The story revolves around three farmers facing several problems in farming and how the guidance of a young scientist will help them in saving their village from being sold.

Objective: This project is a result of one year of research on the reasons behind the suicides of the farmers in our country. The research was done by our team headed by Mr.Anshul Sinha under the mentorship of Centre for Sustainable Agriculture, Hyderabad founded by Mr. G V Ramanjaneyulu, an Agricultural scientist. The project portrays 25 major issues of agrarian crisis which are the main reasons behind 25 lakhs farmer suicides happened in our nation.

Vision: The film aims at saving every farmer from giving up farming & their life, inspiring them and society on the basic aspects of the organic farming and having a clear glimpse of the problems known from our research.

The play, “Ek Soirachari Rajar Katha” (The Story of a Despotic Emperor) has drawn from Camus' “Caligula” the concept of deification of emperors which was common to the pagan world, the Greek and Macedonian kings.

Raja (the king) discovers on the death of his sister and lover, Apurupa, that people die and they are not happy. From this point on, obsessed by his search for the absolute, poisoned with contempt and horror, he tries to exercise, through murders and systematic perversion of all values. He rejects friendship, love, simple human solidarity, and the concepts of good and evil. He takes literally all those around him like Taruni, his poet-friend, and forces them to see things logically, and levels everything around him through the force of his rejection.

But if his truth involves revolting against destiny, his mistake is to deny humanity. One cannot destroy everything without destroying one's self. This is why Raja depopulates the world around him and, faithful to his own logic, decides to strangle Kamini, his mistress, uttering his gospel of hate at everything around him. This play is the story of a superior suicide, as described by Camus. It is the most human of stories and the most tragic of errors. Faithless to humanity out of faith in himself, he accepts to die for having understood that no one can save himself by himself, and that one cannot be free while opposing humanity.

The play remains universally relevant. It represents the face of contemporary despotism, not only in terms of the whimsical madness of rulers, but also in terms of how people react to such rule with a glimmer of hope for the future

Republic of Caste - Thinking Equality in the Time of Neoliberal Hindutva by Anand Teltumbdee

Book Launch and Discussion

Navayana & Lamakaan invite you to the launch of Anand Teltumbde's opus, Republic of Caste: Thinking Equality in the Time of Neoliberal Hindutva. It is truly a new kind of history of post-independence India. We could well call it "India After Ambedkar" but then Teltumbde is not beholden even to the cult of Ambedkar, while he hugely draws from Ambedkar. Teltumbde is unafraid of taking what seems an unconventional position on reservation, naxalism or even the Constitution. For instance, he has often argued that reservation for Dalits has, in fact, stigmatized them and consecrated caste in India’s polity.

The book, featuring a foreword by the historian Sunil Khilnani, will be launched in Hyderabad on 24th June Sunday at 7 pm at Lamakaan.

Teltumbde will be in conversation with historian Bhangya Bhukya of University of Hyderabad;
Kalpana Kannabiran, Director of Council for Social Development;
and Social Activist & Research Scholar, HCU, Firduas Soni.

About the Book:
Commanding in its scope, revelatory and unsparing in argument, Republic of Caste amounts to a new map of post-Independence India. Anand Teltumbde identifies the watershed moments of its journey: from the adoption of a flawed Constitution to the Green Revolution, the OBC upsurge, the rise of regional parties, and up to the nexus of neoliberalism and hindutva in the present day. Joining the dots between a wide range of events on the ground and the prevailing structure of power, he debunks the pieties of state and Constitution, political parties and identitarian rhetoric, to reveal the pernicious energies they have unleashed and their dire impact on India’s most marginalised people, the dalits.

The exclusion and disempowerment of dalits emerges as intrinsic to India’s republican system, whether expressed through state policies on education, agriculture and land ownership, or the tacit encouragement of caste embedded in both law and political practice. Here, the carrot of reservations comes with the stick of atrocities. As a politics of symbolism exploits the fissile nature of caste to devitalise India’s poorest whilst appropriating their votes, Teltumbde’s damning analysis also shows progressive politics a way out of the present impasse.

