Return of the Yakshi is a story of friendship, idealism, love and a brief but violent revolution that was followed by the passing of land reform legislation in Kerala. It explores the psyche of “Urban Naxals” who get involved in dangerous activities labelled as “seditious” at the risk of their lives. Although the story is complete fiction, it has a historical setting where the author has taken creative liberties with incidents, characters, dates and sequence of events. With the prospect of the declaration of Emergency in 1975, the protagonist, Suresh, is forced to leave Kerala and travel to Pamban Island located between India and Sri Lanka, living in exile till 1977. The story suggests a scenario involving a highly probable nexus between the Naxals of Kerala, the LTTE in Sri Lanka and the ivory smuggler, Veerappan. The story highlights the helplessness of the tribals of Kerala against the might of the State that appropriated their forests, while the LTTE used “asymmetrical” warfare and suicide bombers to fight for their homeland.

The essays in this volume bring together historians and anthropologists to reflect on the place of history within present-day conditions. The central focus here is on aspects of the popular, on the ways in which the popular relates to the scientific, the professional, the aesthetic, the religious, the legal and the political. These essays represent a critique of the disciplinary practices of history. They examine the historian's practices and assumptions, being mainly concerned with finding a set of practices of history-writing that are both truthful and ethical. They are united by the desire to find a way out of the self-constructed cage of scientific history that has made historians wary of the popular. In his introduction, Partha Chatterjee spells out some of the requirements for this new analysis of the popular. He stresses the fact that in contemporary industrializing societies the popular should not be taken to be a homogeneous mass. On the contrary, he states, an awareness of the variety and innovativeness of the contemporary popular could rejuvenate academic historiography.

The story of Chempakavalli is a rare tale of 'Sati'(the practice of the wife jumping into the funeral pyre of the husband) in the history of Venad. Ananthan Kutty Pattar and his wife Chempakavalli, were Brahmins from Valliyur, who migrated to padmanabhapuram, fleeing from insecurity in their home land. The king of Venad who lived in padmanabhapuram, assured them that he shall protect them. He built houses for them to stay and they flourished from the textile business, which they carried on from there. One day, while returning from a business trip to the North along with his friends, Ananthan was killed by dacoits near Vaikom.The virtuous Chempakavalli, who loved her husband like a God, became shattered on hearing the news of her husband's death. She met the king of Venad and sought permission to perform 'Sati', by jumping into the funeral pyre of her husband. The stunned king, tried his best to dissuade her, but that was in vain. The king had to yield to the resolute Chempakavalli... When she came dress like an 'Apsaras'(Celestial dancers of great beauty) to the burning pyre in all virtue, and walked into the fire with confident steps, the heart of the king who was witnessing all this, burnt within... Charioted from the burning pyre to Deva Loka (Heaven), she met the Lord and received the boon to be incarnated as Yakshi Amman. Today, she dwells as a 'Devi' in Udaygiri, Melancode and in numerous yakshi temples as the bestower of prosperity and wellbeing. Chempakavalli's story is alive in the 'Vill Pattu' in the folklore tradition of Kerala's Thekkan Pattukal (Southern songs)' heritage. Vill Pattu is an important ritual art form in the Amman Kovils of Kerala and Tamilnadu, which follows the Dravidian culture of worshipping mother goddesses. the songs are a mix of Malayalam and Tamil dialects and are sung to the beats struck on the chords of a 'Vill' (bow), with bells on either end. This could be one of the longest musical instruments in the world ... Sathi Chembakavalli is the presiding deity in many temples of Southern Kerala and Tamilnadu. But her full story today, dwells only within the realm of Vill Paatu. Chempakavalli's story is being presented here through graphic illustrations on the tenets of the mural arts indegenious to Kerala.

A 2022 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title Environmental Postcolonialism: A Literary Response is an academic investigation of the environmental repercussions of colonial destruction. This volume addresses the complex interplay between postcolonialism and environmental discourse through literature produced in the ex-colonies. This literature is read from the standpoint of ex-colonies within their human and non-human context. The primary objective of this volume is to scrutinize environmental concerns in the light of postcolonial theory, and so it examines works of art from the twin perspective of eco-criticism and postcolonialism which illuminates and underscores how colonizers destroyed and interfered with both nature and culture. Through discussing the intersecting layers of ecocriticism and postcolonial criticism, the volume gestures to new directions and generates a hopeful vision of a decolonized world.
