Hardcover. Condición: As New. My son's inheritance: a secret history of lynching and blood justice in India is a provocative and disturbing examination of the history of lynching in the country. Aparna vaidik's investigation traverses several centuries and offers powerful insights into the phenomenon. She demonstrates how violence is secretly embedded in our myths, folklore, poetry, literature, and language, and is therefore invisible. She delves deep into family history to further illuminate how widespread violence is in Indian society. Framing her narrative as a message to her son, she acquaints him with his ancestors who ABET and carry out lynching as well as those who are lynched. In this way, her son embodies both the violation and the violated, much like the country in which he will come of age. She lays bare the heritage of violence bequeathed from generation to generation and disabuses us of the myth that non-violence and tolerance are the essence of Indian culture. She argues that the perpetrators of violence are not just the state, the rulers, the police or the army but all of us who, through our silence and indifference, foster and perpetuate violence in India. My son's inheritance is a ground-breaking exploration of the phenomenon of lynching and the larger culture of violence that invests the social and political fabric of the country.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. Revolutionaries on Trial is a groundbreaking new study of the infamous Lahore Conspiracy Case and its principal martyrsBhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguruwho belonged to the Hindustan Socialist Republican Army (HSRA). The trial was named after the city of Lahore where it was booked and held from 23 July 1929 onwards in Lahore Central Jail. On 7 October 1930, the judge pronounced the young men guilty of conspiring and waging a war against the British crown. Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru, whom the Indian public believed to be innocent at the time, were sentenced to be hanged and others received varying jail sentences. The history of the Lahore Trial has so far been told as one of miscarriage of justice and the colonial state's lack of commitment or failure to uphold the ideology of rule of law. However, Revolutionaries on Trial shows that this is, at best, just part of the story of one of the most important events of the struggle for Independence. To set the record straight, the book widens the scope of historical enquiry by examining the elaborate performances of four sets of actorsthe colonial state as the plaintiff, the revolutionaries as the defendants, witnesses for the prosecution, and the Indian press and public as spectatorseach with their own motivations, aspirations, and a view of the desired outcome of the trial. It further captures the extraordinary canvas of the trial which was staged not just in a courtroom but across multiple sitesoffices of the investigation officers, legislative assembly, government offices, jails, courtroom, streets, printing presses, newspaper establishments, coffee houses, meeting rooms, and universities across North India. Even as the book examines the history of the dramatic trial, it asks new questions: why did the colonial state bother to put the revolutionaries on trial despite the vast repertoire of violence at its disposal? What more was there to the revolutionaries' trial strategy other than using the process for propaganda? Is it possible to write a history of nationalism that incorporates acts of collaboration (e.g., spying, informing, perfidy, and denunciation) without the implicit moral judgment and destructive potential embodied in such acts? In what way did the trial shift the public perception about the revolutionaries, if at all? Lucidly written and grounded in impeccable scholarship, historian Aparna Vaidik brings to vivid life the people and events of a trial that left an indelible imprint on the history of nationalism and revolution in India.…
