Landscapes of Loss - The Story...

Kavitha Iyer, Shivani Vakil Savant

WINNER OF THE TATA LITERATURE LIVE FIRST BOOK AWARD (NON-FICTION) 2021 
 
Maharashtra, India's richest state by GDP, has its eyes set on becoming the country's first trillion-dollar economy by 2025. At the same time, Marathwada -- a historically backward part of the state adjoining the distressed Vidarbha region -- has seen a surge in farmer suicides. 
At the heart of the crisis is a cyclical drought that has persisted for almost a decade. Relief packages and loan waivers have not reversed the trend. On the contrary, the stories of dystopia grow more tragic every year as thousands of farmer families flee to the big cities, while those who stay back are plagued by bad credit and crop loss. 
Landscapes of Loss tells the story of Marathwada through the accounts of its people: marginal farmers, Dalits, landless labourers, farm widows and children. It lays bare the complex factors that have brought the region to this pass -- a story representative, in many ways, of the agrarian unrest in large parts of rural India.

Winston Churchill - His Finest...

Liam Dale

Would you like to delve deeper into the life of Winston Churchill without tackling lengthy biographies? Join The History Journals for an hour-long historical journey focused on his role during World War II. 
 
After guiding the nation through five tumultuous years of World War II, Winston Churchill faced weariness and uncertainty about Britain's post-war future. What were his thoughts? The seasoned leader harbored concerns that the British Empire, exhausted and financially strained from prolonged conflict, might be overshadowed by its more potent American and Russian allies as the war neared its conclusion. Churchill had devoted his all to King and country, and while an Allied victory promised to be his crowning achievement, he remained prudent. Astonishingly, his continued tenure as the nation's Prime Minister was far from guaranteed. 
 
Discover: 
- Churchill's apprehensions regarding Stalin and post-war Russia's influence 
- The significance of the Okinawa battle in the European war's outcome 
- Global awareness of multiple concentration camp atrocities 
- The transition following FDR's funeral and Harry S. Truman's international emergence 
- The fierce battle and capture of Berlin 
- VE Day and the recognition of Winston's selfless service to a grateful nation.
