The Pauranic story of a pious king called Trishanku, who probably still hangs between the heaven and earth, is used as a metaphor to capture the different nuances of dilemmas which we all face in life as individuals and as citizens. Based on both historical data and what sociologists call ‘participant observation’, this account dwells on the predicaments and struggles of post-independence India. It begins with a depiction of life in a moffusil town and moves on to examine closely the issues of caste, religion, governance, corruption, education, science, culture, and lot more. Presented with rare verve and wit, and by using the lens of both historical and personal experiences, these ‘rumblings’ help unfurl layers of life in contemporary India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789361771613\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.3 x 6.1 x 1.6 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50135272128816,"sku":"DRG.ePrimus_9789361771613","price":522.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81YebqGzBSL.jpg?v=1757602324","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/primus-books-dilemmas-of-a-trishanku-memory-self-and-society-in-contemporary-india-by-deepak-kumar","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
