Chronicles of the Speaking Soil is a powerful collection of poems that confronts the silences surrounding women�s lives in India. With unflinching honesty and lyrical grace, the author bears witness to a reality where communal strife unsettles safety, where progress is measured in economics but not equality, and where women�s voices are too often muted by judgment or rivalry.
These poems do more than reflect�they resist. They refuse the normalization of oppression, reject the romanticizing of resilience, and call out the fractures that dim the collective strength of women. Each verse echoes the weight of objectification, the punishment of truth, and the inheritance of inequality across generations, while also insisting on unity, dignity, and transformation.
At once searing and tender, Chronicles of the Speaking Soil is both testimony and invocation. It honors the burdens women have carried, while envisioning a future where those burdens no longer bind. For every woman who has lived these realities and every girl who deserves a freer tomorrow, this book offers not only remembrance, but also unyielding hope.
