka Singla and published by kitab writing publication. This book was released on 2024-04-12 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the literature of India has seen a remarkable resurgence with writers exploring diverse themes and narratives that reflect the complexity of the postcolonial experience. This edited volume, "Writing the Postcolonial Nation: Contemporary Indian Voices in English", brings together a collection of essays that delve into the portrayal of postcolonial features in the works of contemporary Indian writers. In the realm of literature, the impact of colonialism on the cultural and social fabric of a nation is a topic that has garnered much attention and debate. The echoes of colonial rule reverberate through the works of contemporary Indian writers in English, as they grapple with the legacy of imperialism and its lasting effects on their identities and narratives. This edited volume delves into the portrayal of postcolonial features in the works of these authors, exploring how they navigate and negotiate the complexities of a postcolonial world. The essays in this collection offer a multi-faceted analysis of contemporary Indian writing in English, examining the various ways in which writers engage with and subvert colonial discourse. From reimagining historical events to challenging traditional power structures, these authors use their stories to reclaim and redefine their cultural identities in a postcolonial context. Through a lens of postcolonial theory, the contributors to this volume shed light on how Indian writers in English interrogate the legacies of colonialism and envision new possibilities for a decolonized future. One of the central themes explored in this book is the notion of hybridity, a concept that reflects the blending of multiple cultural influences and identities. Indian writers in English often navigate this space of hybridity, drawing from both indigenous traditions and Western literary forms to create works that are uniquely Indian yet globally resonant. By embracing their diverse cultural heritage, these authors challenge essentialist notions of identity and offer a nuanced understanding of postcolonial experience. Another key focus of this volume is the concept of agency, as seen through the portrayal of marginalized voices and perspectives in contemporary Indian literature. Through the lens of post colonialism, the contributors to this volume analyze how writers empower themselves and their communities through storytelling, reclaiming their narratives from the confines of colonial discourse. By centering the voices of the marginalized and dispossessed, these authors challenge the dominant narratives of power and privilege and offer a counter-narrative that speaks truth to power. As editors of this volume, we hope to contribute to the ongoing conversation surrounding post colonialism and contemporary Indian literature in English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this third volume of his "Adventures in Spirituality" trilogy, Dr. Robert Vande Kappelle travels from Amsterdam to Cairo in search of his cultural and spiritual roots, inviting readers to join him in exploring fabled places across the Mediterranean World. Despite the grave problems centered in this region, it is the birthplace of Western civilization and the source of the world's three guiding religions. Readers unfamiliar with the emergence and development of Western civilization will find Into Thin Places a compelling introduction; others will discover here a new perspective.Affirming the human quest for adventure, meaning, and wholeness, Professor Vande Kappelle beckons adventurers to enjoy the wonderful experiences described in the book's "travel entries." Those seeking historical and cultural perspective will want to examine the numerous "explanatory entries" scattered throughout the narrative. These vignettes expand and deepen the storyline, piquing curiosity about seminal events, persons, and places that helped shape Western sensibility.As Dr. Vande Kappelle points out in his closing chapter, our world is in a state of crisis, precipitated by numerous factors but primarily by the loss of the sacred. "Whether the current crisis is curable is debatable, but it will clearly require massive cultural reorientation. More importantly, it will require a transformation of the human spirit and a commitment of will." Into Thin Places encourages readers to find "thin places"--places transparent to the divine--in their own transformative journeys of discovery.
