Triple Talaq: Examining Faith
By Salman Khurshid
Salman Khurshid’s book is an attempt to make sense of the various pronouncements in the Shayara Bano verdict and also the Muslim law of divorce.

By Yanis Varoufakis
In Talking to My Daughter About the Economy, Yanis Varoufakis, an economist who has served as Greece’s finance minister, achieves a difficult feat: he offers a potted history of capitalism and demystifies the building blocks of economics such as debt, money, commodity, and exchange value, without recourse to economic jargon.
