India enters its seventy-fifth year of independence, conventional policy is unlikely to combat the breadth of its economic challenges. Across a range of areas human capital, technology, agriculture, finance, trade, public-service delivery and more new ideas must now be on the table. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only cost India many lives and livelihoods, it has also exposed major structural weaknesses in the economy. A huge farm and jobs crisis, rising and massive inequalities, tepid investment growth and chronic banking-sector challenges have plagued the economy for many years. The pandemic has exacerbated these challenges. It has also exposed the limitations of the Indian state, which tries to control too much and ends up stifling the economy and the inherent energies of its young population. Climate change is no longer a distant threat, while disruptive technology has huge implications for India''s demographic dividend. In addition, the dangerous lurch towards majoritarianism will cast its shadow on India''s pursuit of prosperity for all. Unshackling India examines the question: Can India use the next twenty-five years, when it will reach the hundredth year of independence, to not only restructure its economy but rejuvenate its democratic energy and unshackle its potential and become a genuinely developed economy by 2047? This book argues that India can foster a prosperous and inclusive economy if it sets its mind to it, acknowledges the hard truths and lays out the clear choices and new ideas India must adopt towards that end.

For twenty years, the Taliban was the number one enemy of Western forces in Afghanistan. But it was an enemy that they knew little about, and about whose founder and leader, Mullah Omar, they knew even less. Armed with only a fuzzy black-and-white photo of the man, investigative journalist Bette Dam decided to track down the reclusive Taliban chief a decade back. But in the course of what had seemed an almost impossible job, she got to know the Taliban inside out, realized how dangerously misinformed the global forces fighting it were, and made a startling discovery about the elusive Omar''s whereabouts.

It is the year 2034 AD. Imagine that the British Empire never fell. Communism never happened. Britain conquered all that stood in her way, destroying the rebellions of the Americas and the British Raj. Now the Angels Interitus orbit the earth, ready to wipe out entire cities at a moment''s notice with their tungsten bombs, and the dreadnoughts known as the Tin Soldiers march on all who would stand in Her Majesty''s path. In the middle of these grand and great political games, a little island called Ceylon floats peacefully in the waters of the Indian Ocean. Those who invaded it saw only the ruins of empire, and spent their lives planting tea and building holiday bungalows here. But Ceylon is far from peaceful. Many things have happened. And many things are about to change. "

More Adventures of Kakababu is the second book in the delightful Kakababu series. In Terror on the Mountaintop , Kakababu travels to the Everest base camp, ostensibly to climb the peak. But after finding a corpse, a hidden glacial crevice, and an enormous prehistoric tooth in rapid succession, Shontu begins to suspect that his uncle has, once again, not been honest about the true reason behind his visit. The Mystery of the Deserted Ship finds uncle and nephew afloat in the treacherous waters off the Sundarbans islands. Stubbornly secretive as always, Kakababu refuses to tell Shontu what brought him into the predator-infested mangrove jungle or to the deserted ship. Will Shontu survive his brush with the dangerous delta? And what secrets will he find there? Originally written by veteran Bengali writer Sunil Gangopadhyay, these Bengali classics have been translated by Rimi. "

A profound truth of the wild, and the world at large, is that we are a part of it, not owners of it. Is there any animal we love and hate as much as the Royal Bengal Tiger? Tigers are feared and poached, but they also endure, becoming pin-ups for candlelight marches. Indian elephants are trapped by railway lines and fences, but are reclaiming their bodies and colonizing new areas in central India. And in our dirty cities, the sparkling Plain Tiger Butterfly flourishes as one of our last links to wildlife. Wild animals exist beyond our control. They are harmless, only occasionally dangerous. They live with us, or in spite of us. Those who know them understand that wild animals require acceptance for what they are, not enslavement for what we want them to be. In this book, we meet fifteen iconic Indian species in need of conservation and heart. The author explores what these creatures need, and how they exert agency and decision-making.

ON A COLD, DAMP DAY IN JANUARY 1975, a young Parsi lawyer took the cheapest flight out of Mumbai to the city of his dreams London. With youthful enthusiasm, he was raring to take the English courts by storm. Little did he anticipate the challenges that lay ahead back in those days the City was largely unwelcoming of outsiders and run by a network of old boys clubs. Just getting a foot in the door seemed a big ask. Four decades later, sitting on a bench outside his country home overlooking the English Channel, the view is very different. In Honour Bound, Sarosh Zaiwalla looks back on his career from his passage to England at a time when diversity had barely begun to take root in its legal circles to now leading a ground-breaking law firm. In an eventful life, Zaiwalla has walked the corridors of power and rubbed shoulders with ministers, diplomats, industrialists and celebrities. His memoir is filled with drama and intrigue, from instructing a young barrister called Tony Blair to dealing with some of the biggest cases ever heard. While he still has many chapters ahead of him (a lawyer never retires after all), some of the cases that have concluded have created a storm in India and feature a diverse cast, including Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi, P.V. Narasimha Rao, V.P. Singh, the Hinduja brothers, the Dalai Lama, Benazir Bhutto and the Bachchans. This is the story of a solicitor who made his way on his own terms, with creativity but without ever compromising on his values. In this bold yet measured tale of trial and triumph, Zaiwalla tells all as much as lawyer client privilege permits, of course."
