Excerpts from Understanding Fascism arranged in a concise manner, to give a better picture on the message contained within.

🪷 What if we told you that ancient monks walked the same sun-baked coastlines you holiday on—and that trade winds once carried not just silk and spice, but the teachings of the Buddha?

📚 Buddha in My Backyard by Emani Rani Sarma isn’t just a history book—it’s a vivid, deeply personal journey into Andhra’s forgotten Buddhist past. From Roman coins unearthed in sleepy coastal villages to monks voyaging across seas with merchant caravans, this book uncovers a world buried under dust, time, and indifference.

Let this be your sign to unearth the stories that lie under your feet.

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: Gharana by Suresh Sundaresan is now available as an e-book!

Four generations. Two regions. One unbroken raga of life.

Gharana by Suresh Sundaresan is a sweeping tapestry of Hindustani music, threading together the lives of musicians from North India and the Dharwad region. Their personal stories — of art, love, heartbreak, partition, and patronage — ripple across generations, bound by a shared passion for music.

Critics are calling it:

— “A gripping read with rich guru-shishya interactions, the fine arts of raga and bandish, and the harmony of village and city life — even during partition.” — Ramnath Iyer, Veena Vidwans

— “A novel that teaches us more about the intricate world of Hindustani classical music than any scholarly treatise possibly could.” — Rana Nayar, Translator & Theatre Worker

— “A resonant narrative that weaves deep relationships, gender and community politics, and the codifying of traditions back into open-ended possibility.” — Vidya Rao, Singer & Author

For those who believe music is not just art, but legacy.
The Gharana awaits you.
