{"product_id":"portraits-from-ayodhya-9789381626214","title":"Portraits from Ayodhya","description":"Almost two decades after the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, Scharada Dubey, an Ayodhya resident, studies the barricaded Ram Janmabhoomi site, travels through temple alleyways, visits the residents, ordinary and prominent, of a town that has known no peace. What follows is Portraits of Ayodhya - a startling compilation of oral history, a mighty jigsaw puzzle of voices from across the town. In this book of narrative non-fiction, we meet Ayodhya denizens with varying pasts, residents from all walks of life - from the allegedly omnipotent Mahant Gyandas, head of the Hanuman Garhi temple, to the unassuming Ram Sharan Das, occupied in cleaning gutters, and the gentle musician, Gauri Shankar Das. Even as we witness two sides to every story, we spot a thread binding all the major figures: a love for Ayodhya, a longing for quiet, a struggle for a sense of belonging. If the present is no more than the collective swell of everyday voices, if places are defined by people, Portraits of Ayodhya is testament to this belief. Unflinchingly honest and sincere, this is a book that presents an Ayodhya never seen before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-6355847\"\u003eScharada Dubey\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tranquebar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.08w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789381626214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9381626219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS054000\"\u003eSocial History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS017000\"\u003eAsia | India \u0026amp; South Asia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tranquebar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44697331302637,"sku":"9789381626214","price":22.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_147d237c-4811-441b-b112-f87e8232681c.jpg?v=1703816109","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/portraits-from-ayodhya-9789381626214","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
