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.
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.
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.

The real founder journey is not glamorous—it is chaotic, lonely, unstructured and brutally hard. This book is the map you wish you had on Day 1.
India’s start-up ecosystem has transformed dramatically, yet behind every pitch deck lies the part no one talks about: self-doubt, pivots, hiring struggles, broken prototypes, regulatory shocks, and the emotional weight of building something out of nothing. Drawing from over 100 hours of conversations with India’s most exciting founders—and a decade of investing in more than 200 start-ups—Utsav Somani delivers an unfiltered, deeply practical and emotionally honest field guide for building in India.
Inside these pages, readers will learn:
• How iconic Indian founders actually validated their ideas—from Shiprocket discovering features inside a pickle factory, to Noise gathering raw insights from co-passengers, to Rentomojo emerging from a founder’s personal financial struggle, to Dr. Vaidya’s rising from literal ashes to rebuild a 150-year legacy.
• How cutting-edge companies navigated early chaos, including Ultrahuman, AppsForBharat, Blue Tokai, GoKwik, Hunch and others who built through first principles and grit.
• How to build for “infinite Indias”, and why founders like Pixxel, TBO Tek, InsuranceDekho and others think about India 1, India 2 and global markets simultaneously.
• How founders survived crises and pivots, including CoinDCX navigating the 2018 RBI crypto ban—a journey that began with a Twitter DM and became a billion-dollar outcome.
• How to hire, scale and build resilient teams, even with limited resources.
• How to avoid the mental traps of entrepreneurship and stay grounded when the journey gets overwhelming.
• How to build companies that last, not just companies that start.
Packed with raw stories, field-tested strategies and emotional truths founders rarely share publicly,
The Founder Manualis the brutally honest operating guide every Indian founder wished existed when they started.
