Description
Writer and revolutionary worker Yashpal (1903-1976) was an important member of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA), a radical political group involved in India's freedom struggle. After his arrest in 1932, he famously turned-in his own words-'from bullet to bulletin'. This was the beginning of a long and prolific career as a novelist, short story writer, journalist and political commentator. This book offers a reappraisal of Yashpal's work and legacy, critically examining his crucial role in both the literary and the socio-political history of India and focusing on his preoccupation with questions of gender and sexuality. An international group of scholars, working in both Hindi and English, has contributed to this volume, which also features a personal essay by Yashpal's son Anand.
