Summaries and Reviews
Summary
On communalism and its fallout on Indian political scenario after 1993; also discusses its religious overtones.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: This is
a compilation of six essays and a poem by novelist Amit Chaudhury - written as an
urgent response to what he feels is an ongoing state of emergency - followed by a
conversation which takes up and further develops the same issues and concerns. Small Orange
Flags was written in early 1993 when he came back to India from
Oxford, and encountered a changed world post the Babri Masjid demolition. In it
lie the seeds of the idea for his novel Freedom Song. 'Living in the Mohulla',
written after September 11, looks at human bonds across communities; in
'Thoughts in a Temple' he meditates on Hindutva and the changing face of
Hinduism; 'Neighbours and Strife' begins with an encounter in a Greyhound bus,
leading on to thoughts on minority activism in civil society; 'Sticks, Stones
and Names' has at its core a poem layered with disturbing images of war; and in
'A Walk Around Schoeneberg' he begins to see how silence overlays a disturbing
history of erasure of the Jews. This volume lays bare disturbing and very urgent
questions about how people live together despite difference.
