How does India live through the oddity of being both a nation and multilingual? Is multilingualism in India to be understood as a neatly laid set of discrete languages or a criss-crossing of languages that runs through every source language and text? The questions take us to reviewing what is meant by language, multilingualism and translation. Challenging these institutions,
A Multilingual Nation illustrates how the received notions of translation discipline do not apply to India. It provocatively argues that translation is not a ‘solution’ to the allegedly chaotic situation of many languages, rather it is its inherent and inalienable part.
An unusual and unorthodox collection of essays by leading thinkers and writers, new and young researchers, it establishes the all-pervasive nature of translation in every sphere in India and reverses the assumptions of the steady nature of language, its definition and the peculiar fragility that is revealed in the process of translation.

In today’s VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world, leaders face more challenges than ever before. The old model of ‘Command and Control’ no longer resonates with the new generation of employees. The old archetype of the workaholic CEO is not tenable in a new-age world that celebrates
well-being as much as wealth. Leaders cannot rely only on their IQ and EQ. They also need to enhance their NQ (Nurturing Quotient). Nurturing Leadership, measured through NQ, is the ability to nurture both self and others to create impact at scale. If leaders cannot be nurturers, they risk an early burnout, personal irrelevance, as well as disengaged teams and stagnant organizations.
Drawing from their extensive experience and over 115 in-depth interviews with CEOs across sectors, from start-ups to multinational corporations, the authors—Rajesh Ramakrishnan and Nirupama Subramanian—make a compelling case for Nurturing Leadership. The Nurturing Quotient is packed with actionable insights that translate into everyday leadership habits. This playbook offers tools and techniques to nurture oneself along the four key dimensions—mind, body, heart and soul—and to nurture others through the MILE behaviours: mentoring and coaching, inspiring, listening, and empowering.

This is a parallel history of resistance to Indira Gandhi’s dictatorial rule between 1975 and 1977, when an internal emergency was proclaimed in India. The events here unfold entirely in the United States of America surrounded by the echoes of emergency action in India. The book has an intimate historiographic style and is narrated through the lives, actions and world views of chosen protagonists, who with perseverance and principle constructed a classic Gandhian movement.
The book not only tracks political developments, ideological debates and sociocultural contexts of the time but also records how American pacifists, Quakers, civil rights activists, academics, authors, senators and Congressmen came together in solidarity to form a network of conscience to save India’s democracy. Amid this, a quiet thread in the book is the story of the Indian diaspora in the US that had just about begun staring at a horizon of influence.
It is widely believed that one of the factors that pushed Indira Gandhi to end the Emergency in 1977 and call for a general election was international pressure. Being Jawaharlal Nehru’s daughter, it is said that she was sensitive to how she was being perceived overseas, and after a point, thought it was counterproductive to play dictator. However, this book does not get into such conjectures or presumptions but endeavours to paint a true and complex picture of the time.
The narrative here is fused with a diligent study of personal papers and archival material in India and overseas that had neither been accessed or assessed till now. This is yet another offering from an author whose books have been applauded for their uncommon insights, intellectual bandwidth and a fine literary style.
