Book Description
Spread over fifteen of the country’s twenty-eight states, India’s Maoist movement is now one of the world’s biggest and most sophisticated extreme-left movements. Hardly a week passes without people dying in strikes and counter-strikes by the Maoists—interchangeably known as the Naxalites—and the police and paramilitary forces. In this brilliant and sobering examination of the ‘Other India’, Sudeep Chakravarti combines reportage, political analysis and individual case histories as he takes us to the heart of Maoist zones in the country—areas of extreme destitution, bad governance and perpetual war.

Pages : 357
Book Description
Vengeance is a Cage. Forgiveness is Freedom. In their greed to possess the deadly Halahala, the devas and the asuras have employed every dirty trick against Vikramaditya and his Council of Nine. But the humans are still standing, bloodied but unbowed. When the wily Shukracharya discovers the secret to breaking the Council’s unity and strength, he forges an unlikely alliance with his arch-enemy, Indra, to set a deceitful plan in motion. As cracks emerge between the councilors and their king, ghosts from the past threaten to ruin Vikramaditya and Kalidasa’s friendship, signaling the beginning of an eclipse that will cast a long shadow over all that Vikramaditya holds dear. And into this shadow steps Indra, bearing an old grudge – and a devastating new weapon. How much longer before the Guardians of the Halahala finally fall apart? “Flawlessly clubs fiction with Indian mythology.” —DNA SHATRUJEET NATH is the creator of the runaway national bestseller series Vikramaditya Veergatha, a four-book mytho-fantasy arc which includes The Guardians of the Halahala, The Conspiracy at Meru and The Vengeance of Indra. Described as “a new face to Indian mythology” by DNA, Shatrujeet writes for movies and web shows as well. He is also the author of The Karachi Deception, an Indo-Pak spy thriller.

Paramaanna Prapancha
Author: Veena Bhat
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1947634348
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
The meaning of the word Paramaanna Prapancha is very pious & pure. 'Param' means Supreme and 'Anna' means food, 'Prapancha' means the Universe or world. In this 'Pra' means blossom and expanse, of the five basic elements as well as life principles. So this name showcases the classic or supreme foods from all over the world’s cuisine. Food is always treated as power of God. It gives Peace to our Soul, Energy to our Body and Prosperity in our Life. During my travels through many continents & countries, I’ve seen people eat a variety of food but many amongst these were common across all these places, such as boiled fresh corn and boiled peanuts, plain bread from wheat etc. When Mother Earth does not make any distinction amongst us and has given us her best food, then why should we. This thought process has inspired me to write and present some of the best dishes from all over the world in this book.
