Story184
In 1526, when the nomadic Timurid warrior-scholar Babur rode into Hindustan, his wives, sisters, daughters, aunts and distant female relatives travelled with him. These women would help establish a dynasty and empire that would rule India for the next 200 years and become a byword for opulence and grandeur. In Daughters of the Sun, we meet remarkable characters like Khanzada Begum who, at 65, rode on horseback through 750 kilometres of icy passes and unforgiving terrain to parley on behalf of her nephew, Humayun....

In Marrow of Tradition, Charles W. Chesnutt delves into the harrowing events of the 1898 Wilmington, North Carolina massacre, illuminating the deep-seated roots of racism in the post-Reconstruction South. Through a compelling exploration of miscegenation, caste, gender dynamics, and the pervasive ideology of white supremacy, he sheds light on the formation of Jim Crow laws. With unflinching honesty, Chesnutt revisits the horrific terror tactics of mob lynchings, prompting a critical reflection on Americas troubled history. (Introduction by James K. White)

Known as the twice-born - first into the flesh and again when initiated into their vocation - the Brahmins are a caste devoted to sacred learning. But what Taseer finds in Benares, the holy city of death also known as Varanasi, is a window on an India as internally fractured as his own continent-bridging identity.
