Soft cover. Condition: New. This bilingual collection of reminiscence of the late G.K.

Das and divided into three sections, this book takes on special significance as India reflects on the ever-changing prospects ahead of the first seventy-five years of independence.The subject matter in this book outlines the relationship between texts and the larger cultural context that they shape (and that, in turn, shapes them).
