Healers or Predators?
For every story of optimism about the growth of medical tourism to India, there are multiple others about medical neglect. Scratch the surface and you find a thick layer of corruption in this life-sustaining sector. This hard-hitting volume shows a mirror to society and, more specifically, to those associated with the health sector—on how healers, in many cases, are shifting shape to becoming predators. In the essays by contributors from within and outside the medical fraternity, we see the many faces, the many facets of corruption—from exorbitant billing by corporate hospitals to the non-merit-based selection in medical colleges to questionable motives playing strong in the area of organ transplantation. But Healers or Predators? is not only about the illness affecting the sector. It also offers solutions, and some stories of hope. The Foreword by Amartya Sen is an added bonus. ‘This splendid, if depressing, book will do a lot to remedy [the] momentous neglect [of healthcare]. We have excellent reasons to be grateful to the authors and editors of this important collection of investigative studies.’—Amartya Sen

Shoes and Skies
Presenting a brand new collection of more than 200 poems that generously engage with various poetic devices. A must-have collection for readers who want to flirt with the classical 'old world' charm of poetry that is also firmly anchored in fresh breaths of contemporary themes. The author paints vivid, ambient, and emotional landscapes with words, stitching fantastical narratives that catch you off guard. A poem on pressure cookers? Eggs, paperweights, pistachios, bears speaking French, a rat dating a nightingale, chickens entering the disco? These and several such surreal metaphors creatively explore grander concerns that also embody acute observations of human life and deeper layers of our collective psyche. Dollops of wit, romance, humor, hope, and satire have been lavishly scattered throughout the book, highlighting different shades of many elucidated topics. To summarize, this book is enamored with rich, intricately layered imagery and ideas in writing that probe a multitude of dimensions while maintaining affinity to the literary quality of its works.

State of Democracy in South Asia
"This report seeks to shift the locus of discourse on democracy away from the global North to 'most of the world'. It does so by examining democratic experience in South Asia - a region marked by poverty, illiteracy, complex diversities, and multiple and overlapping structures of social hierarchy-and by daring to ask not just what democracy has done to South Asia but also what South Asia has done to democracy. Based on the first - ever social scientific survey of political opinions and attitudes across the five countries in the region-Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka-the report offers a fresh analysis of the promise of democracy for the ordinary people, its institutional slippages, obstacles in its functioning, and its mixed outcomes. The report combines public opinion data with expert assessment, case studies, and dialogue with democracy activists."--BOOK JACKET.
