| Abstract: In this honest, bold and remarkably well-argued book, N.R.

Built of the lectures of Narayana Murthy delivered around the world, A Better India: A better World is a manifesto for the youth, the architects of the future, and a compelling argument for why a better India holds the key to a better world. |

| Abstract: This book is about Gods and rethinking conversion in India. In pluri-religious society of today, change of faith can precipitate religious antagonism or it can facilitate social diversity and tolerance.

Challenging the traditional orthodoxies which promote or oppose religious, conversations, he sees no religions merit in political posturing or conversions for socio-economic gain. |

| Title: India Abroad: Diasporic Cultures of Postwar America and England |
| Author: Sandhya Shukla |
| Edition Year: 2005 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Non - Fiction |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book provides a unique combination of rich ethnographic work and textual readings to illuminate the theoretical concerns central to the growing fields of diaspora studies and transnational cultural studies. Shukla argues that the multi-sidedness of diaspora compels a rethinking of time and space in anthropology, as well as in order disciplines. This book situates postcolonial Indian subjectivity within migrants transnational recasting of the meanings of race and ethnicity. Interweaving conceptual and materials understandings of diaspora, Indian Abroad finds that in constructed Indias, we can see the contradictions of identity and nation that are central to the globalised condition in which all peoples, displaced and otherwise, live. |

| Title: Indias Economic Policy: Preparing for the Twenty-First Century |
| Author: Bimal Jalan |
| Edition Year: 1997 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Non - Fiction |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about economic policy of India. Nearly fifty years after independence, India remains a very poor country. It ranks near the bottom in terms of per capita income and is similarly placed in the Human Development Index which measures social well-being. Economic growth in India has been less than half that of China or even other countries in Asia. And governments, at the centre as well as in the states, are close to insolvency. The reason for our spectacular underachievement lies in the continuation of policies which had certain validity as a response to the colonial experience, but which have long outlived their usefulness. |

| Subject: Non - Fiction |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about the successes and failures of internet. It is about the stealthy change that the Internet revolution is engendering in Indian cities, towns, even villages. Against a rich backdrop of tradition and technology, it tells the stories of ordinary people who are beginning to believe. The stories are as diverse as India itself, a Mumbai college dropout turned CEO who flourishes after the great tech crash, an illiterate farmer in the heart of Madhya Pradesh who uses the internet to activate the village hand pump, a village boy from Karnataka whose tech ideas attract multimillion dollar international finding. The internet is vastly more than web sites and dot.coms. These are equally stories about a technology that is disrupting our world, often without our knowledge. It switches with ease between narratives about ration cards and quantum computing. |

| Title: Saffron, White and Green: The Amazing Story of Indias Independence |
| Author: Subhadra Sen Gupta |
| Edition Year: 2008 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Non - Fiction |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is one of the most exciting stories in history, the glorious tale of how the powerless, unarmed people of India came together to defy the mightiest empire in the world. The British Empire had tightened its noose around a country split by religion, class and caste. But when the people rallied under the tri-coloured banner of freedom, it was with a power that stunned even the strongest. No one had seen such a revolution before. What was truly extraordinary was that India won her independence not through an armed uprising but by persistent, peaceful, non-violent protest. Ordinary men and women stood up against the might of the British Empire, valiantly facing police batons and guns. |

| Author: C.S. Lewis |
| Edition Year: 1954 |

| Subject: Non - Fiction |

| Abstract: It is not generally known that from Hell you can take a day excursion (by omnibus) to the very borders of Heaven. The author finds himself, in this book, accompanying one of these trips and learns to his astonishment that the damned are under no obligation to return to Hell. They could stay on in Heaven if they pleased. Why most of them prefer not to become plain as you read. The symbolism…suggests the impossibility that souls who have embraced illusion can enjoy the world of Reality. |
