First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. In Malapalli, an Untouchable corner of a village in the Andhra region, every child s dreams are crushed. They cannot stay at school. They tend the buffaloes. They work the fields. They are sexually exploited. They are expected to be content with a paltry pay. When they assert their rights, they are threatened, killed, or worse, forced to migrate to unknown far-away lands. This is the story of the first sixteen years in the life of Sorajjem, born during the month of India s Independence. It is also a story of the sufferings of her community, the Malas. In this country where Gandhian values run deep, caste oppression is comfortably entrenched. This story is set in the recent past. But it can well be a story of contemporary India. Written in 1973 and published in 1981, Sorajjem is one of the early Telugu novels written by a non-Dalit writer that depicts the problems faced by the Dalits. This masterful translation captures the lived reality of inhumanity, alienation, displacement and sexual atrocity that the Dalits face at the hands of caste-Hindus, and explores why seeds of revolution are sown in Dalit lives. (jacket).

Soft cover. Condition: New. An elegy to kolleru, one of India's largest freshwater lakes located in Andhra Pradesh, akkineni kutumbarao's novel kolleti jadalu vividly brings alive the villages and people whose lives are woven inseparably with the lake.

With dry humour, gentle irony and profound human empathy, kutumbarao details a little-known and rich world, brutally destroyed as the market ultimately triumphs over nature. Softly dies a lake is at once memory, history, tribute, lament, apology and penance; to a childhood, to a lake, to a people, to a vital but lost way of life. The translation by veteran feminist rights activist and writer, Vasanth kannabiran, seamlessly brings to us the world of kolleru in all its transient beauty. This memoir reminds us of ecology mantraeverything is connectedand is a must-read for all lovers of literature and everyone who feels responsible for their only home: the Earth.
