In March 2008, Permanent Black and the New India Foundation
jointly published Harish Damodaran's book India's New
Capitalists. The rights for the European and North American
editions were sold to Palgrave Macmillan. This landmark study,
which investigates the sociology and history of India's business
communities since Independence, is the outcome of a New India
Fellowship. It has been widely and very favourably reviewed, and
also featured in a special article in the Economist.
Damodaran’s book is the first in a series of books that shall
emanate from the Fellowships. Before the end of 2008, two other
books by New India Fellows will be in print. Vasanthi
Srinivasan’s Gandhi’s Conscience-Keeper, a study of the
political philosophy of C. Rajagopalachari, is to be published
by Permanent Black. Dinesh C. Sharma’s The Long Revolution, a
history of India’s computer and IT industry, is to be published
by HarperCollins India. Other books in the series will likewise
be published by the most prestigious presses in India and
abroad. |
