Not A Good Day To Die

Sean Naylor, Rs. 1,117.80

Award-winning journalist Sean Naylor, an eyewitness to the action, vividly portrays the fight for Afghanistan's most hostile battleground and details the failures of military intelligence and planning that left victory hanging by a thread. It is a superb account of a heart-racing battlefield action.

Subaltern Studies XII

Rs. 695.00

The twelfth volume of Subaltern Studies comprises essays broadly linked by an interest in the history of Muslims and Dalits in South Asia, or with the manner in which dominant histories in the subcontinent have been `fabricated.'

The Event of the Quran

Kenneth Cragg,

Rs. 275.00

This scholarly work offers a valuable and lasting contribution to humanity's urgent quest for interfaith understanding and true spirituality. In this study and in his search for answers to various questions he presents readers with a comprehensive vision of the Quran, its context and its wider meanings.

Because I Have a Voice

Rs. 295.00


To speak of sexuality, and of same-sex love in particular, in India today is an act of political assertion, celebration, defiance and fear. This collection of writings states boldly that queer lives and politics are inextricably linked with each other.

Talk to the Hand

Lynee Truss, Rs. 295.00

This is not a book about manners or etiquette. It is about the rudeness of the modern world, and the sense of courage that infects us every day as we discover that other people are, generally speaking, crass, selfish and inconsiderate. The author asks why rudeness is a universal flashpoint and examines sources of affront.

Shadow Cities

Robert Neuwirth,

Rs. 395.00

Perhaps the first writer to have lived in the shantytowns of four continents, Neuwirth portrays the indomitable energy, dark humour and gritty determination that sustain the cities of the poor. Squatters are the true builders of our global urban future.


Free Expression is

No Offence

Rs. 379.35

This book tackles the issue of free speech in the post 9/11 world from a variety of angles. Its authors draw on their wide-ranging experience from the courts and couch to page and stage to show just why it is that attempts to curtail our freedom must be vigorously resisted.

Engaging With

The World

Rs. 750.00

This comprehensive volume brings together essays by well-known scholars associated with South Asian and International Relations Studies, on significant themes of India's foreign policy.

For The

Thinking Woman

Varkha Chulani,

Rs. 150.00
