Jivan Singh, bastard son, returns to Delhi after fifteen years of exile to find a city on fire with protests and in the grip of drought.

We That Are Young is Shakespeare’s King Lear told as a devastating commentary on contemporary India. From Delhi mansions to luxury hotels, from city slums to the streets of Kashmir, from palace to wayside, Preti Taneja recasts an old tale in fresh, eviscerating prose that bursts with energy and fierce, beautifully measured rage. This is the story of a country that, like the old king, is descending into madness.
In this commemorative volume, India’s top economic luminaries and business leaders come together to provide a balanced picture of the economic reform process initiated in 1991 and its consequences.

Covering the impact of the reforms on the evolution of India businesses, India’s foreign and security policy, the changing face of Indian governance and sectoral and human developments, among other themes, India Transformed delves deep into the life of liberalized India through the eyes of the people who helped transform it.
From break-ups to make-ups, from friendship to affection, from infatuation to love, these five beautifully crafted love stories explore a range of complex human behaviours and emotions. Written by bestselling author Sudeep Nagarkar, they will not only warm your heart but also make you believe in love like never before.
Why was the appreciation of gardens considered a symbol of Victorian aristocracy? Why do the Japanese find it easy to power-nap in public spaces? Why did Charles Baudelaire ascribe Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s restless nocturnal wanderings to a pathological dread of returning home? Why is a tense Gurgaon CEO hitting anxiety-laden golf balls into the night? Why was an obscure ninth-century Arab scholar’s library confiscated? And what do any of these mean for the average person immersed in the ‘daily decathlon’ of life?
Employing a philosopher’s mind and an artist’s eye, Banerjee takes us to still places in a moving world, the place where two rivers (do ab) meet and forests write themselves into history.
What makes a dutiful daughter, wife, and mother? What makes a good Indian woman?
Devi returns to Madras with an American degree, only to be sucked in by the old order of things-a demanding mother’s love, a suitable but hollow marriage, an unsuitable lover who offers a brief escape. But the women of the hoary past come back to claim Devi through myth and story, music and memory. They show her what it is to stay and endure what it is to break free and move on. Sita has been the ideal daughter-in-law, wife and mother. But now that she has arranged a marriage for her daughter she has to come to terms with an old dream of her own. Mayamma knows how to survive as the old family retainer, bending the way the wind blows. But, through Devi, she too can see a different life.
A subtle and tender tale of women’s lives in India, this award-winning novel is structured with the delicacy and precision of a piece of music. Fusing myth, tale and the real voices of different women, The Thousand Faces of Night brings alive the underworld of Indian women’s lives.
