About the Book THE BOOK IS A PRIMER TO THE INCREDIBLE DIVERSITY OF WILDLIFE IN INDIA. Veera, the old tiger king of Mahovann, is planning to retire from the throne of Mahovann. But before that he needs to resolve an unpleasant situation that has arisen from the arrival of some uninvited wolves at the edge of his kingdom. What follows is an unfortunate episode that leads to Veera sending his trusted friend and lieutenant Bhairav to prison. Bhairav's son, the mighty Taranath, who believes injustice has been meted, seeks revenge. Under the guidance of Daaga the fox, Taranath imprisons Veera's son Ustaad and sends the prince's mate Sultana and their cubs into exile. Daaga and Taranath scheme to eliminate the entire tiger family. Do they succeed? Will Ustaad break free? Who will deliver the creatures of the great forest from the dark age that has come upon them? The Tiger, the Bear and the Battle for Mahovana is a story about self-belief and facing up to insurmountable odds. Set in the animal kingdom, it is also as much a primer to India's incredible wildlife diversity as it is a riveting tale about the choices we make and the true meaning of justice.

Bombay, 1942 With Mahatma Gandhi's call to the British to Quit India, the city has become a hotbed of revolutionary activity-student protests, secret magazines and even an underground People's Radio which broadcasts news that the British want concealed. Sakina and her friends Zenobia and Mehul desperately want to be part of this struggle for freedom. But there is little that they are permitted to do. But at least, they are trying to do something useful, while their mothers are only running a cooking club ... The Songs of Freedom series explores the lives of children across India during the struggle for independence.
Sahir Ludhianvi is probably the only songwriter in Hindi films whose poetry was accepted in its purest form and incorporated as a film song. So great was his stature as an Urdu poet that he never had to mould his poetry to suit the demands of film songwriting; instead, producers and composers adapted their requirements to his poetry. His songs in films like Pyaasa, Naya Daur and Phir Subah Hogi have attained the status of classics. This exhaustive biography traces the poet's rich life, from his troubled childhood and his equally troubled love relationships, to his rise as one of the pre-eminent personalities of the Progressive Writers Movement and his journey as lyricist through the golden era of Hindi film music, the 1950s and 1960s.
During the June 2020 territorial dispute over Kalapani, India blamed tensions on a newly assertive Nepal's deepening relations with China. But beyond the accusations and grandstanding, this reflects a new reality: the power equations in South Asia have been redrawn, to make space for China. Nepal did not turn northwards overnight. Its ties with China have deep historical roots built on Buddhism, dating to the early first millennium. While India's unofficial 2015 blockade provided momentum to the rift with Delhi, Nepal has long wanted deeper ties with Beijing, to counteract India's oppressive intimacy. With China's growing South Asian and global ambitions, Nepal now has a new primary bilateral partner-and Nepalis are forging a path towards modernity with its help, both in the remote borderlands and in the cities. All Roads Lead North offers a long view of Nepal's foreign relations, today underpinned by China's world-power status. Sharing never- before-told stories about Tibetan guerrilla fighters, failed coup leaders and trans- Himalayan traders, Nepal analyst Amish Raj Mulmi examines the histories binding mountain communities together across the Sino-Nepali border. Part history, part journalistic account, Mulmi's is a complex, compelling and rigorously researched study of a small country caught between two neighbourhood giants.
