It is a project to promote indie author.
In other words it is peer to peer support for all independently published authors.
Here are the questionnaire to fill up by the authors.
I shall add pages for all the books added by the authors and share with them with the authors so that they can further share publicly.
This share would enable an author multiply visibility of their books among circles of other indie authors.
Lets' promote together.
Disclaimer: This promotion is completely free.
It is about the writers (author, whatever they think they are and whatever their readers think they are). It is also about the readers.
Two nights ago I was forwarded with a bunch of poems. All of them are very weepy. The poet herself wept while reading. All of them about some women who never fought back but submitted to the aggression even before being succumbed to it!
Have you seen any animal do that? Isn’t that against our nature, as animals? Aren’t we, the women, the humane females, though political, but animals?
In this argument, it has come to my mind that we’re probably more political than being animals. Because we want us to be loved. We want us to be liked. Hence, we conform to what the people, the consumer, the patron like.
If our patron likes us to lie, we lie. If our consumers prefer to find glorified victimization, we do victimize our protagonists. We don’t let our protagonist win. Instead we prefer them to be bitten, beaten, eaten raw.
That’s why the poet wrote weepy poems about defeated women.
She claims by bringing those stories she is reflecting how misogynous the society is.
Really?
Or, is it the other way round?
Misogyny loves to flaunt its overpowering charisma by enervating women. So through organized, syndicated, incorporated media they shove through our throat (I meant, mind) the stories of defeated enervated women. The nerve centers for sympathy get titillated by the depiction of pain of the bitten one. The media that promote such works get richer and sprinkle a part of its booty at the propagators (poets, writers, authors) of its misogynistic cause, though the propagators keep thinking that they fought against misogyny. (Ha ha), while they actually conformed to misogyny and fed misogyny their own existence. (ha ha).
My weapon to fight misogyny is to glorify the winning battles of the strong women. Life is not about win or loss until we lose it. Life is full of myriad battles against odds. Sometimes, some of those odds can be identified to be misogyny, but we, men and women, throughout our lives fight these battles.
So, I love strong women in real life and in fiction. I love them in their winning fights, in their win-win fights, in their no-win fights. There is no battle lost in life because war is never over unless life is over. No one loses a battle in life, unless they lose their life.
If you are really against misogyny and really want it to lose, then start supporting strong women. The might of those women is not only in their muscles but also in their brain. Straight or crooked they play the game to outplay their opponents. Nice or rude, they become whatever they need to be whenever they need to be. Black, white or gray their choices do not matter. Only matters are the fact that they fought it to win. Only matters their choice to fight to overpower misogyny. Only matters that they do not yield to misogynistic charade of propagating misogyny in garb of resistance to misogyny.
So be tired of the victimization by misogyny and become a fan today of strong fighting women. If you would like to know more about them, then you have a choice here. Sixty Two authors brought to you more than a hundred fiction about strong women. All of them have been published independently, by the authors themselves, and also marketed by the authors themselves.
I am proud to be part of them. My Fatima from “Maternal Might” and Reema from “How to Steal a Pond” are fighting their battles alongside a hundred plus others. Will you support them?
If you are fighting against misogyny, then support these authors by reading their books and speaking about them, posting about their books on social media. Only then your fight against misogyny would become real. Otherwise, it would all remain fiction, created by misogynous components of society, of misogynistic pleasure, for benefiting misogynistic purposes.
Once more the choice is yours. You can choose your fight over misogyny here. Or, you can lose it by submitting to it by going gung-ho in protest against it even before being succumbed.
It’s a question of life or death in the hands of misogyny.
Last chance, here’s your weapon.
Fatima had three daughters. She used to live in Bangladesh. She was frail and poor. She was unable to take care of herself and her daughters. One day she grabbed the opportunity that appeared before her. It led her to further opportunities. Eventually, her burden of maternity became her power that set her on the path of emancipation from poverty.
Abel and Joshua used to live in Israel. They wished to have children of their own. There were physical obstacles and social dilemmas. They overcame everything by the actions of their visionary friend, modern technologies and ventures in service sectors.
