About the Book

The Other India: Reinventing Bharat is a volume in honour of His Grace Archbishop Vincent Michael Concessao on the completion of 50 golden years of his service to God and to humanity as a priest. His fifty years of priesthood also coincide with his 75th birthday. The book highlights topics that are not only dear to Archbishop Vincent's heart and espoused by the Catholic Church, they are issues which the Archbishop has rallied for in the public sphere, and for which he has provided outstanding leadership.

The essays, written by eminent authors, focus on stark realities of the India which is not as shining as India Inc. and the rich and powerful would make believe. The essays draw roadmaps that India could follow for a brighter tomorrow.