About Anand Teltumbde:
Anand Teltumbde is a civil rights activist and a columnist with the Economic & Political Weekly. Among his many books are Dalits: Past, Present and Future, Mahad: The Making of the First Dalit Revolt and The Persistence of Caste: The Khairlanji Murders and India’s Hidden Apartheid. He teaches at the Goa Institute of Management.

13 Years: A Naxalite’s Prison Diary by Ramchandra Singh—book launch

Navayana and Lamakaan invite you to the launch of Ramchandra Singh's 13 Years: A Naxalite’s Prison Diary.

Civil rights activist B. Anuradha, chronicler of the Naxalite movement Sumanta Banerjee, political scientist K.Y. Ratnam and Virasam co-founder Varavara Rao will discuss the book.

About the book:

September 1970. Ramchandra Singh enters the Hardoi District Jail in Uttar Pradesh as a Naxalite undertrial. Barely twenty, his life of expanding prospects—in studies, politics and love—is reduced to the horizon of a life term. The odds are stacked against the survival of his humanity and imagination, but Singh regenerates his gifts of empathy, humour, reflection and, above all, language—in a secret diary smuggled out with the help of friends.

A singular record of recent history and of an individual witness, Singh’s prison diary, newly expanded, appears in English for the first time. Offering unprecedented intimacy with the everyday life of the imprisoned everyman, Singh challenges us to look without flinching and question our assumptions about crime and punishment.

Ramchandra Singh (1949–2018), of Bangarmau village in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh, was a member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Red Star and served on its Central Committee. He was part of the editorial board of Red Star Monthly (Hindi). He passed away when this book was in press.

Translator Madhu Singh is a professor in the Department of English and Modern European Languages, University of Lucknow. She has previously translated the scholar G.N. Devy’s work, A Nomad Called Thief, into Hindi as Ghumantu Hain Chor Nahin.

The United Nations Report on the Situation of Human Rights in Kashmir released recently.

The reports talks on both sides of the LoC, focus mainly on serious violations in Jammu and Kashmir between July 2016 and April 2018, alleging some 145 civilians killed (without mentioning terrorists, including Pakistani ones) by security forces and up to 20 civilians killed by armed groups.

UNHCR commissioner Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein called for maximum restraint and denounced the lack of prosecution of Indian forces in Jammu and Kashmir due to a 1990 law that gives them what he called "virtual immunity" (AFSPA). He went on to demand a commission of inquiry by the Human Rights Council, opening a three-week session in Geneva on 18 June, into all violations, and investigation of mass graves in the Kashmir Valley and the state.

India has rejected the report terming it "fallacious, tendentious and motivated", questioning its intent in bringing out a selective compilation of largely unverified information to build a false narrative.

K-Circle is today India's oldest quiz club, formed in 1972, and is based in the twin cities of Hyderabad & Secunderabad. This Saturday would be the K-Circle Quiz of the Month at Lamakaan which would be a lively, engaging and informally informative quiz session that anybody is welcome to attend!

A motley group, K-Circle is open to members of all ages. We are a truly informal club as we don’t have a form for new entrants to fill. There are no registrations, no frills, no badges, no pins/medals, no passwords. . . if you come in late, you just may have to perch on the window sill, but that's about it! The quiz would be a team event, with the teams being formed on spot. Do bring your friends and family along as well for what should surely be a thrilling Saturday evening!

K-Circle quizzes have the well-deserved reputation of being thoroughly researched, highly interesting and innovative (far removed from the mugging-from-GK books sort of quiz that is all too common hereabouts). We meet every Saturday at a pre-decided location in the twin cities.
Information regarding upcoming sessions is updated on the website - www.kcircle.com
As well as our Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/kcircle/
You can also add yourself to our subscribers' mailing list by sending an email to kckcircle@gmail.com.

