Soft cover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. In Malapalli, an Untouchable corner of a village in the Andhra region, every child s dreams are crushed. They cannot stay at school. They tend the buffaloes. They work the fields. They are sexually exploited. They are expected to be content with a paltry pay. When they assert their rights, they are threatened, killed, or worse, forced to migrate to unknown far-away lands. This is the story of the first sixteen years in the life of Sorajjem, born during the month of India s Independence. It is also a story of the sufferings of her community, the Malas. In this country where Gandhian values run deep, caste oppression is comfortably entrenched. This story is set in the recent past. But it can well be a story of contemporary India. Written in 1973 and published in 1981, Sorajjem is one of the early Telugu novels written by a non-Dalit writer that depicts the problems faced by the Dalits. This masterful translation captures the lived reality of inhumanity, alienation, displacement and sexual atrocity that the Dalits face at the hands of caste-Hindus, and explores why seeds of revolution are sown in Dalit lives.

Hardcover. Condición: New. What happens to the woman who is loved, used and discarded because of her caste? Will a vice Chancellor give in to the political pressures of a minister, when both of them are Dalits? What happens to a man destined to live in stench all his life? Whose victory is it that of the Dalit boy who plays the tappeta or the landlord who wins the election? Does one have the right to decide on another life no matter how beholden he is? What is the relationship between sub-castes among Dalits? Will the exploitation of the poor Dalit continue? What is the bond between the bull and the Dalit who tends it? These are only some questions These twelve stories raise. Drawing on the material from his life, Enoch jolts us out of our complacency to ponder over the questions of caste, Class and gender; of love, friendship, power games, exploitation and politics.

Soft cover. Condición: New. 'My stories are born out of the oppression, discrimination, happiness, sorrow, insults, oppositions and experiences woven by the society around me. In the crevices.are the problems of generations of my untouchable mothers, sisters and the children'. Translated for the first time into English, Joopaka Subhadra's stories expose the lives of Madiga women, the most oppressed among Dalits in Telangana. As she declares that she has drawn these from lived experiences, the reader in turn witnesses the cruelties in the lives of Dakkalis, who are wandering bards, disturbance in the old feudal hierarchies with the arrival of educated Dalit youth, lack of compassion in society for women with disabilities, and the absence of accountability in government institutions, society, and the state. The stories reveal the subtle discrimination practiced despite education and employment and those on the politics of food are particularly intriguing.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In the late eighteenth century, amid intense Anglo-French rivalry in India, Pierre Sonnerat - French naturalist, traveller, and administrator - undertook two journeys to the subcontinent. Godson of the renowned horticulturist and administrator Pierre Poivre, Sonnerat served in Pondicherry shortly before the British siege of 1778. Captivated by the landscapes and ancient cultures of South India, he published Voyage aux Indes orientales et à la Chine (1782), a richly illustrated two-volume work. The first volume offers vivid observations of Indian society, castes, religion, and rituals, enriched by 140 original plates depicting flora, fauna, people, and deities. These visual and textual records emerged in an age of Enlightenment curiosity, when travel writing functioned as both science and art, securing Sonnerat's place in the history of exploration.This extensively annotated translation of Volume I, accompanied by a substantial introduction, makes this important Enlightenment text accessible to contemporary readers. It will appeal to translators of eighteenth-century French travel writing and offer researchers fresh perspectives beyond long-dominant English sources on Indo-French encounters, deepening understanding of the intellectual and cultural forces that shaped the European imagination of India.…
