  'Every thoughtful person, concerned for the future of this country, needs to read this book.' - Prof. Irfan Habib 
  Yaadon ke Bikhre Moti, the Hindi translation of the bestselling Remnants of a Separation, is a unique attempt to revisit the Partition through objects that refugees carried with them across the border. These belongings absorbed the memory of a time and place, remaining latent and undisturbed for generations. They now speak of their owner's pasts as they emerge as testaments to the struggle, sacrifice, pain and belonging at an unparalleled moment in history. A string of pearls gifted by a maharaja, carried from Dalhousie to Lahore, reveals the grandeur of a life that once was. A notebook of poems, brought from Lahore to Kalyan, shows one woman's determination to pursue the written word despite the turmoil around her. The product of years of research, this book is an alternative history of the Partition - the first and only one told through material memory that makes the event tangible even seven decades later.

  The Inevitable Revolution

  "Men should believe in the law of love in the same way that they now believe in the inevitability of violence."
  
  The Inevitable Revolution (1909) is one of Tolstoy's last major works of non-fiction, focusing on themes of civil disobedience, pacifism, and anarchism. The author criticises prisons, parliaments, wars, conscription, capitalism, theft, revolutionary violence, and taxes, while praising the message of love found in Christianity and acknowledging similar teachings in other religions. He believes that adherence to the law of love offers practical solutions to the societal issues he critiques and essentially calls for a moral awakening among individuals to live non-violently and to not condone violence in any form.
  
  This essay serves as a profound reflection of Tolstoy's later philosophical views and its discussions on non-violence and ethical living continue to resonate today.
  Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both celebrated for their intricate character development and profound exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature. In his later years, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to reject materialism and embrace a life of simplicity, seeking to align his life with his beliefs about non-violence and compassion. Tolstoy's legacy endures not only through his literary masterpieces but also through his profound impact on literature and philosophy.
