“Excellently chronicled story of Shri H. L. Gupta, a self-made visionary educationist. He was a pioneer in the field of private education in J&K State. This biography highlights the principled approach and missionary zeal with which he nurtured Model Academy into Model Institute of Education and Research, a nationally reputed educational institution for higher education.” General JJ Singh, Former Governor of Arunachal Pradesh and Chief of Army Staff “I have enjoyed the unique privilege of sharing a personal and working relationship with three generations of Guptas, beginning from Sh. H. L. Gupta to Dr Arun K. Gupta and now, Dr Adit Gupta and Dr Ankur Gupta. It is indeed credible how his legacy has been diligently and painstakingly kept alive and enriched over the years. The book not only traces the growth of the education system in the early nineteen hundred, in the private sector, but also serves as a handbook to inspire and guide those who single-mindedly choose to devote themselves to the cause of education”.

A New York Times Notable Book of 2023 Shortlisted for the 2023 Moore Prize The astonishing story of immigrants lured to the United States from India and trapped in forced labor—an "eye-opening" "must-read" told by the visionary labor leader who engineered their escape and set them on a path to citizenship (The New York Times Book Review). ​ In late 2006, Saket Soni, a twenty-eight-year-old Indian-born community organizer, received an anonymous phone call from an Indian migrant worker in Mississippi. He was one of five hundred men trapped in squalid Gulf Coast “man camps,” surrounded by barbed wire, watched by guards, crammed into cold trailers with putrid toilets, forced to eat moldy bread and frozen rice. Recruiters had promised them good jobs and green cards. The men had scraped up $20,000 each for this “opportunity” to rebuild hurricane-wrecked oil rigs, leaving their families in impossible debt. During a series of clandestine meetings, Soni and the workers devised a bold plan. In The Great Escape, Soni traces the workers’ extraordinary escape, their march on foot to Washington, DC, and their twenty-three-day hunger strike to bring attention to their cause. Along the way, ICE agents try to deport the men, company officials work to discredit them, and politicians avert their eyes. But none of this shakes the workers’ determination to win their dignity and keep their promises to their families. Weaving a deeply personal journey with a riveting tale of twenty-first-century forced labor, Soni takes us into the lives of the immigrant workers the United States increasingly relies on to rebuild after climate disasters. The Great Escape is the gripping story of one of the largest human trafficking cases in modern American history—and the workers’ heroic journey for justice.
