India today is a vibrant free-market democracy, a nation well on its way to overcoming decades of widespread poverty. The nation’s rise is one of the great international stories of the late twentieth century, and in India Unbound the acclaimed columnist Gurcharan Das offers a sweeping economic history of India from independence to the new millennium. Das shows how India’s policies after 1947 condemned the nation to a hobbled economy until 1991, when the government instituted sweeping reforms that paved the way for extraordinary growth. Das traces these developments and tells the stories of the major players from Nehru through today. As the former CEO of Proctor & Gamble India, Das offers a unique insider’s perspective and he deftly interweaves memoir with history, creating a book that is at once vigorously analytical and vividly written. Impassioned, erudite, and eminently readable, India Unbound is a must for anyone interested in the global economy and its future.

Elegant in its beautiful coat and lithe body, the leopard is a majestic predator. It's small size permits it to occupy habitat denied to its larger cousins and its strength, intelligence and ability give it a wide spectrum of prey species ranging in size from a young buffalo to a small rodent. Unfortunately, like its cousins, ruthless poaching and sadly diminishing habitat threaten its survival. This book is the first to collate all available and detailed information on the leopard -- its distribution, colour, behaviour and co-existence with other animals. The book also includes the leopard's encounters with humans and the documented stories of man-eating leopards. The author, an authority on the subject has sieved this body of work from the early issues of the Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society. The author has consciously let the stories speak for themselves, with additional comments, where necessary, to give the reader the flavour of a bygone era. This book is useful for students and researchers, policy makers and naturalists and all those who want to learn about the majestic animal to help save it from extinction.
