Book excerpt: Even as it traverses great distances from the Himalayas to Delhi, Mumbai, Thailand, Canada and finally the West Indies, Silver Dreams silently but surely closes in on the distance between the hearts of the aging lovers Kinnary and Rana. The lively exchanges between them as Rana woos Kinnary at a retirement home bring dollops of humor and nostalgia, pathos and experience to the fore. However, with the longevity of modern marriage declining rapidly, how much chance does this second innings, that comes with its own baggage of two extended families, marital disasters and past feelings of failure, stand? With the pace of a thriller and the mellow mood of 2nd innings romance, look out for Rana and Kinnary’s definitions of love, life and romance as they draw on memory banks, set out on a global adventure and even have a brush with voodoo in this unique tale of resurrecting relationships against the odds of Hamare Tumhare.

Book Synopsis Courting Injustice by : Rajesh Talwar
Download or read book Courting Injustice written by Rajesh Talwar and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this partnership between so-called equals, which can be compared to a polyandrous marriage, the Supreme Court is the woman and Parliament and the Executive her two husbands, one more loutish that the other, depending on your point of view. In the Nirbhaya case too the gap between theory and law has been highlighted. Following the terrible episode, (and even before) there has been continual and great improvement in the substantive laws for both women as well as children who have been victims of sexual violence. And yet despite their being so much publicity on the case, the author argues that, concretely, although there has been improvement in the laws themselves, we are nowhere near better enforcement or implementation. Even after the institution of a fast track trial, and with the nation’s attention focused on it, the Nirbhaya case still dragged on and it took more than nine months for the trial court to reach a verdict. And, as the author explains there are still potentially further delays waiting at the level of the superior courts, the High Court certainly and the Supreme Court too, quite possibly. As the author goes on to show in this well argued book, a woman who is the victim of a sex related crime ‘courts injustice’ whenever she comes to a court, be she the victim of a rape, an acid attack, of sexual harassment; the mother or father of such a victim or be it even any ordinary person struggling to find justice. Our courts, particularly the Supreme Court is performing the function of a nagging wife. Time and again she pulls up the lazy, good-for-nothing husbands (read ‘failure of governance’). And what does either husband do? He goes for a walk, ignoring the wife’s anguished screams even as they follow him. If she complains too much, he tells himself, he’ll see to it that she doesn’t get the silk sari and other goodies she wants (read ‘promotions’, ‘post retirement assignments’, etc). It is only one of the ways he ensures that she doesn’t step too much out of line. All wives nag, he consoles himself. Nagging here and there is tolerable but she must make sure that he gets his meals on time (read ‘doesn’t bar him from contesting elections even if there are a dozen or more criminal cases pending against him’). Meanwhile the overzealous wife doesn’t realize that while she rails and rants against the erring ways of her husband, the dishes are piling up in the kitchen. And the maid has gone away for six months and the dishes, they are piling up (read, the arrears are accumulating)! The time has come. It cannot continue to remain ‘business as usual’. There will be justice for Nirbhaya. Our ‘brave heart’ will also bring justice and relief to all her sisters. And possibly, even to the rest of us.

Book excerpt: What do you do when the rapist is someone you know? What do you do when he has been found innocent in the eyes of the law? Rhea, Hitaishi and Amruta’s friendship has been cemented over a lifetime, but now they find themselves struggling to answer these questions together. Nearly a decade has passed since Rahul Satyabhagi, heir to the mega Satyabhagi business empire, had raped Avni Rambha, bested her in court, and gone on to become a men’s rights activist, and the who’s-who of Badrid Bay had breathed a sigh of relief that the sordid mess was over. But now a sting operation proves what many, the three friends included, had suspected all along – he’d been lying. Furious that he has been exposed, Rahul plans to sue the media as well as his long-suffering victim. Now, Rhea, Hitaishi and Amruta find themselves at a crossroad - can they carry on doing nothing? DC Virendra Dixit was among those who’d believed that the Rambha rape case had been a ‘false allegation’, but now the sting tape brings him to a case that promises to be a turning point in his career. Just as he thinks he is nearing a resolution, he finds himself at a crossroad of his own. Rhea, Hitaishi and Amruta have carved out a path that has already affected DC Dixit’s, but do their paths cross? Who is the hunter, and who is the hunted? Can a story of hard questions and difficult choices have an easy resolution?
