Hardback. Condition: New. Jeumon has a complicated story stuck in her head: her family's. In the newly-drawn boundaries of Assam and Meghalaya in 1972 India, young Jeumon wonders how she should define herself. Is she Assamese, like her father, or Khasi, like her mother? As a researcher and writer, she speaks with passion of the oral narratives and folk tales shared by the people of the hills and plains, those of different tribes, and those with different languages. To herself, she wonders: if stories can do this, why can't people? Why must they be trapped in singular identities? In this moving narrative of change, Tilottoma Misra tells the story of one family to explore how lives are impacted by sweeping geographical partitions and how human relationships morph under the weight of political turmoil.

"It is in the country's northeastern region, with its complex mosaic of ethnic nationalities at different stages of socio-economic and political growth, that the Indian nation-state is today facing some of its gravest challenges. Time and again, the Indian state has had to work out new strategies and adjustments to deal with the issues thrown up by the different autonomy and secessionist movements of the region. The process of nation-building received its first major jolt when the Nagas, a people virtually untouched by the freedom struggle, expressed their reservations about becoming a part of the newly independent republic and launched an armed struggle for an independent Naga homeland. But, it is the secessionist movement in Assam which seems to pose a much more serious challenge to the nation-state, especially in view of the fact that the Assamese has had centuries of socio-cultural interaction with the rest of the subcontinent and had played a major role in the national struggle. Today, with its really complex ethnic situation, the unsurmountable problem of influx and demographic change and the backward "colonial" state of the economy, Assam has emerged as the problem state of the Indian Union. 276 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Set in the early twentieth century in Shillong, then an emerging colonial town under British rule and the capital of Assam, High Wind is woven around the life of the Sanskrit scholar Banamali Panchatirtha and his wife Haimavati, and their journey from the plans of the Brahmaputra to the hills of Shillong. Tilottoma Misra deftly and sensitively explores the layered complexities of the relationships between the different communities who make Shillong their home the Khasi, the Assamese and the Bengali. As the story unfolds, Haimavati emerges as the central character who quietly but consistently struggles to come out of the clutches of tradition into a more rational and humane world where relationships are not marred by ignorance, prejudice and superstition. The novel was awarded the Lummer Dai Award instituted by the Arunachal Pradesh Literary Society and the Assam Sahitya Sabha in 2017 for its sensitive portrayal of inter-community relationships.
