Honoris Causa

Conceived expressly for Aveek Sarkar, the Chief Editor of the Ananda Bazar Group of Publications and indisputably one of the most prominent personalities in the journalism, publishing and media industries of India, Honoris Causa is a unique anthology of essays whose subject matter is as varied as the interests and enthusiasms of the man for whom these pieces were written.

From literature and the arts to aca-demia and the sciences to history and biography, the selections found within this volume reveal an extraordinary intel-lectual terrain, explored by contributors who are not only among Aveek's circle of friends and acquaintances, but also some of the world's most respected experts in their fields.
With essays by David Bell, Harold Evans, Amitav Ghosh, Charles Gray, Mahan Mj, Pratapaditya Pal, Fiona Ross, Alexis Sanderson, Marjorie Scardino and Brian Sutton and a foreword by John Makinson.
