In India, one of the world’s most polyglot countries, the government wants more than a billion people to embrace Hindi. One scholar thinks that would be a loss.

इसी महीने मैकमिलन से प्रकाशित पुस्तक 'Careless People' अभी अभी मुझे मिली। इसकी लेखक Sarah Wynn-Williams फेसबुक में सात साल तक कार्यरत थीं। उन्होंने इसमें कम्पनी के काले कारनामों का कच्चा चिट्ठा खोला है। संस्मरण के रूप में भी ये उतना ही रोचक जान पड़ता है. किताब मेरे हाथ में है. पढ़कर इसके बारे में बात करूंगा.
