        Gastfreundschaft

        by Priya Basil, Beatrice Faßbender

        »Ich lade dich ein.« Ein Satz, der Vorfreude weckt: auf einen anregenden Abend bei leckerem Essen und guten Gesprächen. Doch die berühmte Gastfreundschaft ist noch viel mehr als das –sie ist ein vielseitiges Geben und Nehmen, das Familie, Freunde und Fremde einschließt und in jeder Kultur etwas anders ist. Die in London geborene, in Kenia aufgewachsene und heute in Berlin lebende Autorin Priya Basil erzählt von den indisch-kenianischen Traditionen ihrer Familie, von einer unerwarteten Einladung zum Spargelessen und einer Massenspeisung in einem Sikh-Tempel mitten in Berlin. Sie hält ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für ein gastfreundliches Europa und lädt dabei immer wieder in ihre eigene Küche ein. Denn die besten Gespräche führt man bekanntlich an einem reich gedeckten Tisch: über Gott und die Welt, Politik und Kultur und über die Frage, ob es eigentlich bedingungslose Gastfreundschaft gibt.

        Mommies!

        by Richa Jha and Priya Sebastian

        Mommies come in all shapes and sizes but that is not all, they come packed with all sorts of personalities too. The narrative of Mommies challenges the norm of reducing an independent, unique being to gender and just the title of a ‘Mom’, and explores beyond the conventional views of what motherhood should be. Richa Jha delivers a strong statement through the purity of a child’s voice and forges a bond between all the vastly different mothers from across the globe, united by their love for their child. Priya Sebastian’s artwork reflects the depth of a simple narrative and manages to capture the diverse beauty of each and every figure of motherhood.

        What Gandhi Didn't See

        Being Indian in South Africa

        by Zainab Priya Dala

        From the vantage point of her own personal history—a fourth-generation Indian South African of mixed lineage—indentured as well as trader class, part Hindu, part Muslim—Dala explores the nuts and bolts of being Indian in South Africa today. From 1684 till the present, the Indian diaspora in South Africa has had a long history. But in the country of their origin, they remain synonymous with three points of identity: indenture, apartheid and Mahatma Gandhi. In this series of essays, Zainab Priya Dala deftly lifts the veil on some of the many other facets of South African Indians, starting with the question: How relevant is Gandhi to them today? It is a question Dala answers with searing honesty, just as she tackles the questions of the ‘new racism’—between Black Africans and Indians—and the ‘new apartheid’—money; the tussle between the ‘canefields’ where she grew up, and the ‘Casbah’, or the glittering town of Durban; and what the changing patterns in the names the Indian community chooses to adopt reflect. In writing that is fluid, incisive and sensitive, she explores the new democratic South Africa that took birth long after Gandhi returned to the subcontinent, and the fight against apartheid was fought and won. In this new ‘Rainbow Nation’, the people of Indian origin are striving to keep their ties to Indian culture whilst building a stronger South African identity. Zainab Priya Dala describes some of the scenarios that result from this dichotomy.

      • Ladies Tailor

        by Priya Hajela

        Ladies Tailor is not a book about religion, neither is it a historical novel. It is fiction that captures a setting and a group of characters that represent the immigrant spirit, the refugee spirit, the spirit of never giving up on what you want and a spirit of adventure and entrepreneurship that to this day is the driving force in Delhi and Punjab. Ladies Tailor is a book about Gurdev and his cohort, a group of refugees who travelled east from Pakistan after Partition. It is a story of falling apart and coming together. It is also a story of that which was torn asunder and will never be one again – a marriage, a country, a friendship. The story will take you back in time and catch you by the scruff till your uncertain feet hang off the floor. It will also bring you back to the normalcy of fit and fashion, and of fabric and style. It will let you settle in and get comfortable with Gurdev and Noor’s romance and then take you on a speedy adventure in fast American cars behind enemy lines.

        Goat Production and Health Management

        by Satish Kumar Jindal

        Goats have a bright future as a domestic animal because of its continued usefulness and generation of new information to maintain this species in a more sustainable and profitable manner. Goat farming requires less capital to start and maintain than cattle or buffalo farming. Goat also has a higher reproductive rate as compared to cattle or buffaloes. Goat can sustain itself on marginal lands where other species of livestock may not even survive. The book has put emphasis on goat production in India but lot of information from world over is mentioned. Goats have been a major part of the research and development programmes aimed at poverty alleviation via the use of small ruminants. Research is of little use if its results are not disseminated and this book is part of the strategy for the dissemination and promotion of the research results to ensure that poor and under-resourced farmers benefit. The publication is expected to provide a useful reference source for all those who are interested in goats.
