After Nations

The system of nation-states is in convulsion. As American hegemony unwinds, anxious Western countries slide into xenophobia and debt. Liberal ideas and institutions are losing their prestige; autocracies like China, Russia, and the UAE, by contrast, are rising. For those most completely abandoned by nation-states, meanwhile, there is no future except through life-threatening migration. All in all, the global political order offers human beings ever fewer securities—and ever more threats.

Rana Dasgupta traces the formation and rise of this system in order to explain the cause of its multiple failures today. He takes us from the fall of ancient empires and the expansion of European concepts of money and law, right up to the emergence of twenty-first-century tech firms—which present formidable competition to nation-states—and the epochal restoration of Chinese power. He posits that the time has come to develop a new conception of citizenship, law, and economy—one that corresponds to our own globalized and ecologically fragile condition.

An urgent work of astute political and historical analysis, After Nations is an essential text for anyone looking to understand why we seem to be losing our political hold on the world, and how we might try to restore it.

Our education system teaches us engineering, law, medicine, and management — skills that help us earn. But it often overlooks life skills that help us live meaningfully every day.

Nutrition: Decode what to eat, when to eat, and how to eat.

LeanSpark

LeanSpark is a modern, evolved framework for innovation that is rooted in frugality, adaptability, and purposeful ingenuity. While it carries forward the spirit of jugaad, the Indian ethos of improvisational problem-solving, LeanSpark moves beyond makeshift fixes to stand for solutions that are lean, scalable, and sustainable.

Resourceful problem-solving should not compromise on functionality, ethics, or long-term impact. Moreover, it should thrive not despite limitations, but because of them. This mindset is not unique to India or the developing world. In an age of climate crises, resource inequalities, digital disruption, and geopolitical conflict, LeanSpark is a universal language of resilient ingenuity.

Building on the authors’ expertise in frugal and ingenious innovation from Jugaad Innovation and Leapfrog, this book offers a fresh, globally relevant perspective. Through compelling narratives and actionable insights, LeanSpark demonstrates how India’s frugal innovation model can inspire organizations worldwide to innovate faster, reduce costs, and enhance customer value—without exhausting the planet’s resources. This is not just about surviving scarcity; it’s about turning limitations into strategic advantages.

Appetite

A vivid collection of voices from Goa, Appetite: New Writing from Goa explores the tangled web of human desire in its various manifestations and the deeply rooted traditions that define (a form of) Goan identity today.

From stories of late-night feasts gone awry in bustling family living rooms, to poems that trace lustful longing and essays that reflect on diaspora and in-migration, each piece captures what it feels like to truly yearn. The anthology moves effortlessly between the intimate and the expansive, from the salty tang of the sea and the delicate twang of a rebec to the inner landscapes of complex characters wrestling with love, loss, sexuality and identity.

Rooted in the state’s history yet alive to its present, Appetite is a heartfelt tribute to Goa itself—its salt-washed shores, spice-laden air, delectable cuisine and the unquenchable appetite that pulses at the heart of the land and its people. The Goa Writers invite readers to savour not only the stories told, but the world that makes them possible.

संपूर्ण स्वास्थ्य का अर्थ केवल शरीर को स्वस्थ रखना ही नहीं है। यह एक गहरा अनुभव है जिसमें मानसिक संतुलन और आध्यात्मिक चेतना भी शामिल होती है।
अच्छा स्वास्थ्य, चुस्त-दुरुस्त शरीर, प्रसन्नचित मन और शुद्ध भावना के लिए, नियमित व्यायाम, अच्छा भोजन, पर्याप्त नींद, और तनाव प्रबंधन महत्त्वपूर्ण हैं। इसके साथ ही, सकारात्मक सोच, सामाजिक संबंध, और प्रकृति के साथ समय बिताना भी आपके समग्र कल्याण में योगदान करते हैं।
नेशनल बेस्टसेलर—हील योर गट, माइंड एंड इमोशन की लेखिका डिंपल इस पुस्तक में स्वास्थ्य सेवा में नवीन दृष्टिकोणों की बढ़ती आवश्यकता पर ज़ोर देती हैं, ख़ासकर ऐसे युग में जब प्रौद्योगिकी उद्योग को नया रूप दे रही है। लेकिन वे प्राचीन ऋषियों के सूत्रों के बिना नए दृष्टिकोणों को अधूरा मानती हैं।
यही कारण है कि इस किताब में आयुर्वेदिक अवधारणाओं जैसे पंचमहाभूत (पाँच तत्व), तीन दोष (जैविक निर्माण खंड), अग्नि (पाचन अग्नि), षडरस (छह स्वाद), धातु (हमारे शरीर के ऊतक), स्रोत (चैनल), अपनी प्रकृति कैसे खोजें (अद्वितीय जैविक खाका), विरुद्ध आहार (भोजन संयोजन का विज्ञान), पंचकर्म (शरीर को विषमुक्त करने के पाँच तरीके), दिनचर्या (दैनिक विषमुक्ति अनुष्ठान), ऋतुचर्या (मौसमी अनुष्ठान) को भी शामिल किया गया है। यह सिर्फ़ एक किताब नहीं है; यह लेखिका के वर्षों के अनुभव का परिणाम है।
