Indians in the Ocean

Long before European ships dominated the Indian Ocean, traders and travellers from the Indian subcontinent were already navigating its vast waters. In search of profit, adventure, and knowledge, their journeys shaped how Indians evolved as a society, what they consumed in their material lives, and how and why they produced and circulated oceanic knowledge.

Indians in the Ocean explores the ocean’s role in shaping the economic and cultural histories of the subcontinent between the tenth and sixteenth centuries. Drawing on a rich array of historical sources in many languages, it reconstructs the experiences of people from the region who travelled, traded, and participated in the global economy at a time when the oceans formed the principal highways linking countries and communities across continents.

MicroStimuli

What could possibly connect the grim statistic of ten daily deaths on Mumbai’s railway tracks with a breezy, 30-second ad encouraging us to reach for a salad instead of fries, and to the research of Richard Thaler, the Nobel Prize-winning pioneer of behavioral economics? These questions form the beating heart of MicroStimuli, a book that offers a revolutionary perspective on behavioral change. This book brings together research across disciplines to present a unified concept of MicroStimuli, not merely in theory but with robust case studies.

SAVARKAR AND THE MAKING OF HINDUTVA (PBK)

A monumental intellectual history of the pivotal figure of Hindu nationalism .
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (1883–1966) was an intellectual, ideologue, and anticolonial nationalist leader in India’s struggle for independence from British colonial rule, one whose anti-Muslim writings exploited India’s tensions in pursuit of Hindu majority rule. Savarkar and the Making of Hindutva is the first comprehensive intellectual history of one of the most contentious political thinkers of the twentieth century.

Janaki Bakhle examines the full range of Savarkar’s voluminous writings in his native language of Marathi, from political and historical works to poetry, essays, and speeches. She reveals the complexities in the various positions he took as a champion of the beleaguered Hindu community, an anticaste progressive, an erudite if polemical historian, a pioneering advocate for women’s dignity, and a patriotic poet. This critical examination of Savarkar’s thought shows that Hindutva is as much about the aesthetic experiences that have been attached to the idea of India itself as it is a militant political program that has targeted the Muslim community in pursuit of power in postcolonial India.

By bringing to light the many legends surrounding Savarkar, Bakhle shows how this figure from a provincial locality in colonial India rose to world-historical importance. Savarkar and the Making of Hindutva also uncovers the vast hagiographic literature that has kept alive the myth of Savarkar as a uniquely brave, brilliant, and learned revolutionary leader of the Hindu nation.

The Inspired Leader

In a world that constantly urges us to search for answers from elusive role models, what if the insights we seek already reside within us? Each of us has been blessed with a life-giving force capable of huge potential – but how do we tap this to create positive impact and lead happier and more fulfilling lives?
Through seven thoughtfully crafted practices, The Inspired Leader offers a roadmap to accessing and experiencing this vital power, allowing ordinary people to achieve extraordinary impact.

Building India’s Upstarts

Unlike most entrepreneurship books that focus on venture-backed startups, this work examines the journey of creating sustainable, profitable companies through bootstrapping. What sets this book apart is its focus on “upstart” companies—traditional businesses that succeed through incremental innovations and operational excellence rather than disruptive technology. This represents a massive but often overlooked opportunity in India’s growth story. With India’s growing economy creating unprecedented opportunities for such businesses, this book fills a crucial gap in entrepreneurship literature focused on the Indian context.
