Charupath

Charupath publishes books that cross languages and centuries: Bengali translations of Bharatendu Harishchandra's plays and of the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, a memoir from a marginalised community of South India, a Pali-to-Hindi Theri Apadan, and writing about Kashi — its temples, ghats and people — including a puja annual and a book of poems by a Varanasi poet.

Books

Muktochinta Publication

Muktochinta Publication describes itself as a non-commercial rationalist publishing venture. Its books bring science and reason to everyday beliefs: astrology examined in the light of science, a critical look at alternative medicine, Darwin and evolution, field investigations of "supernatural" claims for adults and for young readers, the politics of Mother Teresa's public image, and plain facts about snakes.
