रवीन्द्रनाथ ठाकुर को उनके अपने ही वर्तमान में कठिन चुनौतियाँ मिलने लगी थीं। वे, जिस प्रकार परम्परा को आत्मसात करते हुए—विशेष रूप से अपनी काव्य-सृष्टि में—आधुनिक भारत की विचार-सरणी निर्मित कर रहे थे, उसे अति-उत्साही आधुनिक अपने लिए संकट के रूप में देखने लगे थे। सम्भवत: इसीलिए, विश्वकवि ने अपनी इस कथा-कृति में कविताओं के माध्यम से अपना ही मूल्यांकन भी किया है।

ईर्ष्या और प्रेम, दोनों में ही स्त्री का अन्तर्संघर्ष शरद पूर्णिमा की ज्योत्स्ना में उद्वेलित समुद्र के दुर्दमनीय ज्वार की भाँति होता है, लेकिन यदि उसे मर्यादा के पिंजरे में बन्द कर दिया जाए, तो स्त्री की आत्म-प्रताड़णा भी उतनी ही प्रचंड हो उठती है। पुरुष इन्हीं स्थितियों के बीच कहीं खिलौना बनता है, कहीं स्त्री का भाग्य-निर्णायक। परिवार और समाज स्त्री और पुरुष को सँभाले अपनी मान्यताओं के झोंकों से जीवन की नाव को खेते रहते हैं। जीवन यों ही गतिमान रहता है...

जब रवीन्द्रनाथ उपन्यासों में अपने काल के समाज को सँजो रहे थे, तब स्त्री अपने व्यक्तित्व के प्रति सजग होना प्रारम्भ ही हुई थी। ‘चोखेर बालि’ को पढ़ने से इस बात की पुष्टि हो जाएगी।

Drawn into a dangerous mystery spanning industrial sabotage, stolen scientific breakthroughs, and high-stakes deception, DuBose must use every ounce of his intelligence and courage to trace the symbol's origins and uncover its meaning.

As he delves deeper, the golden spider reveals a tangled web of hidden identities, coded messages, and an enemy who moves silently through the shadows.

The manor on top of the hill—a remnant of British colonization—bears scars of violence. Locals murmur of gruesome murders that have stained its past and ghosts that lurk in its corners.

Decades ago, when young Eesho had first arrived at the bungalow as the supervisor of the rubber plantation, along with his wife and their faithful dog, life had seemed blissful. But beneath the quiet, unrest simmered as estate workers banded together against the owners, and whispers of a rising radical-left Naxalite movement grew louder. As the turmoil escalated, it threatened to sweep away everything that Eesho held dear.

Now, even as Aleyamma is consumed with grief over the loss of her grandfather, the dark history of her inheritance makes its presence known. Estranged from her Syrian Christian family, Aleyamma sets out to untangle the knots of the past. What stories will she uncover? Will she be able to draw strength from them to confront the present?

