As she builds her own life anew, an Italian writer embarks on an all-consuming search for the true story of the mysterious princess H. H. Amrit Kaur of Mandi. On a sweltering day in 2007, having just lost her brother to illness, Livia Manera Sambuy finds herself at a museum in Mumbai, enthralled by a 1924 photograph of a stunningly elegant Indian princess. What she reads in the picture’s caption will change her life forever. This alluring Punjabi royal had supposedly sold her jewels in occupied wartime Paris to save Jewish lives, only to be arrested by the Gestapo and sent to a concentration camp, where she died within a year. Could it be true? And if so, how could such a sensational story have gone unreported? Almost against her will, Manera becomes drawn into the mystery of Amrit Kaur. Delving into the history of the British Raj, its durbars and society balls and jubilees, she shows us the precipitous decline of India’s royal caste through the lives of extraordinary figures such as Amrit’s father, the larger-than-life Maharaja Jagatjit Singh of Kapurthala; the Jewish banker Albert Kahn; and the Russian explorer Nicholas Roerich—all while pursuing the elusive Amrit Kaur’s story. When she meets with the princess’s eighty-year-old daughter, Manera’s search takes on a new dimension, as she strives to reintroduce an orphan to a mother who disappeared in 1933, leaving behind two children, her raja husband, and a legacy of activism in India’s nascent women’s civil rights movement. In Search of Amrit Kaur is an engrossing detective story, a kaleidoscopic history lesson, and a moving portrait of a woman seeking personal freedom against the backdrop of a world in upheaval.

Amrit is an honest and aggressive police officer who is driven by a desire to rid society of criminals. His virtuous campaign is impeded when he is charged with the murder of a man he tried to arrest. Harvard-educated lawyer Sukumar pleads Amrit’s bail, and learns interesting details about Amrit’s family and friends. He also contests Amrit’s friend Ajay’s case, and here an abundance of wealth works like a poison in the absence of values. Set in the fictional town of Rajapur, the novel tells the story of two generations from 1990 to 2016. There are situations where villains disguise themselves as innocent individuals to take advantage of the unsuspecting nature of credulous people. Advocate Sukumar frequently quotes from Hitopadesh to emphasize the importance of being careful to avoid being deceived by the wolves in sheep’s clothing. Will he be able to swing a verdict in Amrit’s favor? The novel also raises an important issue on the accountability of the police. Are honest police officers justified in overstepping the boundaries of the law for good reasons?

Amrit Kaal is going to be the most important 25 years of modern India. The indomitable spirit, indestructible grittiness, and undefeatable resolve of almost one-fifth of the global population, as it marches towards prosperity, are set to shape the country’s future in significant ways. While India aims to be a developed country with a GDP of 25 trillion dollars and an upper middle-income country with a per capita income of 10 thousand dollars, the northeast region, particularly Assam, must contribute equally to the growth story of the nation. Assam is a mesmerising Indian state, brimming with diversity and culture, but it also faces economic complexities due to years of disturbances. To catch up with the other developed states, a quick shift of gear needs to be made by applying a model of development that embraces the rich tapestry of Assam’s heritage. The Assam Model is a development approach that comprises short-term goals, such as promoting local industries and attracting investment from established businesses. It also includes aspirational development programs that can bring exponential growth to the state. While Social development is one of the core areas of the model, the efficiency of government enterprises takes as much prominence as running intelligent governance with digital technologies. Celebrating the resilience of a state that continues to evolve and flourish amidst the winds of change, this book contemplates the path ahead towards a prosperous future. Whether you’re an academic, a policymaker, or an inquisitive individual eager to understand Assam’s socio-economic dynamics, The Assam Model of Development in Amrit Kaal offers a compelling blend of knowledge and inspiration. The author expects that the suggestive tone of the book should be construed as an invitation for discussion and debate on the topic of development.
