Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. 'I salute you.' - Zakia Jafri Who is Teesta Setalvad? For the Hindu Right, she is a dangerous impediment to India's onward march to 'glory.' This is the story of the real Teesta inheritor of the best and most progressive traditions of India's struggle for freedom, a ceaseless and courageous fighter for justice. In these moving memoirs, she speaks of the influence of her grandfather and father; her early career as a journalist; her coming to political maturity during the horrific violence in Mumbai after the demolition of the Babri Masjid in the winter of 1992-93; her own trajectory as an activist with fellow traveler, Javed; and, of course, her role during and after the post-Godhra violence in Gujarat. This is a stirring, inspiring tale of determination, courage, fortitude and an unshakeable commitment to constitutional principles. 'Teesta has a distinguished lineage. Her grandfather, Motilal Setalvad, was India's first Attorney General; his son Atul (Teesta's father) was a leading Senior Advocate in the Bombay High Court. Each of them gave shape to our constitutional law. But Teesta carved out a separate niche for herself as a worthy footsoldier of the Constitution.' - Fali S. Nariman 'A crusader in the cause of justice and human rights, Teesta's life is a saga of small and big battles fought by a person with firm conviction and strong determination. She has proved herself more than a match to her detractors and persecutors however high placed they may be.' - Justice P.B. Sawant 'Teesta Setalvad is a woman of courage and deep convictions. This book is a testimony to her spirit and grit.' - Mallika Sarabhai 'The Gujarat riots produced, at one end, Modi, and at another end, Teesta. The story of her life is necessary reading for those who engage with the Indian sociopolitical system.' - Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd 'The scoundrel times in which we live, where the fascists and the powerful rule supreme, hers is the voice of sanity and compassion.' - Saeed Mirza.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The assassination of Mahatma Gandhi on 30 January 1948 was a declaration of war and a statement of intent. For the forces who conspired in the killing, the act was a declaration of war against the secular, democratic Indian state and all those who stood to affirm these principles, as well as an announcement of a lasting commitment to India as a Hindu Rashtra . It was also an act to signal the elimination of all that India s national movement against imperialism stood for. Beyond Doubt is a dossier of historical and critical documents that aims to contextualize the politics, motivations and circumstances behind the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. Attempts to legitimize the act of killing and to celebrate the killers have re-doubled since May 2014, following the coming to power of the new regime in New Delhi. The time is right, therefore, to set the record straight. The visceral hatred directed against Gandhi and the denigration of everything he stood for need to be recounted if we are to understand the political nature of that dastardly act. This book attempts to weave together archival documents from Government of India records relating to developments after the assassination, with translation of works in Marathi, Gujarati and Hindi de-constructing the ideology responsible for the political killing. While several of the documents have appeared before in issues of Communalism Combat, this compilation presents new material on the subject. The first English translation of Jagan Phadnis s book, Mahatmyache Akher, forms part of the dossier, as do Y.D. Phadke s analysis of attempts to legitimize Gandhi s killing and Chunibhai Vaidya s analysis of Pradeep Dalvi s play on Godse. It also covers the recent controversy over the destruction of files relating to Gandhi s assassination by Government of India.…
