The Onge of Andaman Islands
|
Even though five isolated tribes indigenous to the Andaman and Nicobar
islands survived the South Asian tsunami, devastation to their habitat may
lead to their eventual extinction, experts believe. The Onge tribe, one of
the world's last hunter-gatherer tribes, fled to high ground before the wave
struck, but could now run out of food due to the amount of marine life
destroyed by the great wave and because their inland rivers have been
flooded by sea water.

'Death at my Doorstep'
Khushwant Singh the irreverent, humorous, writer-provocateur has
done it again. Taking the topic of Death, he puts together a
collection of essays on a broad range of people whom he knew
well in his life. He then proceeds to tear them apart and put

book on South Asian larger than life characters. We wish Khushwant Singh a long life.

 'Bookless
in Baghdad'
Promoting the cause of Indian English literature through his
broodings and thoughts, Shashi Tharoor takes the reader with him
on his path to the global literary scene. The power of the word
as being mightier than the sword is brought through the chapters
and words of Churchill , Neruda , Havel, the great Indian epic Mahabharata, and
other characters . It is difficult to show the sort of passion
with which Tharoor has fertilized the
Indian literary soil.
