She was born in one of the poorest families, with three brothers and sister. The family had been struggling to survive, where daily two square meals were a dream. One day, one young bank officer, Aninda Roy, came to her life. It didn't last long, and Aninda disappeared from her life one day. Salma was trafficked and sold like an animal several times by the human traffickers. She was bought by one big man who made her a sex slave in his house for several years. Finally, Salma met Aninda one day. Aninda set her free. They lived under one roof but in two different worlds. Salma could not reconcile herself being thought as a dirty woman. Her fate brought her to a dream city, New York, in America, with Aninda. She didn't confine herself within four walls but immersed in the ocean of learning. Aninda was her mentor, who constantly guided and inspired her. She was a changed lady when she returned back to her native village after many years. Her final journey started there. She formed hundreds of self-help groups with those ill-fated and poor women who were victims of human trafficking and social injustices and living the most distressful life. It was a war of Salma for women empowerment. Did she get success? Did she take her revenge to those human traffickers? What happened to Aninda, her savior?
Book Synopsis Rabindranath Tagore by : Patrick Colm Hogan
Download or read book Rabindranath Tagore written by Patrick Colm Hogan and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection provides a lucid introduction for those unfamiliar with Tagore's work, while simultaneously presenting importnat new scholarship and novel interpretation. Rabindranath Tagore is considered the greatest modern writer of India. He is also one of the great social and political figures in modern Indian history. After he received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1913, Tagore's reputation in the West has been based primarily on his mystical poetry. But beyond poetry, Tagore wrote novels of social realism, treating nationalism, religious intolerance, and violence. He wrote analytic works on social reform, education, and science- even engaging in a brief dialogue with Albert Einstein. Without ignoring religion and mysticism, the essays in this collection concentrate on this other Tagore. They explicate Tagore's writings in relation to its historical and literary context and, at the same time, draw out those aspects of Tagore's work that continue to bear on contemporary society.

Book excerpt: "The hero of this work is born and brought up in an underdeveloped village in southern Tamil Nadu. The story reveals itself through the eyes of the hero. The entire novel is about a series of incidents that have happened in his life. The story is set in late 1960’s when a great shift was happening in the politics of the state. The story is underpinned by the superstitious beliefs with which the villagers approach their everyday lives, for example when the hero’s friend Elamathiyan is accused of being impotent by his wife at a village panchayat, an insane decision to let the accused display his virility to a prostitute is suggested by the villagers. The other part of the story revolves around the life of the narrator’s mother and grand mother. The novel opens with a prologue that deals with a dream that is disturbing the narrator and influences his life. The rest of the story is the narrator’s description of why he gets that weird dream."

But within hours of arriving at the imposing Dunesfort House and meeting her companions in the circle, Olwen's adventure takes an unexpected turn.

After a shocking event in the circle Olwen flees across the moors to the Callanish Stones, only to find herself caught in an ancient moon rite. Will this final calling free her from her personal demons forever, or will it be the beginning of a new nightmare?
Book Synopsis Tradition and Modernity. Changing the Images of Women in Selected Fiction by Manju Kapur and Anita Nair by : Sasikala Alagiri
Download or read book Tradition and Modernity. Changing the Images of Women in Selected Fiction by Manju Kapur and Anita Nair written by Sasikala Alagiri and published by Anchor Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along with a range of socio-cultural, political and economic concerns, the focus on ‘self’ has been an inevitable assertion of writers during the last quarter of the twentieth century. Individualistic in tone, the contemporary women novelists are trying to portray realistically the predicament of modern women torn between the forces of tradition and modernity, their sense of frustration and alienation, the emotional and psychological turmoil and complexities of man-women relationships and subtleties of feminine consciousness against the persistent patriarchal social set-up. Cognizant of the evils originating from patriarchy, a positive sense of feminine identity has been recognized by them and the result is the emergence of a new woman in Indian society and its concept in the Indian English novel which has assumed a strident posture in the contemporary writings by women. The shift from submission to assertion, acquiescence to resistance and obedience to rebellion, however, has not been abrupt and effortless. Women are still in the process of negotiation with different limiting factors and thresholds of patriarchy to claim their due space and affirm their identity. The present study is an attempt to critically investigate the negotiations with cultural norms by the women characters in the selected novels by the contemporary novelists, namely Manju Kapur and Anita Nair. Almost all the women characters, major and minor, from the selected novels have been considered and positioned as per their ideological leanings and convictions under two thematic chapters namely “Women in the Clutches of Traditional Norms,” and “Tradition to Modernity.” The major issues around which the novels move – education, marriage, gendered space and mother-daughter relationships – are taken up to put them within the contemporary social conditions in which women characters live. The present book is divided into five chapters to make a critical and analytical study of the select novels of these contemporary Indian women writers in English. The present work is focused on five selected novels: Manju Kapur’s “Difficult Daughters”, “Home” and “Custody” and Anita Nair’s “Ladies Coupé” and “Mistress”.

Download or read book Hindu Women: Normative Models written by Prabhati Mukherjee and published by Orient Blackswan. This book was released on 1994 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hindu Women: Normative Models seeks to answer the contemporary question of how and why women came to lose their position in society by making an incisive study of the role of women and the position accorded to them in the religious and secular Hindu texts. The book traces the transition of women from bold, knowledgeable individuals to pliant, submissive beings. It discusses in detail how a specious idealisation of meek domesticity in the Arthashastra down to Manusmriti, though with subtle shifts in perspective, led to women s gradual loss of social position and economic rights.
