Vikrant Pande and Neelesh Kulkarni's quest to retrace the route of Rama's fabled travels during his years in exile began with their trying to locate Chitrakoot on the map, and realizing that they had little idea where it was. Curious about the places mentioned in the Ramayana, they set off on a voyage of their own, following in Rama's footsteps, from Ayodhya to the Dandakaranya forest and Panchvati (near Nashik), and on to Kishkindha (close to Hampi), Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka. Along the way they would discover how closely the narrative of the Ramayana is linked to local folklore, and how the stories of the epic and the moral framework that binds them together still speak to the people who live in the land across which Rama, Sita and Lakshman made their journey. For the armchair traveller as well as those interested in India's cultural history, this is a wonderful book with which to revisit the world of the Ramayana.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. In 1954, in the small town of Silvassa, wind blows through desolate streets. Doors are bolted for the first time, windows shuttered. The town is silent, except for the soft, persistent patter of August rain. The only movement is that of a group of outsiders, gathering stealthily around the barricaded Silvassa police post, their faces grim. A man raises his hand to signal the othersit is time. Uprising chronicles a remarkable, yet overlooked chapter of Indian independence. A few years after the country was formally independent, ordinary Indian civilians rose up against the colonial stragglers entrenched in the villages of Dadra and Nagar Havelithe Portuguese. With Nehru's characteristic refusal to test nascent diplomatic bonds, it's a few brave men and women who take matters into their own hands. It isn't easythe Portuguese are armed to the teeth, outnumber them heavily and have no patience for Gandhian strategies of peaceful resistance. But for the people who put their lives on hold to become part of this extraordinary struggle, it's not about what's easy or hard. It's about doing what's right. And in this case, that means ousting the foreigners lingering in their landoutsiders who continue to extort hapless locals, and are untouchable despite imposing punishing oppression. Through interviews with descendants of the participants (and a handful of participants themselves), newspaper archival records, letters and diary entries, Neelesh Kulkarni painstakingly puts together the pieces of this little-known story. A story of the solidarity, resilience and fearlessness; a testament of people who defy tyrannyand make history in the process.…

'To harness the ether for those who dwell upon the earth is one of the loveliest services that the modern age can render to humanity-Upward Radio!'-Sarojini Naidu's note in the AIR visitors' book For decades, All India Radio or Akashvani, India's national broadcaster, has been 'the sound of India'. Be it Jawaharlal Nehru's iconic 'Tryst with Destiny' speech, shows such as Binaca Geetmala, cricket matches, movies or, more recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Mann ki Baat, AIR has been and continues to be the primary source for programmes on news, entertainment and knowledge for many Indians. But there are innumerable fascinating stories associated with the radio channel itself. For instance, did you know that Rabindranath Tagore dedicated a poem to AIR called 'Akashvani', which was adopted as the Hindi name? Or that an AIR producer was one of the first civilians to be let inside the Golden Temple after Operation Blue Star? Or that noted Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali used to make his disciples listen to AIR's Urdu service to understand correct Urdu pronunciation? These and many other such tales make up Akashvani: A Century of Stories from All India Radio. With anecdotes from producers, broadcasters, radio jockeys and listeners, this book is a must-read to understand AIR's pivotal role in the average Indian's life.…
