    “Book Descriptions: On a day of earthquake and rain, a young man gets bad news. Ripden, his childhood friend, has been swept away by a landslide.
    So he makes his way back to Malbung, the village of his birth.

    The memories come rushing back. Of growing up together; the harsh teachers at school and playing truant; bullies and backyard fights. He remembers, also, the day they ran away from home to Lolay to find out about Ripden’s father, vanished years earlier in the revolution. There the pair meets Nasim, a man who spends his days breaking rocks by the riverside.

    Nasim narrates to them an extraordinary tale from his younger days. Of himself and other child soldiers of the revolution; building pipe guns and homemade bombs; fighting pitched battles with the police; training in jungle camps and enduring drink-fuelled nighttime raids; witnessing a massacre in the town square; and suffering a final, unforgivable betrayal.

    Set in the foothill town of Kalimpong in the Himalaya, Song of the Soil brings alive the story of the revolution for a separate state of Gorkhaland in the late 1980s. Clear-sightedly, it lays bare the many faces of violence. And in doing so, it asks the vital question: Who, ultimately, wins in a revolution—and who loses?

    ‘This intense, evocatively translated novella takes us into the beating heart of a mountain community as it examines hopes,
    aspirations and betrayed dreams. Truly a song of the soil, it carries the breath of life.’—Namita Gokhale, writer

    ‘A thing of beauty—and an important book
    that deserves to be read in many languages.’
    —Prajwal Parajuly, writer”
