Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FINALIST, PAGE TURNER AWARDS 2020 ***** "Funny and fast-paced crime caper..." ***** "India's answer to Alexander McCall Smith's Mma Ramotswe" ***** "Couldn't put it down" ***** “The future of light crime fiction is Inspector Chatpati” Inspector Hari Chatpati is under pressure. It’s been barely four months since Chatpati helped foil a terrorist attack on the State Parliament. And now his dubious reward is to lead Bangalore’s very first Civil Nuisance Unit, a semi-autonomous police division tasked with tackling minor crime. The CNU is barely operational before it’s inundated with work. There’s a flasher in the park, accosting lone women commuters. Someone has urinated in the fountain at the Planetarium. A criminal syndicate of beggars occupies the pavements. And some vagrant has dumped a load of rubbish outside the house of a prominent politician. As if things weren’t bad enough, Chatpati’s nemesis, the vindictive Assistant Commissioner of Police, orders Chatpati to look into a case deemed too trivial for any other police division: an Austrian traveller hospitalised with food poisoning. What’s so unusual about a tourist suffering from dysentery, anyway? In India, where the potholes can kill you before the samosas can. Chatpati suspects the ACP is out to humiliate him, but the Inspector has no choice but to investigate. It’s not long before the CNU’s investigation sparks widespread rioting and disorder. Bangalore is riven, its markets in flames. The media starts braying for blood, preferably Chatpati’s. Hamstrung and humiliated, the Inspector’s future, and that of his untested team, is at stake. Will they triumph against the unseen forces arrayed against them? The Tender Coconut Tamasha is a fast-paced, often funny mystery for the 21st Century, set in a teeming Indian metropolis where tradition rubs up against modernity at every turn. The book is inspired by Alexander McCall Smith’s Number One Ladies’ Detective Agency and Vaseem Khan’s Inspector Chopra. If you’re looking for a cosy mystery with teeth (but without bite marks) or searching for a break from the conflicted detective chasing a twisted serial killer, this might be the book for you. Trigger warning: contains infrequent, mild profanity and non-explicit depictions of one consensual sexual act between adults (six lines, really, with the only anatomical term being “buttocks”).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sub-Inspector Vasanth Nair is in deep. Up to his neck. Nair should have listened to his parents. He should have stayed at home instead of joining the Kerala Police. It’s not working out. Nair’s boss, Inspector Kurien, is lazy and corrupt. And he hates Nair. Because Nair doesn’t know how to shut up. Or keep his head down. The yoga-loving, pure vegetarian Nair is made for action. And action is his downfall. It begins with an outbreak of delirious dancing amongst guests attending the fabulous Saturday afternoon High Tea at a luxurious 5-star hotel. It progresses as a mad chase across the coastal city of Cochin, from waterfront, to beach, to warehouse. There is subterfuge, conspiracy, criminality and chaos. All to answer the question of what made the High Tea quite so high? This standalone novella is a prequel to 2022 Page Turner Award finalist ‘The Tender Coconut Tamasha’ by Joe Chacko.

[Katherine Boo] shows us how people in the most desperate circumstances can find the resilience to hang on to their humanity. Just as important, she makes us care.”—People “A tour de force of social justice reportage and a literary masterpiece.”—Judges, PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times • The Washington Post • O: The Oprah Magazine • USA Today • New York • The Miami Herald • San Francisco Chronicle • Newsday In this breathtaking book by Pulitzer Prize winner Katherine Boo, a bewildering age of global change and inequality is made human through the dramatic story of families striving toward a better life in Annawadi, a makeshift settlement in the shadow of luxury hotels near the Mumbai airport. As India starts to prosper, the residents of Annawadi are electric with hope. Abdul, an enterprising teenager, sees “a fortune beyond counting” in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Meanwhile Asha, a woman of formidable ambition, has identified a shadier route to the middle class. With a little luck, her beautiful daughter, Annawadi’s “most-everything girl,” might become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest children, like the young thief Kalu, feel themselves inching closer to their dreams. But then Abdul is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion, caste, sex, power, and economic envy turn brutal. With intelligence, humor, and deep insight into what connects people to one another in an era of tumultuous change, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, based on years of uncompromising reporting, carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century’s hidden worlds—and into the hearts of families impossible to forget.

