Every story starts with a spark. Maybe it’s a childhood memory. Maybe a dream. Or a moment of courage that defines a lifetime.
India is a land of more than a billion stories, and now it’s your turn to tell yours.
This Independence Day, the Indian Book of Records invites you to be part of a never-before literary movement, one that celebrates the diversity, soul, and dreams of India, all stitched together into a monumental anthology of short stories by people from every walk of life.
