Narrative History · Jharkhand
Santhal Paragana
A sweeping chronicle of the Santhal Pargana — from Jurassic lava flows and ancient Asur iron-smelters to the Santhal Hul of 1855 and the birth of a homeland. The definitive history of one of India's most culturally rich tribal regions.
Literary Fiction · A Three-Book Trilogy
By PK Gupta
A laid-off Pune developer boards an impulse train and walks the 900-km Ramayana exile route from Ayodhya to Rameshwaram. A modern journey through ancient India — of loss, rediscovery, and what we carry when we have nothing left.
Fantasy Adventure · Himachal Pradesh
By Sophia
When Myra Thakur returns to her ancestral village, she uncovers a century-old attic trunk containing an embroidered Chamba rumal and a diary in the Takri script, leading her to race against a developer to complete an unfinished magical bargain with a mountain fairy.
