The Great Indian Inferno


Book Description

Ayodhya imbroglio - Babri Masjid demolition meant many things to many. For some it triggered off a chain of, law and order problems. For some it demoted our economy. For some it deepened Hindu-Muslim divide. For some it worsened Hindu-Muslim hate. For some it meant religious mania. For some it was political advantage by polarization of communal vote banks. For some it was depletion of vote bank. For some it was a blessing and for some it was a curse. But for Jahan Shah, a young IPS Officer, who is also the hero of the story, it was a com of two sides... one side, the mirror and the other side, me fire I On one side, the Ayodhya mirror reflected almost all follies we had. Our political folly, our social folly, our economic folly, our illiteracy, lack of awareness, poverty, our priority, our policy, our discrete discretion and discrimination... any thing and every thing! All dogmas on the earth, on Indian Earth! This novel The Great Indian Inferno crafted around the 'Ayodhya entanglement' is a timely one. The author P.V. Jaganmohan blends fact with fiction with admirable creative dexterity. He has presented a spellbinding narrative that draws sustenance from the ill-perceived notion of cultural identity. Author narrative exalts the power of common place words and creates a symphony of many voices that augers well for our plural society.




Zones of Re-membering


Book Description

Don Gifford in Zones of Re-membering shows clearly, thoughtfully, yet entertainingly how no one explanation will account for the depth and complexity of human experience and its grounding in Memory. Because consciousness is a function of Memory, “life without Memory is no life at all” as Alzheimer’s all too frequently demonstrates. Both our individual and collective Memory is stored in the arts, he contends, which in turn provide a way of knowing and of nourishing Memory and consciousness. Memory, like language, is never really stable or accurate but appears as narrative and these narratives collectively form our entire culture. For Gifford, the profoundest explorer of the human consciousness, time, and memory is James Joyce and in its range of reference, wit, and humanity the spirit of Joyce permeates this book.
