Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Partition continues to cast its long shadow on the Indian psyche. Puran Chand, who migrated from Pakistan on foot when he was just nine years old, spends his life mastering the art of reinvention: a farmhand in his childhood, he became an army soldier at eighteen, only to be relieved pension-less eight years later, having lost his left hand in an off-duty accident. Struggling to make ends meet, the newly-married Puran takes up any job that comes his wayoffice peon, shopkeeper, street vendorgradually becoming a small landowning farmer. In the winter of his life, Puran lives in the lap of comforts in Chandigarh as his children have risen to coveted roles across industriesparticularly, son Govardhan Gabbi, a noted Punjabi writer, and granddaughter Wamiqa Gabbi, a popular actress working in Punjabi and Hindi films. Yet mundane anxieties, such as pending bills and chores, as well as the longing to visit his village often grip him, confounding the young in the family. As Puran looks back on his life, what emerges is a tale that illuminates both the mutual and the individual impressions left behind by historical events on successive generations of a family and a people. Govardhan Gabbi's Puran Gaatha: A Partition Saga is a heart-warming addition to the literature on the Partition, which is an ongoing negotiation with the world and the selfa ceaseless spring of stories of resilience and the trials of rebuilding one's life from scratch in a new homeland.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Professor Wankhede's life-trajectory helps me to expand my horizon, and sharpen the liberating power of empathy. I being to understand what it means for a young Dalit to resist the tyranny of hierarchiacal/oppressive practices implicit in a caste-ridden society, overcome the age-old silence, acquire a new language of resistance, strive for the light of emancipator education, and establish himself as a distinguished sociologist/educationist. This blend of biography and history, or lived-experience and rigour of analysis has given a refreshingly different meaning to the book that ought to be read by all those who have not yet lost their dreams. -Avijit Pathak, Professor of Sociology at JNU Although there are few autobiographies written by Dalit literati and activists, this is the first by a Dalit academic sociologist. It is self-reflective and not anecdotal. It provides glimpses of Dr. Ambedar's Samta Sainik Dal (SSD), a social movement for inculcating social and educational awareness among Dalits of Maharashtra during the 1950s.As a sociologist, the author provides ethnographic information of his village society in general and the Dalit habitat, in particular, social role formation among siblings, community culture and power relations in everyday social life, education institutional network in a non-metropolitan area and role of Dalits. Prof. Wankhede not only tells us his story but also his critical views on education policy and its functioning. His reflections on the present education system offer valuable Dalit perspective. The book would be useful for students and researchers of sociology and anthropology, and also, anyone who is interested to understand the lifeworld of the first generation educated Dalit. -Ghanshyam Shah, Former Professor of JNU.…
