1. India’s Coal Story, publisher—Sage Publications, April, 2017
   —-Written in the form of a news story the book is based on two years of research. It traces how India’s coal reserves were the lifeline that fuelled the British Empire in Asia. And yet today this industry is on the verge of collapse. The mineral was at the centre of a major political scandal that nearly sent a prime minister to jail. It explores why since Independence, Indian business and Indian government could not settle the rights on energy security, creating the murky politics of coal–& finally forced India to engage in rivalry with other powers on seas, to secure its energy security. https://in.sagepub.com/en-in/sas/india%E2%80%99s-coal-story/book258445
