Jaswin Jassi says that no one connects better with the common man than a commoner. By writing his life story, he has not only dared to substantiate his interesting claim but has also hoped to inspire narrative of lives less ordinary. The "ordinary" people of South Asia and especially those with Punjabi backgrounds would find echoes of their lives in this life story. The honesty with which Jassi effortlessly pens down the contradictions of everyday life is admirable. How often do we find that someone describes himself as a God fearing person and a devoted husband and simultaneously relishes his numerous extra-marital exploits? This book also gives a rare peep into the world of audio-visual media controlled by the central government in India before the era of liberalisation. The social historian would find interesting materials in this self- narrative for mapping a story of upward mobility of Punjabi middle classes in post-independent India's capital.

"I always believe that we should never stop dreaming because it is the first step to achieve something big in life. When we dream for something sincerely, we start taking small steps towards that direction. Each small step takes us nearer to our dream provided we maintain our patience and perseverance. When we sow a seed, we have to water it, nurture it until it becomes a tree. We can’t expect a seed to become a tree overnight.” - From this book

Although the Treaty has survived decades of acrimony and three wars, between India and Pakistan and remains one of the most successful water-sharing arrangements in the world, it has been running into more difficulties in recent times. Following the Uri attack of September 2016 and the Pulwama attack on February 2019, there have been renewed d...

Focuses on how dharma provides the foundation for a new republic—Bibek Debroy Intensely researched argument about an alternative idea of India—Salman Khurshid The year 2014 was a consequential one for the Bharatiya Janata Party and for India. Will 2024 also be so? Is this election about stopping the rise of Narendra Modi and his alleged distortion of the ‘idea of India’ as conceived by its founders, or the beginning of a dharma-inspired ‘second republic?’ In 2014, the BJP, under the leadership of Modi, won a clear majority in the Lok Sabha elections.
