The book ‘And Quietly Come Dawn—Haryana: Its Identity Issues, Grassroots Movements & Alternative Endeavours is m eticulously researched with ground reporting and long, painstaking interviews. This book tells not one story, but so many that individual histories and collective memories become a heady synthesis. For instance, the First War of Independence against the East India Company of white British colonial rulers. Or, the Great Indian Mutiny of 1857. It is also a documentation of the current scenario, the dogged working class and women’s liberation struggle, the formations of trade unions and workers’ collectives, the difficulties of waging a relentless battle for justice against a cold-blooded government and its administration and police, the uncanny and persistent caste question, and the inequalities of land distribution and land reforms, the new reassertion of Dalits and other marginalised groups, much to the anger of the dominant castes.

  "Marginalised But Not Defeated" by Tarun Kanti Bose, published in 2023 by Uppal Publishing House, is a compelling exploration of the struggles and resilience of communities dependent on natural resources in India.

WHAT GROK 3 SAYS ABOUT ME

-
Image
Tarun Kanti Bose is a multifaceted figure whose work as an activist, journalist, and intellectual reflects a deep commitment to social justice, grassroots empowerment, and amplifying the voices of marginalized communities.
