2. WRIST ASSURED: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Author: Gundappa Vishwanath

Publisher: Rupa Publications India

Print Length: 280 pages

Release Date: 13 March 2022

Price: ₹595.00

Review

Wrist Assured traces the cricketing journey of wristy genius G.R. Vishwanath from the dusty by-lanes of erstwhile Bangalore to the most iconic venues in the world. It gives deep insights into the mind of a champion, and of the trials and tribulations of an international career that saw both despair and delight in his very first Test.

Vishwanath followed up a first-innings duck with 137 in the second against Australia in Kanpur in 1969. The same crowd that had hurled matkas on his way back in the first innings rose as one to celebrate his century, providing him his first important lesson—nothing succeeds like success.

His solid middle-class upbringing instilled in Vishwanath a clear sense of right and wrong which he harnessed throughout his 91-Test career.Wrist Assured provides a ringside view of what made Vishwanath tick and why he is one of the most adored and respected cricketers to have graced the cricketing stage.

About Author

G.R. Vishwanath is a former Indian cricket captain who mesmerized audiences across the world with his unfettered stroke-play. Short of stature, he towered over the cricketing landscape for nearly two decades. Universally loved, Vishwanath danced to 14 hundreds in 91 Tests; remarkably, India never lost a match when he touched three-figures. As impressive as his numbers are, Vishwanath is remembered with fondness for the sheer joy he provided with his magical touch.

R. Kaushik has been a cricket writer for more than three decades. Since starting his career with Newstime in Hyderabad, he has worked with Deccan Herald and Wisden India in Bengaluru. The co-author of V.V.S. Laxman’s autobiography 281 and Beyond, his two-decade association with G.R. Vishwanath forms the basis for this book.

3. The Comrades And The Mullahs: China, Afghanistan and the New Asian Geopolitics

Author: Stanly Johny (Author), Ananth Krishnan (Author)

Publisher: HarperCollins India

Print Length: 304 pages

Release Date: 8 March 2022

Price: ₹479.20

Review

America's withdrawal from Afghanistan was a historical event that left a lasting impact on both Afghanistan's future and on Asian geopolitics. It also brought China into focus. This book traces the emergence of China as a key player in Afghanistan, and the evolution of China's Afghan policy with a focus on its relations with the Taliban. This emergence amid the US exit is a potentially game-changing development for the region, even if questions remain about Beijing's appetite to step in to fill the void and the limits of its ambitions.

The book will examine what Beijing's interests are and the drivers of its foreign policy, and specifically how its new Silk Road project, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), is shaping China-Afghan relations. It will delve deep into the evolution of the BRI and how Afghanistan has emerged as a key focal point on the corridor heading west from Xinjiang. The book will also look at the Xinjiang factor, drawing on the authors' travels to China's western frontiers, as well as the internal dynamics that are pushing Beijing's westward march. It will examine the rise of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement and the terror groups that are leading to an increasingly securitized approach to China's western regions and beyond, including with possible Chinese plans to deploy special forces along the China-Afghan border areas in the Wakhan corridor and Badakhshan region.

China's Afghan engagement is also deepening the 'all weather' alliance between China and Pakistan, with Beijing increasingly leaning on Islamabad, particularly in its outreach to the Taliban and elements in Afghanistan long supported by the Pakistani state, a perennial source of tension between Islamabad and Kabul. The book will look at how both countries are approaching the Afghan issue and the implications for India, especially Kashmir.

4. As Far As The Saffron Fields: The Pulwama Conspiracy

Author: Danesh Rana

Publisher: HarperCollins India

Print Length: 280 pages

Release Date: 10 March 2022

Price: ₹461.00

Review

In March 2019, two militants were killed during a siege at a house in Nowgam, on the outskirts of Srinagar. One of them was known simply as 'Idrees Bhai'. The encounter was forgotten for the most part, until investigators came upon a mangled phone that had been destroyed by Idrees Bhai. When the Samsung smartphone began to reveal its secrets, investigators realized they had hit upon a motherlode. For, Idrees Bhai was none other than Umar Farooq Alvi, the mastermind of the Pulwama suicide attack of February 2019 which had killed forty CRPF personnel, the deadliest terror attack on Indian security forces since 1989.

Now, for the first time, serving IPS officer Danesh Rana meticulously pieces together the conspiracy behind the attack. Based upon personal interviews with the protagonists, police chargesheets and other evidence, Rana breaks down the modern face of militancy in Kashmir, fuelled by highly motivated young Kashmiris who have taken on the mantle of bringing down the Indian state.

This is the story of a state in conflict, told through the story of a single terror attack. Piecing together the stories of several actors - from Umar the boy-wonder insurgent to Insha, the love of his life; from Adil Dar, the man who rammed a van full of explosives into the CRPF bus to Head Constable Jaimal Singh, the driver of that ill-fated bus - As Far as the Saffron Fields is by far the most definitive book on the Pulwama attack, going where no book on the Kashmir conflict has gone before. This is war at its worst, tearing apart families and dreams, leaving only mangled bodies and phones behind.

Review

Dear Mom is a real story of a woman who was struggling with schizophrenia after her marriage. The story represents the ups and downs of her life. Just because she wasn’t taking medicines, she had to go through a lot. Finally, she met an uninvited situation – a brain haemorrhage.

The author realized that he has to say many things to his mom before anything worse happened to her, and especially a word, ‘sorry.’ Sorry for the trouble he had given his mom without understanding her disease. Sorry for not supporting his mom when she actually needed support.

The story starts from admitting his mom to the hospital. The author waits for his mom to be conscious and talk to her as much as he could. Her journey of 21 days in the hospital makes him realize how important she was to him.

7. Burning Questions

Author: Margaret Atwood

Publisher: Chatto & Windus

Print Length: 496 pages

Release Date: 20 March 2022

Price: ₹779.00

Review

From cultural icon Margaret Atwood comes a brilliant collection of essays -- funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient -- which seek answers to Burning Questions such as:

Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories?

How much of yourself can you give away without evaporating?

How can we live on our planet?

Is it true? And is it fair?

What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism?

In over fifty pieces Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humour at our world, and reports back to us on what she finds. The roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to how to define granola, we have no better questioner of the many and varied mysteries of our human universe.

Review

From adventure to indenture, martyrs to merchants, Partition to plantation, from Kashmir to Kerala, Japan to Jamaica and beyond, the many facets of the great migrations of India and the world are mapped in India Moving, the first book

of its kind. To understand how millions of people have moved-from, to and within India-the book embarks on a journey laced with evidence, argument and wit, providing insights into topics like the slave trade and migration of workers, travelling business communities such as the Marwaris, Gujaratis and Chettiars, refugee crises and the roots of contemporary mass migration from Bihar and Kerala, covering terrain that often includes diverse items such as mangoes, dosas and pressure cookers.

India Moving shows the scale and variety of Indian migration and argues that greater mobility is a prerequisite for maintaining the country's pluralistic traditions.
