Lalu Prasad, India's Miracle
Political biography of Laloo Prasad Yadav, b. 1948, minister of Indian Railways and former chief minister of Bihar.
Gopalganj to Raisina
Few Indian politicians can match the mass appeal and charisma of Lalu Prasad Yadav. As the leader of a political party, as the Chief Minister of Bihar and as Union Minister, he blazed a trail, bringing a dash of rustic wit and flair into the nation's political narrative of drab 'political correctness'. Although essentially a regional leader, his influence has extended beyond his home state, often impacting important political developments at the Centre. Gopalganj to Raisina Road is the journey of India's most colourful political leader. From his humble origins in Phulwaria village to his remarkable rise as Railway Minister, the narrative relives the twists and turns and the highs and lows of...

Pursuit of Law and Order
"This book is an unusual, bold and frank autobiography of A.P. Durai, a seasoned officer of the Indian Police Service, well known for his integrity, professionalism and courage to stand up to the consequent challenges and persecution. His independent and value - oriented approach to his work brought, in its wake, opposition from within the department and, inevitably, the politicians. How he mastered these challenges with faith and courage, and utilized them as opportunities to develop himself into an effective, creative and innovative police leader is the theme of the book. Midway through his career, he discovered that bringing about ‘law and order’ within oneself was a prerequisite for ...
Rabri Devi
The script of Rabri Devi's journey from her ancestral home in Selar Kalan village to 1 Anne Marg, her official residence as the Chief Minister of Bihar, appears to be borrowed directly from a Bollywood movie. This journey into limelights began right from the time when Rabri moved into a one-room chaprasi quarter of the Patna Veterinary College which housed her husband, his elder brother and his wife, and more than half-a-dozen children. Now the leader of the Opposition, she awaits her chance to yet again take a shot at the chief minister s post. Rabri s ascendancy was taken by many as the rise of women-power in Bihar. Her humble background and the rustic touch perhaps inspires millions of wo...

The White Tiger
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE The stunning Booker Prize–winning novel from the author of Amnesty and Selection Day that critics have likened to Richard Wright’s Native Son, The White Tiger follows a darkly comic Bangalore driver through the poverty and corruption of modern India’s caste society. “This is the authentic voice of the Third World, like you've never heard it before” (John Burdett, Bangkok 8). The white tiger of this novel is Balram Halwai, a poor Indian villager whose great ambition leads him to the zenith of Indian business culture, the world of the Bangalore entrepreneur. On the occasion of the president of China’s impending trip to Bangalore, Balram writes a letter to him describing his transformation and his experience as driver and servant to a wealthy Indian family, which he thinks exemplifies the contradictions and complications of Indian society. Recalling The Death of Vishnu and Bangkok 8 in ambition, scope, The White Tiger is narrative genius with a mischief and personality all its own. Amoral, irreverent, deeply endearing, and utterly contemporary, this novel is an international publishing sensation—and a startling, provocative debut.
The Brothers Bihari
Laloo Yadav and Nitish Kumar, chalk and cheese. One a charismatic populist, the other a shrewd introvert. Taken together, a mesmerizing duo: heroes to some, villains to others, champions of the underdog yet imperious of manner; allies in youth, foes in mid-life, now ageing veterans. For a quarter of a century, the two by turns dictated the destiny of Bihar.What do Laloo and Nitish mean to Bihar? Here, for the first time, a revised and updated omnibus edition of Sankarshan Thakur's widely acclaimed biographies of the men. From one of India's finest journalists, this masterful narrative--part personal memoir, part political portraiture, part unsparing perspective--is essential reading to understand Bihar. In the lives of the two giants also lies the arresting story of one of India's largest and most challenging states.
