| भारत का वैकल्पिक भविष्य: कुछ झलक |
लेखक : अशीष कोठारी एवं के. जे. जॉय अनुवाद: सीमा बजाज
यह दो लेख ‘ऑल्टेर्नेटिव फ्युचर्स: इन्डिया अन्शैकल्ड’ किताब जो २०१७ में छपी थी, से लिये व अनुवादित किये गये हैं। उस किताब के छपने के बाद कई साल गुज़र गये हैं, पर हमें लगता है कि अभी भी इनका सन्देश व अर्थ महत्वपूर्ण है।पहला लेख पुस्तक के परिचय के रूप में था, जिसमे सम्मिलित ३५ लेखों का वर्णन किया गया है। दूसरा लेख एक समापन के रूप में था, जिसमे सन् २१०० मे एक काल्पनिक भाषण का वर्णन है, कि भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप मे हुए क्रान्तिकारी बदलावों के बारे मे ज़िक्र है।
