About the Book

“The stigma of “caste based discrimination” is attached as soon as one is born in a scheduled caste family. Dalit Voice: Literature and Revolt is by far the first book on dalit studies to cover dalit situation of different parts of India. It is a variegated caravan, a lighted discourse of resistance and emancipation. The book aims at a dalit standpoint; ‘a politics of difference’ or ‘discourse of discontent’ from the mainstream Indian criticism. The standpoint is a project not an inheritance; it is achieved. Dalit woman needs to break her silence. Some essays in the book give voice to her subjectivity and lived experiences.”

Book Review notes:

• Subodh babu stirs the heart of all “humans”. I tried to translate his ” sari” and I considered I failed miserably. The intense emotion of his poems in Bangla is untranslatable ( i think) Amiya Chatterjeeon 2 February 2018
• A poet of all seasons! imaginative awareness of experiences … Jaydeep Sarangi on 1 March 2018

About the Book

“Subodh Sarkar’s poems shimmer with an audacity of simplicity, openness and lucidity which mark his poetic idioms subtle, specific and razor-sharp where the poetic corpus retains as an inviting discourse. Love is a companion of the poetic soul. The poet wants to sign in the ‘peace accord’ of minds. Subodh Sarkar allows his poetry to speak for an artist’s responsibility towards life, contexts and manners of the time. These poems bring out the poet’s social, historical, political and economic dimensions to the reading world. He celebrates things happening around him every day; humbled by time’s magic hands. This is a selection from the poems he has written over the last four decades.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ITINERANT POET

‘Itinerant Poet’ by Leonard Dabydeen

Beauty, Poetry

“The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” ~ Louis L’Amour

You are not alone on this wind-rush march,
Itinerant ink scribing papyrus
Upon demands and deadlines flaming torch;
Or over ant-hills disturbed omnibus.

Sometimes the hour is long as day or night,
And eyes rebel to yawning, sleeping tide;
But you cannot haul sail in a ship’s flight
For the ink must flow where shadows abide.

When it is not by your will, but dharma
This oeuvre fest embellishes your mind
Deep in all your literary karma;
And unfurls all your constraints free from bind.

Where vista cravings for horizons tempt,
Our writing rhapsody must be well spent.
