Kandhamal craves for Justice
₹250.00August 24, 2013 – Veteran Indian Catholic journalist and rights activist Anto Akkara on Friday released his 4th book on the carnage of Christians in Kandhamal District of Odisha 5 years ago, demanding justice that has been slow to come. Akkara’s new book, ‘Kandhamal Craves for Justice’ was released by former Chief Justice of Delhi High Court, A.P. Shah, at the Constitution Club of India in New Delhi, ahead of August 25, the 5th anniversary of the start of the violence. The first copy was given to Digvijaya Singh, the General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee (AICC). Violence against the Christians of Odisha erupted with untold savagery, following the murder of Swami Lakshmananda Saraswati on August 23, 2008, with Hindu extremists falsely blaming Christians, despite Maoist rebels claiming the assassination.
Five years into the orgy of violence and deprivation that continues even today, the award-winning journalist is calling the nation’s attention to the travesty of justice in Kandhamal, demanding answers to uncomfortable questions such as who were the real brains behind the orchestrated violence, why did the law and order arm fail to prevent the carnage, why justice continues to be denied to victims and why the national human rights watchdog remained silent. Akkara’s earlier books on the Christian persecution are, ‘Kandhamal – a blot on Indian Secularism’, “Shining Faith in Kandhamal,” and “Early Christians of 21st Century”. -

Religion, Law and Power
₹495.00This book constructs an anthropological history of a subaltern religious formation, Mahima Dharma of Orissa, a large province in eastern India. Tracking the contingent making of a critical community over a hundred and forty year period, Religion, Law and Power explores the interplay of distinct expressions of time and history, innovative reformulations of caste and Hinduism and distinct engagements with state and nation. This serves to unravel the wider entanglements of religion, history, law, modernity and power. Ishita Banerjee-Dube provides a situated and critical analysis of the different trajectories of Mahima Dharma, bringing to the fore a clutch of empirical and theoretical issues. Understandings of the articulation and institutionalization of a subaltern religious order are not marked off from, but reveal the techniques and textures of, the modern state and dominant Hinduism. Such moves foreground subaltern and ascetic expressions and negotiations of modernity in institutional and everyday arenas, and further question widespread propositions of a singular Hinduism, especially in India today. ‘Religion, Law and Power’ should be of interest to historians, anthropologists and religious studies scholars as well as general readers interested in religion, politics, community and state. It will be of particular interest to students of South Asia concerned with Hinduism and religious sects, history and law, and power and resistance.
