With the trained ear of a child psychotherapist, the author listens to children’s stories as they emerge in her consulting room, through word and play, and translates them for adults.

Instead, it is the ordinary stuff of everyday life, taking place in every family. That sometimes we all carry the pain of complex feelings within ourselves for all of our lives—love and rage towards the people we are closest to.

Yet this gaze has been challenged and subverted time and time again by a community that refuses to be ashamed or see itself as the victim. Some of the greatest victories in recent history in this battle for rights have been won in Tamil Nadu - the first state in India where the government recognised many of the rights of the hijra community.

Gabbilam presents a Dalit man as the hero and protagonist perhaps for the first time in the classical verse-epic tradition of Indian poetry, and is the earliest text to highlight the oppression, exclusion, and dehumanization of untouchables in casteist Hindu society.

Several of them focus on the plight and emancipation of widows of all ages.

Offering a wide-ranging analysis of urban worlds, the authors reveal the ethical, spatial, and political stakes of storytelling and how vital it is to examine the corruption plot in all its contradictions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"a43tdv-ul7irm-b3ze4d-eqk0ez\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9382579923\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" class=\"celwidget\" id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"rj7jst-hs54x8-rawc5b-73txfu\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9382579923\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" class=\"celwidget\" id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"2flzom-tdqs8-bp7ups-eqlgsd\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9382579923\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" class=\"celwidget\" id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_2\" data-csa-c-id=\"3r6bl-w997jx-uimvcj-9x94za\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-3\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" class=\"celwidget c-f\" cel_widget_id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mix-claimed=\"true\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_2\" id=\"CardInstance2TLSquwdANSaoGHy1Y4F1w\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\" data-logged-in=\"false\" data-marketplace=\"A21TJRUUN4KGV\" data-asin=\"9382579923\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Yoda Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40485613600803,"sku":"","price":699.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/71GVxAYwn3L._SL1280.jpg?v=1718515269"},{"product_id":"living-with-the-weather-climate-change-ecology-and-displacement-in-south-asia","title":"Living with the Weather : Climate Change, Ecology, and Displacement in South Asia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow does climate change intensify social cleavages in new configurations of knowledge and power?

It provides a synoptic record of events which focus on the history of communal violence in Bombay city since 1893 and the post-Independence trajectory of clashes between the two communities culminating in the Babri Masjid riots. In December 1992 the cosmopolitan veneer of Bombay was shattered when targeted violence broke out killing over 1000 people and injuring hundreds. This book revisits the survivors of those two months of rioting when the city changed forever in many ways, increasing ghettoisation and creating a chasm of distrust between Hindus and Muslims. How did ordinary men and women cope with death and loss of their loved ones, the destruction of their homes and neighbourhoods? Did the dream city crumble for them in the aftermath of murder and mayhem? With new forewords by Christophe Jaffrelot and Moosa Qureshi, this new edition of the book presents an unvarnished account of the survivors and how some of them continue to fight for justice and their struggle to regain their livelihoods and homes over two decades after the cataclysmic events of that time, often with little help from the state.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoda Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40588753928227,"sku":"","price":699.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/71sOvz06oxL._SL1500.jpg?v=1727162516"},{"product_id":"governing-forests","title":"Governing Forests","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe nations of the Global North are responding to the climate change emergency with emissions trading schemes and alternative sources of energy. Meanwhile, nations of the Global South, still emerging from historical exploitation under colonialism, face decisions about natural resource use that are, for traditional owners and inhabitants of resource-rich lands, often a matter of life or death. Environmental lawyer and legal scholar Arpitha Kodiveri has worked alongside many of India’s forest-dwelling communities and describes how they bear the cost of both rapacious mining development and increasing pressure for forest land to be set aside for environmental conservation. Despite these challenges, Kodiveri shows how the traditional owners and inhabitants of forest areas are driving creative solutions in forest law.

As an important factory takes shape with German collaboration in a central Indian town, Hans Gerder finds himself on a learning curve once more. Just as it has been all his life. With a childhood spent in southwest Africa, and then learning harsh truths about Germany in the early 1940s, Hans is at times confused about the past and his own role in it. As a witness to evil, Hans is haunted by what he has seen, and is unsure about his chances for love and redemption. But in this somnolent yet simmering Indian town, circumstances link his life closely to young Lipsa's, who is as lonely and lost as he is. When a body is discovered unexpectedly in the forest, Hans finds himself shielding Lipsa and her family from the predatory instincts of an ambitious police officer.

