Soft cover. Condition: New. Gaddar, poet, singer, revolutionary, is among the most well-known of the creative minds associated with people's resistance movements in India. Born Gummadi Vittal Rao in 1947, in Tupran village of Medak district in what is now Telangana, Gaddar became an activist in his youth after dropping out of en…gineering college due to poverty. With a gift for singing and song-writing, he travelled the roadfor some time undergroundreaching lakhs of people with his music, and became the cultural face of' rebellion', the literal meaning of his nom de guerre. Of the thousands of songs Gaddar performed, only a few were ever recorded in print. My Life Is a Song brings together, for the first time in English translation, twenty-three representative songs, selected by his friend and fellow traveller, Vasanth Kannabiran. Translated from the original Telugu with an eye to Gaddar's unique style and delivery, this selection takes the extraordinary 'anthems' of one of India's greatest singer-poetsand a living legend of revolutionary thoughtto a wider audience.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. Vasanth Kannabiran, noted feminist, activist, and writer gathers the many strands of her "helter-skelter" life to pen a feminist memoir that recounts not only the milestones in her own journey, but the life and times of a country in flux. Kannabiran was witness to, and participant in, Andhra Prades…h politics and civil liberties during the tumultuous decades of the late 1970s and 1980s, both as part of the women's movement, and through the legal engagements of her husband, the legendary K.G. Kannabiran. The dark days of the 1975 Emergency; the uneasy calm in the aftermath of communal violence in Hyderabad in 1984; the thrill of electioneering; the historic peace talks between the Naxals and the government; the anti-arrack movement; Rameeza Bee and Mathura; alliances and networks across South and Southeast Asiashe was there, and she tells it like it was. Kannabiran carries the reader with her as she seamlessly unfolds, and enfolds, her life into the politics she lived, offering up a memoir that is candid yet empathetic, endearing yet sharply observant, personally and politically feminist on every single page.

Soft cover. Condition: New. When well-known women's rights activist Vasanth Kannabiran was growing up in the 1950s, grandmothers and aunts shared many real-life stories about 'wives, widows and whores' with her. These seemingly disconnected anecdotes haunted Kannabiran, eventually revealing the pattern of women's lived realities… in the early twentieth century and inspiring her to write Pankaja, her debut novel. In Pankaja, Kannabiran paints a vivid portrait of what it meant to be an upper-caste Hindu woman in India at the time. Pankaja's life and the lives of her women friends and family members are all shaped by the institution of marriage; limited by the norm of wifely duty. Pankaja's mother Rajamma faces undue criticism from society after she is widowed. Pankaja's sister Pattamma, who is widowed at a young age is branded a bad omen and shunned at social occasions. When Kannamma, who belongs to a Brahmin family, ends her unhappy marriage and goes to live with a low-caste mridangam player, her family disowns her and the entire community condemns her. The individual stories of these women converge and diverge as they claim the right to their own lives. Pankaja places family life under the microscope, presenting us with a vision of unflinching honesty. Laced with insights about marriage, widowhood and sexuality, it peels back history to reveal the inner workings of a casteist, patriarchal society. Wise and emotionally astute, this novel is an engrossing and moving read.

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. Swamped by water, this is the precarious life-world of a people in a constant… struggle to survive in an environment that is nurturing and bountiful, yet unpredictable and hostile. The story of the lake and the people whose lives and hopes, joys and sorrows depend on it is told through the eyes of five-year-old seen. 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.
