Though Andhra Pradesh occupies a major place in the Maoist movement, a commensurate and comprehensive account on the origin and growth of the movement is not available. There has been a felt need for such a comprehensive narration of the multi-layered movement for a long time. This volume of collected essays chronicling various aspects of the Maoist movement in the state is a step in the direction of developing such a work. N. Venugopal has been an observer of the movement since 1970. A poet, literary critic, translator, social scientist, journalist and public speaker he published 15 original books in Telugu and as many translations from English into Telugu, besides editing a number of volumes. He is currently editor of Veekshanam, Telugu monthly Journal of Political Economy and Society, Hyderabad.…

A requiem to the lost springs of Indian revolutionary politics, the brilliant translation of the critically acclaimed Sahitya Akademi award-winning Malayalam novel 'Andhakaaranazhi', Island of Lost Shadows brings alive the terror-reign during the dark days of the Emergency. Island of Lost Shadows is a story of intrigue, nerve-wracking tension and suspense, raising questions relevant in the present-day context of terrorism and sedition in the guise of revolution and social change. Through the voices of Sivan, a firebrand revolutionary on the run, hiding in a labyrinthine island lost to the world and Sakunthala whose life has become a never-ending search for her missing husband poet Sreenivasan and a myriad other sharply sketched characters, the author brings to life the troubled times of the Seventies when sadistic excesses were the norm. He also explores the human mind and its tendency for corruption and depravity. A compelling tale that keeps the readers engrossed. (jacket).…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Varavara Rao: A Life in Poetry is the first-ever collection in English of poems by the Telugu poet, selected and translated from sixteen books that he has published. Having begun to write poetry in his early teens, Varavara Rao, now in his early eighties, continues to be a doyen of Telugu modern poets. He was a consistent comrade-in-letters to all the social movements from the 1960s to the 2010s, and this volume is a capsule of momentous social history captured in his poetic imagination. The poems in the collection offer an artistic blend of tender response and thoughtful reaction to social realities, as well as an explosion of powerful emotions from a voice sought to be subdued. Varavara Rao's poetry, more than anything else, is an offering of solidarity to the voiceless, the underdog and the oppressed.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Language: English. Religion and Indian Society: A Sociological Perspective, is a collection of twelve essays written by Prof. Venugopal on different facets of religion in Indian society. Recent developments in Indian society such as the march of secularism, growth in science and technology and modernization of economic and political spheres have not marginalized the religion. There are several sociocultural problems which need to be tackled effectively by our religions and spirituality only. Hence, the religions in India such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism have provided not only an integral frame work for large groups of people but also offered solutions to the vexation of mind and spirit. Besides the religious impulse has stimulated not only routine activities but also special pursuits. The religious impulse has been predominant. Even today there are many prominent personalities in the country who have kept alive the religious inheritance. These essays which deal with the role of charisma in religious life, Bhakti reform, conceptualization of Hinduism and Pluralism, social stratification pioneers in Indian society, etc., are sure to provide new insights into the relationship between religions and society. These essays are concise, clearly written and stimulate discussion. In sum, the book presents an optimistic outlook which regards religion (in spite of its contemporary aberration ) as a vital force for the survival of the Indian society. About The Author: Prof. C.N.
