Paperback. Condition: Very Good. India is home to almost three million HIV cases. But AIDS is still a disease stigmatized and shrouded in denial. It is stigma that prevents people from openly discussing the facts around HIV, and keeps them from getting treatment. Stigma leads to discrimination against HIV positive people in hospitals, schools and even among families. In this ground-breaking anthology, sixteen of India's well-known writers go on the road to tell the human story behind the epidemic.William Dalrymple meets the devadasis ('temple women'), many of whom have become victims of HIV; Kiran Desai travels to the coast of Andhra where the sex workers are considered the most desirable and Salman Rushdie spends a day with Mumbai's transgenders. These writers travel the country to talk to housewives, vigilantes, homosexuals, police and sex-workers and together they create a complex and gripping picture of AIDS in India: who it is affecting, how and why. Eye-opening, hard-hitting and moving, "AIDS Sutra" will show you a side to India rarely seen before. This anthology was produced in collaboration with Avahan, the India AIDS Initiative of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Every year millions of impoverished families living in the rainfed parts of India leave their homes in search of work. Forced to migrate due to a livelihoods collapse in the villages these distress seasonal migrants shut up their Spartan homes take a few meagre belongings and move often across long distances. The large numbers of children who accompany their parents are forced to drop out of school and in most instances do not find schooling in the areas they move to. As a result at work sites these children are put to work from young ages. The numbers of such children under the age of 14 years is estimated to be in the region of 9 million. This study commissioned by the American India foundation draws on the work of four NGOs in different parts of India and in different sectors sugarcane harvesting in Maharashtra salt pan roof tile and charcoal making in Gujarat and brick kiln migrations from Orissa to Andhra Pradesh. It looks at the exploitative conditions within which these migrant workers are forced to function and also examines what kinds of interventions are needed for them to be able to escape from the vicious annual cycle of distress seasonal migration. Both macro and micro aspects of distress seasonal migration are covered including the spread and scale of the occurrence the seasonality factor the differing contexts employer labour relations working and living conditions of migrant families and children and the links of such migration with child labour. The work of the four NGOs is centred around the education of migrant children. The strategies evolved by them to deal with the mobility of these children and to ensure they do not drop out but continue with their schooling as well as the need for relevant policy changes are also examined. 144 pp.
