Grey cityscapes blur into lush greens, and urban solitude turns into silent screams as their lives rotate between their physical homes and those of their dreams.
Straining to break free from the burden of childhood and shifting homelands, can they withstand the awareness that change often brings? Or will they seek refuge in their old selves—Mridula, in accustomed abuse; Maya, in denial; Kranti, in Maya?
Can the displaced find permanence in transiting homes?
What does it mean to belong?

India: 5,000 Years of History on the Subcontinent
A dazzling new history of the Indian subcontinent and its diverse peoples in global context—from antiquity to today
Much of world history is Indian history. Home today to one in four people, the subcontinent has long been densely populated and deeply connected to Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas through migration and trade. In this magisterial history, Audrey Truschke tells the fascinating story of the region historically known as India—which includes today’s India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and parts of Afghanistan—and the people who have lived there.
A sweeping account of five millennia, from the dawn of the Indus Valley Civilization to the twenty-first century, this engaging and richly textured narrative chronicles the most important political, social, religious, intellectual, and cultural events. And throughout, it describes how the region has been continuously reshaped by its astonishing diversity, religious and political innovations, and social stratification.
Here, readers will learn about Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and Sikhism; the Vedas and Mahabharata; Ashoka and the Mauryan Empire; the Silk Road; the Cholas; Indo-Persian rule; the Mughal Empire; European colonialism; national independence movements; the 1947 Partition of India; the recent rise of Hindu nationalism; the challenges of climate change; and much more. Emphasizing the diversity of human experiences on the subcontinent, the book presents a wide range of voices, including those of women, religious minorities, lower classes, and other marginalized groups.
You cannot understand India today without appreciating its deeply contested history, which continues to drive current events and controversies. A comprehensive and innovative book, India is essential reading for anyone who is interested in the past, present, or future of the subcontinent.

The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson
One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, a pharmaceutical reporter for the New York Times, was early for a flight and sat down at an airport bar. He struck up a conversation with the woman on the barstool next to him who happened to be a drug sales rep for Johnson & Johnson. Her horrific story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they’d had on her family fundamentally changed the nature of how Harris would cover the company—and the entire pharmaceutical industry—for the Times. His subsequent investigations and ongoing research since that very first conversation led to this book—a blistering exposé of a trusted American institution and the largest healthcare conglomerate in the world.
Harris takes us light years away from J & J’s image as the child-friendly ‘baby company’, uncovering reams of evidence showing decades of dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions. He explores multiple disasters: cover-ups regarding the linkage between Johnson’s Baby Powder to cancer, the surprising dangers of Tylenol, a campaign to sell antipsychotics that are alleged to have cost countless lives, a popular drug used to support cancer patients that studies have shown to actually increase the risk of cancerous tumours and questionable marketing that accelerated opioid addictions through a product that rivals even those of the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma.
Filled with shocking and infuriating but utterly necessary revelations, The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson is a landmark work of investigative journalism that lays bare the deep-rooted corruption behind the image of babies bathing with a smile.

A Multilingual Nation
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.
