The Sati Series is a retelling of the stories of Panchakanya from Indian mythology, from the perspective of Women's Leadership in Indian History.Such narrative is important and challenging towards the one sided and patriarchal representation of Indian history across centuries.Ahalya, the first book in the series, was released in August 2020. It has done extremely well, critiqued generously for its feminist context and ecocritical presentation.Kunti, the second book, has just been released.Praises/Critiques of the books, here: http://koraldasgupta.com/thesatiseriesAbout Kunti:Kunti grows up in royalty with leadership in her blood and power in her dreams. Restless curiosity landing her in trouble and unflinching clarity about her inherent supremacy, she negotiates terms with Durvasa, Surya, Bhishma, Vidur, Pandu and finally Indra. A scholar and a warrior with battles beyond the sword, Kunti – one of the biggest matriarchs of history – establishes her primary identity as a visionary strategist and ambitious politician. The book will call for a relooking into the patriarchal origins of 'Mata' and in relation, the pervasive sociopolitical image of tears, sacrifice and suffering of the 'selfless', Indian mother!Ahalya:Birthed by Brahma (the creator), brought up by sage Gautam, who also married her, Ahalya seeks feminine affection and intelligence from Nature! Mothered thus, she immerses into a series of discoveries - of self, relationships, spirituality & sexuality. Armed with such wisdom, she performs the most ambitious experiment, demanding what she deserves...dismissing destiny. Ahalya had been nominated for Popular Choice Award and had entered the longlist for Best Fiction hosted under Times of India's AutHER Awards.Available across locations via Amazon.

TMYS works towards popularising stories from academic research and social significance in collaboration with global thought leaders. We focus on issues of global concern that are applicable to the Indian subcontinent. With an audience base from India, USA, UK, UAE and Canada, TMYS projects have deep student engagements driving an intellectual environment for critical thinking through scholarly and creative writing. We make a conscious attempt to engage scholars with the stories of the contemporary era because personal stories about a place or time are important contributors through which history can be recorded and even understood. We believe that students, who are the chair holders of the near future, should be exposed and involved with such history, so they can evolve into better informed individuals - more empathetic, more creative and better decision makers.
