Description: Women’s voices no longer record only women’s confinement in kitchens and backyards and their victimhood. They speak of invisible enclosures around individuals, insurmountable barriers in much widened scenarios of the world. The twenty nine short stories in this volume bring together varieties of themes, multifocal narratives, strange figures, unusual metaphors and alternative world views. Underlying is all these is a quest for a just and equitable world. No subject such as Dalit, Minority, tribal issues, farmers’ distress, newer forms of exploitation in highly technological spaces under the impact of Globalization, and existential quest escapes the pens and perception of these marvelous Telugu women writers. More than a dozen translators enthusiastically lent their creative skills to bring these rich stories to English readership. The transformation of women from victims to survivors to saviours would have been amazing if men and women, worked together to build a casteless, classless, environmental friendly society. Which Our writers aspire for..

Description: "From Hampi to Harappa" is considered among the top ten Telugu autobiographies of the twentieth century. Ramachandra's honesty, self-reflection, and the conflict between his traditional Vaishnava beliefs and modern education make this book remarkable. During the nationalist struggle, he was attracted to extremist ideas but found his own path again through personal struggles. It's astonishing that someone who was a great scholar in Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada, and Prakrit, had to experience hunger and travel across India to find work to feed himself in the 1930s and 40s. The book is filled with unbelievable incidents, such as his mentor Veturi Prabhakara Sastry experiencing extreme hunger while the author survived on very little food. Similarly, he survived on Ganga water for almost a month while waiting in Kanpur for a conman who had promised a business partnership. He did a variety of jobs, including working as a cataloguer in manuscript libraries, a hotel worker, and a Havaldar clerk in the military, before finally settling in a newspaper. Through his experiences, Ramachandra provides us with glimpses of the civilizations around Hampi and Harappa and insights into modern India during the Independence Movement.