Book Synopsis What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape by : Sohaila Abdulali
Download or read book What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape written by Sohaila Abdulali and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape is brilliant, frank, empowering, and urgently necessary. Sohaila Abdulali has created a powerful tool for examining rape culture and language on the individual, societal, and global level that everyone can benefit from reading." —Jill Soloway In the tradition of Rebecca Solnit, a beautifully written, deeply intelligent, searingly honest—and ultimately hopeful—examination of sexual assault and the global discourse on rape told through the perspective of a survivor, writer, counselor, and activist After surviving gang-rape at seventeen in Mumbai, Sohaila Abdulali was indignant about the deafening silence that followed and wrote a fiery piece about the perception of rape—and rape victims—for a women's magazine. Thirty years later, with no notice, her article reappeared and went viral in the wake of the 2012 fatal gang-rape in New Delhi, prompting her to write a New York Times op-ed about healing from rape that was widely circulated. Now, Abdulali has written What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape—a thoughtful, generous, unflinching look at rape and rape culture. Drawing on her own experience, her work with hundreds of survivors as the head of a rape crisis center in Boston, and three decades of grappling with rape as a feminist intellectual and writer, Abdulali tackles some of our thorniest questions about rape, articulating the confounding way we account for who gets raped and why—and asking how we want to raise the next generation. In interviews with survivors from around the world we hear moving personal accounts of hard-earned strength, humor, and wisdom that collectively tell the larger story of what rape means and how healing can occur. Abdulali also points to the questions we don't talk about: Is rape always a life-definining event? Is one rape worse than another? Is a world without rape possible? What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape is a book for this #MeToo and #TimesUp age that will stay with readers—men and women alike—for a long, long time.
Book Synopsis India and Its Intellectual Traditions: of Love, Advaita, Power, and Other Things by : Vinay Lal
Download or read book India and Its Intellectual Traditions: of Love, Advaita, Power, and Other Things written by Vinay Lal and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, the third volume to emerge from the enterprise known as 'The Backwaters Collective on Metaphysics and Politics', attempts to further the collective's ambition to put into question the certitudes of conventional social science discourse, decolonize the dominant knowledge frameworks, and understand how the intellectual and cultural resources of Indian civilization may be deployed to think both, about some problems in contemporary politics and culture, and to introduce greater plurality into the world of modern knowledge systems. Some of the collective's members remain deeply committed to reinitiating metaphysics into politics, and similarly, the collective's enduring interest in Narayana Guru is reflected in at least three chapters. Although engagement with Gandhi and Ambedkar is a familiar part of the Indian intellectual landscape, other chapters on offer pivot around histories of power, performative traditions, and modes of worship. Unlike the scholarship that is now the norm, organized around a distinct theme, this volume exhibits a more daring approach to India's intellectual traditions, traversing the world of Kannada intellectuals, the Kashmir Shaiva tradition, a Marathi Bhakti poet, and a contemporary Indian philosopher, as much as conceptual ideas drawn from a wide array of Indian texts and experiences.
Book Synopsis No Nation for Women by : Priyanka Dubey
Download or read book No Nation for Women written by Priyanka Dubey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Nation for Women takes a hard, close look at what makes India unsafe for its women — from custodial rapes and honour killings to rapes of minors and trafficking — the author uncovers many unpalatable truths behind what we are familiar with as newspaper headlines only... Numbers convey, in part, why India is referred to as one of the world’s rape capitals — one woman is raped every 15 minutes; and, in 50 years, there has been a staggering rise of 873 per cent in sexual crimes against girls. And beyond the numbers and statistics, there are stories, often unreported — of women in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, who are routinely raped if they spurn the advances of men; of girls from de-notified tribes in central India who have no recourse to justice if sexually violated; of victimized lower-caste girls in small-town Baduan, Uttar Pradesh; of frequent dislocation faced by survivor families in West Bengal; of political wrath turning into rape in Tripura. Priyanka Dubey travels through large swathes of India, over a period of six years, to uncover the accounts of disenfranchised women who are caught in the grip of patriarchy and violence. She asks if, after the globally reported December 2012 gang-rape of ‘Nirbhaya’ in New Delhi, India’s gender narrative has shifted — and, if it hasn’t, what needs to be done to make this a nation worthy of its women.
