In pre-independent India, in the small village of Kesarugattu somewhere in Karnataka, Devaraya, a Brahmin, goes about further ossifying his status. This little hamlet, like every other, follows the said and unsaid rules of caste and religion. Inter-caste marriages are frowned upon. Brahmin and other wealthy upper caste men set the rules. The Ai tribes live far away from the village, in the forest. As societal divisions and unlikely friendships play out in the everyday life of the village, a secret from Devaraya’s past comes to haunt him and his family. The repercussions are huge for both Devaraya, his wife Gowru and his two sons Nanju and Anna.
Even as battle lines are drawn in the village and undeclared allies offer support, this fresh trouble claims one of his two sons. That’s not all – meanwhile, the Independence movement that infects the little hamlet sweeps away his other son in its fever. What is to become of the dreams Devaraya had for his sons?
Rising Sons, a novel in four parts, tells the delicate story of the relationship between fathers and sons, between husbands and wives, between family and society; of the fate of a small village that is tied to the making of a great nation; of the hope and promise of the young against the disappointments of the past; of the hows and whys of political life.
How on earth did Stephen Huyler find himself pedaling a bicycle rickshaw through the Indian border on his twentieth birthday?
Intriguing stories like this define Huyler’s life and his metamorphosis into a leading documentarian of the cultures and peoples of India.
In the fifty-two years since his unusual first entry, Stephen has traversed the subcontinent dozens of times by a wide variety of transportation in order to conduct a detailed survey of India’s village and other subcultures.
His innate friendliness has always opened doors, while his skills as a writer and photographer have allowed him to create books and museum exhibitions of material never before recorded.
Transformed By India invites the reader to join Dr. Huyler as he navigates this remarkable nation. The chapters revolve around tributes to the individuals he has known from maharajahs to musicians, Dalits to Brahmins, politicians to potters. Tying all the many stories together is the innate strength and creative capacity for improvement expressed everywhere in the subcontinent.
Early in his career as an anthropologist and art historian, Stephen Huyler recognized that most of the world had little access to feeling the pulse of the peoples of South Asia.
His seven previous books and dozens of museum exhibitions build bridges of communication between India and countries beyond its boundaries.