Set in the verdant rubber plantations of Kerala, The Remnants of Rebellion is an enthralling debut novel by Ponnu Elizabeth Mathew that spans three generations. It is a story of rebellions—both personal and political—and of people caught in the aftermath of colonization.","published_at":"2025-07-01T02:29:15-04:00","created_at":"2025-07-01T02:29:13-04:00","updated_at":"2025-07-01T12:44:11-04:00","vendor":"Rupa Publications","product_type":"Books","tags":["Aleph Book Company","new release","new release july 2025","Ponnu Elizabeth Mathew","rupa publication"],"variants":[{"id":48289127366893,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"price":"879.00","grams":427,"compare_at_price":"899.00","position":1,"product_id":9036825592045,"created_at":"2025-07-01T02:29:13-04:00","updated_at":"2025-07-01T12:44:11-04:00"}],"images":[{"id":44081371250925,"created_at":"2025-07-01T02:29:13-04:00","position":1,"updated_at":"2025-07-01T02:29:46-04:00","product_id":9036825592045,"variant_ids":[],"src":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0355/1415/5141/files/DJQCyWG7gO.jpg?v=1751351386","width":320,"height":466},{"id":44081371152621,"created_at":"2025-07-01T02:29:13-04:00","position":2,"updated_at":"2025-07-01T02:29:46-04:00","product_id":9036825592045,"variant_ids":[],"src":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0355/1415/5141/files/JVAkf42uPl.jpg?v=1751351386","width":311,"height":466}],"options":[{"name":"Title","position":1,"values":["Default Title"]}]},{"id":9036799181037,"title":"A New History of India for Children: From Its Origins to the Twenty-first Century","handle":"a-new-history-of-india-for-children-from-its-origins-to-the-twenty-first-century","body_html":"In A New History of India for Children, award-winning historian Rudrangshu Mukherjee along with photographer–archivist Toby Sinclair and the late cultural historian Shobita Punja, tell the story of one of the oldest, most diverse countries in the world with simplicity and clarity. The book touches upon all the most important milestones in India’s history, from the first dinosaurs to roam its lands to the metro that snakes through its modern, metropolitan capital city.

It begins in prehistory, billions of years ago, describing how the geography of India came to be what it is today, and traces the evolution of Indian civilization through key events and people. What began with the Harappan Culture grew and flourished under the Maurya and Gupta empires, was enriched by the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal empire, and went on to be colonized and exploited by the British Raj.

It provides the country with over 40 per cent of its parliamentarians and determines the contours of national politics (out of the fifteen prime ministers India has had since 1947, eight have been from the Hindi belt). Yet, despite its political significance, the Hindi belt is among the most impoverished regions in the country. It consumes the bulk of the country’s resources, but lags behind other states on various economic and welfare indices. It is plagued by violence, illiteracy, unemployment, corruption, poor life expectancy, and numerous other ills.

Centuries of war, conquests, invasions, political movements, and religious unrest have made the heartland a place of immense paradox. Despite its extraordinary and timeless religious heritage—some of the country’s most revered spiritual leaders were born here and it is home to innumerable shrines and places of pilgrimage—it has also witnessed some of the worst communal riots in the country and has been troubled by long-running, divisive sectarian politics. Many of India’s founders, who gave the country its secular identity, hailed from the heartland, but so too did those who have spread religious discord. And the land of Ganga–Jamuni tehzeeb routinely witnesses lynching and murder in the name of religion.

The book is divided into five sections. Section I explores the geography of the region, which stretches from Rajasthan in the west to Jharkhand in the east with Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh in between. The author then looks at caste, religion, the rural–urban divide, and the tribes who belong to the region. In the chapter on the economy, she attempts to show how the economic backwardness of the Hindi belt has come about through faulty and myopic post- Independence policies conceived by various governments—these have come in the way of sustained and inclusive development. The chapter on language chronicles both the emergence of Hindi as the primary lingua franca of this region at the cost of other languages, as well as the politics that linked language with religion. The last chapter in this section explores the influence of the heartland on what is today popularly understood to be Indian culture.

Section II looks at the medieval and modern history of the region and covers the emergence of the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughals, the Marathas, and the East India Company.

Section III examines British colonialism through the lens of empire building, and shows how the imperialists distorted history to facilitate their divide and rule policy. It also dwells on the deliberate economic impoverishment of the Hindi belt and how this continues to impact the region even after Independence.

Section IV analyses the freedom struggle—and covers among other things the emergence of the idea of India and the increasing Hinduization of that idea. It establishes the Hindi belt’s criticality to Gandhi’s satyagraha, and the success of the British Indian government’s experiments with strategies that divided communities, which eventually led to the partition of the country.

Section V appraises developments in the region after Independence. It outlines the government’s struggle to rehabilitate refugees coming in from the west and the adoption of a liberal Constitution for the citizens of the newly independent nation. It examines the Hindi belt’s political peculiarity—the metamorphosis of the socialist movement into a movement that ended up furthering caste and religious divisions in the region; the book analyses the rise of temple politics (incidentally, all three temples that are mired in disputes and controversy are located in the Hindi belt) that threaten the very idea of a multi-religious, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual India that has held sway for almost a century.

