When the spirited and sassy ghost of Kadambari Devi—Rabindranath Tagore’s enigmatic sister-in-law—leaps across time, she finds herself guiding two iconic women from Tagore’s fiction: Charu and Bimala. Both brilliant, restless, and caught between love, intellect, and duty, they struggle to find their place in a world that is changing faster than they are allowed to.
As the three women debate, challenge, and inspire one another, they discover a surprising truth: the world may have moved from the 19th century to the 21st, but the inner battles women fight—for independence, desire, and meaning—remain strikingly familiar.
Adapted from Isheeta Ganguly’s internationally acclaimed dram-com musical Three Women: A Musical Theatre, this graphic novel offers a bold, visually immersive reimagining of Tagore’s heroines. Blending literature, history, and modern reflection, it celebrates the enduring power of Tagore’s women, and their quest to balance purpose with passion.
इस उपन्यास में 1914-15 के दौरान अंग्रेजों के खिलाफ उपजे क्रांतिकारी आंदोलन की झलकी दी गई है। बीरी और उसका भाई अपने देश को स्वतंत्र कराना चाहते हैं, लेकिन उनकी राह में सबसे बड़ी रूकावट उनका अपना पिता ही बन जाता है, जो अंग्रेजों का वफादार चमचा था। देश के लिए मर मिटने वालों की यह कहानी आजादी के अमृत महोत्सव के अवसर पर पुन: प्रकाशित की गई है।
अघोरी : एक अनकही कहानी एक अनोखी, रहस्यपूर्ण और आध्यात्मिक यात्रा है, जो पाठक को मानव मन, साधना, भय और मुक्ति के उन अनदेखे प्रदेशों में ले जाती है, जहाँ सामान्य जीवन की पहुँच बहुत कम होती है। मयूर कलबाग की यह पुस्तक केवल अघोरियों की कठोर और अद्भुत साधना को उजागर नहीं करती, बल्कि यह बताती है कि भय, अंधकार और मृत्यु जैसी अवधारणाएँ वास्तव में आत्म-जागरण का मार्ग भी बन सकती हैं।
कहानी एक जिज्ञासु साधक की यात्रा के माध्यम से शुरू होती है, जो हिमालय की कठिन घाटियों, श्मशानों और गहन मौन से गुज़रते हुए अघोरियों की तपस्या और उनके आध्यात्मिक विज्ञान को समझने की कोशिश करता है। पुस्तक में दर्शाया गया हर अध्याय व्यक्ति को अपने भीतर छिपे भय, भ्रम और सीमाओं के पार जाने की प्रेरणा देता है। यह केवल एक कहानी नहीं, बल्कि आत्म-परिवर्तन, त्याग, साहस और आध्यात्मिक शक्ति की खोज का दस्तावेज़ है।
A girl and a boy born into different classes meet by chance. In their meaningful but brief time together, they explore life and the reality of New India. Two dogs accompany them as his nationalism runs into her studied scepticism.
Guiding readers through a country remade, Discovery of New India is a witty, accessible political primer on a decade of change and its human impact.
For centuries, it has been (wrongly) believed that men are the superior gender. But what have we based that on? What research has been conducted to prove this?
Men are stronger. Men have had more power. So obviously, men must be superior.
Well . . . not quite.
Is it simply conditioning? At what point will we accept that feminism isn’t about one gender being better than another. It is about all genders being treated equally.
Putting the Toilet Seat Down is not only Feminism 101 but the first step we can take towards equal living. It is a no-gyaan, no-judgement guide for anyone who is curious (or confused) about feminism. Or for anyone who wants to unlearn their biases. With answers to questions like what is feminism, why do we need it in today’s world and do feminists hate men, this funny, engaging and nuanced graphic narrative breaks down big ideas with logic, humour, sensitivity and just the right amount of self-roasting.
Instead of lectures, you’ll get real talk—backed by history, science, and real-life examples — about why questioning your own biases doesn’t make you ‘less of a man’; just a better, more empathetic ally.
It’s about understanding the world a little better, and maybe becoming a better person in the process.