Fatima became instrumental in the creation of the family of Abel and Joshua. All of them got what each of them wanted by catering to each other's needs. In this story of personal achievements, some philosophical arguments on national identity reached a resolve.

Hello there,
Hope you all are good. Hope you all are enjoying yourselves. I am back with a new book. Its name is Maternal Might.
Maternal Might is a short read fiction. It is about a mother’s desperate endeavors in search of livelihood. It is, also, about fathers’ endeavor for family.
Poor, frail Fatima in Bangladesh was desperate to earn bread for her daughters. Her daughters had already learnt to digest hunger. They mustered the patience to see if they would get some food.
Business owners Joshua and Abel, from Israel, set their mind to start their family. One of them relocated his business to the other’s city. One of them was ready to risk a physical makeover to become parents.
Can Fatima and the couple Joshua and Abel, cater to their respective needs?
Maternal Might is rooted in a podcast I heard a few years ago. It speaks about women empowerment and gay rights. It depicts how humanity can reach the pinnacle of harmony by means of modern technologies and visionary initiative.
Short stories by Dr. Manos Chowdhury of Bangladesh helped me build the world of Fatima. Blogs and Vlogs about Israel helped me build the world of Joshua and Abel.
Maternal Might is ultimately an extraordinary tale of human actualization. It is the story of real union which seems impossible from a traditional viewpoint.
It is now out on Amazon Kindle and free with Kindle Unlimited.

As COVID-19 invaded India, the entire media coverage was diverted towards the horror of the pandemic. In the midst of global tragedy, the agricultural reforms act came into effect. The debate hungry populace embarrass the left, the right and the centre of the new law. It appeared that 2019 amendments of the CItizenship Act, 1955 was just passé.
However, citizenship of India will remain a matter of concern for all the citizens till India stands as a sovereign nation. Therefore, debate over the latest amendments of the Citizenship Act, 1955 is still pertinent to the nation.
This argument can be substantiated in the latest outbursts of protests against CAA in Assam. Current debate is about breach of Assam Accord by CAA, 2019.
Assam Accord is Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, 1955 as amended in 1985 [by Act 65 of 1985, s.2, with effect from December 7, 1985].
It has three landmark years in its definitions of different sections. These are 1964, 1966 and 1971.
What does each of these years mean?
1964 is the year of the Constituting Foreigners’ Tribunal. It was the first step towards separating illegal immigrants in the entire territory of India.
1966 is important year because January 1, 1966 was marked as the starting date for persons entering Assam from [specified territory]* whose name was to be deleted from subsequent electoral rolls (voters’ list) as mentioned in Subsection (3) of Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, 1955 as amended.
1971 is important as Midnight of March 24, 1971 was marked to be the end date of entry of persons from [specified territory]* whose name was to be deleted from subsequent electoral rolls (voters’ list) as referred in preceding paragraph.
* As mentioned in Assam Accord, [specified territory] is probably the areas belonging to Pakistan till 1971 and then to Bangladesh. This has not been explained in the Citizenship Act, 1955 as amended till now.
As soon as, a person is detected to be a foreigner by definition of entry to India from [specified territory]* between January 1, 1966 and March 25, 1971 such a person would be removed from the electoral roll though such person can keep their Indian passport.
Moreover, March 25, 1971 is the latest date of publication of the electoral roll to be compiled into the Legacy Data prepared for the National Register of Citizens in Assam.
This appears to be discordant with the Assam Accord. Assam Accord declined to include people in electoral rolls who entered from the [specified territory]* into India in between January 1, 1966 and March 25, 1971 as soon as these people are identified to be foreigners with Indian Passport. Moreover, the Assam Accord attempted to put an embargo of ten years on these people becoming citizens and subsequently voters in India.
Preparation of Legacy data with electoral rolls published before March 25, 1971 was governed by the RULE 4A & SCHEDULE OF CITIZENSHIP RULES 2003 (As amended by 1. G. S. R. 803(E), dated 9th November, 2009 (with effect from 9/11/2009.) This rule unambiguously declared to exclude all persons identified to be foreigners by provisions of Assam Accord to be excluded from the Legacy Data [Rule 3(2) under Schedule supporting Rule 4A of Citizenship Rule laying out SPECIAL PROVISION AS TO MANNER OF PREPARATION OF NATIONAL REGISTER OF INDIAN CITIZEN IN STATE OF ASSAM]. Thus, the process theoretically resolved the conflict of point of references of definition of citizens on the basis of electoral rolls of 1951 and three subsequent electoral rolls published until March 24, 1971.