Given its disproportionate influence on the nation’s politics, culture, and identity, it is surprising that there has never been an authoritative history and account of the region until now. Based on meticulous research and interviews with key stakeholders, award-winning journalist and writer Ghazala Wahab, a native of the region, gives us a magisterial account of the Hindi heartland. \"","published_at":"2025-07-01T01:15:54-04:00","created_at":"2025-07-01T01:15:51-04:00","updated_at":"2025-07-01T12:44:11-04:00","vendor":"Rupa Publications","product_type":"Books","tags":["Aleph Book Company","Ghazala Wahab","New release","New release july 2025","Rupa Publication"],"variants":[{"id":48288687030509,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"price":"979.00","grams":490,"compare_at_price":"999.00","position":1,"product_id":9036797051117,"created_at":"2025-07-01T01:15:51-04:00","updated_at":"2025-07-01T12:44:11-04:00"}],"images":[{"id":44079633039597,"created_at":"2025-07-01T01:15:51-04:00","position":1,"updated_at":"2025-07-01T01:15:53-04:00","product_id":9036797051117,"variant_ids":[],"src":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0355/1415/5141/files/LVs5fBgHKr.jpg?v=1751346953","width":299,"height":425}],"options":[{"name":"Title","position":1,"values":["Default Title"]}]},{"id":9036768149741,"title":"Geronimo Stilton #65: Bollywood Burglary","handle":"geronimo-stilton-65-bollywood-burglary","body_html":"My detective friend Hercule Poirat and I were headed to India.

In her new start-up, she wants to revolutionize childcare for young woman professionals-this is her ultimate goal. Plus, she's in a hurry to do it all.

In comes Dhiren, who has made and lost his money in cryptocurrency. He takes up the first floor of Aishwarya's nursery building and, by a queer coincidence, begins to work for her. Her friends Smriti and Vinny, as protective as mother hens, warn her against Dhiren. There is something that he's hiding along with his friend Neeraj-they just don't know what.

क्या अद्वैता को इस उलझन का कोई सिरा मिला? क्या उसका प्यार रघु के दिल के दर्द की दवा बन सका? क्या टूटे दिलवाले को कोई जोड़ सका? जवाब है आपके हाथ में थमी इस किताब में!","published_at":"2025-06-27T06:07:05-04:00","created_at":"2025-06-27T06:07:02-04:00","updated_at":"2025-07-01T12:44:11-04:00","vendor":"Prakash Books","product_type":"Books","tags":["Durjoy Datta","Durjoy Datta Collection","New hindi book","new release","penguin india","prakash book"],"variants":[{"id":48275472056557,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"price":"245.00","grams":240,"compare_at_price":"250.00","position":1,"product_id":9033976381677,"created_at":"2025-06-27T06:07:03-04:00","updated_at":"2025-07-01T12:44:11-04:00"}],"images":[{"id":44033939767533,"created_at":"2025-06-27T06:07:03-04:00","position":1,"updated_at":"2025-06-27T06:07:04-04:00","product_id":9033976381677,"variant_ids":[],"src":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0355/1415/5141/files/6avGlrvI1e.jpg?v=1751018824","width":301,"height":466}],"options":[{"name":"Title","position":1,"values":["Default Title"]}]},{"id":9033972777197,"title":"Wish I Could Tell You","handle":"wish-i-could-tell-you","body_html":"Can you find yourself after you have lost that special someone?
A disillusioned and heartbroken Anusha finds herself in the small world of WeDonate.com. Struggling to cope with her feelings and the job of raising money for charity, she reluctantly searches for a worthwhile cause to support.
For Ananth, who has been on the opposite side, no life is less worthy, no cause too small to support.
Behind them are teams for whom going to extraordinary lengths to save lives is more than a full-time occupation. In front of them is the virtual world of social media-watching, interacting, judging, making choices, and sometimes, saving lives.
From the virtual to the real, their lives and that of their families, entangle in a way that moving together is the only solution. They can't escape each other.
In this world of complicated relationships, should love be such a difficult ride?","published_at":"2025-06-27T06:02:24-04:00","created_at":"2025-06-27T06:02:21-04:00","updated_at":"2025-07-01T12:44:11-04:00","vendor":"Prakash Books","product_type":"Books","tags":["Durjoy Datta","Durjoy Datta Collection","New english book","new release","penguin india","prakash book"],"variants":[{"id":48275467108589,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"price":"190.00","grams":190,"compare_at_price":"199.00","position":1,"product_id":9033972777197,"created_at":"2025-06-27T06:02:22-04:00","updated_at":"2025-07-01T12:44:11-04:00"}],"images":[{"id":44033911685357,"created_at":"2025-06-27T06:02:21-04:00","position":1,"updated_at":"2025-06-27T06:02:23-04:00","product_id":9033972777197,"variant_ids":[],"src":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0355/1415/5141/files/tEMEBI2eCF.jpg?v=1751018543","width":293,"height":445}],"options":[{"name":"Title","position":1,"values":["Default Title"]}]},{"id":9033969008877,"title":"Hamara Impossible Love - Hindi","handle":"hamara-impossible-love-hindi","body_html":"Life teaches us what 'love' truly is

