Soft cover. Condizione: New. I was very fond of Safdar, but who wasn t? We liked him for his charming personality, his easy laughter, sophisticated manners, effortless articulation, clear-cut views and tender human values. Habib Tanvir This is not a story of death. It is a story of life. The luminous life of Safdar Hashmi, extraordinary in all its ordinariness. On New Year s Day in 1989, Jana Natya Manch Janam the theatre group Safdar was a part of, and which he led, was attacked while performing a street play on the outskirts of Delhi. He was only thirty-four when he died from injuries sustained during this senseless attack. Beginning with a record of the attack that killed him, this vivid memoir illuminates the life of Safdar Hashmi artist, comrade, poet, writer, actor, activist, and a man everyone loved. But this is not a book about one man or one tragic incident. Halla Bol shows us, close up, how one man s death and life are intertwined with the stories of many people. For a generation that grew up without knowing Safdar Hashmi, Halla Bol renders his passion, humour and humanism into an intimate portrait. It also gives an understanding of resistance, and the strength to put it into practice. It shows the profound link between ideology and real-life struggle. The ideas that Safdar and his colleagues grappled with during a period of tumult and change in India are harbingers of the society we are today. Halla Bol, the play Janam was performing in Jhandapur at the time of the attack, is included in English translation as an appendix to the book.…

Soft cover. Condizione: New. At the heart of Sitaram Yechury's worldview was Marxism as shaped by the Indian Communist movement. This is a Marxism that is not purely theoretical. It seeks to not only understand the Indian reality, but also, through struggles on the ground, to transform this reality in a democratic and progressive direction. It is rooted in centuries of struggles in India to enhance sovereignty not only of the territory but also of the people themselves. Sitaram Yechury's commitment to a secular and socialist 'idea of India' is not driven by a desire to create an alternative to neoliberal Hindutva within the confines of the faltering republic. His entire praxis is shaped by his belief in the need to transcend the grotesque contradictions of neoliberal Hindutva and move to a deeper democratic dispensation that would open the door to socialism. It came out of his deep conviction in socialism and Marxism, and his unshaken commitment to bettering the lives of the Indian working classes. His critique of Hindutva and neoliberalism is not, therefore, from the standpoint of liberalism, but from a Communist perspective. Praxis of a Socialist is an exploration of the Marxism of Sitaram Yechury. It collects his key texts about Marxism, about the struggles in India, and about the necessity for a socialist transformation from the grip of capitalism.…

Soft cover. Condizione: New. "Sudhanva Deshpande has written an engaging and sweeping narrative about the artist and designer Orijit Sen. He locates Sen in a larger connection between art, design, architecture and politics, tracing it from the  artist-engineers from the Renaissance such as Leonardo, to Darwin's Theory of Evolution, the Russian Revolution, Russian Constructivism with its vision of bringing industry and design to the masses, the little known Soviet design school Vkhutemas, the Bauhaus in Germany, and the establishment of the NID where Sen studied, bringing together Gandhi's emphasis on rural crafts with Nehru's vision of an industrialized India. Sen is an iconoclast with a restless creative spirit and deep social commitment which leads him to innovate in everything that he does. I particularly enjoyed reading about his student days, his collaboration with Habib Tanvir and Naya Theatre (to make a film on women's reproductive health!) and the story of his bohemian shop and adda People Tree." - Pushpamala N., artist "It is a flashback to the time when India and we were young. Also, a deep dive into the lives of two extraordinary people, their vision, work, and commitment to the extraordinary project that our country was then. Orijit's brave and incisive engagement with the India of today, warts and all, jolted me into examining my own actions. Thank you, Sudhanva, for reminding us of the possibilities that still exist." - Ratna Pathak Shah, actor "For decades I, like countless others, have been an unabashed admirer of Orijit Sen's brilliant, fearless, independent voice as an artist. With Imposter, Sudhanva Deshpande gives me the rare opportunity to understand his work, his personality, his moorings and anchors in life and work, articulated in a writing style that is both accessible and deeply insightful and informative." - Shubha Mudgal, musician "A vivid chronicle capturing a brave artist-designer's journey, where ethics and conviction triumph over credentials or commerce. Through reflective, incisive writing, Imposter reveals a creative life shaped by integrity, risk, and an unwavering commitment to personal truth." - Nina Sabnani, animator & author. …
