Soft cover. Condizione: New. Embark on a resplendent journey alongside acclaimed writer Pradeep Damodaran, as he follows the fault lines of freedom and independence in contemporary India and paints a vivid portrait of a nation in flux. Damodaran travels the length and breadth of the country--from places that played an important role in the Independence movement, such as Sabarmati, Dandi and Jhansi, to sites of contemporary significance, like Nandigram, Unnao and Kudankulam--meeting survivors of riots, descendants of freedom fighters, social workers, environmental activists, farmers and ordinary citizens to discover what freedom means to them. A genre-bending book, In Pursuit of Freedom touches upon several critical issues--religion, economic disparity, gender, environment, politics--as it blends travelogue and memoir, history and current affairs. Spectacular and insightful, this on-the-ground narrative of today's India is a must-read.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. For most residents of India's bustling metros and big towns, nationality and citizenship are privileges that are often taken for granted. The country's periphery, however, is dotted with sleepy towns and desolate villages whose people, simply by having more in common with citizens of neighbouring nations than with their own, have to prove their Indian identity every day. It is these specks on the country's map that Pradeep Damodaran rediscovers as he travels across India's borders for a little more than a year, experiencing life in far-flung areas that rarely feature in mainstream conversations. In Borderlands, he recounts his encounters with the war-weary fishermen of Dhanushkodi at the southernmost tip of Tamil Nadu, who live in fear both of the Indian Coast Guard and the Sri Lankan navy; farmers in Hussainiwala, a village on Punjab's border with Pakistan, who are unwilling to build concrete houses for fear of them being destroyed in the ever looming war; Tamil traders of Moreh, a town straddling the Manipur-Myanmar border, who pay bribes to at least ten different militant organizations so they can safely conduct their business; and ex-servicemen in Campbell Bay who were resettled there three generations ago and have long been forgotten by the mainland. From Minicoy in Lakshadweep to Taki in West Bengal, Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh to Raxaul in Bihar, Damodaran's compelling narrative reinforces the idea that, in India, a land of contrasts and contradictions, beauty and diversity, conflict comes in many forms.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Built in the late 1800s, the Mullaperiyar dam in Kerala was meant to divert the waters of the Periyar River to the arid areas of Madurai in what is now Tamil Nadu, following a 999-year lease with the British government. Today, though, the engineering marvel has turned into a bone of contention between two states, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, over Tamil Nadu's insistence to increase the dam's height and Kerala's concerns regarding safety. This dispute has led to widespread riots and protests in both the states. In May 2014, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Tamil Nadu, but the protests and apprehensions regarding a possible dam burst continue. Water Woes, a timely, insightful exploration of the dispute, examines all aspects of the burning issue of livelihood versus safety. Using meticulous research as well as interviews with government officials, technical experts, police personnel and the common people of both states, at times risking his safety, the author brings out the points of view of both sides. He also shows how water wars will become a major issue not just between states, but between countries, in times to come. This book is a must-read to understand the importance of resolving a simmering issue which might explode in the near future.…