Aadhaar has been a controversy since the project was announced and rolled out in 2009. With the recent push to make it mandatory for everything, several security loopholes and frauds have been un-earthed. With the recent cellphone SIMs verification scandal using fingerprints found on revenue department website shows the security threat Aadhaar poses to citizens. The supreme court has heard all these challenges from the petitioners and has reserved judgement, which is likely to be out anytime soon. The much awaited draft data protection bill has been delayed for months. With so many data leaks and frauds occurring, citizens have been left with no recourse except but parting with their information. This session will bring people together to make them discuss ways to challenge Aadhaar beyond the court rooms.

PARTY IS A GOVIND NIHALANI MOVIE MADE IN 1984

It depicts their apathy towards the society at large while they get away, by the way of small talk and prosaic conversations at parties.

You don't need to be an artist to make art everyday. If you like to write a little and doodle a little, this workshop is for you. This session will cover Urban sketching, Travel Journals, Food and recipe journals as forms of chronicling.

Republic of Caste - Thinking Equality in the Time of Neoliberal Hindutva by Anand Teltumbdee

Book Launch and Discussion

Navayana & Lamakaan invite you to the launch of Anand Teltumbde's opus, Republic of Caste: Thinking Equality in the Time of Neoliberal Hindutva. It is truly a new kind of history of post-independence India. We could well call it "India After Ambedkar" but then Teltumbde is not beholden even to the cult of Ambedkar, while he hugely draws from Ambedkar. Teltumbde is unafraid of taking what seems an unconventional position on reservation, naxalism or even the Constitution. For instance, he has often argued that reservation for Dalits has, in fact, stigmatized them and consecrated caste in India’s polity.

The book, featuring a foreword by the historian Sunil Khilnani, will be launched in Hyderabad on 24th June Sunday at 7 pm at Lamakaan.

Teltumbde will be in conversation with historian Bhangya Bhukya of University of Hyderabad;
Kalpana Kannabiran, Director of Council for Social Development;
and Social Activist & Research Scholar, HCU, Firduas Soni.

About the Book:
Commanding in its scope, revelatory and unsparing in argument, Republic of Caste amounts to a new map of post-Independence India. Anand Teltumbde identifies the watershed moments of its journey: from the adoption of a flawed Constitution to the Green Revolution, the OBC upsurge, the rise of regional parties, and up to the nexus of neoliberalism and hindutva in the present day. Joining the dots between a wide range of events on the ground and the prevailing structure of power, he debunks the pieties of state and Constitution, political parties and identitarian rhetoric, to reveal the pernicious energies they have unleashed and their dire impact on India’s most marginalised people, the dalits.

The exclusion and disempowerment of dalits emerges as intrinsic to India’s republican system, whether expressed through state policies on education, agriculture and land ownership, or the tacit encouragement of caste embedded in both law and political practice. Here, the carrot of reservations comes with the stick of atrocities. As a politics of symbolism exploits the fissile nature of caste to devitalise India’s poorest whilst appropriating their votes, Teltumbde’s damning analysis also shows progressive politics a way out of the present impasse.

About Anand Teltumbde:
Anand Teltumbde is a civil rights activist and a columnist with the Economic & Political Weekly. Among his many books are Dalits: Past, Present and Future, Mahad: The Making of the First Dalit Revolt and The Persistence of Caste: The Khairlanji Murders and India’s Hidden Apartheid. He teaches at the Goa Institute of Management.

13 Years: A Naxalite’s Prison Diary by Ramchandra Singh—book launch

Navayana and Lamakaan invite you to the launch of Ramchandra Singh's 13 Years: A Naxalite’s Prison Diary.

Civil rights activist B. Anuradha, chronicler of the Naxalite movement Sumanta Banerjee, political scientist K.Y. Ratnam and Virasam co-founder Varavara Rao will discuss the book.

About the book:

September 1970. Ramchandra Singh enters the Hardoi District Jail in Uttar Pradesh as a Naxalite undertrial. Barely twenty, his life of expanding prospects—in studies, politics and love—is reduced to the horizon of a life term. The odds are stacked against the survival of his humanity and imagination, but Singh regenerates his gifts of empathy, humour, reflection and, above all, language—in a secret diary smuggled out with the help of friends.

