Sanjay Suri's wanderings through Indian England began while looking for a wife at a marriage mela in Wembley, and his investigation of the lives of diverse communities takes us to: a London college which sells student visas, and the world of illegal immigrants in Southall; the nine nights of dancing in October, when halls are hired for separate castes, partly paid for by the taxpayer; and, 'Multicultural' Leicester, where Indians are driven to live in ghettos by racists. Fascinating, engaging and told with wry humour, these stories show vignettes of everyday life that few suspect can be true in Britain today. Relevant to everyone living in the UK, this important book makes you re-examine our society and the concept of integration.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49579114234129,"sku":"GOR001323918","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184024609X.jpg?v=1751379067"},{"product_id":"1984-dilli-mein-sikhon-par-huye-hamlon-ki-real-story-book-sanjay-suri-9789355219305","title":"1984 Dilli Mein Sikhon par huye Hamlon ki Real Story","description":"संजय सूरी नई दिल्ली में 'द इंडियन एक्सप्रेस' अखबार के एक युवा क्राइम रिपोर्टर थे, जब 31 अक्तूबर, 1984 को प्रधानमंत्री इंदिरा गांधी की उनके अंगरक्षकों ने हत्या कर दी थी। वह उन चुनिंदा पत्रकारों में शामिल थे, जिन्होंने उसके बाद हुई उस भयंकर और बेकाबू सिख-विरोधी हिंसा को देखा था, जबकि पुलिस ने आँखें बंद कर ली थीं।उन्होंने देखा था, कैसे कांग्रेस के कार्यकर्ता लूट के आरोप में गिरफ्तार एक कांग्रेसी सांसद को रिहा करने की माँग कर रहे थे। रिपोर्टिंग के दौरान वह हत्यारों के गैंग से बाल-बाल बच गए थे। बाद में उन्होंने हलफनामा दायर किया, जिसमें कांग्रेस के दो सांसदों से संबंधित उनकी आँखोंदेखी गवाही शामिल थी, और एक चुनावी रैली में उन्होंने पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री राजीव गांधी से सीधा सवाल किया था। नरसंहार की जाँच के लिए गठित कई जाँच आयोगों के सामने भी सूरी ने गवाही दी, हालाँकि उनका कोई ठोस नतीजा नहीं निकला।इस पुस्तक में वह अपने अनुभवों और उस समय अग्रिम मोर्चे पर हिंसा का सामना करनेवाले पुलिस अधिकारियों के व्यापक साक्षात्कारों से हुए ताजा खुलासों का खजाना लेकर आए हैं। सिख विरोधी हिंसा और क्रूरता के पीछे कांग्रेस का हाथ होने के सवाल की यह गहरी छानबीन करती है कि क्यों तीस साल बाद भी जीवित बचे लोगों को न्याय की प्रतीक्षा करनी पड़ रही है। यह पुस्तक झकझोर देनेवाली घटनाओं का वर्णन विशिष्ट रिपोर्ताज और मर्मस्पर्शी कहानियों को जोड़कर करती है, जो आज भी हमें उतनी ही पीड़ा और वेदना का अनुभव कराती हैं।","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51206658326801,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51206660358417,"sku":"NIN9789355219305","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/935521930X.jpg?v=1751191792"},{"product_id":"1984-the-anti-sikh-riots-and-after-book-sanjay-suri-9789351770701","title":"1984: The Anti-Sikh Riots and After","description":"\u003cp\u003eA chilling eyewitness account of the anti-Sikh violence\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sanjay Suri was a young crime reporter with The Indian Express newspaper in New Delhi when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her bodyguards on 31 October 1984. He was among the few journalists to experience the full horror of the anti-Sikh violence that followed and carried on unchecked for the next couple of days, while the police looked the other way.He saw a Congress MP demanding the release of party workers who had been arrested for loot. He had a narrow escape from a gang of killers while out reporting. He later filed affidavits that included eyewitness accounts relating to two Congress MPs, and confronted former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at an election rally. Suri also testified before several commissions of inquiry set up to investigate the massacres---though very little came of these.In this book, he brings together a wealth of fresh revelations, arising from his own experiences, and from extensive interviews with police officers then in the front line of facing the violence. Humane but chilling, Suri's account is backed by a thorough examination of existing records and the provisions of the Indian legal system.Taking a close look at the question of the Congress hand behind the brutalities and why the survivors continue to wait for justice even thirty years later, 1984: The Anti-Sikh Violence and After remains urgent even today. It combines expert reportage with gripping recollections to tell a riveting story, leaving us disturbed and moved in equal measure.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51784362492177,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51784362852625,"sku":"NIN9789351770701","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51885610369297,"sku":"GOR007703882","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789351770701.jpg?v=1751935789"},{"product_id":"gandhian-affair-book-sanjay-suri-9789353570804","title":"A Gandhian Affair","description":"Hindi cinema, ever since Independence, has revolved almost entirely around issues of sex and money. This may seem odd given the conservative taste of the times. But that we do not 'see' sex does not hide just how much sex there is in the cinema. As for money, a nagging theme is the impact of money - or the lack of it - on sex. Sanjay Suri argues that Hindi cinema was an unlikely offspring of the Father of the Nation - the product of Gandhi's celibacy and austerity. His heroic retreat from wealth and sexuality was written into the cinema and then elaborately filmed shot by shot. Suri draws on numerous examples - from Mother India to Do Bigha Zameen; Shree 420 to Pyaasa; Sahib, Bibi aur Ghulam to Guide; and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to Lage Raho Munnabhai - to show how cinema was made within well-defined moral fences that were built with dos and don'ts about sex and money. A Gandhian Affair is a history of India through the preoccupations of its cinema.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52134007472401,"sku":"NLS9789353570804","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789353570804.jpg?v=1780566999"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-sanjay-suri.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