Download or read book Jallad written by Dheeraj Giri Nihalaney and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Criminal Justice system for outraging a woman’s modesty is a painfully slow and tedious process in India, except in some cases which get media attention like Nirbhaya’s case. But even in that particular case, a juvenile was set free after three years. Do you think that justice was done? Weren’t you all aghast when this man was set free after three years? Don’t you think that such juveniles must also have been hanged? It’s unfortunate that even today many cases involving outraging a woman’s modesty get unreported in our country, especially in small towns and villages, for the fear of social stigma. Don’t you wonder that how can we take such criminal molesters to task? Do you ever wonder that how a molester or an eve teaser can be taught such a lesson that will instil a sense of fear in their minds and hearts that they will not dare commit the same mistake again? Is there a better way to deliver justice? Can there be a better way to punish such criminals? Or is it time for “JALLAD”?

Book Synopsis The Curse of Damini by : Debajani Mohanty
Download or read book The Curse of Damini written by Debajani Mohanty and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world seemed not enough for free spirited Renuka, when she married the highly educated Shashank hailing from the mightiest Zamindars of Bengal. However, soon her life turned upside down when a neighbor revealed her of their sinister past. Its a mysterious supernatural curse cast on their family almost a century back. Generation by generation, Damini's enraged curse had passed on, declining their family clan from hundreds to a handful few. Who would be Damini's next victim? And why innocent lives are at a stake for a crime committed by an ancestor a hundred years back? Renuka would not settle until she finds an answer and in her quest she struggles to eradicate all the evils that come in her way. Would she ever win a battle against an unseen enemy? Would the wrong done to Damini be ever avenged? Set against the nostalgic era of 1940s, the story narrates the arduous journey of Renuka Pal, the protagonist, from a rash teen age freedom fighter to the seasoned writer of the 21st century India. In this thrilling saga of death, betrayal and power plays the narrative would cover a large chunk of twentieth century history. The passing of time, historical events and the changing country is so well-woven to the story that one would hardly differentiate between fact and fiction.
Book Synopsis I Am What I Am by : Ester Rani Thin Sin
Download or read book I Am What I Am written by Ester Rani Thin Sin and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book based on real events that I witnessed in my life and some observations I found during my field visit for non-academic research on women empowerment in some villages under districts of upper, middle and lower Assam of India. The day my first menstruation began, I saw my mother and grandmother crying behind the door. I thought I was going to die as the flow of blood was increasing. As days passed, I passed a certain milestone in my development, both mentally and physically. My parents, especially my mother and aunts, became more conscious over my dress up, my going out of the house, my friends, etc. I thought I was more special to them than my brother, but later when their caring grew more and more, I started feeling suffocated and a protestant mind started budding inside me. I started thinking it was a curse to be a girl when I had to sacrifice my favourite dress, my favourite place and even my favourite games and many more, after getting stuck by my elders and parents. I get so confused on the changing behaviour of the society; one side people praise us for our success and on another, the same people show us red eyes when we work hard for it, take our time to get into it. “It is not possible to change our surroundings but we may change ourselves to get adjusted to it.” This is what my grandmother and my mother did in their lives; they adjusted to the situations by bearing everything and not facing it or fighting it. By bearing silently, they made the well of offences deeper, that they might fail to come out of it even they tried. That is the reason why they cried on my first menstruation. They are not gratified to be a woman and maybe scared if I have to go through the troubles they faced in their lives, so they cared too much for me, which created so many restrictions in my life. I Am What I Am will give an overview of the struggle a female foetus getting born and living as a human. In a democratic country, why do only women have to fight to live equally? Why do we need to feel guilty even if we get victimized? Can we live as we are, as we like?
Book Synopsis After I Was Raped: The Untold Lives of Five Rape Survivors by : Urmi Bhattacheryya
Download or read book After I Was Raped: The Untold Lives of Five Rape Survivors written by Urmi Bhattacheryya and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens after rape? In After I Was Raped, we meet five individuals: a four-year-old girl, two Dalit women, an eight-month-old infant and a young professional. Through extensive interviews with them and their families and communities at large, Urmi Bhattacheryya reveals the stories of these survivors of sexual violence, as they recount how their lives and relationships have changed in the aftermath of assault. Shamed, ostracized and weighed down by guilt and depression, they continue to brave the most challenging realities. At a time when only high-profile, sensationalized cases of sexual violence provoke a public reaction and many stories go unheard, Bhattacheryya’s sensitive portrayal of the lives of these little-known survivors raises difficult but important questions about our convenient collective amnesia.
