THE STREET OF MISTS
0₹395.00About the Book
“The magic of Paris was surrounding me from all sides, like a thin vapour, entering my pores, like a flavour, like a drug, like a sticky string of gossamer, impossible to detach.” Young Mehjabeen’s stay in Montmartre, Paris, is an exploration of different worlds, without and within. The Paris that she discovers is not a utopia of Love and Art alone. It’s also a city simmering with ethnic conflict. Mehjabeen is in search of her roots, and unknowingly she embarks upon a journey of self-discovery as she attempts to understand art, love, the notion of freedom, and more.
On the one hand, there’s the world of soirées, champagne and luxury and on the other is the world of Agnès Desmoulins, her mentally challenged son Dodi and the Guatemalan refugee Marina. Mehjabeen straddles these two very different worlds, and her myriad experiences find their way into her canvas.

THE THROB OF SILENCE
0₹425.00About the Book
Thamizhachi is not just another poet; her work epitomizes the richness of our heritage that is rooted in village life. Bringing a possibility of hope, she invokes the persona of Vanapechi, her ancestral deity and spirit. Her poetry collection, The Throb of Silence represents the seamless continuity of human kinship with ancestors and posterity and this environment that we share with other living and non-living beings. Even though the modern world mutilates and murders, it is not yet a lost hope or an ineffectual memory of the sweet past. Thamizhachi’s alternative reality of Vanapechi comes alive in poetic epiphanies.

THE TRUTH ABOUT JIHAD
0₹395.00About the Book
Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
’Qur’an 2: 190-192 Those who believe (in the Qur’an), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians,— any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness – on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Qur’an 5:69 Many a prophet had godly people fight along with him, without ever wavering under pressure in the cause of God, nor did they hesitate or become discouraged. God loves the steadfast.

THE TWO KASHMIRS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
0₹495.00About the Book
There has been a steady and incessant campaign by Pakistan against India with effective use of the media and diplomacy. This has corrupted the imagination of impressionable minds in J&K and raised an architecture of violence, which some call the ‘terror industry.’ The Two Kashmirs is an attempt to compare Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) with the rest of Kashmir in India. It discusses the hypothesis advanced by advocates of violence and resistance in J&K about the state being on the receiving end as far as Indian economic and developmental policies are concerned. The data is collected and analysed on the indices of development—ranging from the very basic ones—like life-expectancy and literacy to healthcare and education.

0₹395.00About the Book
A chill runs down one’s spine with the discovery that one is diagnosed with cancer. The dream of a beautiful life ahead and the desire to have the whole world at one’s feet suddenly comes crashing down.
Hope Soars narrates heart-rending stories of those brave men and women, patients and caregivers, who faced the onslaught of cancer with rare and unbridled courage. Some of these stories will take you through the lives of a professor who shuffled her lectures, her appointments with the doctor and chemotherapy sessions, and it was all in a day’s work for her; a mother who lost her little one at a very tender age when he was just beginning to dream big; a young girl who had the entire life ahead of her when she found the malignant tumour in her body; and, a beautiful woman who could not bear to look at herself in the mirror after her mastectomy. But they all emerged winners in the end.
These are their stories of triumph over cancer. Hope is the common link uniting these thirty-four unique and fascinating stories. Readers will be caught unaware saying along with those who have suffered that “Yes, we CAN.” And this is the spirit that the book seeks to promote—the true mission of Indian Cancer Society.

THEY SNATCHED MY PLAYGROUND
0₹495.00About the Book
Are you with India or against India?’ This is the dominant question facing every Kashmiri Muslim today. When Khalid Jehangir asked himself this question, he realised that he wanted to be with India. He also felt Kashmir needed to be with India. Why? Khalid wants to tell the world, Kashmiri Muslims are as nationalistic as anyone else. They want to be a part of India, moving rapidly towards becoming a developed nation, on a prosperity arc. Khalid feels BJP as a political force is evolving in Jammu and Kashmir and will bring in the integration that Kashmir needs. In his book, he says Kashmir’s aspirational youth are fed up of terrorism, which has destroyed its tourism and economy. They have no hopes of jobs, nor futures. Religious militancy is not what Kashmir is all about. He reiterates, Kashmiris have always practised the Islam of Sufis which is about syncretism. Hizbul and Jamaat-e-Islami extremists call it kufr. Khalid’s marriage to a Christian girl from Thanjavur introduced him to the multi-religious, secular India. Though a Muslim, he was married in a temple and in a church and he shared a meal with Hindu priests and Christian Fathers. It is Khalid’s quest for a secular democratic Kashmir that has brought forth this book that profiles through a personal journey, a larger political perspective.

THINK SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT

Welcome to the world of Social Media — a territory where users have already created their network.
