The ArtsOctober 2020Hamir
The Fallen Prince of Ranthambore
by Arjun Anand
“I orient my ears towards the rustle. In the distant foliage, I hear not a roar but a breath, and I wish I had something more than my humble shooting machine to save my life. My heart pounds and I tighten my grip on the camera. And without warning, tearing the leaves apart, pounces out from the dark, the magnificent creature of black and yellow stripes. I forget my dread for a moment and surrender to the regal presence. And then the prince roars. And flashes its dagger-like-teeth...” Arjun Anand fell in love with Hamir at first sight. His obsession of following and chronicling the beast through his lens grew from hours to weeks to years. Now he takes us on this epic journey of the blue-eyed prince rising to become the ruler of the jungle, as it is pushed to the boundaries of the park. In doing so we witness a startling, gory collision of man and the wild. This vivid, enchanting and sincere book showcases a convergence of three elements, Ranthambore, the photographer and the journey of the man-eating tiger, Hamir. With over 150 photographs, Arjun Anand’s Hamir – The Fallen Prince of Ranthambore, takes you right into the Ranthambore National Park to witness the most enchanting beast and its bitter-sweet tale.

Nomad’s Land
by Paro Anand
‘These were girls of forever skies and snowclad mountains, yes, but that was long ago. One remembered it. Some of the time. The other girl had no memory of that place, for she was born after her family had fled their homeland. When the genocide began. These girls had their own little dreams, dreams of the now. Little girl dreams.’ Shanna and Pema, two girls growing up in a big city, meet when they join the same new school. They come from displaced communities—people who had to flee their land to escape persecution. Shanna is a Kashmiri Pandit, and Pema comes from a nomadic tribe whose people called the high mountains beyond India their home. In both their families, ‘home’ is an idea, a memory. Home is also a place that the girls don’t always understand. Shanna is dealing with the aftermath of a violent act that has forever changed her life. Pema was born in the city, but all around her are people who cling to the old customs. As Shanna and Pema become friends, they get to understand their own and each other’s stories. They discover new wells of strength within themselves and start to deal with the sadness and confusion of the adults around them. And when they find that the polluted city air is slowly killing the older people of their communities, they embark on a plan that is as brave as it is audacious. Will the forces of history allow them to succeed? As searing as it is tender, Nomad’s Land talks about the effects of terrorism and displacement on young minds. And about the healing powers of hope, friendship and reconciliation.
