Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. The frontiers of any country have been known for centuries for their wars, romance, songs and dances and most importantly for their colourful and beautiful people. In British India, too, the North-West and North-East Frontiers were very unlike the rest of the sub-continent. To gain the support and affection of the peoples who lived in these mountainous tracts required a different approach to administration. The administrators who were sent out to these frontiers, more often than not had military backgrounds. Rules are for Fools was often what they believed in and they were prepared to live and work in very trying circumstances. Jawaharlal Nehru saw good reason to continue with this system after India s Independence. A unique administrative service for NEFA and the Hill Tracts of North East India was set up. This service comprised mainly of officers from the armed forces. Lala Bimalendu Kumar Dey was one such person who fitted the slot ideally a man who held duty to the country and its people above all else. He was also one who loved to ride alone deep into the forests where he restored his clarity and composure, gaining wisdom and strength from the world of nature and the voice of his own conscience. From Sylhet to Shillong, he bore the journey and life s challenges and excitement with true grit. Bijoya Sawian, his daughter, tells his remarkable story with the insight and perspective that only an insider can have.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. Shadow Men A thick mist envelops an isolated house and a cottage atop a hill. Raseel, looking out from her window, hears the sound of shots. Suddenly the mist parts, and three men come into view, furtive, quick. Then they are gone, and there is silence. Raseel, visiting her old school friend Aila in Shillong, is determined to get to the truth behind the strange death of a dkhar , an outsider, in the grounds of her hosts house. Why was he killed? Who are the killers? As she begins to unravel the mystery, Raseel finds herself caught in a tale of intrigue and violence that mirrors the world of insurgency around her. The tense and dramatic undercurrents that emerge in Shadow Men continue in the stories that follow. In The Flight , eighteen-year-old Mawii has to make a difficult decision between her own people and her one true love when that love involves a vai yet another word for outsider . And in The Limp , octogenarian Nipendro Roy finally feels he belongs in this hill state to which he came as a twenty-year-old immigrant from Bengal. Shillong remains the true hero in these stories, as Bijoya Sawian draws the reader into a world where the downside of a matrilineal society, the scourge of drugs, alcohol and corrupt politicians, the disconnect with mainstream India, and above all, the fight for identity and belonging, threaten to rock this idyllic hill state that was once a paradise and, perhaps, no longer is.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On a rainy afternoon in Cherrapunji, the postman arrives with a letter for fourteen-year-old Saphira, and her life will never be the same. Dalinia, meanwhile, seems to have the perfect life: successful husband, cute children, a beautiful home. But her troubled past refuses to disappear, and the emergence of a handsome competitor at the local golf course brings it back in disturbing fashion. Written in a lyrical, yet plainspoken style, this collection of ten short stories tell of love, loss, and longing, set against the brilliantly realized backdrop of contemporary Meghalaya, in India's northeast. Readers of contemporary fiction will find themselves transported-into other lives and other places-but they will recognize the dilemmas, the heartbreaks, and the emotions as those common to all humanity. On a rainy afternoon in Cherrapunji, the postman arrives with a letter for fourteen-year-old Saphira, and her life will never be the same. Dalinia, meanwhile, seems to have the perfect life: successful husband, cute children, a beautiful home. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
