Veteran editor and writer Rohit Saran offers a striking new way to understand the country in 100 Ways to See India: Stats, Stories, and Surprises, a visually rich book that blends data, storytelling and sharp insights into everyday Indian realities. Instead of dense analysis, the book poses simple but revealing questions—Which Indian city speaks the most languages? Where will the next 100 babies be born? Why do only 3% of adults pay income tax?—and answers them through clean, accessible visuals.

Spanning more than seven decades after Independence, the book captures India’s contradictions and complexities: extraordinary diversity, uneven development and surprising social patterns that often defy popular assumptions. From languages and employment to population density and governance, 100 Ways to See India presents facts behind the headlines in a format that is engaging and easy to grasp. The result is a compelling snapshot of where India stands today—and what emerging trends suggest about the road ahead.
