The Constitution of India Simplified (2018)
Although political circles refer the Constitution of India as a “sacred” document which has guided the inner workings of the “world’s largest democracy” since 1950, it has mysteriously escaped critical inquiry. Why? Is it because of its bulkiness? Its complexity? Its inconsistencies and contradictions?
The Constitution of India Simplified invites the common person to examine the internals of the Indian Constitution in order to comprehend its basic contents and discover how to make a little sense out of the document’s seemingly bewildering set of principles.
Captivating the Simple-Hearted (2017)
In the midst of a society dominated by the caste system and foreign invasions, new leaders arose to introduce a philosophy and lifestyle which captivated the simple-hearted, brought human dignity to the downtrodden masses, and continues to impact the Indian Subcontinent.
Captivating the Simple-Hearted focuses on the origins, development, and beliefs of the Sikh community, placing their history in context of the broader history of the region and the anti-caste struggle which traces back to Gautama Buddha.

Praise for Captivating the Simple-Hearted
“Captivating is a timely work that interrogates the structure of caste and its impact on marginalized peoples of South Asia. The work weaves a rich brocade of history, ideology, and praxis that has been put to use by the elite at the apex of the caste pyramid to subjugate hundreds of millions of people in one of the most oppressive nations on earth.”
“The authors compellingly argue for the suffering millions to derive inspiration from the Sikh Revolution, which envisioned India as a modern, casteless, classless society with equitable mobility and which galvanized the masses through a long period.”
“Captivating probes what it means to be Sikh and brings important questions of Sikh resistance into the forefront with a wide spectrum of historical accounts that rupture hegemonic discourses.”
“This little book has a potential of forging solidarity among the victims of horrendous Hindutva majoritarianism for a future egalitarian society as it is solidly based on the rich heritage of emancipatory movements, Sikhism in particular.”