The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 has marked December 31, 2014 to be the last date of entry to India from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh for people belonging to defined religious groups to be considered for Indian Citizenship. The matter being sub-judice the framing of rules regarding this proviso of the amendment is still pending. Unless the rules, which are the executing procedure of the act, under this proviso takes forms and shapes, it cannot be said if this proviso is in discordance with the Assam Accord.

I have so far divulged [Live in this link] that Indian Citizenship Decoded/ Beyond Emotional Outbursts and Political Predilections have come into existence from an urge to know the definition of citizenship in India. With then ensuing controversy over the recent amendments of the Citizenship Act, 1955, curiosity also dragged the search to find the root of the controversy. Thus, the book is full of details about the controversy regarding the controversy.
In my previous post about the book [linked here], I have shed light on how I have approached the bare acts. The approach has been the same in discussing the stance of the Constitution of India on the matters of citizenship.
The book opens with the perception of citizenship in the Constitution of India. Then it goes through the nitty gritties of the Citizenship Act, 1955. The chapter has highlighted all the amendments made by the Citizenship (Amendment), 2019 with the Act of 1955. This has been the blatant attempt to understand the seed of the controversy.
As an obvious outcome, the book has gone through understanding the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003. It made clear that the processes followed in preparation of the National Register of the Citizens in Assam was execution of the aforementioned rule.
Therefore, the step by step process of NRC has been noted in the book. The forms used, the enumerations in the forms - all were discussed with reference to the aforementioned rules.
Finally, the book took on the controversy. Sifting through the cacophony, the debate over the legitimacy of the amendments of 2019 of the Citizenship Act, 1955 were narrowed down only to two questions. Those two questions have been discussed with references to the Constitution of India, verdicts by the Honorable Supreme Court of India, some research papers, some reports by the foreign governments and by the United Nations and some international Non-governmental organizations.
Yet the book abstained from putting forward its own opinion.

It was January 2020. Conventional Media was gushing out debates on the legitimacy of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. Social media was abuzz with protests against allegedly communal, unequal and, hence, illegal amendments of the Citizenship Act, 1955.
The name of the law appeared cumbersome to the tongue. It shrunk and evolved to CAA.
The Kolkata book fair was noisy with “CAA CAA CAA Chih Chih Chih” (Ka Ka Ka Shame Shame Shame) shouts. The literary environment was polluted with political propaganda “Kagoj Dekhabo Na” (Won’t Show Any Paper).
It was fun to absorb the conundrum being at the core of it.
But it was shortened.
Shri Rajarshi Chattopadhyay, Editor, Nayadashak (Webmag), asked me to write about the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.
I started digging. I failed to produce a relevant write-up for Nayadashak. Instead, my notes started taking the form of a book.
I was conscious that the debates over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 were (are) still subjudice before the Honourable Supreme Court. Hence, my writings must not cross the boundaries of impartial observations. The author must not cross the limits of an ordinary citizen by drawing inferences based on historic references.
Yet I have tried to highlight the facts that are never pointed out overtly in myriad politically colorful cacophony. Because, twenty years ago when the media was abuzz with pre-56 status of Kashmir, there was no clear definition of the status in the media. Nor was it explicitly mentioned in the polity textbooks. But analytical reads of those books revealed that 1956 was a waterparting in the history of Independent India with respect to accession of Kashmir to India. In “Indian Citizenship Decoded/ Beyond Emotional Outbursts and Political Predilections”, I tried to eradicate the confusion created by implicit narrations and ambiguous explanations.
In this book I have literally decoded the code (law) of Indian citizenship by dismantling articles/ sections, subsections, clauses, subclauses into conditional statements. Bare Acts are prosaic reads. They appear cryptic, too. I have tried to untangle the statements of the acts through nested/ cascaded conditional statements that were condensed inside the statements of bare acts.
