The Forgotten Indian Prisoners of World War II
Against the tumultuous backdrop of Singapore in 1942 unfolds the extraordinary saga of Captain Mohan Singh of the 14 Punjab Regiment and the Indian National Army (INA). As the pioneering leader of the INA, Singh’s bold alliance with Japan sought to liberate India from the yoke of British rule but soon encountered treacherous challenges.
In chronicling how INA soldiers fought bravely when they got a chance, as well as the harrowing trials of them enduring starvation and sickness in Burma, this tale unveils a lesser-known chapter of history. The author masterfully follows the INA’s journey through the jungles of Burma to the postwar days in India when it hastened Independence, highlighting Subhas Chandra Bose’s pivotal rise to leadership along the way.
This is also the story of Lieutenant M.M. Pillai’s daring escape from Singapore. Of the grim fate of prisoners of war (POWs) like Warrant Officer John Baptist Crasta, one of 17,000 Indian POWs sent to hard labour camps in the Pacific. Of the war crime trials held by the Australians for Japanese atrocities against these POWs where Subedar Chint Singh was a key witness. Of the wives waiting for years with little news of their soldier-husbands.
Gautam Hazarika’s The Forgotten Indian Prisoners of World War II, enriched by personal accounts and the hard truth, is a testament to loyalty, resilience and the indomitable human spirit

Then, the younger son Aseem—wayward, with a history of half-baked plans and ongoing financial demands—takes matters into his own hands.

Assembling India’s Constitution
In this paradigm-shifting history, two leading historians of India re-examine the making of the Indian constitution from the perspective of the country’s people. In a departure from dominant approaches that foreground the framing of the text within the Constituent Assembly, Ornit Shani and Rohit De instead demonstrate how it was shaped by diverse publics across India and beyond. They reveal multiple, parallel constitution-making processes underway across the subcontinent, highlighting how individuals and groups transformed constitutionalism into a medium of struggle and a tool for transformation. De and Shani argue that the deep sense of ownership the public assumed over the constitution became pivotal to the formation, legitimacy and endurance of India’s democracy against arduous challenges and many odds. In highlighting the Indian case as a model for thinking through constitution making in plural societies, this is a vital contribution to constitutional and democratic history.
Being Modern
Ananda Ram Dhekial Phookan (1829–59), the subject of this first modern Assamese biography, was the most significant figure in early colonial Assam. Born into a family affected by the region’s political upheavals, including the First Anglo–Burmese War (1824–26), Ananda Ram embodied the various social and cultural transformations of the early nineteenth century.
Despite his short life, Ananda Ram left an indelible mark on Assamese society and scholarship. His crusade to establish Assamese as Assam’s rightful court and official language—displacing Bengali from its entrenched position—would prove pivotal to the making of modern Assamese identity. His diverse scholarship ranged from books for young readers to more serious and intellectually rigorous works on colonial law and language, among other subjects.
Gunabhiram Barua, the author of this book, intertwines Ananda Ram’s life story with a broader historical account of Assam’s transition into colonial modernity. History unfolds alongside biography in this book elegantly translated by Banani Chakravarty for the Chronicles series—making it a window into nineteenth-century Assam as well as a portrait of a remarkable life.

The Monk in the Corner Office
Burnout is not the cost of ambition. It’s the cost of flawed leadership design. Today’s executives are praised for endurance. For intensity. For pushing through. But behind the performance metrics is a quieter truth:
Exhausted leaders make reactive decisions. Burned-out teams stop innovating. Relentless pace erodes judgment.
And eventually, something breaks.
In The Monk in the Corner Office, former IDEO managing director and Zen practitioner Gopi Krishnaswamy challenges the myth that high performance requires personal sacrifice. Drawing on decades of executive leadership and disciplined inner training, he presents a new standard for modern leadership:
Sustained excellence without depletion. This is not a wellness book. It is a strategic performance manual for serious leaders.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Build clarity under pressure
- Protect cognitive and emotional energy at the top
- Design organizations that don’t manufacture burnout
- Lead with calm authority in volatile environments
- Replace heroic effort with intelligent performance systems
Because in today’s environment, intensity is easy.
Sustainability is rare.
The leaders who will define this decade are not the ones who endure the most strain. They are the ones who master themselves—and build systems that make high performance sustainable. If you carry serious responsibility—for a company, a division or a team—this book offers a competitive advantage most leaders overlook.
Calm is power.
Clarity is leverage.
Sustainable performance is the future!
