We welcome the Supreme Court’s verdict on the stray dog policy. The court modified its earlier order that required authorities in Delhi and surrounding areas to move all stray dogs into shelters. This decision reflects a balanced and compassionate approach.

A compassionate heart recognizes dignity in every life, human or animal. In this spirit, we at Natraj celebrate through Dogs and Us: Collected Short Stories — India’s first book on dogs written by people from all walks of life—sharing personal stories of their deep connection and bonding with animals.

A few names who have contributed to the book are India’s prominent storyteller Ruskin Bond, comedian and satirist Cyrus Broacha, Bollywood actress Gul Panag, director and producer Meghna Gulzar, politician and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi, singer and mindful speaker Raageshwari Loomba, actress Nafisa Ali, economist Bibek Debroy and many more.

Richly illustrated with photographs, anecdotes, quotes, cartoons, and trivia, the book is a true delight for dog lovers and a heartfelt tribute to the joy and compassion animals bring into our lives.

From Aryabhata to Chandrayaan-3, ISRO has transformed dreams into milestones and placed India among the stars.

We salute our scientists and visionaries who remind us that the sky is not the limit.

On this occasion, Natraj remembers Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the father of India’s space programme, whose vision laid the foundation for ISRO’s remarkable journey.

As part of his Centenary Year celebrations in 2019, Natraj published Vikram Sarabhai: India’s Space Pioneer by Dr. Padmanabh Joshi () and Ms. Divya Arora — an illustrated biography crafted for young readers. Engagingly written and filled with anecdotes, rare photographs, private letters, and postcards, the book brings alive the inspiring story of Dr. Sarabhai’s life and legacy.

We at Natraj Publishers, Dehradun, deeply mourn the passing away of Lord Swaraj Paul, India born business magnate and philanthropist.

From building the Caparo Group into a global giant to establishing charitable foundations in memory of his wife and daughter, the NRI peer and Padma Bhushan awardee combined entrepreneurship with philanthropy.

One of UK’s richest and most influential men, he will always be remembered for his unwavering support for closer ties with India.

A kind hearted man, it was always a delight to meet Lord Swaraj Paul. He very kindly launched our publication ‘My Life My Words: Remembering Mahatma Gandhi’ by Sangeeta Kochhar on the sidelines of the London Book Fair in 2008 at the Nehru Centre in London. The book is published by us in association with the Flag Foundation of India. It carries a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

We will always cherish our long association with Lord Swaraj Paul. Our condolences to his family.

We would have welcomed the hon’ble Supreme Court’s intent to create dog shelters through genuine public–private partnerships. But expecting the dogs to be taken away to imaginary shelters in just eight weeks is an administrative impossibility. Delhi’s last full dog census in 2009 counted 560,000 strays; a 2016 survey in South Delhi alone found 189,000. Since then, there’s been no city-wide update, and current estimates hover around one million.
On the ground, most shelters are little more than cramped, unhygienic holding pens. With civic funds running dry and veterinary staff in short supply, the order demands the impossible—while letting the real culprits, negligent civic bodies, escape scrutiny.

Stray dogs are not outsiders—they are part of our shared community, coexisting with us for centuries. In the rush of urbanisation, their physical and mental well-being must be considered alongside human needs. Yet, too often, they bear the brunt of human cruelty—beaten, poisoned, or maimed, with countless such cases surfacing across the city.

This is about more than public safety — it’s about judicial decision-making that ignores evidence, perpetuates systemic failure, and sidelines proven, science-based solutions. True progress lies in compassion and coexistence, not in hurried, unworkable mandates. The hon’ble Supreme Court has set an example time and again of emplemary understanding for the voiceless beings.The CJI is requested to kindly revisit this order to restore the country’s faith back in the justice system of our country.

On the occasion of India’s 79th Independence Day, we at Natraj reflect on the meaning of freedom — a value that feels even more precious amidst growing uncertainty across the world, marked by wars, conflicts, and the silencing of dissent.

We are proud to share some of our most cherished publications that celebrate the spirit, history, and diversity of India:
Freedom: A Pocket Book on India — An elegant souvenir filled with quotes, thoughts, and ideas, complete with a ribboned bookmark and a miniature metal Indian flag.
My Life, My Words: Remembering Mahatma Gandhi — A timeless black-and-white coffee-table book of Gandhi’s words and reflections by those who met him, paired with archival photographs and a foreword by the Dalai Lama.
India: An Alphabet Ride — A vibrant A-to-Z journey through India’s States, heritage, festivals, and flavours, perfect for readers of all ages.
Perfect for gifting or treasuring, these books make for inspiring companions; today and always.
This Independence Day, may we not only celebrate the freedoms we hold dear but also remember our responsibility to uphold them, for ourselves, for others, and for generations to come.
Happy Independence Day!

When the Mountains Speak, We Must Listen. 
The recent Uttarakhand flash flood has left behind a trail of loss of lives, livelihoods, and landscapes. As a publisher based out of Dehra Dun, specialising in books on the environment and wildlife conservation, we cannot see this as an isolated tragedy.
Our mountains have been warning us through changing weather patterns, retreating glaciers, and increasingly destructive floods. The cost of ignoring these signals is written in both human and ecological suffering.
At Natraj Publishers, we have long believed that books are powerful tools for change. They preserve knowledge, tell untold stories, and inspire action. 
1. Ignoring Reason, Inviting Disaster: Threat to Ganga-
Himalaya Friends of Chipko - A passionate, urgent call to protect our rivers and mountains from the perils of reckless development.

2. Earthquake Hazard and Large Dams in the Himalayas examines how these high-risk dams are not just engineering blunders; they're potential catalysts for disaster in a zone already teetering on the edge.

A critical read for anyone who cares about the Himalayan ecosystem, its people, and our shared future.
These books are not just to be read; they are to be acted upon. 
Let this moment remind us: protecting the Himalayas is not optional. It is essential for the survival of all who depend on them.

The man behind the ban on hunting in India, and the making of the wildlife conservation laws , Billy Arjan Singh was out there in the wild; walking the tiger trails, defending the forests, and writing from the heart.

Sanctuary Magazine’s review of three publications by him is a reminder that the lessons from his fight for the wild are timeless and still roaring.

A tribute to the man who redefined India’s relationship with its wilderness!
