In 1987, Dr Digpal Dharkar, freshly trained at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, dreamt of setting up a world-class institution for head and neck oncology that offered the latest cancer treatment, particularly to the indigent in India, where cancer is the second - and fourth-highest killer of adults across urban and rural areas.With a majority of people in rural areas facing economic difficulties only a few were able to afford cancer treatment and often diagnosis was left until it was too late, leading to unnecessary fatalities. With grave hurdles to overcome and the odds stacked against him, Dr Dharkar summoned his deep resolve – and the commitment of like-minded medical professionals – to establish a charitable trust, the Indore Cancer Foundation (ICF), which would help make a difference in head and neck cancer care in India. Inspiring and deeply moving, The Power of Hope is the compelling tale of Dr Dharkar's journey into the depths of human empathy and a testimony to just how much we can achieve if only we hold on to hope.

Anshu Dogra has written articles and books that are an eclectic collection on history, gender studies, and biographies, among them Music of the Mirs, Globalisation and Women's Work: A Resource Guide, 'Ensuring Effective Knowledge Dissemination: Women, Work and Health', and 'Costumes of the People of India: Continuity and Influences in India's Interaction with China, Central and West Asia'. Her book, Controversially Yours, written with Shoaib Akhtar has been a runaway success. Having for over nearly three decades, founded, developed, and managed the research and editing wing of Manana, activity arm of Devahuti Damodar Svaraj Trust, which supports projects related to the history and philosophy of the Indian subcontinent; education and scholarships for children who attend school and in tertiary education; and music, arts, and literature, Anshu has recently retired as its Executive Director. In her years at the organization, she has promoted and led research in related projects and has also produced a documentary on the music of the Mirs, the last of the families of this ethnic group who are still following the traditions of their ancestors through many generations, singing Sufi Kalam.
