Book Description
This collection pulls together a wide range of perspectives to explore the possibilities and the boundaries of the paradigm of English studies in India. It examines national identity and the legacy of colonialism through a study of comparative and multi ethnic literature, education, English language studies and the role ICT now plays in all of these fields. Contributors look at how the issue of identity can be addressed and understood through food studies, linking food, culture and identity. The volume also considers the timely and very relevant question of gender in Indian society, of the role of the woman, the family and the community in patriarchal contemporary Indian society. Through the lens of literature, culture, gender, politics, this exciting volume pulls together the threads which constitute modern Indian identity.

Book Description
In The Summer Of 1999, While The Kargil War Was Being Fought, Amitava Kumar Married A Pakistani Muslim. That Event Led To A Process Of Discovery That Made Kumar Examine The Relationship Not Only Between India And Pakistan But Also Between Hindus And Muslims Inside India. The Result Is This Fiercely Personal Essay On The Idea Of The Enemy. Written With Complete Honesty And With No Claims To Journalistic Detachment, This Book Chronicles The Complicity That Binds The Writer To The Rioter. Unlike Both The Fundamentalists And The Secularists, Kumar Finds Or Makes Utterly Human Those Whom He Opposes. More Than A Travelogue Which Takes The Reader To Wagah, Patna, Bhagalpur, Karachi, Kashmir, And Even Johannesburg, This Book, Then, Becomes A Portrait Of The People The Author Meets In These Places, People Dealing With The Consequences Of The Politics Of Faith. With A Writer'S Eye For Detail, Kumar Has Drawn A Map Of Violence. Informed More By A Traveller'S Sense Of Observation Than A Safe, Academic Moralism, Husband Of A Fanatic Refuses To Monumentalize Suffering Instead, It Presents Tragedy As Ordinary, And Hence, More Difficult To Accept Easily. In A Village Beside The Ganges Near Bhagalpur, In A Psychiatric Ward In Srinagar, In A Classroom In Ahmedabad ... Everywhere That The Author Goes, The Reader Is Compelled To Accompany Him On A Journey To The Heart Of Hatred.

Book Description
One vs All: Narendra Modi—Pariah to Paragon is all truth. Ashok Anand has dissected ages-old layers of ignorance, myths and ego with his surgical observation to let the truth breathe out of the diseased society. It shames the political class, bureaucracy and religious bigots. It unmasks an absolutely hypocrite society that clings to the past, despises change, lives in denial but notorious for hidden avarice, arrogance and lust. Each chapter of this book will unfold many bitter truths. Have ever thought why a poor tea-seller boy, today occupying the prime minister’s chair, is not corrupt, greedy and foul-mouthed like most of the others in the country? How a “Pariah” pronounced by the anti-national political forces could become a “Paragon” of values? The Indian society, howsoever ignorant and selfish maybe, needs space to evolve, grow and prosper. Would Narendra Modi be able to do that? Truth is very hard to digest. If brave enough, go ahead and read. Not a thriller. Better than a thriller. One vs. All: Narendra Modi—Pariah to Paragon takes the reader to the demonic world of Indian politics, surrounded by the intrigues of a superstitious and ignorant society that loves dwelling in the past and detests any change.
