Missions, Mantras, Migrants and Microchips
The fame of people like Priyanka Chopra, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Kumail Nanjiani, Indra Nooyi, Mindy Kaling, M. Night Shyamalan, Tata Consultancy Services’ (TCS) sponsorship of the New York City Marathon, the ubiquitousness of Indian restaurants and yoga studios in many American cities and much else illustrates the close relationship the US and India enjoy today.
From the 1780s onwards, there have been relationships of various kinds, all mediated, until India’s independence, through the British Raj. While ties in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were somewhat thin, the closer relationship through three-quarters of the twentieth century, has now become an extremely close one as India has sent large rivers of people and goods to America, and Americans have responded with growing interest and involvement in India. This, despite occasional blips like the Bhopal industrial disaster.
Missions, Mantras, Migrants and Microchips takes the long view of the Indo-US encounter. Besides documenting well-known ties, it also brings into focus some ignored and forgotten people like Kumar Goshal, Ida Scudder, Charles Page Perin, John Bissell and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Deeply researched and engagingly written by veteran historian Leonard A. Gordon, this work is the definitive account of the Indo-US connection.

The Inner Light: A Beginner’s Guide to Spirituality and Finding Peace
The growing uncertainty of the economic climate and ever-increasing anxieties about our health and wellness have made it more urgent than ever before to seek a life of stillness, balance, and perspective. As we adjust to a new reality, our inner world is cracked open to reveal the state of our spiritual health. We are now left questioning the fragility of our egos that crumble in the face of a threat to our assumed identities of work and relationships.
The market for spirituality is an endless warren of complex pathways, with each path offering a differently worded routine to reach the same destination. Seekers are enticed with milestones to cross in the form of courses and levels often under the tutelage of a guru. This book shares wisdom on how to wade through the labyrinth of pathways that make up the journey to a more conscious spiritual lifestyle.
Rich with anecdotes from the author’s own experiences and fellow seekers, The Inner Light is a handy guide to prepare readers—aspirants and sceptics alike—for what to expect when they set out to integrate spirituality into everyday life. This book is for beginners looking to dip their toes, and then some, into the waters of spirituality without getting caught in the whirlpool of spiritual consumerism. It answers these important questions:
What is spirituality? Where do I even start?
How can I walk this path with awareness?
How can I improve my understanding of life?
The Delhi Model (Hindi)/दिल्ली मॉडल
दिल्ली मॉडल ने स्वतंत्र भारत में पहली बार सार्वजनिक शिक्षा और स्वास्थ्य सेवा में बदलाव के मुद्दे को हाशिये से निकालकर भारतीय राजनीति के केंद्र में ला दिया। यह मानव पूँजी विकास में निवेश और सभी नागरिकों के लिए बेहतर सेवा वितरण को प्राथमिकता देता है, जबकि सबसे कमज़ोर लोगों के लिए एक सामाजिक सुरक्षा जाल सुनिश्चित करता है। यह पुस्तक दिल्ली मॉडल के वास्तविक स्वरूप के बारे में पहली ऐसी पुस्तक है, जिसमें इसके आर्थिक आधार और भारत में अन्य शासन मॉडलों, विशेष रूप से गुजरात मॉडल के साथ इसकी तुलना के बारे में विस्तार से बताया गया है। जस्मीन शाह ने इस प्रामाणिक और शोध-समर्थित पुस्तक में दिल्ली में आम आदमी पार्टी सरकार द्वारा छह प्रमुख क्षेत्रों—शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, वायु प्रदूषण, परिवहन, बिजली और पानी में किए गए सुधारों और उनके परिणामों का खुलासा किया है। पिछले दशक में निर्धारित नीतियों और सुधारों का विश्लेषण करते हुए, जैस्मीन ने दिल्ली मॉडल के सिद्धांतों का लाभ उठाकर एक विकसित भारत के निर्माण के लिए एक महत्त्वाकांक्षी रोड मैप तैयार किया है।
Aasaan/आसान
बाज़ारवादी युग में दरकते इंसानी रिश्तों पर लिखी आलोक श्रीवास्तव की ग़ज़लें उनके निजी अनुभवों का आईना हैं। आसान की कई रचनाओं में सामाजिक सरोकार के सबूत मिलते हैं। यह पुस्तक पन्नों के कैनवास पर शब्दों के रंग बिखेरने का एहसास कराती है, जिसमें पाठक काव्य की हर विधा में निपुणता के साथ किसी सूफ़ियाना ख़्याल को सिर्फ एक दोहे में समेट देने के हुनर से रू-ब-रू होते हैं। पुस्तक की रचनाएँ पाठकों के मनोभाव में ऐसे प्रवेश करती हैं, जैसे वह उनकी ही भावनाएँ हों। विद्वान रावण द्वारा विरचित ‘शिव तांडव स्त्रोत’ और गोस्वामी तुलसीदास के लिखे ‘रुद्राष्टक’ का हिंदी भावानुवाद भी आसान में समाहित है।
