Spanning more than a century of Indian history, and decidedly transnational in reference, this audiobook offers rich resources for considering the threat of climate change today.

Hicky's Bengal Gazette is the story of India's first newspaper and its pivotal role in exposing the corruption of the British imperialist project. The story opens in late-eighteenth century Calcutta. The British are well-ensconced in Bengal but the Raj has yet to emerge. Irishman, James August Hicky, arrives in Calcutta as a surgeon's mate, seeking his fame and fortune. He soon finds himself in debtors' prison, however, and it's while in jail that he first acquires the printing press that sets him on a collision course with the British East India Company.

Today, mobile connections are so readily accessible that it is perhaps easy to forget the time when only the elite had access to a phone provided by the sole operator: the Government of India. It all changed in the early 1990s as liberalisation stirred the Indian economy out of its decades of complacency. The Telecom Wars begins its narration from those times, traversing the uncertain early years of the mobile phone industry. It is a vivid portrait of the fierce competition as Tata, Birla, Reliance, and Bharti bid to capture the lion’s share of India’s billion voices.

The nineteenth century was an exciting time of initiative and enterprise around the world. If John D. Rockefeller was creating unimagined wealth in the United States that he would put to the service of the nation, a Parsi family with humble roots was doing the same in India.

In 1857 in India the "Sepoy" battalions took the opportunity to rise up against British rule. The sepoys were soldiers that were raised and paid for by the British East India Company and used to help maintain control of India for the British Empire. This book relates the events of the mutiny with detailed descriptions of the various battles and sieges of the rebellion.

The Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place on April 13, 1919, marking a dark day in India’s freedom struggle. On Vaisakhi, thousands gathered in Amritsar to protest the Rowlatt Act. General Dyer ordered indiscriminate firing on the unarmed crowd, resulting in immense loss of life. This brutal incident became a symbol of colonial oppression. Jallianwala Bagh is now a revered monument of sacrifice. The book narrates the story of India’s fight for independence.

In the hush between monsoon thunder and moonlit stillness, the hills of Assam have always whispered secrets. From the dense forests of Dima Hasao to the stilted villages along the Brahmaputra, ancient names still crawl across the memory of the land—Khoba-Khubi, Baak, Puwali Bhoot, Dainee, Jokhini. These are not merely ghosts, but living testaments to the cosmology of fear, justice, transgression, and survival among the people who have long dwelled in this region. Assamese demonology is not a closed system, but a breathing map of emotion, ethics, and ecology.

We think of the Raj as controlling only India and Pakistan, and its breakup happening in August 1947. In reality, a quarter of the world’s population was ruled by the Viceroy from New Delhi, in a single market/rupee-currency zone that spread from the Red Sea to the borders of Thailand – an empire within an empire that included Burma, parts of Yemen, and most of the Gulf states like Dubai. The breakup of this single ‘Indian Empire’ created almost all of the conflicts which plague Asia today.

India’s Economic Odyssey: Post Independence Milestones takes you on a captivating journey through the pivotal moments, policies, and innovations that shaped India’s economic landscape. From the ambitious First Five-Year Plan to the sweeping liberalization of 1991, the rise of the IT and telecom revolutions, and the challenges of globalization and crises, this series explores how India navigated its path to progress.

Much of world history is Indian history. Home today to one in four people, the subcontinent has long been densely populated and deeply connected to Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas through migration and trade. In this magisterial history, Audrey Truschke tells the fascinating story of the region historically known as India--which includes today's India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and parts of Afghanistan—and the people who have lived there.

Syeda X left the holy city of Banaras (now Varanasi) for Delhi with her young family in the aftermath of riots and communal violence in the early '90s. In Delhi, she settled into the life of a poor migrant, juggling multiple jobs a day - from sewing soccer balls and removing the stems from raisins, to shelling almonds sold in bulk to multinationals and assisting in illegal abortions. Syeda has held over 50 different jobs in 30 years, earning paltry sums in the process. And if she ever took a day off, her job would be lost to another faceless migrant.

ಈ ಕಥನವು ಘಟಿಸುವುದು ಉತ್ತರ ಕನ್ನಡ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ. ಕರಾವಳಿಯ ಈ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಲವು ನದಿಗಳು ಹರಿದು ಸಮುದ್ರ ಸೇರುತ್ತವೆ. ನದಿಯು ಸಮುದ್ರವನ್ನು ಸೇರುವ ತಾಣವು ದೂರದಿಂದ ಶಾಂತ ಮನೋಹರವಾಗಿ ತೋರಿದರೂ, ಆ ಅಳಿವೆಯ ನಡುವೆ ಹೋಗಿ ನೋಡಿದಾಗಲೇ ನದಿಯು ಸಾಗರವನ್ನು ಸೇರುವಾಗಿನ ಕೋಲಾಹಲ ಕಾಣುವುದು. ಅಂತೆಯೇ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಯೊಡನೆ ಸೆಣಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಇಲ್ಲಿಯ ಜೀವನವೂ.

स्वतंत्रता आंदोलनात संघाचा सहभाग होता परंतु संघानी त्याचे श्रेय घेतले नाही. संघसंस्थापक डॉ. हेडगेवार यांनी स्वातंत्र्य संग्रामात भाग घेण्यासाठी आपल्या डाँक्टरी पेशाचा स्वेच्छेने त्याग केला. डॉ. हेडगेवार यांचा जन्म १ एप्रिल,१८८९ साली नागपूर मध्ये झाला. नागपूर मध्ये १९०४-१९०५ मध्ये स्वातंत्र्य चळवळीचे वारे वाहू लागले. त्या आधी इथे पोषक वातावरण नव्हते. तरी १८९७ साली राणी व्हिक्टोरिया यांच्या राज्यारोहणाच्या हिरक जयंती निमित्त शाळांमध्ये मिठाई वाटप करण्यात आली. आठ वर्षाच्या केशवनी (डॉ हेडगेवार) ती मिठाई न खाता कचऱ्यात फेकून दिली.
