Speaking Tiger. Paperback. NEW. ‘You see, Moonie, I did a terrible thing for which I had to leave Bombay. I don’t want to burden you, in this letter, with the details of my deed—or my life. It’s a long story and I’m not a man of words.’ It is 2009, more than a decade after Maya read this intriguing letter addressed to her. The awkward, adopted child of an odd Bengali couple, she’s now a 34-year-old journalist in an existential mess that she alleviates by smoking pot and going on long walks with her latest boyfriend. But in order to find the meaning she craves, Maya must confront her past, and open a box of objects she inherited. When she finally does, she’s led on a startling, sparkling journey of discovery. At the centre of this journey is Burjor Elavia, a ‘fifty-fifty’, an ‘Adhkachru’— the illegitimate child of a Parsi man and a tribal woman—born in a nondescript village in Gujarat. In 1952, not yet eighteen, he made his way to Bombay, where he lived a colourful… Read More

HarperCollins India. Hardcover. NEW. Beginning with West Pakistan refusing to honour the general election results that gave power to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and then embarking on a genocidal mission in East Pakistan, the 1971 War is now acknowledged as one of the last 'just wars' of the 20th century. Heroes of 1971: The Bravehearts of the War that Gave Birth to Bangladesh tells the stories of the soldiers who redrew the map of South Asia in what is still considered to be the most conclusive military victory after World War II.

Speaking Tiger. Paperback. NEW. Spanning over six millennia, this monumental and thoroughly engrossing narrative account of Indian history and myth offers a new way of understanding one of the world’s oldest and most fascinating religions. Hinduism does not lend itself easily to a strictly chronological account: many of its texts cannot be reliably dated even within a century; its central tenets—karma and dharma, to name only two—arise at particular moments in Indian history and often differ in each era, between genders, and from region to region, caste to caste; and what is shared among Hindus is overwhelmingly outnumbered by the things that are unique to one group or another. Yet the greatness of Hinduism—its vitality, earthiness and vividness—lies precisely in many of these idiosyncratic qualities that continue to inspire debate and devotion today. With immense skill Wendy Doniger illuminates those moments within the Hindu tradition that resist forces that would standardize or establish… Read More
