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.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - '[Syeda Hameed] has spent her life working for the poorest, forwomen and for secularism. I witnessed her work for ten years asMember, Planning Commission. Her story opens new vistas and anew vision for all who read it.'-Dr Manmohan Singh'This is more than a memoir. This is history. Not as chronology, notas pedagogy, not as apology but as a soul's life-story drawn by thewing-flaps of bitter-sweet recall on the skies of truth-telling.'- Gopalkrishna GandhiSyeda Hameed was nine years old when her first story was published inShankar's Weekly in 1951. It was the start of a prolific writing career that wouldinclude the translation and editing of four volumes of Maulana Abul KalamAzad's works, and translations of Hali, Ghalib, Faiz and Sarmad Shaheed.But the story, 'You Have to Learn to Make Friends', also held within it theseeds of much that was to define her life in years to come. Born of an incidentwhen she was boycotted by the neighbourhood children because her namewas 'Syeda', it made her aware of her Muslim identity for the first time and,in time, of the need for peace between Hindus and Muslims, Indians andPakistanis. To this end, she went year after year with iconic journalist KuldipNayar and others to the Wagah border to light a candle on the stroke ofmidnight on August 14/15, and in 2000, took a 'bus of peace' to Lahore, andmet women who, like their sisters from 'the other side', yearned to forgebonds of friendship.Before this, returning to India after 17 years in Canada with her husband, SyedMohammad Abdul Hameed-a marriage of both happiness and heartache-she had built her life around the fight for human rights. As a Member of theNational Commission for Women and, later, the Planning Commission, shetravelled across the country listening to the dispossessed, and taking up theircauses-among them, Sajoni Kisku, a Santhal woman who was beaten andtortured for the 'sin' of picking up the plough when her drunken husbandcould not; 19-year-old Maimun from Nuh who was gang-raped for marryingoutside her gotra; and Tang Kumar of the Andamans, who lost his entire familyat sea and built a new life for himself as 'captain' of his village.Syeda writes of many such encounters that gave meaning to her life, and ofsome extraordinary people who shaped it: her mother, Aziz Jahan Begum ofthe royal Rampur family, and her father, the educationist Khwaja GhulamusSaiyidain; her uncle, the writer and cinema legend Khwaja Ahmed Abbas;Indira Gandhi, with whom she worked briefly; and Khushwant Singh, thegrand old Sardar who was her literary mentor.Sensitive, deeply human, intimate and often moving, this is an inspiring recordof a remarkable Indian life.…
