The women in this book are not extraordinary or famous, and yet their stories and testimonies, narrated here by one of India's best-known women journalists, provide a passionate, often deeply touching, revelation of what it means to be a woman in India today. The women tell of marriage and widowhood, unfair work practices, sexual servitude, the problems of bearing and rearing children in poverty, religion, discrimination, other forms of exploitation ... Yet they also talk of fulfilling relationships, the joys of marriage and children, the exhilaration of breaking free from the bonds of tradition, ritual, caste, religion ... Interwoven with all this is the story of one woman's journey--of how Anees Jung, the author, brought up in purdah, succeeded in shaking off the restricting influences of her traditional upbringing to become a highly successful, independent career woman, still a comparatively rare phenomenon in India. As such, the book is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the women of India-the silent majority that is now beginning to make itself heard.

About the Book: Osho is a provocative figure. He was controversial during his lifetime, he is now, and he always will be. It is fortunate that it is so, because if you read this book and understand Osho’s life, you will be forced to question all your ideas about religion, spirituality and meditation. Most of all, you will be forced to question yourself. This is the gift of this book, written by an insider who lived with Osho for 14 years, as part of his commune, riding the intense whirlwind of the mystic’s vision. About the Author: Subhuti was a career journalist who worked as a political reporter in the British Houses of Parliament. In 1976, he travelled to India to meet Osho, then known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, in his ashram in Pune. He became initiated as his disciple and immediately began to have mystical experiences, which he attributed to the ashram’s powerful energy field. For 14 years, he lived and worked in Osho’s communes, first in Pune and later at Rancho Rajneesh in Oregon, USA. He stayed with Osho until the mystic died in January 1990. Since then, Subhuti has worked as an author and freelance journalist, dividing his time between the UK, Europe and India.

At the end of the sixteenth century and the turn of the first Islamic millennium, the powerful Mughal emperor Akbar declared himself the most sacred being on earth. The holiest of all saints and above the distinctions of religion, he styled himself as the messiah reborn. Yet the Mughal emperor was not alone in doing so. In this field-changing study, A. Azfar Moin explores why Muslim sovereigns in this period began to imitate the exalted nature of Sufi saints. Uncovering a startling yet widespread phenomenon, he shows how the charismatic pull of sainthood (wilayat)—rather than the draw of religious law (sharia) or holy war (jihad)—inspired a new style of sovereignty in Islam. A work of history richly informed by the anthropology of religion and art, The Millennial Sovereign traces how royal dynastic cults and shrine-centered Sufism came together in the imperial cultures of Timurid Central Asia, Safavid Iran, and Mughal India. By juxtaposing imperial chronicles, paintings, and architecture with theories of sainthood, apocalyptic treatises, and manuals on astrology and magic, Moin uncovers a pattern of Islamic politics shaped by Sufi and millennial motifs. He shows how alchemical symbols and astrological rituals enveloped the body of the monarch, casting him as both spiritual guide and material lord. Ultimately, Moin offers a striking new perspective on the history of Islam and the religious and political developments linking South Asia and Iran in early-modern times.
