The Political Future of IndiaAuthored by Lala Lajpat Rai in 1919 during his time in the United States, this book presents a strong case for India’s right to self-government. He critiques British rule and outlines his vision for India’s political path forward.

Guide to LondonWritten by Mahatma Gandhi during his student years, this was one of his earliest publications. It was a practical guide intended to help other Indian students navigate vegetarianism, lifestyle, and culture shock upon arriving in London.
