Lifescapes: Telugu Short Stories in Translation,
Author: Naveen
The troubled waters of matrimony often turn out to be the most
favoured fishing site for storytellers. Here the prospects of a good
catch are always bright. Frequent outbursts of tears, frayed tempers,
memory trips - what better material could a writer ask for? Naveen
seems to find his most agreeable place inside others' anger filled
bedrooms. Half the stories in the collection are knit around bruised
man-woman relationships.

Child Labour in India,
Author: Dr. Lakshmidhar Mishra
Writing an article on an important issue is a challenging enough task
but writing a book is an even more daunting one. One has to be
objective, present all sides to the issue and above all, reflect one's
acute understanding of it. Particularly so with a sensitive issue like
child labour which is an appalling reality in India. The author seems
to have scored on most count and has been successful in putting
together a most comprehensive book, one that would be of relevance and
interest to all, be it a research , a professional in the field or a
lay person.

the ayurvedic concepts of naturopathy and in her breezy, funny and
irreverant re-telling and telling of recipes, make this book very
entertaining and educative (for those who wish to escape the rigorous
of cooking the same old vegetables).

Mother of Bliss : Anandamayi Ma (1896-1982),
Author: Lisa Lassel Hallstorm
The Bengali saint Anandamayi Ma was perceived by her devotees as being
the androgynous fusion of Shiva and Shakti and the author offers the
alternative term, "Third gender" for this woman saint. The book
studies the strength and inspiration of "Ma", drawing the narration
from the elucidation's of the disciples. A fascinating study that
moves along the Western scholarship of gendered spiritualism.

The Partha Chatterjee Omnibus: Nationalist Thought and the Colonial
World; the Nation and Its Fragments; A Possible India,
Author: Partha Chatterjee
The Omnibus reprints three of Partha Chatterjee's book, two best
selling if highly debated works on the historical experience of
nationalism in India and which have now been complemented by the
addition of A Possible India, which is a collection of essays written
at various times on contemporary politics that roughly cover the
period from the late 1970's to the early 1990's.Critics have pointed
out that a large part of Chatterjee's studies of historical
nationalism has been centered around Bengal and often only with a
critical reading of elite discourse. Placing the books side by side
though, the possibilities of reading nationalism as a derivative
discourse which is 'different' or as an inner or 'spiritual' domain
separate from the material, seem enormous. Both detractors and
admirers would agree that without these path breaking works the
critical vocabulary for studying nationalism would have been much the
poorer.

Jagadis Chandra Bose and the Indian Response to Western Science,
Author: Subrata Dasgupta
In this excellent book Dasgupta divides Bose's research career into
three distinct phases, which he calls 'the early Bose', the middle
Bose' and the 'late Bose'. In the first phase, Bose worked on the
underlying unity of radio waves and ordinary light. In the middle
phase, he worked on the underlying unity of the electrical
responsiveness of vegetable matter and animal tissue and in his final
phase , he worked on trying to establish and underlying unity in
response of plants and animals to stimuli of various sorts. In this
excellent book Bose's work in all of these stages is analysed along
with the response from Western and Indian commentators.

Gender and Politics in India: Themes in Politics,
Author: Nivedita Menon
Edited by Nivedita Menon Gender and Politics in India is part of a
series of books on 'The Themes in Politics' and makes an effort to
bring together the chief concerns in contemporary political theory and
issues pertaining to the women's movement. It is specifically
concerned with debates within the women's movement and their relation
to politics in India, and there by attempts to provide a reflection of
the needs of Indian politics and society. The editor has very aptly
put together the main issues in the women's movement as those related
to development problems, violence, health, sexuality, work,
reservations in representative institutions and the much-debated
uniform civil code.

Seventy Tales of the Parrot,
Author: Shuka Saptati
Translated from Sanskrit by A.N.D. Haksar The tales of the Shuka
Saptati are told to preserve the chastity of a woman in a promiscuous
society, where nature, man and circumstance connive to induce a woman
to forfeit her virtue. In that sense, the parrot, in reality a
Gandharva, is the custodian of a lonely woman's virtue and acts as a
voice of conscience or a ready reckoner for her sharpness of wit and
quickness of repartee. The verses are interspersed with references to
Hindu mythology, Hitopadesa, the Jataka and the tales of unfaithful
wives in the Panchatantra. A.N.D. Haksar's translation is racy and
colloquial to match the simple and direct language of the original
Sanskrit, written to cater to a wider cross-section than that of the 'Kavya'
literature. The structure of these tales of romance, adventure and
travel is like the Arabian Nights, of stories woven within stories and
interpolated into the frame-story.
