Fire Bird
Winner of the JCB Prize for Literature 2023
Fire Bird is a masterfully crafted tale of one man’s search for the elusive concept of permanence. Muthu has his world turned upside down when his father divides the family land, leaving him with practically nothing and causing irreparable damage to his family’s bonds. Through the unscrupulous actions of his once-revered eldest brother, Muthu is forced to leave his once-perfect world behind and seek out a new life for himself, his wife and his children.
In this transcendental novel, Perumal Murugan draws from his own life experiences of displacement and movement, and explores the fragility of our fundamental attraction to permanence and our ultimately futile efforts to attain it. Translated from the nearly untranslatable Aalandapatchi, which alludes to a mystical bird in Tamil, the titular fire bird perfectly encapsulates the illusory and migratory nature of this pursuit.
Fire Bird is a thought-provoking and beautifully written exploration of the human desire for stability in an ever-changing world.

Birds in Flight
Come, sit on these pages awhile to admire, ponder over, and sometimes get lost in the profound wisdom and hidden truths of these fleeting creations that Joginder Paul offers.
Bird in Flight, a volume of afsanche (flash fiction) by Paul, brings to you another facet of his artistry. These micro stories are slices of life that have been transmuted into sparkling gems of creativity. With such constraint on the use of words and so much abandon in meaning making, the reader is sure to feel the expanse of the artist’s vision captured consummately within the confines of the brevity of the microfiction form.
Though known for his short stories and novels, Joginder Paul has been a pioneer of the afsanche form in Urdu literary writing. These short shorts are as much the reader’s as they are the author’s, and the translator’s, because they invite creative participation. And yet they have an autonomy that makes them experiences to be felt rather than narratives to be read—such is the genius of Paul’s musings.
Silk Route
Nishikant leads a quiet life, going for long walks around Pune with his older sister, fantasizing about the handsome next-door neighbor and lingering in bookstores while dreaming of being a writer. But when a love affair claims his sister’s life and takes the handsome neighbour far away from him, his middle-class parents pack him off to Mumbai to shield him from the scandal. Through his relationships with Shiv in Mumbai, and later with Sreenivas, in London, Nishikant is able to break apart the shackles his past have placed on him. When Nishikant moves back to Mumbai, he has become a writer and a professor and the only escape from his solitary existence are the long letters he receives from Srinivas , until one day, Sreenivas disappears mysteriously.
Silk Route translated from the Marathi Reshim Marg, invites readers to go on a journey along with Nishikant on his many travels through cities and people in a way that has rarely been seen in Indian literature. As the series’ first part, the novel lays the groundwork for this expansive narrative journey that questions love, identity and the false veneer of societal expectations.
Trial by Water
In 1947, the Indian subcontinent was partitioned, and Pakistan was born. A shared heritage, a composite culture and centuries-old bonds between people, all seemed to vanish overnight. Nowhere was this rupture more profound than in the Indus Basin—once a unified lifeline of the region, now fragmented by sovereign borders, its rivers flowing through two nations immediately at odds with each other.
The Indus Waters Treaty was signed in 1960, proving that even bitter adversaries could cooperate over shared resources. Yet, it never brought lasting peace. The treaty was suspended by India in April 2025 as a punitive measure in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, and its future remains shrouded in uncertainty. Can it still endure and adapt? Perhaps the time has come for a new arrangement—one that is not just inevitable but essential.
This book traces the turbulent history of the Indus Basin and examines how the Indus Waters Treaty has been shaped by the region’s ever-evolving political dynamics. It explores the role of key leaders on both sides, as well as external pressures, in shaping and reshaping one of the world’s most critical transboundary water agreements.
The Indus Basin has been a witness to conflict, compromise and survival. And if you seek to understand the true nature of India–Pakistan relations, start with the rivers that bind them. Trial by Water leads us in that direction.

At its core, the book is an ode to friendship. It is as much about an artist trying to find his place in the world as it is about the people who help him do so. Ultimately, Hundred Greatest Love Songs serves as a testament to the healing power of poetry and proves that literature, art and music can save lives.
