Book excerpt: At the dawn of independence in India, in a small sattra in South Kamrup in Assam, the Gossains, its religious and spiritual heads, grapple with a palpable threat to their traditional authority. The sattra soaks in opium fumes, taxes challenge their ownership of land, the emerging forces of communism strike at the debilitated roots of feudal power.In The Moth-Eaten Howdah of the Tusker, Indira Goswami holds up a powerful picture of change and transition, of degeneration and decay, which finds suitable expression in the central metaphor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘She had given her husband four children, had bared her body and soul to him... why did he want to remarry? Today, what made him dress in a new silk kurta, become a bridegroom once again, and leave on elephant-back to take another woman as his wife?’ When Menoka’s dissolute husband Mohikanto takes a second wife she is devastated by the heedless manner in which he squanders her unquestioning loyalty. But after the initial anguish she finds new strength – in her womanhood when she embraces a tender but illicit relationship with a village outcast; in her role as a fiercely protective mother, and, eventually, in a compassionate humanity towards her frail and battered co-wife and needy stepchildren. The story also poignantly explores Menoka’s troubled but ultimately redemptive relationship with Indro, her firstborn son, who is unwittingly exposed to a bewildering world of adult complexities and feels compelled to leave the village.

And as the narrative moves inexorably towards its end, we see the power of the storyteller in Indira Goswami. This evocative translation by Prashant Goswami makes the novel a must read for all lovers of good fiction.

Book excerpt: The Blue-necked God (Nilakantha Braja), published in 1976, is one of Indira Goswami’s early novels and the first time that a writer highlighted the exploitation and poverty of widows, dumped in a ‘sacred’ city to eke out their days in prayer by uncaring, callous families under the guise of religious sanction and tradition. It was a book that raised many eyebrows when it was first published for this amazing narrative combined fact and fiction, autobiography and reflection in a fascinating mix as she tried to depict the confusion and the mental agony she herself experienced after the death of her husband through her character Saudamini. The physical, emotional, financial deprivation faced by the young widow has been woven into a perceptive text that drew on the author’s own research and experiences as she roamed the streets of Vrindavan and exposed, for the first time, the uglier side of the city and its traditions. ‘Indira Goswami is one of the pre-eminent literary figures in India and a woman of remarkable courage and conviction... She has also been an important voice in championing women’s causes, and has done much to highlight the plight of widows. [She] is one of those rare figures whose achievements as a writer are closely paralleled by their accomplishments as a social and political activist.’ - Amitav Ghosh Published by Zubaan.

Book excerpt: The shadow of Kamakhya is a collection of stories set in Assam. Handpicked by the author, the stories are invested with a wealth of detail which evoke a feel of the region. The themes explored, however, are wide-ranging--the pain of thwarted passion, blighted hopes, the struggle for exsistence--and they transcend the ambience with ease.

Download or read book The Bronze Sword of Thengphakhri Tehsildar written by Indira Goswami and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indira Goswami’s last work of fiction, The Bronze Sword of Thengphakhri Tehsildar is the heroic tale of a Bodo freedom fighter who was, arguably, the first woman revenue collector, a tehsildar, in British India. Set in late 19th-century Assam, the novel generated a great deal of interest when it was published. Thengphakhri is a fascinating character that the author recreated from folklore and songs and stories that she’d heard in her childhood. The image of the protagonist, galloping across the plains of Bijni kingdom in lower Assam to collect taxes for the British, is a compelling one and one that inspires awe and admiration. At a time when educated Indians, social reformers and the British government were trying to fight misogynist practices such as sati, child marriage and the purdah system, here was a woman working with the British officers, shoulder to shoulder, as a tax collector who rode a horse, wore a hat and had knee-length black hair. Indira Goswami has woven a complex tale wherein the foundations of the colonial rulers were shaken by insurgents seeking freedom across Assam just before the rise of the Indian National Congress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of 2nd half of 20th century various critical theories came into existence and every student and teacher of literature was influenced by those theories which were basically addressing the demands of other social sciences. But theoretical schools of western part of the world also inspired colonial and postcolonial reimagining. The present book employs many of those theories without being obscure or ambiguous. The book gets a wider value because the writer expresses his views, reviews, interviews and critical essays which are theory oriented. An extra value of the book is that author here also plays the role of a translator. And last but not the least the robust language plays a great job here and the domain is world literature.
