Finished Indian CS & IT Academic Reform (Past) Activism book work

Last updated on 2nd Oct. 2020

The ebook work had got done slightly before mid-March 2020 itself (before COVID pandemic lockdown in India).

But the printed book work got interrupted in the last stages (mainly incorporation of ISBN number and some changes in cover pages) by COVID pandemic and associated lockdown.

From sometime in June, I restarted this work. The work proceeded at a slow pace due to various issues including some associated with COVID pandemic (e.g. my insistence on receiving no-contact courier delivery of these books).

Now in September 2020, the printed book work has been completed.

There are 3 printed book versions.

1) Hardback printed & sold by Pothi.com, https://store.pothi.com/book/ravi-s-iyer-indian-computer-science-cs-information-technology-it-academic-reform-past-activis-0/

One small issue remains to be checked and that is that the flipkart.com page for the book (sold by Notion Press seller), https://www.flipkart.com/indian-computer-science-cs-information-technology-it-academic-reform-past-activism-blog-book/p/itm40cec81017a4a, currently shows cover page of an older version of the book. I have been informed that the matter will get resolved in the next two weeks or so.

2nd Oct. 2020: Now the above flipkart.com page shows latest cover page of the book. So the issue is resolved.
