Books That Need to Be Written

This is inspired by a book review of a book titled "Let's Be Less Stupid" that I chanced upon somewhere. There are lots of books that should be written, and I am not sure they have been. So here's a call to writers if they are inspired by the suggestions-

  1. Colonial Powers Say Sorry for Terrorising Half the World
  2. Tolerance? What is That? When was it Ever There?
  3. A Guide to Ethnic Riots, Worldwide. 2015th edition
  4. Awards-A Who's Who and Why's That and What's What
  5. If Russia does it, It's Wrong..
  6. Bihar - A State Gone Wrong After Nalanda
  7. Maharashtra, ditto after the Cows came Home
  8. Telangana, ditto, after KCR/NTR/ANR/IT Boom
  9.  Bangalore, a history-from Narayanamurthy to Sikka (film rights titled Khotey Sikkey)
  10. IIM A, B, C, ..X, Y, Z. Particularly, Y?
  11. All the Answers to Malala's Question- If you can spend on Guns, why not on Books?
