Economist Gandhi
The Political Economy of the Mahatma, Its Roots and Relevance
About the Book
This book is a refreshing take on Gandhi’s economic philosophy. It provides insights into the hidden facet of Gandhi’s personality, and his thoughts on economics and capitalism. The book captures aspects of Gandhi’s thinking usually missed by those who are sure they know Gandhi. This is probably the first book on Gandhi that claims that Gandhi was not against business and capitalists. In fact, the author maintains that Gandhi was a Baniya by caste, and this is what explains Gandhi’s positive approach towards business, trade and wealth.

The Battle of Rezang La
The untold story of the heroic battle of Rezang La
About the Book
120 soldiers. 6 left. 5 prisoners. 2 escapees. 1 battle.
On 20 October 1962, India had been caught off guard in the face of a Chinese blitz. China wanted to ‘teach India a lesson’, and launched a simultaneous attack in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. Only 10,000 Indian soldiers were sent to defend their land against 80,000 Chinese adversaries In the war that ensued, India lost 4000 soldiers and 45,000 sq km of land (as big as Switzerland). The 1962 Indo-Sino war eventually left a scar that continues to linger in the nation’s collective memory Within this dark period of history stands resolute a bright spot, a strategically pivotal victory-the battle of Rezang La. On 18 November 1962, the Charlie Company of the 13th Kumaon Regiment fought off the Chinese at Rezang La Pass. Their valour not only successfully stopped China’s advance but also possibly saved the entire Ladakh region from falling into the hands of the People’s Liberation Army.Even today, a year after the Galwan Valley clash in 2020, tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations continue to bubble. And India must learn from its history to understand how it eventually thwarted the enemy back in 1962. From a former Commandant at the Indian Coast Guard, based on interviews and in-depth research, comes The Battle of Rezang La, the untold story of a remarkable victory and one of the most decorated Companies in the Indian Army to this day.

Kathmandu Dilemma
Resetting India-Nepal Ties
About the Book
The vicissitudes of the India Nepal relationship, as told by a former Indian ambassador to Nepal
The first two decades of the new millennium have witnessed a dramatic sociopolitical transformation of Nepal. A violent Maoist insurgency ended peacefully, a new Constitution abolished the monarchy and established a secular federal democratic republic. Nevertheless, political stability and a peace dividend have both remained elusive.
Nepal is also buffeted by changing geopolitics, including the US-China contestation for influence and the uneasy relationship between India and China. As a close neighbour, India has been deeply associated with the seminal changes in Nepal, with the bilateral relationship seeing many twists and turns. This book examines India’s perspective on these developments in the context of the civilizational and economic underpinnings of the relationship, as well as the issues that continue to prevent it from exploiting its full potential.
Though there are several Nepalese accounts available, there are few from an Indian point of view. Kathmandu Dilemma fills this gap.
Ranjit Rae is a former Indian ambassador to Nepal He also headed the Northern Division in the Ministry of External Affairs, dealing with India’s Himalayan neighbours, Nepal and Bhutan, during 2002 2006 Since retirement, Rae has been involved in travelling, trekking and trying to make sense of the developments in Nepal He has contributed articles on Nepal to several newspapers This is his first book