Avantika is an investment banker, an ambitious go-getter and the exact opposite of Deb-a corporate professional turned failed writer, turned scripter of saas-bahu serials.
They've been together for ten years, surviving everything from college to rave parties to annoying best friends, including Shrey, who has no respect for personal boundaries, and Vernita and Tanmay-the annoying yet enviable 'it' couple who seem to have it all.
Now Avantika wants to take the next step. But will Deb be able to catch up? Or will it rip them apart? No matter how hard he tries, Deb can't convince Avantika that he's the one for her. Not as long as she is broken and her past looms in the background-pushing her, troubling her, goading her to question if their love is enough.
Will Deb be able to find their perfect place?

We are in the car. She’s looking at me. I can see the love in her eyes for me. Then a huge crash. She’s flung out of the window. I’m thrown out too. A pool of blood. Her eyes are still on me... but now it’s a death stare. I am Daman and I wake up to this nightmare. Every. Single. Day.

Waking up from a long coma, Daman learns that he was in a massive car crash with a girl who vanished soon after the accident, leaving him for dead.

Strangely, all he remembers is a hazy face, her hypnotic eyes, and her name—Shreyasi. To come to terms with his memory lapse he starts piecing together stories about himself and Shreyasi from his dreams, which he then turns into a hugely popular blog.

When he’s offered a lucrative publishing deal to convert his blog pieces into a novel, he signs up immediately. However, he gives in to editorial pressure and agrees to corrupt the original edgy character of Shreyasi.

Big mistake.

From then on Daman is stalked and threatened by a terrifying beauty who claims to be Shreyasi and who will stop at nothing to make him pay for being a sell-out. Before Daman fights back, he needs to know: Is she really who she claims to be? What does she want from him now? What if he doesn’t do what she wants him to?

The Girl of My Dreams is definitely not your usual love story.

Raghu likes to show that there is nothing remarkable about his life—loving, middle-class parents, an elder brother he looks up to and plans to study in an IIT. And that’s how he wants things to seem—normal.

Deep down, however, the guilt of letting his closest friend drown in the school’s swimming pool gnaws at him. And even as he punishes himself by hiding from the world and shying away from love and friendship, he feels drawn to the fascinating Brahmi—a girl quite like him, yet so different. No matter how hard Raghu tries, he begins to care . . . Then life throws him into the deep end and he has to face his worst fears.

Will love be strong enough to pull him out?
