Soft cover. Condición: New. Celebrated as the naked ascetic and mad poet, Sarmad, who lived in the seventeenth century, is revered as one the world's most unorthodox Sufis. Originally from a Jewish trader's family from the Armenian region of modern-day Iran, Sarmad adopted Islamic mysticism after arriving in India during the Mughal Emperor Shahjehan's reign. He embraced spirituality entirely and gave up all his worldly possessionseven his clothes. In India, Sarmad fell deeply in love with Abhaichand, a Hindu boy, after hearing him recite poetry at a mehfil. Abhaichand became Sarmad's disciple, and together the duo preached the Sufi's spiritual beliefsthe former singing his murshid's exquisite rubayis (quatrains). Despite his unconventional views, many became Sarmad's followers, renowned among them, Shahjehan's son, Prince Dara Shikoh. Even today, devotees flock to Sarmad's grave in old Delhi, and his rubayis are also read, centuries after the Sufi Pir was beheaded for blasphemy under Aurangzeb's rule. This book is a selection of seventy of Sarmad's finest rubayis that speak against conformist religious dogma and for universal love and surrender to the One Divine. Together, the rubayis constitute a true representation of the Ganga- Jamuni Tehzeebthe syncretic culture of the Indian subcontinent. Each rubayi appears in three different languagesthe original Farsi, an Urdu translation by Balmukund Arsh Malsiyani, a Punjabi-Urdu poet, and an elegant English version by Syeda Hameed and Reyaz Ahmad. Crowning these is a masterful translation of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's illuminating biographical essay on Sarmad, which analyses this great Sufi's liberal ideals and radical mystical thought.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. Nirmal Chandra Mattoo has lived in Port Blair, in the Andamans, for thirty years. An acknowledged expert on the tribes of the islands, particularly the Jarawas and the Sentinelese, he now runs a souvenir shop selling fake tribal artifacts to unsuspecting tourists. In the shop, he hides dark secrets and a long history with the people of the islands. One day, an American missionary appears in Mattoo's shop and seeks his help to visit North Sentinel Island, where he hopes to bring the Sentinelese tribals to Jesus. Mattoo agrees, but also has deep misgivings, because the Sentinelese are among the last uncontacted people on earth; their stone-age civilization has survived in complete isolation for thousands of years, and their hostility has made their island a zone forbidden to outsiders. Undeterred, the missionary sets off on his mission, and Mattoo, as his guide, finds himself embroiled in a situation from which there can be no escape, as the fate of the Sentinelese, his own fate, and that of the Indian State all come together in a catastrophic denouement. Island is a searing examination of nationhood, citizenship, the lot of those who live on the margins, and what it means to be Indian today.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. K.A. Abbas gave me my first film, Saat Hindustani. I called him Mamujaan. The book is a deep, incisive look at the gold and silver world of cinema. The sheen wears off but the spirit lives on. K.A. Abbas Trust keeps Abbas Saheb's unrelenting spirit effervescent' AMITABH BACHCHAN 'An interesting read' SHABANA AZMI 'A must read for film lovers' RANDHIR KAPOOR Sone Chandi ke Buth is a collection of writings on cinema that includes the observations, thoughts and reflections of Khwaja Ahmad Abbas. Originally written in Urdu by the well-known journalist, screenwriter and film-maker, it has now been translated for the first time into English. The book is a collection of short stories, essays and articles on famous film personalities and varied aspects of the film industry. Abbas was a prolific writer who published seventy-four books in his seventy-three years, besides writing extensively on the film industry for the Bombay Chronicle newspaper. Sone Chandi Ke Buth, published a year before he passed away, was his last book-a final word on the glitz, glamour and gritty reality of the Hindi film world. It includes his candid observations on famous actors, writers and directors such as Raj Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Dilip Kumar, Satyajit Ray, Meena Kumari, Balraj Sahni and V. Shantaram. A series of essay focuses on various aspects of cinema, from the changes in the film industry to the power of film stars. The book also includes short stories set in the context of the film industry, some having veiled references to actual film stars. A common thread running through them all is his emphasis on making socially relevant films rather than those that succumb to the pull of glamour and the box office. This book also presents a section of his writings as a film journalist for the Bombay Chronicle. His column, 'The Last Page', one of the longest running in Indian journalism, began in 1935, and moved to the Blitz after the Chronicle's closure, where it continued until his death in 1987. They complement the writings in Sone Chandi Ke Buth and are invaluable for cinema lovers. Abbas's matter-of-fact style and the didactic element in his prose illustrate the humanistic ideals that were at the very core of his thought. His writing, both humorous and incisive, is like a laser that pierces right to the heart of the matter.…