A sense of helpness pervades many of the stories, as the women struggle to articulate desires thwarted by custom and social constraints. There are women in the stories who, unable to bear an untenable situation, end their lives, and other who courageously question, fight and overcome the injustices being foistered upon them. Writing at a time upper-caste women were not very visible in the public sphere, their lives confined by marriage, motherhood, widowhood or indigence, Savitri Ammal's characters voice their love, fear, shame or guilt in a variety of circumstances with startling candour and poignancy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9382579591\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"gyympd-rhxuyp-4xay75-2anw8n\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9382579591\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"rrxzi4-w9j967-pxhlr9-oaovel\" data-cel-widget=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9382579591\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"fgonei-r52pdx-wa8kvx-cgcsc4\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-4\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"8c8ozx-132sgv-bz92tu-utbek1\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstanceB6k3Gv4rnjNXlsYhO8tUnA\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_3\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-asin=\"9382579591\" data-customer-id=\"\" data-marketplace=\"A21TJRUUN4KGV\" data-session-id=\"258-3894406-7699568\" data-logged-in=\"false\" class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoda Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40899922591779,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/kal.jpg?v=1753528022"},{"product_id":"the-house-and-other-stories","title":"The House and Other Stories","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"bookDescription\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"bookDescription\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9382579125\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"muri6o-tbu7do-ngp0im-l0d4a4\" data-cel-widget=\"bookDescription_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-a-expander-name=\"book_description_expander\" data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"280\" class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-spacing-base a-expander-partial-collapse-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCalcutta is the central character in each of the three stories in this book.

What stories lie locked up in each of them? Will they ever be told? Like magic, one question leads to another and soon, they no longer appear anonymous; they come alive.

Courtly and pastoral, rural and urban, cosmopolitan and  vernacular confronted each other, resulting in a commingling of high and low styles. A literary salon in what is now Bangladesh, at the eastern extreme of the nexus of regional courtly cultures that defined ten age, seems to have implicitly reformulated its entire literary system in the context of the imminent breakdown of the old courtly world, aa Turkish power expanded and redefined the landscape. Through close reading of little-known corpus of texts from eastern India and Bangladesh, Jesse Ross Knutson demonstrates how a local and rural sensibility came to infuse the cosmopolitan language of Sanskrit, creating a regional literary idiom founded on a cosmopolitan-local dialectic that would define the emergence of the  Bengali Language and its literary traditions.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoda Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40900333764643,"sku":null,"price":650.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/51AI3ITUJ7L.jpg?v=1753611595"},{"product_id":"civilization-and-modernity-narrating-the-creation-of-pakistan","title":"Civilization and Modernity: Narrating the Creation of Pakistan","description":"\u003cdiv data-testid=\"description\" class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large TruncatedContent__text--expanded\" data-testid=\"contentContainer\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph__widthConstrained\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003eThe story of India’s partition and the creation of Pakistan remains even today a subject of considerable scholarly contention despite the substantial corpus of works on the subject.

Two of these were especially the conceptualization of the Indo-European language family by Sir William Jones at Calcutta in 1786―proposing that Sanskrit is related to Persian and languages of Europe―and the conceptualization of the Dravidian language family of South India by F.W. Ellis at Madras in 1816―the “Dravidian proof,” showing that the languages of South India are related to one another but are not derived from Sanskrit. These concepts are valid still today, centuries later. This book continues the examination Thomas R. Trautmann began in Aryans and British India (1997). While the previous book focused on Calcutta and Jones, the current volume examines these developments from the vantage of Madras, focusing on Ellis, Collector of Madras, and the Indian scholars with whom he worked at the College of Fort St. George, making use of the rich colonial record. Trautmann concludes by showing how elements of the Indian analysis of language have been folded into historical linguistics and continue in the present as unseen but nevertheless living elements of the modern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoda Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40900403331107,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/nations.png?v=1753614832"},{"product_id":"gay-writers-in-search-of-the-divine-hinduism-and-homosexuality-in-the-lives-and-writings-of-edward-carpenter-e-m-forster-and-christopher-isherwood","title":"Gay Writers In Search Of The Divine: Hinduism And Homosexuality In The Lives And Writings Of Edward Carpenter, E.M.

