Summary: ‘Without doubt, those who have been invited to contribute are eminently qualified in several respects: they have made a name for themselves in their chosen profession; by and large, they have made a positive contribution not only to their profession but also to the larger public cause; and, whilst one may or may not agree with the political views they espouse or the trajectory that they may have embarked upon, they do stand out.’ Many of India’s most consequential nation-builders and opinion-makers have emerged from the hallowed grounds of India’s most sought-after educational institution—the University of Delhi or DU, as it is popularly known. Institutions have waxed and waned over the years, but DU has always succeeded in reinventing itself to meet the demands of every decade. It is, therefore, not surprising that its alumni include highly respected government leaders, artists, entrepreneurs and littérateurs, who have been central to India’s remarkable journey. Delhi University: Celebrating 100 Glorious Years is an eclectic collection of personal narratives and reflections of some of the University’s most distinguished alumni and faculty—Amitabh Bachchan, Kiren Rijiju, Dinesh Singh, Meenakshi Gopinath, Shashi Tharoor, Bibek Debroy, Imtiaz Ali, Raian Karanjawala, Sanjeev Sanyal, Arnab Goswami, Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud, Lakshmi Puri, Namita Gokhale and Vijay Shekhar Sharma. Together, with editor Hardeep S. Puri, they celebrate the inimitable essence of DU—from its rich history, ethos and vibrant student life to its remarkable contribution to society and culture, both in India and across the globe. https://www.amazon.in/DELHI-UNIVERSITY-Celebrating-Glorious-Years/dp/9355203888
