FictionJanuary 2018Victims for Sale
by Nish Amarnath
A fledgling TV reporter fights to expose a crime ring where mentally challenged women are sexually abused and forcibly sterilized. Sandy swaps a TV gig in Mumbai for life as a media researcher and BBC stringer in London, where she arranges to live as a paying guest with the Sawants, The Sawants are a regular quiet Indian family. Or so she thinks. But her first night at the Sawants' home finds her waking up to a young woman with a knife at her throat...and a dark secret. An ominous stranger is found snooping on the Sawants' porch, weeks later. The family seems to be hiding something. It's only after Sandy runs a sting operation on a care home for differently-abled women that she makes a connection between an institute acting as a front for a sinister nexus and the odd family she lives with. Chasing the truth up a trail of brutal murders, Sandy must expose the predators and step up to the deranged kingpin of a thriving sex racket. Before time runs out. For fans of Stieg Larsson's 'The Girl Who Played with Fire' and Sophie Hannah's 'A Room Swept White', this debut psychological thriller and crime suspense novel, set in London, is a strident expose on an under-reported form of social injustice where the line of distinction between the betrayer and the betrayed increasingly fades into oblivion.

Literature & Literary StudiesDecember 2016Spark of Light
Short Stories by Women Writers of Odisha
by Edited by Valerie Henitiuk and Supriya Kar
Spark of Light is a diverse collection of short stories by women writers from the Indian province of Odisha. Originally written in Odia and dating from the late nineteenth century to the present, these stories offer a multiplicity of voices—some sentimental and melodramatic, others rebellious and bold—and capture the predicament of characters who often live on the margins of society. From a spectrum of viewpoints, writing styles, and motifs, the stories included here provide examples of the great richness of Odishan literary culture. In the often shadowy and grim world depicted in this collection, themes of class, poverty, violence, and family are developed. Together they form a critique of social mores and illuminate the difficult lives of the subaltern in Odisha society. The work of these authors contributes to an ongoing dialogue concerning the challenges, hardships, joys, and successes experienced by women around the world. In these provocative explorations of the short-story form, we discover the voices of these rarely heard women. To learn more about this publisher, click here: http://bit.ly/1ZT7e56

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2021Reproductive Politics and the Makings of Modern India
by Mytheli Sreenivas
In modern India, reforming individual reproduction, through changing marriage practices or the introduction of birth control, became a means to shape the life of the population as a whole. Mytheli Sreenivas traces moments when social actors questioned the wide-ranging, complex, and sometimes contradictory politics of reproduction, asking how practices associated with biological reproduction, and the social meanings attached to these practices, became the target of public debate and contestation. She reveals the intimate imbrication of population concerns with reproductive politics and the economy, and suggests that the ideologies and institutions that encouraged the government to intervene in the reproductive lives of its subjects were not mid-twentieth-century inventions, but arose from concerns that first took shape in colonial India. Exploring the wide implications of these policies and programs, Sreenivas challenges some of the fundamental assumptions that underpin reproductive politics today, in India and transnationally.
