Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Avtar Mota's poetry carries the quiet gravity of Kashmir itself-measured, reflective, and deeply humane. His verse doesn't shout; it listens. Rooted in the Kashmiri ethos yet open to universal emotions, Mota writes with rare restraint, allowing loss, memory, exile, and love to speak for themselves. There's an intellectual clarity in his lines, but also a soft ache-an undercurrent of longing shaped by history, landscape, and lived experience.This volume brings together thirty-six poems on exile and its pangs, forming not merely a literary collection but a civilisational echo. At several moments, Mota's poetic voice rises with particular intensity, and poems such as Lal Ded, The Architecture of Erasure, And Then Arrived the Warm Sun, Helplessness, Homeland, and The Inherited Lie stand out as masterpieces where the poet pours out his heart with rare sincerity. Indeed, in most of these poems, Mota comes close to a universal appeal, transforming the specific anguish of Kashmiri exile into an experience that resonates far beyond geography. His style-restrained, reflective, and steeped in memory-sometimes recalls the poignant tradition of Kurdish exile poetry, in which the homeland endures in language even when it is lost in reality. The poems widen outward as well: the Hudson flows beside the Jhelum, Jean-Paul Sartre converses with Sri Krishna, Albert Camus encounters the Katha Upanishad, placing the Kashmiri Pandit experience within the universal condition of exile.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Neelgaatha stands as a monumental achievement in modern Hindi literature-an epic of exceptional scope, ambition, and moral gravity. Composed by the poet Agnishekhar, this Mahakavya, structured in eight Parvas, chronicles the historical, cultural, and spiritual journey of Kashmir through the eyes of its protagonist, Neel-naaga, son of Rishi Kashyapa. Blending mythology, recorded history, and lived experience, the poem transcends the boundaries of regional literature to become a powerful meditation on exile, memory, suffering, and resilience. In its English incarnation, Neelgaatha gains an added dimension of universality through Avtar Mota's scholarly and deeply sensitive translation, which opens this complex epic to a global readership. Avtar Mota's scholarly introduction and footnotes perform the indispensable role in guiding the reader through this terrain. With clarity and erudition, Mota outlines the major historical epochs, mythological genealogies, sacred geographies, and philosophical ideas that inform Agnishekhar's vision.Neelgaatha offers a richly detailed chronicle of Kashmir's historical and cultural life, portraying various events and characters right from the draining of the Satisara Lake to the tragic events of 1990. Through these portrayals, Agnishekhar illuminates Kashmir as a civilisational crossroads whose influence extended across Asia.…
