THE CURSED WEDDING NIGHT' is a collection of one hundred two poems. It contains twelve long poems, sixty-four sonnets and twenty-six short poems. Every poem is pregnant with wits, far-reaching fragrance and dappled hues that attract the readers. 'The Cursed Wedding Night', itself is a poem that shows a new bride in veil withers with her beauty and burns on the bed, in the fire of departure, on the very first night of her marriage. Her husband, a soldier, leaves her to burn on the bed of flowers in dim love-light, without unveiling the bride's beauty and goes to fight on the border for the sake of the nation. 'GANDHI: THE LEGEND' brings the readers back from the world of destruction such as "Molesting the Earth by mining, Invaders are going to touch the breasts of Moon and Mars, If diversity in ideology kills fraternity, this world would turn into a heap of dust."

This is a book about religious conceptions of trees within the cultural world of tree worship at the tree shrines of northern India. Sacred trees have been worshipped for millennia in India and today tree worship continues there among all segments of society. In the past, tree worship was regarded by many Western anthropologists and scholars of religion as a prime example of childish animism or decadent ''popular religion.'' More recently this aspect of world religious cultures is almost completely ignored in the theoretical concerns of the day. David Haberman hopes to demonstrate that by seriously investigating the world of Indian tree worship, we can learn much about not only this prominent feature of the landscape of South Asian religion, but also something about the cultural construction of nature as well as religion overall. The title People Trees relates to the content of this book in at least six ways. First, although other sacred trees are examined, the pipal-arguably the most sacred tree in India-receives the greatest attention in this study. The Hindi word ''pipal'' is pronounced similarly to the English word ''people.''Second, the ''personhood'' of trees is a commonly accepted notion in India. Haberman was often told: ''This tree is a person just like you and me.'' Third, this is not a study of isolated trees in some remote wilderness area, but rather a study of trees in densely populated urban environments. This is a study of trees who live with people and people who live with trees. Fourth, the trees examined in this book have been planted and nurtured by people for many centuries. They seem to have benefited from human cultivation and flourished in environments managed by humans. Fifth, the book involves an examination of the human experience of trees, of the relationship between people and trees. Haberman is interested in people's sense of trees. And finally, the trees located in the neighborhood tree shrines of northern India are not controlled by a professional or elite class of priests. Common people have direct access to them and are free to worship them in their own way. They are part of the people's religion. Haberman hopes that this book will help readers expand their sense of the possible relationships that exist between humans and trees. By broadening our understanding of this relationship, he says, we may begin to think differently of the value of trees and the impact of deforestation and other human threats to trees.
