This volume is steeped in the glory of a Mughal Court and besieged with the fear of sedition and rebellion amongst the royals, who treat every hour as a march towards ‘Takht Ya Taboot!’ ‘The Throne’ is for one … ‘the coffin’ lures many! This historical fiction brings alive the royals, courtiers, battlefields and the groaning forts as we travel with Khurram Shahjahan ‘Be-daulat’ in his quest to regain the royal affection of his father, manipulated and sedated by Empress Nurjahan and the treacherous court. A riveting read, the Jhelum Betrayal explodes with an uncanny insight into the steaming cauldron of sex, greed, fratricide, opulence and the drama of the Great Mughals.

On a cold February night in 1991, a group of soldiers and officers of the Indian Army pushed their way into two villages in Kashmir, seeking out militants assumed to be hiding there. They pulled the men out of their homes and subjected many to torture, and the women to rape. According to village accounts, as many as 31 women were raped. Twenty-one years later, in 2012, the rape and murder of a young medical student in Delhi galvanized a protest movement so widespread and deep that it reached all corners of the world. In Kashmir, a group of young women, all in their twenties, were inspired to re-open the Kunan-Poshpora case, to revisit their history and to look at what had happened to the survivors of the 1991 mass rape. Through personal accounts of their journey, this book examines questions of justice, of stigma, of the responsibility of the state, and of the long-term impact of trauma.

On 13 December 2001, the Indian Parliament was attacked by a few heavily armed men. Eleven years later, we still do not know who was behind the attack, nor the identity of the attackers. Both the Delhi high court and the Supreme Court of India have noted that the police violated legal safeguards, fabricated evidence and extracted false confessions. Yet, on 9 February 2013, one man, Mohammad Afzal Guru, was hanged to ‘satisfy’ the ‘collective conscience’ of society. This updated reader brings together essays by lawyers, academics, journalists and writers who have looked closely at the available facts and who have raised serious questions about the investigations and the trial. This new version examines the implications of Mohammad Afzal Guru’s hanging and what it says about the Indian government’s relationship with Kashmir.
