When Inspector General Vijay Menon reopens the old file of a police officer’s murder, he expects dead ends and faded trails. But as chance conspires with his investigative instincts, the case begins to crack open, leading him not only to the culprits but to truths far more unsettling. What begins as the pursuit of justice quickly transforms into a personal reckoning for Vijay as the crime he thought he was solving turns into his own trial, dismantling the fictions of who he thinks he is and what he stands for.
A deftly layered excavation of caste, colourism and individual complicity in institutional violence, The Menon Investigation subverts the rules of the police procedural through its cast of unusual perpetrators and imperfect victims. With sparkling dry humour and a paradox-ridden protagonist at its centre, this is a masterful portrait of a tragedy profoundly Indian.
Inequality is still one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century. Income inequalities, for instance, create access inequalities, which lead to social disharmony. However, reducing income inequalities takes generations. Can we create access equality despite income inequality?

The history of Left politics in India runs deep into the very heart of the freedom struggle. It can hardly be denied that both the freedom struggle and the political landscape of free India was, for the longest time, hued in various shades of red. Peculiarly, Leftism in India has developed in close ties with the culture in which it was rooted. A movement consisting of diverse forces—-with moderate socialists at one end of the spectrum and extremist or revolutionary communists at the other—-The Indian Left has had a complex and evolving role in Indian politics. While historically it has played a pertinent role, primarily in states such as West Bengal and Kerala, its influence and relevance, both have waned in recent years. It has been struggling to adapt itself to dynamic electoral politics and, therefore, finding it hard to regain its lost ground.
This book is about an ideology that is under threat or, as many say, almost extinct, at least in India. It tries to sketch a rich historical narrative that foregrounds left politics in world history, locate its relevance in India and chart a future of its revival.
