My Name is Radha
A bohemian and an iconoclast, the figure of Saadat Hasan Manto looms large over the literature of the Indian subcontinent. We know of his stories on the horrors of Partition and the struggles of prostitutes. But neither Partition nor prostitution gave birth to the genius of Manto. They only furnished him with an occasion to reveal the truth of the human condition. My Name Is Radha is a path-breaking edition of stories which delves deep into Manto’s creative world, and refreshingly brings into focus Manto the writer rather than Manto the commentator. Muhammad Umar Memon’s inspired selection of Manto’s best-known stories along with those less talked about, and his precise and elegant translation showcase an astonishing writer being true to his calling. ‘The undisputed master of the modern Indian short story’ Salman Rushdie ‘An errant genius’ The Hindu
The Alliance
“Even if the sky falls to the ground, even if the whole world begs me, and even if all the people in the city and in the country kiss my hands and feet, I swear to God, I swear to the Prophet and I swear to the Quran that this cannot and will not happen, you all know me very well, when I say no to anything, that thing cannot be done even if it costs my life. If my son is really my son, he will never be able to do this. I am known in the whole world, from here to London, from Pakistan to America, as a hero of Jihad, so tell my son not to mess up with me…” This novel takes you on a fascinating journey into the moral, cultural, social, political and historical lifestyle of a nation where both ancient and modern empires and super powers; Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, the Mogul Empire, Persian Empire, the British Empire, Sikh Empire, the Soviet Union and finally the richest country in the human history, the United States of America adventured but lingered in knowing the uniqueness and the real convolution of its way of life. This novel takes you deep down to that point of the journey where I bet you have never been.
THE ZAMINDARS AND NAWABS OF BENGAL
This book deals with the defiant resistance faced by Mughals from the Zamindars of Bengal for more than eighty years, the atrocities of the Nawabs of Bengal, and the false allegations on Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah by the British. History, during the Mughal period, was recorded by royal courtiers who wrote about the Emperors and Governors, exalting their victories and achievements. Rarely were the resistance of the Zamindars of Bengal recorded, if at all mentioned. The British contorted history to suit their schemes, denigrating and deriding the people of this country to justify colonial rule. The history of India, as taught to us, is not always a true depiction. It is the history of the foreigners who came and ruled India. The history has been repeatedly dressed up to suit their requirements. Facts have been misrepresented, misinterpreted or deliberately suppressed to serve the purpose of the ruler. The author has tried to present the occurrences in Bengal during the Mughal period from their correct perspective, through extensive research and cross-studies of many historians, both Indian and foreign, cross-vetting the truth and actuality.

Learning Convolution Operators for Visual Tracking
Visual tracking is one of the fundamental problems in computer vision. Its numerous applications include robotics, autonomous driving, augmented reality and 3D reconstruction. In essence, visual tracking can be described as the problem of estimating the trajectory of a target in a sequence of images. The target can be any image region or object of interest. While humans excel at this task, requiring little effort to perform accurate and robust visual tracking, it has proven difficult to automate. It has therefore remained one of the most active research topics in computer vision. In its most general form, no prior knowledge about the object of interest or environment is given, except for the...

A Lamp for the Dark World
Akbar the Great is a very familiar figure to most Indians. Hailed as a brilliant warrior, a great administrator, and a visionary ruler whose ideas of pluralism and tolerance sought to unify India with all its diversity of peoples and religions, he is also an increasingly contested figure in the national discourse. And familiar though he might be, Akbar is a mystery too, locked in his own legend: a man to admire but difficult to know. What was Akbar really like—as a child, a father, a friend, a foe? What were his moods like – his anger, his melancholy, his passions and his laughter? How did a thirteen-year-old fatherless boy, surrounded by ambitious advisors and warlords, become one of th...
