I DO WHAT I DO

By Raghuram G. Rajan. India HarperBusiness 2017 , When Raghuram G. Rajan took charge as Governor of the Reserve Bank of India in September 2013, the rupee was in free fall, inflation was high, India had a large current account deficit and India’s exchange reserves were falling. As measure after measure failed to stabilize markets, speculators sensed a full-blown crisis and labelled India one of the Fragile Five economies. Rajan’s response was to go all out, not just to tackle the crisis of confidence, but also to send a strong message about the strength of India’s institutions and the country’s ongoing programme of reform. He outlined a vision that went beyond the immediate crisis to focus on long-term growth and stability, thus restoring investor confidence. Boldness and farsightedness would be characteristic of the decisions he took in the ensuing three years. Rajan’s commentary and speeches in I Do What I Do convey what it was like to be at the helm of the central bank in those turbulent but exciting times. Whether on dosanomics or on debt relief, Rajan explains economic concepts in a readily accessible way. Equally, he addresses key issues that are not in any banking manual but essential to growth: the need for tolerance and respect to assure India’s economic progress, for instance, or the connection between political freedom and prosperity. I Do What I Do offers a front-row view into the thinking of one of the world’s most respected economists, one whose commitment to India’s progress shines through in the essays and speeches here. It also brings home what every RBI Governor discovers for himself when he sits down at his desk on the 18th floor: the rupee stops here. Right here! 9789352770144

REBEL BASTAR : History, Maoism And The Search For Answers In Indias Heartland

By Shantanu Nandan Sharma. Hachette India 2026 , IN MARCH 2026, THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA DECLARED THE MAOIST INSURGENCY AS EFFECTIVELY DEFEATED. BUT A QUESTION LINGERS STILL: WHY DID A FOREIGN IDEOLOGY FIND A HAVEN IN BASTAR FOR OVER FOUR DECADES TO BEGIN WITH?Senior journalist Shantanu Nandan Sharma maps the deeper history of a gravely misunderstood region, which for centuries has stood at the intersection of uneven state presence and popular resistance. Bastar first unfolded for him in the aftermath of India’s 2016 demonetization, when newly issued currency notes surfaced deep inside the insurgent-held territory. In the successive years covering the wooded pocket, Sharma’s findings challenged the familiar narratives of the Red Corridor, underscoring the land’s millennia-long turbulent past.We move from human sacrifices in Dantewada to British-sponsored incursions into Bastar’s forests and kingdoms for teak wood and minerals, from a tribal uprising led by a tragic, beloved prince to developmental failures and the gradual rise of Maoist influence. Steadily, Naxalism surfaces as a recent chapter in a much longer history of contestation and administrative mistrust.Rich in reportage and historical insight, Rebel Bastar examines how armed movements in India’s heartland embedded within its tight indigenous societies, why they endured and whether their decline is only conditional. 9789357313179
