Orphan Paradox
Why do democracies continue to elect ‘orphaned’ outsiders versus ‘patrician’ elites? In The Orphan Paradox, Sharma offers an original meditation on the hidden wounds that shape political leadership. Building on his earlier works, including Barack Obama in Hawai‘i and Indonesia (2012), Sharma fuses psychology, history, and political science to illuminate how leaders transform vulnerability into vision. Through vivid portraits that traverse continents and centuries, he traces how the United States and India — twin experiments in democracy born of colonial rupture — produced leaders who embodied both loss and renewal: Washington, Jefferson, and Madison in America; Gandhi, Nehru, and Ambedkar in India. From these founders emerged patrician families –the Adamses, Kennedys, Bushes, and the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty — whose inheritance of power eventually met the populist insurgencies of figures like Trump and Modi. For psychologists, historians and political scientists alike, The Orphan Paradox provides a new framework on the foundations of democracy, showing how personal loss shapes institutional design and how nations, like individuals, oscillate between trauma and transcendence. The result is a work of scholarship with a moral urgency — a study of how the orphaned souls continue to haunt, and perhaps redeem the democratic experiment.

Madhesi Upsurge and the Contested Idea of Nepal
This book is set against the burning issue of ethnic uprisings in the Madhes region of Nepal and analyses debates on the idea of contemporary Nepal. The limited view of Nepal as a primarily hill nation with Nepali-speaking people ignores the vast ethnic and linguistic diversity of the country. It has particularly rendered stateless the Madhesi community which inhabits the plains bordering India and shares closer cultural affinity and marital ties across the border. Increasing demands for ethnic and territorial autonomy by the Madhesis suggest the need for redefining the idea of Nepal and establishing Madhesi identity as Nepali identity while at the same time addressing the deeply contested idea of regional versus social identity in the region. This book uses narratives from the Madhesi community including from prominent Madhesi analysts and activists, to define their identity as well as their aspirations in a democratic Nepal. It also provides a perspective on the internal dynamics of caste and language of this region and their possible impact on consolidating ethnic identities in Nepal.
