When a major Pakistani political figure is hanged, OK Town erupts in protest.
A few miles away, Sir Baghi is surprised by a knock at the door of the Rebel English Academy, his tuition center that offers affordable English lessons. An unexpected visitor, Sabiha, seeks refuge at the Academy – but she has a gun, her parents are political prisoners, her husband has just died in a suspicious fire, and she’s clearly hiding something. Baghi encourages Sabiha to write, and throughout the book her life unspools on the page.
Meanwhile Captain Gul, disgraced intelligence officer, has been banished to OK Town, where he aims to silence protesters by any means necessary. But his duties – and romantic desires – begin to overlap, and his already-dubious power is further threatened.
In Rebel English Academy, Pakistan is coming into modernity, struggling under martial law after the execution of its former leader. Mohammed Hanif has constructed a vibrant cast of interconnected characters that face this changing landscape with violence, passion, and the occasional sharp humor. Wry, searing, and deeply relevant, Rebel English Academy is a triumphant new novel about political power, religion, education, sexuality, and dissent.
In the foothills of the Himalayas, a simple act upends an ancient parable. This time, it is the lady who carries the monk across the river.
Through the intertwined fates of Guru Brihaspati, his celibate disciples Kevala and Gyan, and the enigmatic Mandakini, The Lady Who Carried the Monk Across the River explores the tension between spirituality and desire, the sacred and the profane, and the elusive unity of both. As Kevala and his guru engage in a five-day debate on the meaning of a fulfilling life, the river becomes both a literal and symbolic divide, one that must be crossed daily, not just in body but in spirit.
Tautly woven with philosophy, passion, and profound questions, this novel is no sermon. It is a story of real lives, intense choices, and the irresistible force of Shakti. Can the pursuit of transcendence and the pull of earthly love coexist? In just five days, lifetimes of belief are tested, and the answers may be as fluid as the river itself.
As faith collides with longing, the story unfolds with intensity and depth, drawing readers into a world where every choice reshapes the path to enlightenment.

After three years of living together they are ready to take the next step of a big fat Indian wedding. As he begins to share the good news with his family and start preparations, Ved finds himself stretched in all directions: his mother Dolly, now divorced and madly in love with a much younger man who wants to marry her; revelations of his father Prem’s old friend from Oxford University having had a gay crush on his dad for several years; and if things weren’t complicated enough, his ex-boyfriend Akshay having left his wife and heavily wooing Ved as his one and only true love. Will things finally work out for Ved on his big day, one that he’s dreamt about all his life, with everyone else around him also demanding their own happily ever after?

कोलंबस भारत नहीं आ सका, लेकिन उसके चक्कर में आलू आ गया और उस आलू ने हमारी आबादी को जिस रफ़्तार से बढ़ाया कि दुनिया देखती रह गई। ईसाई पादरी ‘क्रिसमस नहीं मनाएँगे’, कहते रह गए मगर बाज़ार ने उसे दुनिया का त्योहार बना डाला। कभी हीर और रांझे की प्रेम कहानी ने बासमती को अमेरिका की संपत्ति बनने से बचा लिया, तो कहीं परंपरा के नाम पर महिलाओं का पोषण ही रोक दिया गया। कभी एक फ़ास्टफ़ूड कंपनी ने कहा कि फ़ेमिनिस्ट होने का मतलब है खाना न पकाना, तो कभी केलों के व्यापार ने सरकारों को तानाशाह बना दिया। अगर अब्राहम लिंकन की वजह से बंबई को उसकी पावभाजी मिली, तो कोला कंपनियों ने खेल को धर्म और खिलाड़ियों को भगवान बनाया। रोटियों से क्रांति करने और नमक से सत्ता गिराने वाले देश में इतिहास की थाली इन तमाम घटनाओं के साथ-साथ, बिरयानी से लेकर 1947 के बँटवारे तक को एक नई नज़र से देखने की क्षमता देती है। क्योंकि हमारे हर निवाले में स्वाद के साथ-साथ इतिहास, व्यापार, संस्कृति, पहचान और साज़िशों की पूरी दुनिया छिपी होती होती है।

‘काय हवं आहे?’
टोकियोच्या समंजस ग्रंथपाल हा प्रश्न विचारतात.
ग्रंथालयात येणारी प्रत्येक व्यक्ती कशाचा शोध घेत आहे, तिला नेमकं काय हवं आहे, हे सायूरी कोमाचीना न सांगता समजतं. आणि तिचा शोध सफल व्हावा, ह्यासाठी त्या योग्य पुस्तकाची शिफारस करतात.
अस्वस्थ विक्रेता साहाय्यकाला नवी कौशल्यं शिकायची आहेत. बाळंतपणाच्या रजेनंतर कामावर रुजू झालेली आई पदावनतीमुळं आलेल्या नैराश्यातून बाहेर पडायचा प्रयत्न करत आहे. प्रामाणिक लेखापालाला पुरातन वस्तूंचं दुकान उघडायची तळमळ आहे. अलीकडेच निवृत्त झालेला कर्मचारी आयुष्याचा नवा अर्थ शोधत आहे.
ह्या प्रत्येकाला कोमाचींनी सुचवलेल्या विलक्षण पुस्तकामध्ये आपली स्वप्नं साकार करण्याचे मार्ग सापडतात.
‘तुम्ही जे शोधत आहात, ते ग्रंथालयात मिळेल’ हे पुस्तक ग्रंथालयांची अद्भुत दुनिया आणि परस्परसंबंधांची जाणीव ह्याविषयी आहे. हृदयाची धडधड काय सांगते हे लक्षपूर्वक ऐकलं, समोरून आलेली संधी सोडली नाही आणि मनमोकळेपणानं बोललात, तर तुम्ही दीर्घकाळ पाहिलेली स्वप्नं साकार होतील असं सांगणाऱ्या प्रेरणादायी कहाण्या ह्या पुस्तकात वाचायला मिळतील.
The system of nation-states is in convulsion. As American hegemony unwinds, anxious Western countries slide into xenophobia and debt. Liberal ideas and institutions are losing their prestige; autocracies like China, Russia, and the UAE, by contrast, are rising. For those most completely abandoned by nation-states, meanwhile, there is no future except through life-threatening migration. All in all, the global political order offers human beings ever fewer securities—and ever more threats.
Rana Dasgupta traces the formation and rise of this system in order to explain the cause of its multiple failures today. He takes us from the fall of ancient empires and the expansion of European concepts of money and law, right up to the emergence of twenty-first-century tech firms—which present formidable competition to nation-states—and the epochal restoration of Chinese power. He posits that the time has come to develop a new conception of citizenship, law, and economy—one that corresponds to our own globalized and ecologically fragile condition.
An urgent work of astute political and historical analysis, After Nations is an essential text for anyone looking to understand why we seem to be losing our political hold on the world, and how we might try to restore it.
