[King: A Life]( By Jonathan Eig Rajan says: "This Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of the American civil-rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., offers a nuanced take on the life of a complicated, somewhat flawed, but ultimately heroic figure." [White Teeth]( By Zadie Smith Rajan says: "Smith’s fantastic debut novel, first published nearly 25 years ago, is an interesting and funny read about the immigrant experience." Rohit Lamba Recommends... [Savarkar and the Making of Hindutva]( By Janaki Bakhle Lamba says: "Vinayak Damodar Savarkar is an important but polarizing figure in modern Indian history. He is regarded as the intellectual founder of 'Hindutva,' a movement that is central to the ideology of the Bhartiya Janata Party, which has been in power in India since 2014. Bakhle uses primary sources, including her subject’s Marathi-language writings, to paint an impressive scholarly picture of Savarkar’s life and thoughts." Don't miss our new Say More interview with Rajan and Lamba, in which they argue that India must place the highest priority on creating and owning intellectual property, advocate an alternative to interventionist industrial policies, call for the decentralization of Indian governance at every level, and more.
