Soft cover. Zustand: New. At a mere four hours' notice, at 8.00 p.m., on March 24th 2020, the Indian Prime Minister Modi announced a lockdown to contain the spread of Covid-19 virus in order to jumpstart an already-crumbling healthcare system for one of the most devastating pandemics soon to envelop India. People stormed out to panic-buy ration stocks; India's migrant working classes started walking back to the villages, left hungry and desolate without homes, work and wages - a scene not very short of an apocalypse. Over two summers, India woke up to similar headlines: a shortage of hospital beds, oxygen, medicines; a languishing economy; cases rising and falling; governments green lighting Hindu religious, super spreader that compounded the second wave; misled unlocking schools, business and the social sphere, and reversed lockdowns when cases went up; underreporting of cases and deaths; lakhs dead to the virus and crores of people infected, and still counting. While the pandemic continues to rage on, notwithstanding its ebbs and flows, its real impact on society may start to be visible only much later. Over a year of tracking how the novel Coronavirus ravaged India's society, economy, politics and culture, nine of finest India's writers try and make sense of this difficult reality. The Dark Hour is a publisher's anthology of specially commissioned long-form essays that unpack two dreadful summers of the Covid-19 pandemic that wreaked havoc on the many India's within India.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. EMS Namboodiripad is not a figure from the past. He is a beacon for India's future. EMS began his public life as a Gandhian, before moving to the Nehru-led left camp in the Congress. Eventually EMS came to Communism and joined the Communist Party of India (CPI). He became a preeminent leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) after the split in the CPI. As India's first Communist Chief Minister, EMS presented new dimensions not just to the country's polity but to Communist theory and practice as well. He was a creator and interpreter of the famed 'Kerala model' of development which led the state to make remarkable achievements in sectors such as education, literacy, healthcare, land reforms, etc. Under EMS, the left showed what was possible to improve people's lives through parliamentary and other ways, even while functioning within the constraints of the capitalist system. P. Govinda Pillai first met EMS in the early 1940s, and the two remained comrades and friends till EMS's death in 1998. Himself a prominent Marxist intellectual and Communist leader, PG traces the ups and downs in EMS's political life and charts his ideological development in this engaging biography. In his writing, PG combines the analytical rigour of the historian with the passion of an activist and the warmth of a close friend of over half a century.
