The Foundation is ecumenical as regards subject and genre.
Books could be about politics, economics, or culture, and may take the form of a memoir, a work of reportage, or a thickly footnoted academic study. Applicants should send a CV, a book proposal and a writing sample of at least 5,000 words to The Managing Trustee, The New India Foundation, 22 A Brunton Road, Bangalore 560025, by July 31, 2011.
