The story of the father of the Indian Constitution Born in April 1891into a poor Mahar family, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was a victim of caste discrimination for most of his early life. And while India struggled against the oppressions of British Raj, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, popularly known as Babasaheb, continued his struggle against the oppressions of the Indian caste system, the social discriminations against Dalits in India. He struggled so the underprivileged sections of Indian society could enjoy equal political rights and be treated with equal respect. An Indian jurist, politician, philosopher, anthropologist, historian and economist, Babasaheb was one of the earliest Dalit s to earn a college degree. He grew to be the principal architect of Indian constitution. He published journals, periodicals, and launched active movements for social and political freedom for India s Dalit community. Ambedkar, in the later years of his life, turned to Buddhism, preached it and finally made a formal conversion. This book explores the life and times of the independent India's first law minister who fought against the discriminations inflicted by his own countrymen, who lived his life acting only in the interest of people. Payal Kapadia is the author of the very popular Wisha Wozzawriter published by Puffin in 2012. She lives in Bombay

I wish I was a writer, sighed Wisha. Well, you are Wisha Wozzariter, said the Bookworm. So I am! But I don t quite know where to begin. At the beginning, of course, said the Bookworm, rolling his eyes. Ten-year-old Wisha wishes to be a writer. When she meets Bookworm, she stops wishing and starts writing. With him, she rides on the Thought Express to the Marketplace of Ideas, the Superhero Salon and the Bargain Bazaar, and encounters a motley crew of characters. Along the way, she discovers the creative process by which anything beautiful and lasting is created, a process in which Faith, Luck and Destiny play no mean part. Roger Dahl s zany illustrations bring Wisha s imaginative world to life. Join Wisha on this rollicking writer s adventure and find out how she finally fulfils her dream of becoming a writer!

  • Documentaire
Quelque part en Inde, une étudiante en cinéma écrit des lettres à l’amoureux dont elle a été séparée. A sa voix se mêlent des images, fragments récoltés au gré de moments de vie, de fêtes et de manifestations qui racontent un monde assombri par des changements radicaux. Le film nous entraine dans les peurs, les désirs, les souvenirs d’une jeunesse en révolte, éprise de liberté.
