But that tomorrow never comes, and at just fourteen, Aru is left a widow.

The future Aru once envisioned vanishes, leaving only bleak and endless days ahead. So when a ray of hope appears in the form of the landlord’s children offering her a job as their grandmother’s companion, Aru seizes the opportunity.
In the landlord’s house, Aru gains an education, finds that her charge is an unexpected ally, and dreams impossibly of having a profession of her own one day. But she also learns uncomfortable truths. Soon, her very life is in danger . . .
The White Lotus is a gripping murder mystery and a rich social portrait of the plight of widows in rural Tamil Nadu at the very start of the twentieth century.
Meri Kahani/मेरी कहानी
मेरी कहानी कमला दास की विश्वप्रसिद्ध आत्मकथा है। इस पुस्तक की लोकप्रियता का अंदाजा इसी बात से लगाया जा सकता है कि इसका पंद्रह विदेशी भाषाओं में अनुवाद हुआ। इसमें कमला दास ने उन बातों को भी लिखा है, जिसके कारण उनकी छवि पर असर पड़ा, लेकिन वे बातें उनके जीवन की कड़वी सच्चाई थी। एक साधारण गृहस्थ महिला जब अपनी भावनाओं को अपनी पूरी ताकत और साहस के साथ कागज़ पर उतारती है, तो साहित्य की दुनिया में तहलका मच जाता है। कमला दास के साथ ऐसा ही हुआ था।
The Penguin Book of Poems on the Indian City
From Ghalib’s Delhi and Nissim Ezekiel’s Bombay to Agha Shahid Ali’s Srinagar and Kamala Das’s Calcutta, from Sarojini Naidu’s Hyderabad to Arundhathi Subramaniam’s Madras to Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih’s Shillong; The Penguin Book of Poems on the Indian City takes you on a spectacular poetic journey across thirty-seven cities in India.
This anthology contains 375 poems, those written in English and those translated from nearly twenty languages. From the classical voices of Valmiki and the Sangam poets to the Bhakti and Sufi strains of Surdas, Kabir and Amir Khusrau, and the early modern figures like Mir Taqi Mir, Narmad, Rudyard Kipling and Rabindranath Tagore, this collection offers an immersive lyrical exploration of India’s urban landscape.
Contemporary poets such as Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, Vikram Seth, Eunice de Souza, Arun Kolatkar, Amrita Pritam, Amit Chaudhuri and Gulzar carry this tradition into the present. Together, they take the reader through depictions of cities as imperial capitals, colonial outposts and dynamic, ever-evolving spaces that serve as the backdrop for postmodern life. At its core, this collection portrays the Indian city as a complex organism and living embodiment of the collective consciences of its many, many residents. A collection for not just those who live in the cities featured in this book but for anyone who is familiar with the chaotic, paradoxical and magical tableau that constitutes life in a city in this part of the world.
The Co-Intelligence Revolution
We stand at the dawn of a new industrial revolution—not one defined by automation and substitution of human intelligence but by co-intelligence, where human ingenuity and artificial intelligence (AI) (as a different kind of intelligence) collaborate in ways never imagined. The Co-Intelligence Revolution is a visionary road map for this emerging era, which will redefine human experiences, innovations, and economic and social systems—reshaping not just how we work but also how we live.
With over a hundred compelling real-world examples from over twenty-five ecosystems— from L’Oréal’s inclusive beauty platforms, through Siemens’s industrial metaverse, to India’s Digital Public Infrastructures (DPIs) expanding access to finance, citizen-services, and education—the book illustrates co-intelligent enterprises across private, public and plural sectors unlocking new frontiers of value.
The Co-Intelligence Revolution is a call to action to co-create a world where intelligence emerges from the interactive, ever-evolving relationships between humans, AI and ecosystems.
Indira Gandhi and the Years That Transformed India
Indira Gandhi’s ascent as prime minister of India in 1966 was entirely unforeseen. But she soon emerged as one of the most powerful political leaders of her times, who transformed the world’s largest democracy. She served as prime minister for a remarkable fifteen years, leaving behind a complex and deeply controversial legacy.
In this fascinating account, Srinath Raghavan tells the story of Indira Gandhi’s political career and the momentous changes that India experienced under her leadership. From her tentative start in high office to her remarkable electoral victories, the dark days of the Emergency of 1975–77, and her assassination at the hands of her bodyguards in 1984, Raghavan sheds new light on her politics and government, as well as on her adversaries and critics. He shows how the 1970s were the hinge on which the history of the country turned—and how Indira Gandhi transformed the new postcolonial nation into the India of today.

“An outstanding literary biography” AMITAV GHOSH
“Mukul writes beautifully, and brings to life a man who has often been misunderstood” BENJAMIN MOSER
“This book is a remarkable contribution to the world of Indian letters: ANNIE ZAIDI
Sachchidanand Hirananda Vatsyayan ‘Agyeya’ is unarguably one of the most remarkable figures of Indian literature. From his revolutionary youth to acquiring the mantle of a (highly controversial) patron saint of Hindi literature, Agyeya’s turbulent life also tells a history of the Hindi literary world and of a new nation-spanning as it does two world wars, Independence and Partition, and the building and fraying of the Nehruvian state.
Akshaya Mukul’s comprehensive and unflinching biography is a journey into Agyeya’s public, private and secret lives. Based on never-seen-before archival material-including a mammoth trove of private papers, documents of the CIA-funded Congress for Cultural Freedom and colonial records of his years in jail-the book delves deep into the life of the nonconformist poet-novelist. Mukul reveals Agyeya’s revolutionary life and bomb-making skills, his CIA connection, a secret lover, his intense relationship with a first cousin, the trajectory of his political positions, from following M.N. Roy to exploring issues dear to the Hindu right, and much more. Along the way, we get a rare peek into the factionalism and pettiness of the Hindi literary world of the twentieth century, and the wondrous and grand debates which characterized that milieu.
Writer, Rebel, Soldier, Lover features a formidable cast of characters: from writers like Premchand, Phanishwarnath Renu, Raja Rao, Mulk Raj Anand and Josephine Miles to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, revolutionary Chandra Shekhar Azad and actor Balraj Sahni. And its landscapes stretch from British jails, an intellectually robust Allahabad and modern-day Delhi to monasteries in Europe, the homes of Agyeya’s friends in the Himalayas and universities in
the US. This book is a magnificent examination of Agyeya’s civilizational enterprise.
Ambitious and scholarly, Writer, Rebel, Soldier, Lover is also an unputdownable, whirlwind of a read.
