Haadibadi Books

We, at Haadibadi, have always succeeded in bringing forth diverse narratives through Haadibadi Theatre and engaging with diverse communities through Haadibadi Community Library. Now, we have decided to take another step ahead and begin a new journey as we bring more narratives to life through Haadibad Books. We look towards the future to bring forth more narratives and writings that matter and which we feel need to be shared with the world.

Write in Power

We present you with our first book ‘Write in Power – An Anthology of Personal and Political’. As a first-time publisher, we could not have asked for a better collaboration with anyone else other than Hidden Pen Collective. We are grateful for these wonderful people who chose to work with us in making this possible.

In this compelling anthology of fictional and non-fictional prose, poems, and art, we present the writings of twenty-four writers and artists from an inclusive spectrum of human experience. These perspectives speak to the intersections of the personal and the political, creating a space for discussion and change. We find our power in our traditions, or by breaking those traditions. We look outwards for love and acceptance, or to our own selves because we are all we have. Our stories - rebellious, accommodating, loving, suffering, defeated and in victory - declare our essential power.

Reviews:

Shalini Mullick writes-

"The personal and the political are deeply and inseparably enmeshed with each other. In today’s times, it is increasingly important to understand these intersections, and where we stand in the face of them. It is this introspection that is the basis of a truly inclusive world. And this is the introspection that this anthology asks from the reader."