More than a century later, one of the largest non-violent farmers’ protests in recent world history took place in New Delhi. The unrest began in Punjab and Haryana in June 2020 and reached India’s capital city in November 2020. By January 2021, hundreds of thousands of farmers and farm labourers demonstrated against three draconian farm laws passed at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The farmers’ protest continued until the Indian Government finally relented and withdrew the laws. Most people living in towns and cities in India today have been cut off from their rural roots. They know little about how their food reaches them from farm to table. They know even less about the lives of the farmers and farm labourers who produce this food. Farmers Protest! tries to bridge this gap as it narrates why Indian farmers were compelled to resist, and how they are the first responders to the challenges created by climate change.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9348566709\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"4mkea-62bexn-nwobco-yyk6f7\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9348566709\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"9ng3rm-2t1n6y-roryc7-azxwf6\" data-cel-widget=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9348566709\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"rej4xg-cycg88-w9evtd-s45f28\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-2\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"ac8yop-sagqsz-fnywt-7pi9s1\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstanceVjjlCgyr8XI-Ry5dY26-jw\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_1\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-asin=\"9348566709\" data-customer-id=\"\" data-marketplace=\"A21TJRUUN4KGV\" data-session-id=\"258-3894406-7699568\" data-logged-in=\"false\" class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoda Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40900451074083,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/711-P7lu-jL._SL1386.jpg?v=1753617827"},{"product_id":"woman-life-freedom-echoes-of-a-revolutionary-uprising-in-iran","title":"Woman!

The book is the chronicle of a revolt that took hold of Iran with surprise, audacity, and uncertainty in 2022. The long autumn of insurrection also conjures up other sequences in Iranian history, illuminated by other movements, and memories of struggle and violence. The result is a long history of power and resistance, which is portrayed through the lens of the author’s family history, as well as her research as an anthropologist attentive to counter archives and collective emotions. Woman! Life! Freedom! leaves the reader with an archive in the orange light of street fires, which have become the symbol of a revolt that is experienced as a combustion of anger, profanation and contagion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9348566385\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"up4cca-mds5fg-54xmso-n74r8c\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9348566385\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"2u8vhn-q0skqe-w48sdz-z96bhd\" data-cel-widget=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9348566385\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"f7oqd1-8mve4y-ts95rw-3p4ahb\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-5\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"20q6rm-r9rgvi-uq0bvd-tq1oof\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstance7tcUReM2SPO4s2mFpKLVIg\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_4\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-asin=\"9348566385\" data-customer-id=\"\" data-marketplace=\"A21TJRUUN4KGV\" data-session-id=\"258-3894406-7699568\" data-logged-in=\"false\" class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoda Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40900457267235,"sku":null,"price":599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/71rRu8xGKTL._SL1305.jpg?v=1753618197"},{"product_id":"sing-slivered-tongue-an-anthology-of-south-asian-womens-poetry-of-trauma-in-english","title":"Sing, Slivered Tongue: An Anthology of South Asian Women's Poetry of Trauma in English","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"bookDescription\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"bookDescription\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9348566857\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"8wxu5q-1jnnq3-net1wj-3byddw\" data-cel-widget=\"bookDescription_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-a-expander-name=\"book_description_expander\" data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"280\" class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-spacing-base a-expander-partial-collapse-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrauma, particularly that of women, has typically been relegated to silence and oblivion. Sing, Slivered Tongue is a collection of poetry by women from South Asia writing on trauma. The title of the volume is a reference to the ancient legend of Khona, a wise woman whose tongue was severed by her envious father-in-law. The volume gathers together the voices and experiences of sixty-eight women from various South Asian communities, in an attempt to explore the subject of trauma through a gendered lens. Lopamudra Basu and Feroza Jussawalla, the volume’s editors, ensure that the preconceived notion of silence around women’s trauma is subverted, even as the verses they bring together explore the enduring sensations and experiences of trauma, loss, and grief from across South Asia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9348566857\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"1hujsq-f779tr-to56lu-9o6n7h\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9348566857\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"w998xk-2seit7-fqsvap-fbqj1w\" data-cel-widget=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"9348566857\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"r8x8f0-hb90rs-lg1ty5-wk7qj2\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-2\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"u0pmc9-31w0me-3b7mxl-9khr5o\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstance_BkxBvpLjpkwtZLZnRaI6A\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_1\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-asin=\"9348566857\" data-customer-id=\"\" data-marketplace=\"A21TJRUUN4KGV\" data-session-id=\"258-3894406-7699568\" data-logged-in=\"false\" class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoda Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40900460511267,"sku":null,"price":499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/61Qv_5nTA5L.jpg?v=1753618611"},{"product_id":"yaadgah-memories-of-srinagar","title":"Yaadgah: Memories of Srinagar","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"bookDescription\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"bookDescription\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"934856644X\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"thf9ff-s8ysdv-gazcet-oc4nw0\" data-cel-widget=\"bookDescription_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-a-expander-name=\"book_description_expander\" data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"280\" class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-spacing-base a-expander-partial-collapse-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYaadgah: Memories of Srinagar is a collection of essays dedicated to the old city of Srinagar.
