Oxygen Manifesto is a story of the triumph of ordinary people over the might of the establishmentin their battle to save the environment.Thatha lives in a remote and inaccessible part of Manipur and Ravi is a young IAS officer fromthe Tamil Nadu cadre. Circumstances bring them together and they create the most effectiveenvironmental movement the world has ever seen. They shun the politics of criticism and personalattacks and focus on establishing a new polity based on the principles of environmental protection,habitat conservation, direct civil action and democratic decentralization.Oxygen Manifesto is an engaging story about environmental degradation and the impact of theAnthropocene. It exposes the myth around wealth creation and the paradigm of economic growth.It also plants a development narrative that is environment-centric-an idea which is consideredfringe in today's times, but is bound to emerge as a mainstream thought in the future.The story also has an undercurrent of minimalism and veganism, as opposed to consumerism andwasteful consumption. A novel concept of taxing goods and services based on their carbon andwater footprint has also been introduced by the writer. This is a must-read for anyone who caresabout the future of human civilization.

When the land is wounded, the soul must rise.After vanishing without a trace, India's former president Ranjeeth returns-not to power, but to thepeople. Wordless and barefoot, he walks the length of a country ravaged by climate chaos: scorchedfields and forests, swamped slums, forgotten histories and ghost towns abandoned to time and tide.Each step is a quiet rebellion to reclaim our Earth. Each pause, a prayer for forgiveness.Part prophecy, part protest, Testimony by Fire is the haunting tale of a man who chooses silence over speeches, presence over theatrics. As nature's fury looms and the nation aches with gaping wounds, Ranji's journey becomes a mirror to our own-a call to notice what we've ignored, to feel what we've numbed, to mend what we've plundered. Because change doesn't roar. It walks.
