Tulika Books

Tulika Books is an independent publisher based in Delhi, India, specializing in non-fiction, academic books in the social sciences and humanities. Established more than 10 years ago, it has published nearly 65 titles to date, and has been able to attract reputed scholars from various disciplines — such as history, economics, development studies, literary theory, cultural studies, art, sociology and politics — as its authors.

Tulika Books is an active and organizing partner of the Independent Publishers’ Group (IPG), a collective of 10 Delhi-based independent publishers formed in March 2005; and of the Independent Publishers’ Distribution Alternatives (IPD Alternatives), a partnership of 8 independent Indian publishers set up in late 2005, which handles the distribution of titles published by nearly 20 small/independent publishers (including those of the 8 partners).
