Kashmir: Glimpses of History and the Story of Stru

In Kashmir: Glimpses of History and the Story of Struggle, one of the most prominent voices of Kashmir, Saifuddin Soz takes a passionate and compelling look at the past, present and future of a vastly misunderstood people. Throughout its long, diverse, distinctive but scarred history, the beautiful and bountiful land of Kashmir has captured the imagination of travellers, kings, historians and nations. From its origins as an ancient civilization, to embracing Islam, to fighting invaders, to ruthless militancy, and the ensuing action by the Indian army; Kashmir has seen it all. Kashmiris fought the Mughals, the Afghans and the Sikhs in the past. However, it was their fight against Dogra autocracy that ultimately led to their disillusionment with the Indian establishment. With Pakistan feeding the emotions of deeply alienated and disenchanted people and the Indian government using force and taking a harder stand by the day, this unique culture now stands completely besieged. What is the future of Kashmir, then? What is the destiny of its people? Can there be solution to the weary problem confronting Kashmir? Can Kashmir reconcile with the past for a better future? Can the Valley return to a life of dignity, peace and development? How? Saifuddin Soz discusses these questions and provides credible and implementable solutions to end the grave crisis.

Shyam: An Illustrated Retelling of the Bhagavata

In the forest of insecurities, is it possible to discover humanity through pleasure? Can we stop seeing each other as predator, prey, rival or mate, and rediscover ourselves as lovers? Does the divine reside in sensual delight, in emotional intimacy and in aesthetic experience? Yes, yes, yes. That is the promise of the Bhagavata. The Bhagavata is the story of Krishna, known as Shyam to those who find beauty, wisdom and love in his dark complexion. It is the third great Hindu epic after the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. However, this narration was composed in fragments over thousands of years, first as the Harivamsa, then as the Bhagavata Purana, and finally as the passionate songs of poet-sages in various regional languages. This book seamlessly weaves the story from Krishna's birth to his death, or rather from his descent to the butter-smeared world of happy women to his ascent from the blood-soaked world of angry men. It isn’t every day that one gets the chance to publish something as beautiful and sublime as Shyam by Devdutt Pattanaik. When I read the first draft I was mesmerized—here, finally, was the story of everyone’s beloved Krishna spanning his life, teachings and legacy, and told in Devdutt Pattanaik’s incredibly accessible style. It is always a pleasure to be working with Devdutt because you know instantly that you’re watching a genius at work—his eye for detail is unparalleled, his storytelling is enchanting, his research is impeccable and, to top it all, his stunning line drawings complement his writing skills admirably. Shyam brings to life the Bhagavata, after the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. Readers will find familiar tales told with utmost charm and simplicity, but also rare, unfamiliar ones. I found my idea of Hindu mythology changing as I delved deeper into the dark and dreamy world of Krishna, and I am certain that readers will feel the same way. This book is not only for mythology enthusiasts, but for anyone looking for a profound, wonderfully told story.
