 This book, Hindu Studies: Foundations and Frameworks, has a critical engagement with 'Hindu Studies' as a seminal protectorate of research in India. While exploring the literary, philosophical, cultural, historical and social aspects of the Hindu literary homily and pedagogy, it resonates with a multidisciplinary and scientific approach to Hinduism. This research, not by a whisker, is reliant on a sheer belief system; it is, rather, a study of transdisciplinary domains and allied disciplines like Theology, Philosophy, History, Sociology, Anthropology, Literature and Art History—Cultural Materialism being the theoretical undercurrent. The chapters are experimental and ambitious; they propose the most penetrating paradigm shift through the assorted traditions, literary texts, practices and theories within Hinduism. The thrust of the research is on methodological approaches, historical gradient, ethnographic research, textual interpretations, regional and vernacular traditions, contemporary relevance, poetics and aesthetics, comparative models and social and cultural contexts vis-à-vis Hindu Studies.

MEDUSA (A Collection of Poems) by Nandini Sahu:

 


MEDUSA is a fierce poetic reclamation of the silenced woman, where Greek myth engaged with Indian consciousness, and the so called monster is a metaphor for female agency, resilience and selfhood.


An Amazon bestseller published by Black Eagle Books in 2025, MEDUSA transforms poetry into an incandescent act of resistance. It breaks the pedestal, reclaims the voice and celebrates the woman in all her complexity. This is the tenth poetry collection of Nandini Sahu.

A selection of the poems of Jayanta Mahapatra and a critical introduction by Professor Nandini Sahu





 

Amazon's Best Selling author Nandini Sahu's recent poetry collection, A SONG, HALF & HALF

A Song, Half & Half is a  range of Nandini's love poems, written between 14th February 2021 and 14th February 2022. The poems play around the poet’s ideas on complex human emotions, relationships, romantic love, even humour and of course the existential issues of life. The tone and tenor of these poems are a different ball game altogether; here one can notice a sea change in the moods, modes and mores of the mythical poet Nandini. Here, she reveals as much as she conceals. Penned as soliloquies from her covid bed, in memory of her love, and then the rekindling of love in her ‘Ocean’, these are her politically incorrect poems. Here Nandini celebrates an anonymous love that is still knocking her door, and the personae has left the door ajar.
