Mallu Swarajyam was barely a teenager when she joined the Telangana armed struggle. She fought feudal oppression, challenged the Nizam's rule, and became one of the most fearless voices of resistance in the region.

The Fire of Defiance: Mallu Swarajyam's Memoir is the story of a revolutionary who refused to be silenced. Through her own words, we encounter a life shaped by courage, conviction, and an unwavering commitment to justice.

Thanks to Ramya Kannan () and for covering this important book and bringing Mallu Swarajyam's remarkable legacy to new readers.

As told to: Uma Chakravarti, S. Katyayini, Vimala Morthala
Translated by: Purnima Tammireddy

Pick up your copy (www.southsidebooks.in) and discover the woman whose life became a part of Telangana's history.

Happy Telangana Day!

One of our fastest moving books is going into reprint within a year and honestly… we were not surprised. 💜

'The Hunger That Moved a Goddess and Other Stories' by Endapalli Bharathi, translated by V. B. Sowmya, has found so much love from readers over the past few months.

These stories are raw, intimate, funny, painful, political, and deeply alive. They don’t over-explain. They simply place you inside the world of Madiga women...their labour, friendships, anger, exhaustion, humour, and everyday tenderness.

Swipe through for a small look inside the book ✨
(And some of Kiran Kumari’s beautiful illustrations!)

Throughout history, a handful of thinkers have unsettled complacency, expanded the horizons of justice, and transformed the moral imagination of entire societies. B R Ambedkar was one of them.
His writings challenge, illuminate, provoke and liberate. They confront the deepest injustices of the social order while offering a radical, humane blueprint for democracy, equality and dignity.

ON SERIES brings together Ambedkar’s most urgent ideas presented thematically for a new generation of readers.📚
