<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is a collection of poems in English written by the Indian Dalit poet, Chandramohan S, the deal with themes including caste, Dalit people and literature, Islamophobia and other political themes.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Love after Babel is a brilliant new poetry collection by Dalit poet Chandramohan S, a highly charged political treatise. Chandramohan's position as a Dalit writer illuminates his treatment of caste-based oppression, while also creating a sense of radical solidarity between various marginalized identities in contemporary Indian society through his focus on other forms of oppression, namely on experiences of Islamophobia, gender based violence and racism. It is an active political tool to counter multiple forms of oppression in India and across the world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Love after Babel </em>is a book not to miss. ... [it] is a highly charged political treatise best told in the language no other art form could have managed to--in poetry. -- <strong>Suraj Yengde</strong>, Harvard University.</p><p>Chandramohan's poetry is an extraordinary combination of a strong individual voice, crying out against a deeply felt sense of personal abuse, and a sophisticated understanding of the long history and mythology of such abuse, in India but also in the world at large. ... The poems are by turns shocking, moving, and exhilarating. -- <strong>Wendy Doniger</strong>, <em>Mircea Eliade Distinguished Service Professor of History of Religions, University of Chicago </em></p><p>Chandramohan's lines are direct, and even angry. But that does not matter. This is poetry -- at its best. He is perhaps now one of the very few, if not the only Indian poet in English, to have taken the burden of social and political repression, as a distinct and livid political idiom. To read his poems is also painful, but the poetry is in the pain!-- <strong>Ananya S Guha</strong>, <em>Senior Academic in the Indira Gandhi National Open University </em></p><p>Chandramohan's poems are dialogues of the 'self' with the 'other'. He brings to life a world that subverts myths, literary canons, gender and caste stereotypes by pooling in sparklingly new metaphors with sensitivity and care. He draws his images from contemporary incidents as well as myths and legends of yore, and delves deep into the politicized realm, thus 'rupturing the hymen of demarcations' of identity, resistance, repression and love. -- <strong>Babitha Marina Justin, </strong>academic, writer and artist</p><br>
