Golap Chandra Khound’s Girmit (‘Indenture’) is a collection of ten short stories based on the tea gardens of Assam. Khound earned notable fame as a short story writer of the Ramdhenu era (1951-1967) and he is at his dexterous best in this collection of short stories based on the highly idiosyncratic tea garden way of Assam. The word ‘Girmit’ roughly translates to ‘agreement’ or ‘contract’ and all the stories in this collection feature the indentured labourers and their lives as deeply woven with the tea plantations of colonial and post-colonial Assam. Girmit has stories of the exploiters and the exploited; of the British Sahibs and their Indian shadows or Babus; of a bountiful landscape and tea garden people; of hopes, horrors and terrifying consequences and of pathos and promise.

The book explores the historical dimension of Indian indenture from within the lived experience of laborers, who emigrated to Fiji from colonial India a century ago. As these laborers are no longer alive, one could argue that the experience of indenture is no longer accessible, if there had not been recordings of the laborers’ life narratives. It is seven of these audio recordings, made for public broadcast, which form the data for a fine-grained language-analysis to unearth the life-world of indenture. Through the merging of Labov’s high-point analysis with Bamberg’s positioning analysis, the book focuses on the situated discursive performativity of identities, and draws attention to the complex and at times conflicting positions within the life narratives. Sorting through those positions resulted in the ultimate challenge to the essentially homogenizing current master narrative discourse on who can be classified as an indentured laborer, and what signifies as an indenture experience.

How do ordinary people respond when their lives are irrevocably altered by terror and violence? Susanna Trnka was residing in an Indo-Fijian village in the year 2000 during the Fijian nationalist coup. The overthrow of the elected multiethnic party led to six months of nationalist aggression, much of which was directed toward Indo-Fijians. In State of Suffering, Trnka shows how Indo-Fijians' lives were overturned as waves of turmoil and destruction swept across Fiji. Describing the myriad social processes through which violence is articulated and ascribed meaning-including expressions of incredulity, circulation of rumors, narratives, and exchanges of laughter and jokes-Trnka reveals the ways in which the community engages in these practices as individuals experience, and try to understand, the consequences of the coup. She then considers different kinds of pain caused by political chaos and social turbulence, including pain resulting from bodily harm, shared terror, and the distress precipitated by economic crisis and social dislocation. Throughout this book, Trnka focuses on the collective social process through which violence is embodied, articulated, and silenced by those it targets. Her sensitive ethnography is a valuable addition to the global conversation about the impact of political violence on community life.

During medieval times, before getting annihilated by a lusty foreign empire, the hugely outnumbered four major kingdoms of mid-eastern Bharat decided to shift their children to a newly discovered, sheltered island named Garroth. Garroth was divided into four parts (Diadem, Parnell, Jowett and Ron dark) and the heirs of all the four kings were assigned a kingdom each. Overtime, the kings and queens of the divided kingdoms of Garroth, overcame all odds. They nurtured and successfully raised their kingdoms from scratches. But their contradictory views and a sense of competition along with clashing interests made the relationships of the kingdoms hostile towards each other. One fine day, Garroth faces the peril of being attacked by 'Saalum'. World's strongest empire on a mission to conquer the planet. Will the war take place? Will the kingdoms of Garroth be able to sort their differences and stand together? Will they be able to defeat Saalum? What are the mysteries of Altraas and Aiden? Will pirates succor Garroth? Prepare to get lost in the riveting and galvanizing chronicles of Garroth.
