2. DhruvTara: Love Beyond Reason and Space
This is the story of a young dimly-lit star, Tara, who travels the expanse of the universe to find her place in it.

This is a first-hand non-fictionalized account of all that had happened with Sarvjeet Singh Bedi (SSB) when Jasleen Kaur (JK), an AAP party worker and traffic control volunteer, looking to climb faster in her professional career, falsely accused SSB of molestation, through a sensational social media post in 2016.
Soon after the incident, various awards and cash prizes were announced for JK, while Sarvjeet, who initially went into hiding fearing what’s next, was arrested the next day.
However, in a surprising turn of events, an eye witness showed up and changed the game. However, this relief was short-lived for Sarvjeet as the pressure from the media and AAP led to a media trial, which increased the pressure on police administration.
This case took many dramatic turns and had become the topic of discussion in many homes in the nation. While JK became a hero overnight, Sarvjeet was declared a pervert and was treated as an outcast. Many among his family denied any association with them. A lot of celebrities had also taken to different social media platforms to name and shame Sarvjeet, and later ended up apologizing.
Furthermore, the police refused to take the statement of the eyewitness, and the case went on in the court for four years. During this time, Sarvjeet was chucked out of three jobs, his relationships fell apart, and he almost lost his father to poor health.
This book talks about Sarvjeet’s resolve to come out clean and how he gathered evidence bit by bit when he got the hint the government lawyer he had been attached to, was actually working against him… This book chronicles the fight of an ordinary man against the system, corruption, the social media and the news media.

8. The Chessboard of Ayodhya
While the longest epic in the world, the Mahabharat, is widely acclaimed as the story of statecraft, war, and conspiracies, Aruna Trivedi through her book titled The Chessboard of Ayodhya, questions why the longest lyrical poem – the epic Ramayana – is viewed from a different lens.
In this edgy and argumentative account, Dr. Tridedi substantiates her arguments with a host of mythological stories and texts. This book, however, does not lean too heavily on the concept of divinity, which the epic is generally synonymous of.
