INDIA'S NEW CAPITALISTS

Caste, Business, and Industry in a Modern Nation

By: Harish Damodaran

It?s no secret that certain social groups have predominated India?s business and trading history, with business traditionally being the preserve of particular `Bania? communities. However, the past four or so decades have seen a widening of the social base of Indian capital, such that the social profile of Indian business has expanded beyond recognition, and entrepreneurship and commerce in India are no longer the exclusive bastion of the old mercantile castes. In this meticulously researched book ? acclaimed for being the first social history to document and understand India?s new entrepreneurial groups ? Harish Damodaran looks to answer who the new `wealth creators? are, as he traces the transitional entry of India?s middle and lower peasant castes into the business world. Combining analytical rigour with journalistic flair, India?s New Capitalists is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the culture and evolution of business in contemporary South Asia.

At Large in the World

A Memoir

By: Harish Chandola

Sixty years ago, journalism wasn't a glamorous profession in India. There were only a few reporters driven by a sense of adventure and the willingness to travel the world in search of news.Harish Chandola was one such young man who moved from the Garhwal hills to start out as an editorial assistant with the Hindustan Times in Delhi in 1950. Not content with staying in the newsroom, he used his annual leave to journey through Tibet on foot--just when China was beginning its 'incursion' into the region--and was detained by Chinese soldiers for three months.In a major scoop, he became the first journalist to notice 'a new kind of Chinese army in Tibet' in 1954. Prime Minister Nehru dismissed the report as a figment of Chandola's imagination, but it was later discovered that the men were constructing a 1,700-km highway from Lhasa to the Chinese mainland.What followed thereafter was a six-decade-long career in journalism which took him to the frontlines of conflicts in Kenya and Cambodia, the Algerian War of Independence and the middle of a military coup in Indonesia. Back home, he played a role in sensitive negotiations with underground Naga leaders on Lal Bahadur Shastri's request, and was a trusted adviser on some key political issues to Indira Gandhi.At Large in the World tells the stories behind the headlines and makes startling disclosures as it paints a compelling and honest portrait of India in eventful times over the last half-century.
