It was a Pleasure to host Mallika Ravikumar with her book ‘565: The Dramatic Story of Unifying India’. The book is a thoroughly researched literary work which gives the gripping account of key events and personalities of the time. We had a near-full house comprising curious school kids, young adults, as also people interested in history.
After two centuries of being a colony, India would finally become an independent nation on 15 August 1947. The princely states were given three choices: accede to India, join Pakistan or remain free. In a gripping account, highlighting the key events and personalities of the time, Mallika Ravikumar in a thoroughly researched book titled ‘565: The Dramatic Story of Unifying India’ introduces readers to the dramatic saga of how a great nation was forged. The author adds a unique human and emotional angle to make history relatable and encourage everyone to seek more information and answers.
The Nehru Centre Library is pleased to invite you to a talk and presentation on the book in which the author gives a vivid account of the accession of princely states like Travancore, Bhopal, Gwalior, Indore, Bikaner and others. Some praise for the book by eminent writers is attached for reference.

There are fairytales and fairy tales….But on Saturday, 7th December, we were happy to host the authors of a book ‘And They Lived… Ever After: Disabled Women Retell Fairy Tales’ who retold fairy tales to create awareness about inclusivity. These were tales told by women with disability and the book contains 13 stories written by them.
It was good to see almost full house in this ‘Performance Reading’ @Nehrucentrelibrary.
Thank you Diiva Dhanoya for all your support.
Thank you, Kanika Agarwal, Parita Dholakia and Leena Wadhwa for your presence.

The Nehru Centre Library hosted the students of Rohidas Patil Institute of Management studies to its premises.
30 students and 3 faculty members were given a guided tour of our facility and a detailed orientation about the subjects – specific services that we offer.
Since they were post – graduate students of management studies, we gave them information about our documentation services, our online catalogue, and the Info packs as a part of our Current Awareness Services
The Nehru Centre Library is pleased to invite you to a book discussion and performance reading on ‘And They Lived… Ever After: Disabled Women Retell Fairy Tales’ written by various authors on Saturday, 7th December, 2024 from 4.30 p.m. onwards.
As the title suggests, the authors of this collection seek to retell classic stories by weaving in their own everyday experiences – the struggles, joys and frustrations that may not be known to the non – disabled. So please join us for a performance reading on two stories from the book by registering at nehrucentrelibrary@gmail.com . You can also register by scanning the QR code given in the e- invite attached.