Book excerpt: Fifty-year-old Mira is a middle-class woman who has been thrown willy-nilly into a wide world of claustrophobic, inconceivable privilege in Mumbai, India. By day, she is a devoted companion to Vikram, her sweet and loving husband, and best friend to Megha, her soul sister. But when darkness falls and Mira sleeps, her astral travels lead her deep into a different realm where she realizes bliss, fears, and premonitions not found in the earthly world. Miras house servant, Chandra, is a beautiful, underprivileged tribal girl from a distant village in Tamil Nadu who is unfortunately bound by blind customs and an oppressive society. As Miras dreams, musings, and astral travels shape her evolution as a very special and unique person, these episodes not only bring her wisdom and solace, but also help her to transform Chandras life and the lives of many others. But will Miras out-of-body experiences strengthen her to triumphantly emerge from her roller-coaster life or lead her somewhere she never imagined? The Mystic Journey shares a tale of joy, doubt, fear, and the unbearable lightness of being as an Indian woman seeks liberation through her astral travels.

Book excerpt: First published in 1965, The Culture and Civilisation of Ancient India in Historical Outline is a strikingly original work, the first real cultural history of India. The main features of the Indian character are traced back into remote antiquity as the natural outgrowth of historical process. Did the change from food gathering and the pastoral life to agriculture make new religions necessary? Why did the Indian cities vanish with hardly a trace and leave no memory? Who were the Aryans – if any? Why should Buddhism, Jainism, and so many other sects of the same type come into being at one time and in the same region? How could Buddhism spread over so large a part of Asia while dying out completely in the land of its origin? What caused the rise and collapse of the Magadhan empire; was the Gupta empire fundamentally different from its great predecessor, or just one more ‘oriental despotism’? These are some of the many questions handled with great insight, yet in the simplest terms, in this stimulating work. This book will be of interest to students of history, sociology, archaeology, anthropology, cultural studies, South Asian studies and ethnic studies.

Book excerpt: Upinder Singh urges us to abandon simplistic stereotypes and instead think of ancient India in terms of the coexistence of five powerful contradictions-between social inequality and promises of universal salvation, the valorization of desire and detachment, goddess worship and misogyny, violence and non-violence, and religious debate and conflict. She does so using a vast array of sources including religious and philosophical texts, epics, poetry, plays, technical treatises, satire, biographies, and inscriptions, as well as the material and aesthetic evidence of archaeology and art from sites across the subcontinent. Singh's scholarly but highly accessible style, clear explanation, and balanced interpretations offer an understanding of the historian's craft and unravel the many threads of what we think of as ancient Indian culture. This is not a dead or forgotten past but one invoked in different contexts even today. Further, in spite of enormous historical changes over the centuries, the contradictions discussed here still remain.

Book excerpt: An enormously satisfying, exciting and enriching book, Vikram Chandra's novel draws the reader deep into the lives of detective Sartaj Singh and Ganesh Gaitonde, the most wanted gangster in India. Sartaj, the only Sikh inspector in the whole of Mumbai, is used to being identified by his turban, beard and the sharp cut of his trousers. But 'the silky Sikh' is now past forty, his marriage is over and his career prospects are on the slide. When Sartaj gets an anonymous tip off as to the secret hideout of the legendary boss of the G-company, he's determined that he'll be the one to collect the prize. This is a sprawling, epic novel of friendships and betrayals, of terrible violence, of an astonishing modern city and its underworld. Drawing on the best of Victorian fiction, mystery novels, Bollywood movies and Vikram Chandra's years of first hand research on the streets of Mumbai, this novel reads like a potboiling page-turner but resonates with the intelligence and emotional depth of the best of literature.
