Brief Backgrounder

Name: Sanjay Yadav/Sanjay Singh Yadav

Affiliation: University of Cambridge as Life Member of Clare 

My books are: 

Portraits of India is an anthology of my verses on various facets of India. It is rare for a collection of poetry to sell more than a hundred or so copies. However, this collection is an incredible cyberspace 'bestseller' inasmuch as it has had over several thousand readers.

My books of prose are The Environmental Crisis of Delhi and The Invasion of Delhi. These two books describe the suffering of the people of the Delhi basin in history and their condition in contemporary India. The issue of pollution in Delhi is approached in the context of demographic overload.  The inordinately large population size of the city is held responsible for the crisis of pollution. The books may be described as social service through the pen.

Academic papers on international affairs published in Australia, Britain, Canada, Germany, India, Japan and the USA.
