Hardcover. Zustand: New. As India turns 75, Innovating India unpacks 100 ideas that transformed a young democratic republic into a complex and thriving nation of a billion-plus people. With compelling urgency and the lucidity of a skilled narrator, Dinesh C. Sharma writes of an India newly independent in 1947 after the British colonial powers left it to its own destiny, of its subsequent wavering journey through the decades all the way to a raging pandemic and of the small and big innovations that paved the way for India. In doing so, he turns on their heads prevailing notions of innovation often propagated in a galaxy of books on the much used and abused narrative of jugaad that romance the idea of how the 'poor' innovate to get by. Very often, a bulk of the writing heavily focuses on technological, novel, IT or digital solutions and disruptions alone, most of which fizzle out as one-time wonders. Sharma does the difficult job of writing about the disruptions that revolutionized the way things were done in a particular sector and context. Covering policies, concepts, and institutions in areas such as, but not limited to, science, healthcare, education, governance, business, grassroots movements, agriculture, fashion, law and others, this is a book one needs to read to better understand India. Propulsively put together, with effortless prose, Sharma's writing, with his decades' long journalistic understanding of science, technology, environment, and communities, is teeming with stories and anecdotes of innovations that went on to change the lives of Indians forever. From software parks to shampoos sachets, jan sunwais to oxygen langars, Lijjat papad to mohalla clinics, the Chipko movement to Khabar Lahariya, this is also the story of the unknown, unsung people behind these innovations that are continuing to shape India as we know it.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Hyderabad the city of nawabs, the Charminar and biryani? Or a city plugged into the neural network of global technology? Hyderabad is both of those cities all at once, and there is much more to it than meets the eye. Beyond Biryani maps the journey from what was at best a proto-colonial city under a quasi-Mughal princely state till the 1940s to the modern and vibrant metropolis that Hyderabad is today. In the pages of this book, we see the beginnings of that transformation: the Britishers who steered the city in the direction of developing a scientific temper and the nawabs who championed the cause. And we discover the workings and patterns of the change: from the Chloroform Commissions to Ronald Ross's discovery of malaria; from the setting up of Osmania University, India's first vernacular university, to the newly independent India pushing for industrial laboratories, scientific research and strategic forays into nuclear fuel and missiles. Finally, we discover how, in the last thirty years, Hyderabad has taken giant leaps towards becoming a truly globalised city. An alternative history of the city of Hyderabad, Beyond Biryani is a must-read for anyone interested in how a city can catapult towards modernity while staying rooted in its cultural heritage.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. As a young, modern nation-state - an 'underdog' in the developing world - India has led the space research race with tremendous frugality and nimble innovation. In doing so, it has made a stellar claim for itself in what had hitherto remained a big boys' club. This is the fascinating story of India and Indians in space. Parallelly, this is also the story of how a developing nation, grappling with problems of the twentieth century such as poverty and hunger, slowly rose to become a world leader in space research. With Chandrayaan-3, what India achieved in its mission to the moon cost it half of what it cost Christopher Nolan to make Oppenheimer. As India announces its most ambitious leap yet towards space exploration with Gaganyaan, all eyes are on it. Dinesh C. Sharma writes of this nothing-short-of-shocking journey spread over six decades of India in space research. Narrative science and human history at its very best, Space is a compelling account of the Indian space programme and the unsung biographies of Indian astronauts, their starbound journeys, failures and triumphs.…
