THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY OF THE MAN WHO BUILT MODERN INDIA.

Who was the man behind the Krishnarajasagara dam, the Mysore Sandal Soap industry, and the visionary blueprints for India’s economic planning? Engineering a Nation is a masterful, award-winning biography of Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya (1861–1962), arguably the most iconic engineer in Indian history.

Author Aparajith Ramnath weaves a meticulous narrative that goes far beyond the title of "engineer." He reveals Visvesvaraya as a brilliant public administrator, a constitutional analyst, and a forward-thinking development strategist. From the sugarcane farmers of Karnataka and Maharashtra to the residents of our very own Bengaluru, Visvesvaraya’s fingerprints remain all around us. By examining his professional life, his intellectual circles, and his unwavering belief in the power of science to solve societal problems, Ramnath offers a balanced, captivating portrait of a national icon.

As we continue to debate the role of technology in our national discourse, Visvesvaraya’s life provides an essential map of where we came from and the promise of what we can become. This is not just the story of one man; it is the story of the emergence of the Indian nation itself.

Why this book is a must-have:

  • Award-Winning Research: Winner of the prestigious 2025 Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay NIF Book Prize.

  • Local Significance: Essential reading for every Bangalorean and resident of Karnataka to understand the visionary who helped shape our landscape.
