Soft cover. Zustand: New. Imaan entered Central Jail as an infantin the arms of Zahura Bibi, his mother, who was charged with the murder of his father and who died when he was six. He left twenty years later, having spent his time thus far shuttling between a juvenile home and prison. With no home to return to, Imaan ends up at the Jadavpur railway station, becoming a ragpicker on the advice of a consummate pickpocket. The folk of the railsiderickshaw-pullers, scrap dealers, tea-stall owners, those who sell corpses for a little bit of moneywelcome him into their fold, but the world of the free still baffles him. Life on the platform is disillusioning, and far more frightening than the jail he knew so well. This free world too is a prison, like the one he came from, only disconcertingly large. But no one went hungry in jail. And everyone had a roof over their heads. Unable to cope in this odd world, Imaan wishes to return to the security of a prison cell. He is told that, while there is only one door out of prison, there are a thousand through which to return. Imaanwhose name means honesty, conscienceis he up to the task? Written in Manoranjan Byapari's inimitable style, where irony and wry humour are never too far from bitter truths, this new novel is a searing exploration of the lives of the faceless millions who get by in our towns and cities, making it through one day at a time.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The first part of Byapari s extraordinary trilogy of novels begins in East Pakistan. It tells the story of little Jibon, who arrives at a refugee camp in West Bengal as an infant in the arms of his Dalit parents escaping from the Muslim-majority nation. Deprived of the customary sweetness of a few drops of honey at birth, he grows up perpetually hungry for hot rice in the camp where the treatment meted out to dispossessed families like his is deplorable. Jibon runs away when he s barely thirteen to Calcutta because he s heard that money flies in the air in the big city. His wildly innocent imagination makes him believe that he can go out into the world, find work and bring back food for his starving siblings and clothes for his mother whose only sari is in tatters. And once he leaves home, through the travels of this starving, bewildered but gritty boy, we witness a newly independent India as it grapples with communalism and grave disparities of all kinds. We have seen boys like Jibon hanging from the open doors of train carriages, loafing about on station platforms, washing dishes at roadside dhabas, peering at you through your car windows at traffic signals. In this deeply affecting novel, you see a Chandal, Namasudra boy in all these places. You are exposed to his fears, his grit, his spirit for survival all through Byapari s inimitable gaze. This is a work of great brilliance and beauty.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. In 1954, in the small town of Silvassa, wind blows through desolate streets. Doors are bolted for the first time, windows shuttered. The town is silent, except for the soft, persistent patter of August rain. The only movement is that of a group of outsiders, gathering stealthily around the barricaded Silvassa police post, their faces grim. A man raises his hand to signal the othersit is time. Uprising chronicles a remarkable, yet overlooked chapter of Indian independence. A few years after the country was formally independent, ordinary Indian civilians rose up against the colonial stragglers entrenched in the villages of Dadra and Nagar Havelithe Portuguese. With Nehru's characteristic refusal to test nascent diplomatic bonds, it's a few brave men and women who take matters into their own hands. It isn't easythe Portuguese are armed to the teeth, outnumber them heavily and have no patience for Gandhian strategies of peaceful resistance. But for the people who put their lives on hold to become part of this extraordinary struggle, it's not about what's easy or hard. It's about doing what's right. And in this case, that means ousting the foreigners lingering in their landoutsiders who continue to extort hapless locals, and are untouchable despite imposing punishing oppression. Through interviews with descendants of the participants (and a handful of participants themselves), newspaper archival records, letters and diary entries, Neelesh Kulkarni painstakingly puts together the pieces of this little-known story. A story of the solidarity, resilience and fearlessness; a testament of people who defy tyrannyand make history in the process.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 'Writing was my truth, my god, my everything. I could not leave it for anything.' With these words, Manoranjan Byapari points to how writing is as important to him as breathing. How I Became a Writer: An Autobiography of a Dalit is the translation of the second volume of his remarkable life story Itibritte Chandal Jivan. In this volume, translated for the first time into English with great sensitivity, the author talks of his life in Kolkata after leaving the Chhattisgarh Mukti Morcha. He takes up the post of a cook at a school, which provides work, albeit gruelling. Part I, School Shenanigans, describes how he carried out his duties, while being treated contemptuously because he is a Dalit, and became more determined to forge a new identity as a writer. Part II, The Right to Write, reveals how his persistence gradually resulted in his works being published in little magazines and, later, by mainstream publishers and how his fame slowly spread with television interviews and prestigious awards. He discusses Dalit writings, Dalit literary organizations and whether he is a 'Dalit writer'. His forthright observations on society and governance provide many insights.…
