But who was Sabari, a forest-dweller who became Rama's ardent devotee?\u003cbr\u003e\nIn On the Banks of the Pampa, award-winning writer Volga narrates the tale of Sabari, born of aranyavasis, once forced into slavery by a power-seeking state, which she breaks free from. It traces the journey of her spiritual awakening and birth into a voice of dissent for the oppressed and dispossessed. Sabari's is a narrative entwined with the forest along the Pampa river - one she comes to dwell in and is at one with.\u003cbr\u003e\nPoignant and piercing, this concluding volume in Volga's trilogy of feminist retellings of the Indian epics drives us to reconsider the meaning of dharma, and rejects ideologies that legitimize conquest and the exploitation of nature. Powerfully translated into English by Purnima Tammireddy, this is a story of resistance - a story for the times we live in, drawn from the classic tale we know so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789369894017\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.1 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50752913539376,"sku":"Prakash_9789369894017","price":239.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91LzL9mz3hL.jpg?v=1770729405","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/on-the-banks-of-the-pampa-a-novel","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
