Books

 

The New India Foundation Fellowships are envisaged to enable and support high-quality research on a diverse range of topics around post-Independence India, leading to book-length studies. These have resulted in the publication of an eclectic and vibrant collection of twenty-five books so far.

Covering a broad spectrum of subjects and genres, these critically-acclaimed books by eminent scholars, researchers, journalists, and writers have been published under the aegis of the NIF Fellowships.
