Sanjeev Sanyal’s India Paperback

Rivers, coastlines and trade routes do much of the explaining in Sanjeev Sanyal's work, and three of his books are collected here. Land of the Seven Rivers reads Indian history through geography, The Ocean of Churn moves out into the Indian Ocean and the exchanges that crossed it, and Life over Two Beers and Other Stories turns to short fiction about contemporary urban life. Sanyal argues with received accounts rather than restating them, and he writes for general readers, so the research arrives without academic apparatus in the way. The three volumes: • Land of the Seven Rivers on geography and history • The Ocean of Churn on Indian Ocean exchange • Life over Two Beers and Other Stories, short fiction • A boxed English-language set by Sanjeev Sanyal For history readers, students and anyone interested in how geography shaped the subcontinent, available from Boipoka.
