    "Let a thousand verses bloom. Anthems of Resistance is about the iconoclastic tradition of poetry nurtured by Ali Sardar Jafri, Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Javed Akhtar, Fehmida Riyaz and all those who have been part of the progressive writers'' movement in the Indian subcontinent. It documents the rise of the Progressive Writers'' Association, its period of ascendancy, its crucial role in the struggle for independence, and its unflagging spirit of resistance against injustice. In the process, the book highlights various aspects of the PWA''s aesthetics and politics such as its internationalist ethos, its romance with modernity, its engagement with feminism, its relationship to Hindi cinema and film lyrics, and the vision of a radically new world which its members articulated with passion. Part history, part literary analysis, part poetic translation, and part unabashed celebration of the PWA era, this book is truly a unique resource.This is a lucidly written account of a glorious chapter in the history of Indian literature. The powerful verses of the PWA poets are wonderfully translated and, along with the highly accessible transliteration, offer the general reader a rare opportunity to appreciate the writings that helped shape a nation. Anthems of Resistance is truly an inspiring and pleasurable read."- Professor Mushirul Hasan, Vice Chancellor, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi"Such a gift from the Brothers Mir! Lyrical and thoughtful, this introduction to the vast swathe of progressive Urdu poetry belongs on all our shelves, and in all our hearts. It is a companion worthy of the poetry itself. A singular achievement."- Professor Vijay Prashad, Director of International Studies, Trinity College, Connecticut, US"Like the many poets they celebrate, the authors write with passion and conviction ... Their book makes for a joyous and exhilarating read."-Professor C.M. Naim, Professor Emeritus,University of Chicago

    by Ullekh Np
    £12.99

    ''War Room stands out as an example of real field work and rigorous research... Anyone who wants to understand how decisions are made in India should read this brilliant study of the BJP.''-Dr. Walter K. Andersen, Author of The Brotherhood in Saffron: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Hindu Revivalism''Ullekh NP has crafted a well-researched and gripping narrative of how the BJP seized the moment in 2014. Its penetrating analysis of the personalities, politics and methods of Modi and Amit Shah makes it a useful resource for answering the major question of India''s near-term political future: Will the BJP in the Modi era realize its ambition of building 2014 to emerge as the dominant party nationwide?''-Sumantra Bose, Professor of International and Comparative Politics, London School of Economics, Author of Transforming India: Challenges to the World''s largest Democracy''Ullekh NP tells the story of Narendra Modi''s campaign to lead the world''s largest democracy. A man "destined to reign on his own terms", Modi knew that being resilient was more important than being first and fast. Years after War Room is published, people will refer to it as the book that told the story of India''s most spectacular election in May 2014 in all its subtle and magnificent details.''-Chitra Subramaniam, Award-winning Journalist and Author

  • by Thomas Weber
    £12.99

    ''Meeting the Mahatma'' was a special moment for most of the people who captured it later in memorable prose. Gandhi at First Sight is a collection of such heartfelt moments of people from Sarojini Naidu to Katherine Mayo and from Romain Rolland to Charlie Chaplin, of an experience that was profound and sometimes even life-changing.''In Gandhi at First Sight, Tom Weber has executed a simple yet brilliant concept with a masterly touch, an impressive understanding of the varied individuals whose first impressions of Gandhi he has included, and an enriching introduction.'' -Rajmohan Gandhi''Weber... shows with an astonishing array of first meeting accounts precisely how Gandhi forged relationships from the beginning by making indelible initial impressions. This book... brings us incomparably closer to comprehending Gandhi''s extraordinary personal power.'' -Dennis Dalton, Columbia University, New York''Thomas Weber brings to life the memories of meetings. These firstperson, autobiographical accounts provide glimpses of the private world of friendship, of being a disciple and a pathfinder.'' -Tridip Suhrud, Director, Sabarmati Ashram Preservation Memorial Trust''With Gandhi gone two-thirds of a century, we have been in danger of losing touch with a man who was the most intriguing figure of his time. Now, however, we have these unique accounts of encounters with him that allow Gandhi to reach across the decades with a message that endures through time.'' -Charles DiSalvo, West Virginia University, West Virginia
