The First Year Fiasco
The Panagarh Institute of Engineering & Management welcomes the new batch of First-Year Engineering students. Among them is Aratrika Roy, a young and enthusiastic engineering student who has joined the residential hostel with others. She enjoys her newly found independence until a student goes missing on campus and a professor dies. Things quickly turn dark when she witnesses a questionable person entering the girl's hostel late at night and seeing the same person being followed by a suspicious shadow. After midnight the same shadow is seen again inside the girl's hostel trying to steal something, prompting the police to investigate. As an avid reader of detective novels, Aratrika tries to solve the mysteries plaguing her college and discovers something she never should have. She learns the hard way that appearances can be deceptive. Do the disappearances of two more students in the Engineering College affect the hostel and college life of hundreds of students? Can she hunt down a perilous killer alone within the campus? Is she able to find the truth, or will she perish trying?
Till Death Do Us Apart
A mission to kill a traitor, becomes a mission to find answers. After more than 30 years of unrelenting service to his nation, Dimitriy, a cold blooded Russian assassin, faces a dilemma. After pulling the trigger for what seemed like the hundredth time, something felt different, it had to. After all, the man he had just killed was the very person he once called ‘Brother.’ While Dimitriy struggles to bury the ghosts of his past, a storm is brewing in Moscow, one that has the potential to tilt the global axis of power in ways unimaginable. Unaware of the secret being kept from him, he must once again, perhaps for the last time, answer the Motherland’s call. The Old Enemies are set to wage war once again. Caught in the crossfire, is Dimitriy. Brotherhood, self, love or nation? He must choose.
Narratives from the Margins
Adivasis have principally been studied in the context of rebellion, environmental history and the politics of identity. However, preoccupations with definitions and notions of identity, while important in themselves, tend to shift attention away from the inner lives of these communities. This book deals with different aspects of the histories of adivasi communities -- from Rajasthan in the west to Bengal and Orissa in the east. The essays in this book discuss a range of issues affecting the socio-economic and cultural life of adivasis and explore the long term continuities and discontinuities between different political regimes. They also reflect some of the new concerns that have come up re...
Nandanar's Children
The narrative of this book is built around the historical experiences of the Paraiyars of Tamil Nadu. The author traces the transformation of the Paraiyars from an ‘untouchable’ and socially despised community to one that came to acquire prominence in the political scene of Tamil Nadu, especially in early 20th century. Through this framework, the book studies a number of issues: subaltern history, colonial ethnography, agrarian systems, agrarian bondage, land legislations, and the interventions by missionaries and social and political organizations.
Medicine and Colonial Engagements in India and Sub-Saharan Africa
This volume examines the various modalities of imperial engagements with the colonized peoples in the former British colonies of India and in sub-Saharan Africa. Articulated through race, gender and medicine, these modalities also became colonial sites of desire addressing colonial anxieties ensuing from concerted engagements. Focussing on colonial India, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Swaziland and Zimbabwe, this volume brings together essays from eminent scholars to examine the dynamics of colonial engagements and their implications in understanding their role in the dominant discourses of the empire. Given its transnational perspective in addressing colonial India and Sub-Saharan Africa, the book will appeal to historians, sociologists, and anthropologists, and to scholars and students in colonial studies, cultural studies, history of medicine and world history.
