Curfewed Night by Basharat Peer.
About the Book‘Beautifully written, brutally honest and deeply hurtful.’ Khushwant Singh. Basharat Peer was a teenager when the separatist movement exploded in Kashmir in 1989. Over the following years countless young men, seduced by the romance of the militant, fuelled by feelings of injustice, crossed over the Line of Control to train in Pakistani army camps. Peer was sent off to boarding school in Aligarh to keep out of trouble. He finished college and became a journalist in Delhi. But Kashmir—angrier, more violent, more hopeless—was never far away. In 2003, the young journalist left his job and returned to his homeland to search out the stories and the people which had haunted him. In Curfewed Night he draws a harrowing portrait of Kashmir and its people. Here are stories of a young man’s initiation into a Pakistani training camp; a mother who watches her son forced to hold an exploding bomb; a poet who finds religion when his entire family is killed. Of politicians living in refurbished torture chambers and former militants dreaming of discotheques; of idyllic villages rigged with landmines, temples which have become army bunkers, and ancient sufi shrines decapitated in bomb blasts. And here is finally the old story of the return home—and the discovery that there may not be any redemption in it. Lyrical, spare, gutwrenching and intimate, Curfewed Night is a stunning book and an unforgettable portrait of Kashmir in war.

The Palace of Illusions by Banerjee Divakaruni.
DescriptionThe novel follows Draupadi, from her extraordinary birth from fire through her marriage to the five Pandava brothers and the events that eventually lead to the Kurukshetra War. Unlike traditional retellings, the story focuses strongly on Draupadi's inner world and her experiences as a woman living within a patriarchal society.The “Palace of Illusions” refers to the magnificent palace at Indraprastha, which represents both beauty and illusion. Throughout the novel, themes such as love, power, destiny, friendship, revenge, gender, and the difference between appearance and reality are explored.The book is especially notable for presenting Draupadi as an independent, complex, and emotionally powerful character, rather than simply as a figure in the background of the Mahabharata.In short: The Palace of Illusions is a feminist and imaginative retelling of the Mahabharata that gives Draupadi a central voice and explores the epic through her eyes.
