    Like those in his earlier book, The Losers Shall Inherit the World, these articles too were first published in Frontier and deal with current socio-economic-cultural issues of a diverse range of topics. These include, Sanskrit, Hinduism, Bhimsen Joshi, Education Manifesto, Euthanasia, Small States, Population, Cities, Peak Oil and the Politics of Non-Violence. There are also two small articles dealing with the Passion (Christ’s suffering at the Cross) and the concept of Liberation. ‘If a political activist can be defined as a person who is not only trying to promote the interests of his own particular group or class but trying, generally speaking, to create a better world, then she must first have a good understanding of the state of the present-day world. And then Vijayendra’s article (Yugant in this book) is a must-read for her, because it is an excellent short introduction to the subject.’ Saral Sarkar, author of Eco-Socialism You can read this book online or download a copy at www.peakoilindia.org REQUIEM FOR OUR TIMES T.

  • Littératures De L'inde
    revue littéraire mensuelle LITTÉRATURES DE L’INDE avril 2001 Hormis une poignée de romanciers de langue anglaise, les littératures de l’Inde contemporaine restent pour nous une immense terra incognita. C’est à un voyage fascinant, inoubliable, que nous convie ce numéro d’Europe. Par son ampleur et la richesse des découvertes qu’il propose, il n’a pas à ce jour d’équivalent en France. Qu’on en juge : plus de quarante romanciers, nouvellistes et poètes, représentant au total dix-huit langues, de l’ourdou au bengali, du hindi au tamoul, du konkani au malayalam… Comme le rappelle Amitav Ghosh dans un essai publié en ouverture de ce numéro : « On a dit à juste titre que l’Inde n’avait rien donné de plus important au monde que ses légendes. » Il est nécessaire aujourd’hui de faire connaître ce qui a surgi après l’Indépendance, et plus particulièrement au cours des deux ou trois dernières décennies. On aimera s’immerger dans une littérature rétive aux standards occidentaux, mais qui sait métisser son riche héritage écrit et oral avec les apports majeurs de la modernité venue d’Europe, de Russie et d’Amérique. Littératures de l’Inde Anglais Nissim Ezekiel, Jayanta Mahapatra, A.K. Ramanujan, Keki N. Daruwalla, Dom Moraes, A.K.
