What was so unusual about a young boy from Salani, Poonch deciding to join the Indian Armed Forces? It was that when Rifleman Aurangzeb enlisted, militancy was at its peak. While his district was the breeding ground for infiltrators and locals were scared of even associating with India, here was a man who openly declared that he would follow in his father’s footsteps and don the olive green.
Aurangzeb had witnessed multiple encounters as a young boy where Lashkar militants would barge into their homes and threaten to kill his father because of his solidarity with India. Yet, he stood his ground and joined the forces.
Aurangzeb was amongst the many who wore the uniform and yet, he was different! Never hesitating to voice his opinion on the functioning of the administration in his district, he was a fearless man who always followed his heart. That heart also led him to a beautiful woman he had promised to marry, a promise that remained unfulfilled.
This is the story of a man who was ready to fight his people for his country.
It is the story of a man who is the reason behind there being at least one person in the forces in every home in Salani.
A braveheart who was kidnapped by the Lashkar, Aurangzeb was tortured, recorded and brutally murdered—the militants still lost because there was no fear in his eyes and he died with his head held high.

The Urdu writer, Zeenath Sajida dominated the literary and intellectual circles of Hyderabad for half a century. Often compared with Ismat Chughtai for her boldness, defiance and verbal craft, Zeenath wrote a number of popular short stories. But she was best known for her humorous khaake (pen portraits) and inshaaiye (light sketches). Yet, her work has rarely been curated and translated for an English reader.
Nazia Akhtar’s nuanced translation brings Zeenath’s sparkling wit and eloquent prose to a new readership and reminds us of the neglected legacy of Hyderabadi women writers. Through The Deccan Sun we celebrate Zeenath Sajida’s place in a larger tradition of Urdu writing and culture, while also specifically enriching and diversifying perspectives on women’s writing in Urdu.’
Students Etched in Memory is a remarkable collection of forty essays by Perumal Murugan, translated with sensitivity and grace by V. Iswarya. While Murugan is widely acclaimed for his novels such as One Part Woman and Pyre, this collection reveals another facet of his work—as a teacher, mentor and keen observer of young minds.
In these deeply personal essays, Murugan offers an intimate look into the lives of college students from small-town Tamil Nadu. Each is a portrait of youth, where the pursuit of education becomes a journey not just of academic growth, but of self-discovery. Through his sharp yet compassionate observations, Murugan captures the delicate balance between the quest for knowledge and the search for identity, belonging and purpose.
With profound empathy for his students, Murugan recognizes that education is far more than textbooks and exams. Against the backdrop of contemporary India, the essays reflect the broader challenges facing students—pressures of family expectations, class, caste and the tension between tradition and modernity. Yet, they carry a sense of hope—of education as a pathway to change, upward mobility and the possibility of personal transformation.
Once again, Perumal Murugan demonstrates his mastery in capturing the lived experiences of individuals navigating the shifting currents of change.
More than a decade ago, intrigued by his encounter with a few people and a chance discussion about their religious beliefs, Santosh K. Singh began delving deeper into the phenomenon of the dera. What followed thereafter was an extensive engagement with this belief system.
The dera culture in Punjab has an ancient history and stands on philosophically rich terrain. Deras are reflective of South Asia’s fluid, sacred geography and its propensity to constantly and seamlessly engage in multiple conversations within itself.
Be it the hugely influential Dera Sachkhand Ballan, the controversial Dera Sacha Sauda or the many other deras dotting the landscape—all of these are complex institutions. They have a rich diversity of histories of time, people and communities that both draw from the past and negotiate with the present to carve out a new future.
The Deras is an effort to discuss this fascinating and emancipatory realm, and prevent it from getting boxed in a narrow, sectarian and parochial framework.
In eleven stories, The World With Its Mouth Open maps the inner lives of the people of Kashmir as they walk the uncertain terrain of their days, fractured from years of war. From a shopkeeper’s encounter with a mannequin, to an expectant mother walking on a precarious road, to a young boy wavering between dreams and reality, to two dogs wandering the city, these stories weave in larger, devastating themes of loss, grief, violence, longing, and injustice with the threads of smaller, everyday realities that confront the characters’ lives in profound ways. Although the stories circle the darker aspects of life, they are—at the same time—an attempt to run into life, into humor, into beauty, into another person who can offer refuge, if momentarily.
Zahid Rafiq’s The World With Its Mouth Open is a powerful collection announcing the arrival of a new voice that bears witness to the human condition with nuance, heart, humor, and incredible insight.
