When 12-year-old Sophie Shepherd is orphaned after a motor accident she is left scarred both physically and emotionally. Recovery is slow - first at hospital, and then living with her only blood relative, her aunt. Her nightmares torment her and Sophie is withdrawn and fragile. But rather than support her, a jealous and cruel uncle-in-law destroys her life all over again. Dumped in rural Bangladesh without warning, with an uncle she didn't even know existed, who she hates, and who doesn't want her there, Sophie has to come to terms with grief, loss, and a totally alien culture. Her Uncle Joshua can't abide the girl and won't entertain the idea of dealing with this head-strong teenage girl. Nothing is allowed to interrupt his beloved bachelorhood and peaceful tranquility, with which he has bound up and silenced his own hurts for a long time. The only one he allows into his trust is the beautiful Didi who serves him faithfully.Together, they start to find out how to accept one other and find a way through the troubles forced upon them. Sophie begins to find friends and allies in the strangest of circumstances and learns that first impressions can be wrong, very wrong. In the middle of all this, literally, is the pukur, sitting there ominously calling to Sophie, inexplicably bringing peace to her uncle while increasingly confronting Sophie with her demons. As her nightmares threaten to consume her from within, Sophie finds her fate is entirely entwined in the dark depths of the pukur.

Bends and Shades is a profile of a life journey. As the surrounding setting, societal values and practices underwent unexpected changes, that life would be seen in a new perspective with every bend. Unprecedented political developments in the India-Pakistan-Bangladesh subcontinent impacted that journey too as did the evolving social fabric of life in the context of different faiths, discrete practices, and divergent but often conducive community living. Some of these bends touch upon the specific characteristics of certain races and societies while other bends capture historical specifics pertaining to geo-political conflicts including the Taliban phenomena and current fight against terrorism. Another touches upon the enigma faced by many immigrants, particularly in raising children in foreign lands, and highlights the need for better integration with their adopted society. As each bend in a river is shaded with different fragrance, so too the bends in the long arc of life

Thieves were not necessarily looked down upon in India as villains or parasites. In this country, besides mythological thieves, there were legendary thieves who are alive in collective and individual memory. In the Barak Valley region of Assam there was the concept of baadi rakhal, or the protector of the household, which happened to be a snake. The venomous snake was religiously worshipped and believed to be the protector of the household from all danger! Similarly, almost all villages had their own and well-known thief, who would punish the disloyal in the locality by breaking into his house and protect the loyal households from any other burglar from outside or inside the village. He was duly revered as a hero and substantially compensated. The great thieves of that time inflicted no harm to the weak and poor and enjoyed the power and prestige as admissible to a person who would practice a respectable profession. Different localities in that region had many such hero thieves, one at a time in a particular territory. Here is a story of such a well-known thief.

As a child, Eugene happily grew up in a large middle-class family with his mother in a rural village while his father worked away in Darjeeling, India. On September 5, 1962, a tragedy struck his family shattering their dreams, their happiness and their life. Eugene was only ten. Consequently, it left him in a dead end, an unknown world completely lost without hope, love, and security. The volatile vulnerability in a boarding house; the aftermath of the famine and the flood as well as the atrocity of war and crossing to India on foot, nearly cost his life. Eugene pledged himself; nothing was going to deter him from achieving his success. With initiative and perseverance, he risked his life and plunged into the unknown. In the process, he went through fire and water yet he believed in his instinct and followed his heart. In the end, Eugene achieved something extraordinary. The Endless Night is not simply a true story about his childhood and young adulthood, it is also about to connect with the young generation, not just teaching them to value life but also helping them to understand why they want to value others. It is a captivating, amusing, adventurous, and inspiring book.

The book's originality and importance lies in its multi-disciplinary approach which combines anthropological fieldwork, historical research, philosophical enquiry and contemporary missiological debates.

The tribal areas of central and eastern India have been under the intractable shadow of left-wing extremism in recent years, fuelling a serious internal crisis in the country. While the clashes between the Maoists and the State have been highlighted by the media, academics and others, the situation of the people caught between the crossfire has often been overlooked. Kindling of an Insurrection provides a gripping account of the lives of people in the conflict-affected district of Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal as experienced by a District Collector. By focusing on the plight of the people of Junglemahals — the term for the forested areas of the region — the author draws attention to the harsh living conditions, unstable occupations and almost non-existent education, highlighting the people’s lack of access to developmental schemes implemented by the government and non-governmental organisations. Based on extensive tour notes, the narrative attempts a subtle balance between a personal diary and official documentation, bringing to fore complexities, challenges and dynamics of the ground reality as also the administrative work carried out in the region. Accompanied by photographs, this book offers a rare chronicle of life in rural West Bengal, exposing the roots of the alienation of marginalised tribal communities, and the circumstances leading to the rise of an insurrection within the nation’s heartland. Authoritative and lucid, the book will be indispensable for scholars and researchers in the areas of public administration, social work, development studies, social anthropology and politics. It will also prove useful to policy makers, journalists and the general reader interested in West Bengal and left-wing extremism.
