A remarkable, first-ever collection of 35 essays on India's future, by a diverse set of authors - activists, researchers, media practitioners, those who have influenced policies and those working at the grassroots. This book brings together scenarios of an India that is politically and socially egalitarian, radically democratic, economically sustainable and equitable, and socio-culturally diverse and harmonious. Alternative Futures: India Unshackled covers a wide range of issues, organized under four sections. It explores ecological futures including environmental governance, biodiversity conservation, water and energy. Next, it envisions political futures including those of democracy and power, law, ideology, and India's role in the globe. A number of essays then look at economic futures, including agriculture, pastoralism, industry, crafts, villages and cities, localization, markets, transportation and technology. Finally, it explores socio-cultural futures, encompassing languages, learning and education, knowledge, health, sexuality and gender, and marginalized sections like dalits, adivasis, and religious minorities. Introductory and concluding essays tie these diverse visions together. Most essays include both futuristic scenarios and present initiatives that demonstrate the possibility of such futures. At a time when India faces increasing polarization along parochial, physical and mental boundaries, these essays provide a breath of fresh air and hope in the grounded possibilities for an alternative, decentralized, eco-culturally centred future. The essays range from the dreamy-eyed to the hard-headed, from the provocative to the gently persuasive. This book would hold appeal for a wide range of readers - youth, academics, development professionals, policy makers, government officials, activists, people's movements, media persons, business persons - concerned about the current state of India and the world, and willing to engage critically in the collective search for a better future.

It is 4697 A.D. and the Earth doesn't exist anymore. Humans reside in a celestial space station that is larger than the average star and is powered by the stars themselves. It is informally called a 'Star-Eater', but its official name is Krikos. While exploring the eternity of space, humans find a possibly habitable solar system. Krikos sends out a mission under the leadership of the famed warrior, Captain Krawn Xanethius, to examine the ideal planet. Krawn soon realises that they are not alone in the Universe. But, his real ambiguity lies in the mysterious existence of a human colony in the system prior to their arrival. A new war would engulf the Galaxy and plethora of lies shall be made known; making the anthropocentric yet existential human being question it all. The truth, though, lies in a small journal, written a thousand years before the birth of Krawn, by the creator of the Krikos and the smartest being to have ever lived - Dr. Flex D'Dustener. Is the purpose of the Krikos to merely save humankind... Or is it much more? Embark on this journey of unknowns and get the answer to the greatest question of all - 'Why?'.

'The Idiosyncrasies of life' narrates the experiences, observations and imaginations of a curious being, that aims to correlate with all the seekers in the world. The essence of life is to make something out of everything and anything that life puts on your table; especially and specifically anything that seems out of sync. Human minds and actions are predominantly asynchronous and disparate. This concise collection of stories, poems, articles and narrations by the author just aims to compile the diversity of the human thought-process, and to subsequently showcase how it can be the same for all yet completely different. Note from the Author: I urge you to shed all inhibitions and start sharing.. Share the joy you have experienced, the pain you have felt, the love you have lost and the one that you've gained, the friendship that has stood the test of time and the one which died too soon. Maybe reading this book would help you share your own life, further motivating someone else to do the same. This is the only way that we can break the shackles of society and make a better place for you and for me.

1. A man alone is a Sceptic Put him in a group and he becomes Gullible. 2. Poverty is power. If the poor are with you never let them go and never let them be rich. 3. If you see a shoe shinier than yours then lick it. This will bring more shine to your own shoe. These three may very well be called the three laws of Politics.

Embark on this journey with Dr Matang Leeladhar Swamy, also known as Matlee, into this re-imagined world where one would get to know 'how' it could've been real. Dive deep into this conundrum of time where the diversion between the past and the future becomes evanescent. Matlee is as oblivious to what lies ahead as you are. He is busy working for ISRO in its most confidential research wing called the Department of Extradimensional Vectors... or D.E.V...