A singular record of recent history and of an individual witness, Singh’s prison diary, newly expanded, appears in English for the first time. Offering unprecedented intimacy with the everyday life of the imprisoned everyman, Singh challenges us to look without flinching and question our assumptions about crime and punishment.

Ramchandra Singh (1949–2018), of Bangarmau village in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh, was a member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Red Star and served on its Central Committee. He was part of the editorial board of Red Star Monthly (Hindi). He passed away when this book was in press.

Translator Madhu Singh is a professor in the Department of English and Modern European Languages, University of Lucknow. She has previously translated the scholar G.N. Devy’s work, A Nomad Called Thief, into Hindi as Ghumantu Hain Chor Nahin.

The United Nations Report on the Situation of Human Rights in Kashmir released recently.

The reports talks on both sides of the LoC, focus mainly on serious violations in Jammu and Kashmir between July 2016 and April 2018, alleging some 145 civilians killed (without mentioning terrorists, including Pakistani ones) by security forces and up to 20 civilians killed by armed groups.

UNHCR commissioner Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein called for maximum restraint and denounced the lack of prosecution of Indian forces in Jammu and Kashmir due to a 1990 law that gives them what he called "virtual immunity" (AFSPA). He went on to demand a commission of inquiry by the Human Rights Council, opening a three-week session in Geneva on 18 June, into all violations, and investigation of mass graves in the Kashmir Valley and the state.

India has rejected the report terming it "fallacious, tendentious and motivated", questioning its intent in bringing out a selective compilation of largely unverified information to build a false narrative.

K-Circle is today India's oldest quiz club, formed in 1972, and is based in the twin cities of Hyderabad & Secunderabad. This Saturday would be the K-Circle Quiz of the Month at Lamakaan which would be a lively, engaging and informally informative quiz session that anybody is welcome to attend!

A motley group, K-Circle is open to members of all ages. We are a truly informal club as we don’t have a form for new entrants to fill. There are no registrations, no frills, no badges, no pins/medals, no passwords. . . if you come in late, you just may have to perch on the window sill, but that's about it! The quiz would be a team event, with the teams being formed on spot. Do bring your friends and family along as well for what should surely be a thrilling Saturday evening!

K-Circle quizzes have the well-deserved reputation of being thoroughly researched, highly interesting and innovative (far removed from the mugging-from-GK books sort of quiz that is all too common hereabouts). We meet every Saturday at a pre-decided location in the twin cities.
Information regarding upcoming sessions is updated on the website - www.kcircle.com
As well as our Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/kcircle/
You can also add yourself to our subscribers' mailing list by sending an email to kckcircle@gmail.com.

Aadhaar has been a controversy since the project was announced and rolled out in 2009. With the recent push to make it mandatory for everything, several security loopholes and frauds have been un-earthed. With the recent cellphone SIMs verification scandal using fingerprints found on revenue department website shows the security threat Aadhaar poses to citizens. The supreme court has heard all these challenges from the petitioners and has reserved judgement, which is likely to be out anytime soon. The much awaited draft data protection bill has been delayed for months. With so many data leaks and frauds occurring, citizens have been left with no recourse except but parting with their information. This session will bring people together to make them discuss ways to challenge Aadhaar beyond the court rooms.

PARTY IS A GOVIND NIHALANI MOVIE MADE IN 1984

The film is a deeply intelligent satire aimed at the urban elite — especially those poseurs with artistic inclinations, namely establishment-artists and their patrons. It depicts their apathy towards the society at large while they get away, by the way of small talk and prosaic conversations at parties.

This month, the Cinephiles film club brings together two of Hitchcock’s most films alongside works by two filmmakers who pay tribute to Hitchcock’s continuing influence on cinema. This week, we turn to a film that Hitchcock wished he had made! Claude Chabrol is a key French filmmaker. But before he made any film, he co-authored the first serious book on Hitchcock, simply titled Hitchcock: The First Forty-Four films. In Le Boucher, Chabrol follows the tense relationship between a teacher at a provincial school and a man who may be her stalker, or worse!
