Murarirao Ghorpade
So many of our country’s heroes from the past remain unsung. Murarirao Ghorpade is one such. He was a valiant warrior, an articulate statesman and a descendant of the Maratha clan, committed to Hindavi Swaraj.
Murarirao independently built a strong and highly efficient military force. He established his reputation on being able to break the dreaded war tactic employed by the French Army—the French Hollow Square. His support was sought by the Peshwas, neighbouring kingdoms, the French and the British. In fact, it so happened that he came to save Robert Clive from a crushing defeat at the hands of the French at Arcot. This war was a turning point in India’s history. That he has been denied attention could well be because much of documented Maratha history faces north. Murarirao’s story faces south. And it was his actions on behalf of the Marathas that drew the ire of his nemesis, Haider Ali Khan.
This is an exciting tale of military conquests, espionage, forbidden love and loyalty in eighteenth-century Deccan, and a record of how, in an era marred by treachery and expediency, Murarirao Ghorpade survived seventy-plus years by instinct, bravery, statesmanship, valour and loyalty.

The Book of Killings
Arjuna versus Karna
Duryodhan versus Bheem
Shikandin versus Bheeshma
Dhritarashtra versus himself
The war between the two sets of cousins is ready to blow up. Krishna has just finished singing the Gita to Arjuna. The war is about to start….and this is a war like no other with boons, curses, tricks, strategies and games deployed to maximise each side’s chances of victory.
The Book of Killings is the eagerly awaited third instalment of the Mahabharata trilogy, which began explosively with The Book of Vows and was then followed by The Book of Discoveries. Imagined afresh and composed in a style that captures the power, charm and ambiguity of Vyasa’s Mahabharata, this book dramatizes the 18-day epic war and its aftermath in the Mahabharata.
Grounding his telling in the original Sanskrit version, Majmudar has recreated the ancient epic for a contemporary audience. His finest work yet, this is one of the most accessible, magical and unputdownable retellings of the Mahabharata.
Happiness Happens
Robin Singh had everything he wanted and more—well-settled in the US, financial freedom, married to the love of his life—except he was not happy. It was in his pursuit of happiness that he stumbled across purpose. It eventually took giving up on happiness and pursuing purpose before he realised that he had finally found what he had been looking for.
This is a book about what happened between him exiting his tech company and starting Peepal Farm—an animal rescue centre. It is a compilation of all the answers he got along the way and the questions he asked to get those answers. He still can’t tell you what is life or why is life . . . but he can answer why to live and how to live.
Happiness Happens is ultimately an exploration of what really makes us happy. It is Robin’s journey told simply, with the hope that it will reach people who are dissatisfied with how they have been living but haven’t yet been able to answer how else to live.
