साहित्यिक चकाचौन्ध से आकर्षित एक दलित नौजवान साहित्य की दुनिया में अपना सिक्का जमाने के लिए दिल्ली आ पहुँचता है। एक छोटे शहर से आये, विराट को जल्द ही समझ आने लगता है कि इस प्रतिस्पर्धी माहौल में सफलता की सीढ़ियाँ चढ़ने के लिए लेखन-प्रतिभा के अतिरिक्त और भी बहुत कुछ चाहिए। साहित्यिक राजनीति, पुरस्कारों के लिए दाँवपेंच और लालफीताशाही को करीब से अनुभव कर विराट का मोहभंग हो जाता है और अपने शहर दतिया जाने वाली ट्रेन में बैठकर वह अपना पहला उपन्यास लिखना शुरू करता है - रपटीले राजपथ। पिछले कुछ वर्षों में इंदिरा दाँगी को उनके लेखन के लिए कई पुरस्कारों से नवाज़ा गया है जिनमें उल्लेखनीय हैं – ‘भारतीय ज्ञानपीठ नवलेखन अनुशंसा पुरस्कार २०१४’ और ‘दुष्यंत कुमार स्मारक पांडुलिपि संग्रहालय पुरस्कार २०१५’। उनकी अभी तक पाँच पुस्तकें प्रकाशित हो चुकी हैं जिनमें उपन्यास और कहानी संकलन शामिल हैं। कई भाषाओं की जानकार इंदिरा दाँगी ने मौलिक लेखन के अलावा अन्य भाषाओं में कहानियों का अनुवाद भी किया है।

Two women wait for him at two different ends of the crossroads. He knows which path is his, but he can’t walk that path till he has attended to the other.
One perfect couple. An obsessed seductress. A bharatnatyam show in Manhattan, New York. One hell of a love story.
Raj Shekhar Subramanian and Manasi, both Bharatanatyam dancers, are made for each other. Till an obsessed fan, Vatsala Pandit, enters their lives, testing the man’s character and his wife’s patience. But then why does Manasi invite Vatsala to her Bharatanatyam show, for a dance of passion with her husband—the very man Vatsala wants to take from her? Why did Shekhar agree to take in Vatsala as his student in the first place?
This singular love story deftly explores the many facets of love—mutual trust, obsessiveness, the arrogance of passion, the need for self-fulfillment , the yearning for the beloved, and the complexity of modern relationships.

हिन्दी के प्रख्यात साहित्यकार रांगेय राघव ने विशिष्ट कवियों, कलाकारों और चिंतकों के जीवन पर आधारित उपन्यासों की एक श्रृंखला लिखकर साहित्य की एक बड़ी आवश्यकता को पूर्ण किया है। प्रस्तुत उपन्यास मध्यकालीन अग्रणी कवि गोस्वामी तुलसीदास के जीवन पर आधारित विशिष्ट उपन्यास है जिसमें उनकी पत्नी रत्नावली, जो लेखक के अनुसार स्वयं कवयित्री थीं, को केंद्र मानकर उनके जीवन में राम-भक्ति के उदय और विकास को प्रदर्शित किया गया है। तुलसीदास एक महान् भक्त कवि थे। उन्होंने हिंदू धर्म को पुनः प्रतिष्ठित करने का महत्त्वपूर्ण कार्य किया। मुगलों के धार्मिक अभियान को रोकने की दिशा में उनका यह विशिष्ट योगदान था। उन्होंने देश भर में रामलीला का भी आरंभ और प्रचलन किया जो आम जनता में हिंदू धर्म को बनाये रखने में सफल हुई। इस आंदोलन के ही परिणामस्वरूप हिन्दू समाज को उसकी व्यापक संस्कृति के आधार पर संगठित होने का आधार मिला। रांगेय राघव का यह उपन्यास आदि से अन्त तक पठनीय है।

Description
Ravana, perhaps the most popular Rakshasa in Indian mythology, is known as the villain in the Ramayana and the epic would not have been what it is without this great Rakshasa.
Yet Ravana is much more than a mere abductor. Born out of the union of a Rishi and Rakshasi, a devout Shiv-bhakt and a mighty king, Ravana is no ordinary Rakshasa.
This book attempts to bring out a comprehensive and well-rounded character of Ravana. The various little dots of information about the Rakshasa king as given in Valmiki Ramayana have been picked with care, collated and compared with presentations in several other versions of the Ramayana, and the long, hoary lineage of the demon king painstakingly put together to present this villain of villains as a legend worthy of greater attention.

Description:
“Redemption can result from reaching out when we have many good reasons not to. It can come from forgiving the unforgivable. Redemption is often the result of opening a closed heart -- no matter how justified we have been in shutting it. Redemptions are the hard mental, emotional and spiritual reversals in life. The woman who was in my office when this book was conceived said about the difficulty of redemptive work: “It’s like making a U-turn with your face pressed up against granite.” And although redemptive paths often require great exertion, the success of that effort is not always in the hands of the one making the effort. I think redemption straddles the border between the territory of the psyche -- where effort and intention are useful and necessary -- and the mysterious dimensions of spirituality from which grace emerges.”
-- from the Introduction to Redemption Stories: Unwasted Pain
PRAISE FOR Redemption Stories: Unwasted Pain
For her book, Redemption Stories: Unwasted Pain, psychotherapist Mary Ciofalo collected the narratives of people who have experienced trauma and come out the other side...Despite the sadness in these pages, Ciofalo’s book is not depressing. In fact, the overall effect is hopeful, even inspiring. The message is that there are second chances -- even for people who have committed hideous crimes, or been victims of senseless violence. -- quoted from Connie Matthiessen, New Bernal Journal
This book is definitely a brightly shining candle in a sometimes-darkening world. Redemption Stories will mean a lot to people who are lucky enough to find it... I spent much of last night reading it. And that’s the first and most important comment: this book is compelling reading -- and not just because of the stories themselves, but because of the very clear and compelling telling.

Description:
The classical Vedic texts that deal with large-scale sacrificial ritual and those writings that deal with domestic ritual have traditionally been treated as unrelated. The former are devoted to the explication of rituals that are dominated by wealthy male elites; the latter concern humble private ceremonies more open to female participation. Reflections on Resemblance, Ritual and Religion argues that there is in fact, a fundamental connection between these two large and important bodies of Indic religious literature.
