Book Type:
- Description: Awadheshwari, released in 1987, received the Sahitya Akademi Award (the National Academy of Letters, India) in 1988. This well-researched political novel set in Vedic times paints a vivid picture of the social and political ethos of the era. It specifically focuses on the concept of NiYoga, a prevalent practice of legal adultery where an infertile husband permits his wife to conceive with another man. Through various plots and subplots, the novel illustrates the circumstances leading to the practice's decline. It stands out as one of the best creative fictions in Kannada literature.

Book Type:
- Description: Oorabavi and Other Stories is a collection of Kolakaluri Enoch’s short stories on the life in rural India, predominantly the life of Dalits. Life in rural India revolves around the village well and water sharing, caste domination and operation by dominant castes. Enoch tried tackling the problem way back in 1969 through successful resistance and reclamation of water as a right by the marginalized in a village. The volume while successfully defining and giving concrete reality to rooted institutions of caste in India, it also brilliantly recreates suppressed and silenced histories of men and women of various caste occupations- cobbler, scavengers, barbers, washer men, and actors in street plays, beside sensitive portrayal of village youth small time workers in hotels etc. The narrative ranges between exploitation and revenge, hunger and vulnerability, oppression and submission, conscience and need, rebellion and resistance, deprivation and triumph.

Book Type:
- Description: नब्बे के बाद भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था ने सकल घरेलू उत्पाद में वृद्धि के लिहाज़ से अच्छी प्रगति की है। उपनिवेशवादी शासन तले जो देश सदियों तक एक निम्न आय अर्थव्यवस्था के रूप में गतिरोध का शिकार बना रहा और आज़ादी के बाद भी कई दशकों तक बेहद धीमी रफ़्तार से आगे बढ़ा, उसके लिए यह निश्चित ही एक बड़ी उपलब्धि है। लेकिन ऊँची और टिकाऊ वृद्धि दर को हासिल करने में सफलता अन्तत: इसी बात से आँकी जाएगी कि इस आर्थिक वृद्धि का लोगों के जीवन तथा उनकी स्वाधीनताओं पर क्या प्रभाव पड़ा है। भारत आर्थिक वृद्धि दर की सीढ़ियाँ तेज़ी से तो चढ़ता गया है लेकिन जीवन-स्तर के सामाजिक संकेतकों के पैमाने पर वह पिछड़ गया है—यहाँ तक कि उन देशों के मुक़ाबले भी जिनसे वह आर्थिक वृद्धि के मामले में आगे बढ़ा है। दुनिया में आर्थिक वृद्धि के इतिहास में ऐसे कुछ ही उदाहरण मिलते हैं कि कोई देश इतने लम्बे समय तक तेज़ आर्थिक वृद्धि करता रहा हो और मानव विकास के मामले में उसकी उपलब्धियाँ इतनी सीमित रही हों। इसे देखते हुए भारत में आर्थिक वृद्धि और सामाजिक प्रगति के बीच जो सम्बन्ध है, उसका गहरा विश्लेषण लम्बे अरसे से अपेक्षित है। यह पुस्तक बताती है कि इन पारस्परिक सम्बन्धों के बारे में समझदारी का प्रभावी उपयोग किस तरह किया जा सकता है। जीवन-स्तर में सुधार तथा उनकी बेहतरी की दिशा में प्रगति और अन्तत: आर्थिक वृद्धि भी इसी पर निर्भर है।

"मुझे लगता है कि मनुष्य के पास एक आस्था होनी चाहिए, या और कुछ नहीं तो उसे कोई विश्वास और आस्था खोज लेनी चाहिए, वर्ना उसकी जिंदगी सूनी और खोखली हो जाएगी।...आदमी को मालूम तो होना चाहिए कि उसकी जिंदगी का अर्थ क्या है..." "प्यारी बहनों, हमारे जीवन का अन्त यहीं नहीं हो जाएगा। हम लोग जीवित रहेंगी, यह संगीत कैसा आनन्ददायक, कैसा सुखद है कि मन होता है, थोड़ी देर और चलता रहे, ताकि हम जान लें कि हम किसलिए ज़िन्दा हैं, हमें पता चल जाए कि हम दु:ख क्यों भोग रही हैं।" "काश, जो कुछ हमने जिया है, वह सिर्फ़ ज़िन्दगी का रफ़-ड्राफ़्ट होता और इसे फ़ेयर करने का एक अवसर हमें और मिलता।" चेख़व की रचनाओं की आत्मीयता, करुणा और ख़ास क़िस्म की निराश उदासी (लगभग आत्मदया जैसी) मुझे बहुत छूती है। मैं उसके प्रभाव से लगभग मोहाच्छन्न था। उसी श्रद्धा से मैंने इन नाटकों को हाथ लगाया था। रूसी भाषा नहीं जनता था, मगर अधिक से अधिक ईमानदारी से उसके नाटकों की मौलिक शक्ति तक पहुँचाना चाहता था। इसलिए तीन अंग्रेज़ी अनुवादों को सामने रखकर एक-एक वाक्य पढ़ता और मूल को पकड़ने कि कोशिश करता। आधार बनाया मॉस्को के अनुवाद को। बाद में सुना, अनुवादों को पाठकों ने पसन्द किया, अनेक रंग-संस्थानों और रेडियो इत्यादि ने इन्हें अपनाया, पाठ्यक्रम में भी उन्हें लिया गया। —राजेन्द्र यादव
