Soft cover. Condition: New. A teashop in Kamalapura overflows with the lives, squabbles and sounds of its neighbourhood. Tansen sorely regrets abandoning his gifted son Bilas Khan in a story set in the Mughal court. A doting father sacrifices his children's happiness to serve the cruel demands of his upper-caste master. An India almost unknown to us floods the pages of this significant series of short stories sourced from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Ringing with the music of India's regional languages, and peppered with wit and social commentary, these stories are windows to the past and its people-the everyday struggles and joys; the ties of friendship and faith; the politics of love and rejection; the intricacies of betrayal and envy; and the conflicts of class and caste-while continuing to be relevant to our present, puncturing the boundaries of time and space. How much has Indian society changed? How much of it has not.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Samboli! means echcharike in Kannada 'Be careful!' Samboli! This expression is not from yesterday or the day before; it is centuries old. Manu, the ancient lawgiver, decreed that people belonging to any of the untouchable castes of this country had to hold a pole with jingling bells tied to one end and pound it on the ground at every step to make a sound jal-jal. They had to call out, 'Samboli! Samboli!' This is the Samboli pole warning others of their presence. They were to walk only on conservancy lanes and not on the main streets and only around noon when their shadow was tucked under their feet and would not pollute people of the upper castes by falling on them. Samboli, by extension, could imply 'Beware!' in the present context of Dalit uprisings. It could also be a clarion call for Dalit's to fight for their humanity.…
