Book publishing in India refers to the process of book creation within India, a growing field in recent years, which makes the country the sixth-largest book publishing nation in the world.
While there is optimism about the growth of Indian publishing, the sector is also afflicted by a lack of accurate figures about books published, knowledge shared and revenues earned.
It is further divided between the local and multinational players, the English language and the local languages publishers.
Self-publishing and immense free content, which is an offshoot of the digital revolution in print, further challenge the traditional ways of printing.
The major players in Academic Publishing are Prentice Hall of India, Wiley India, Taylor and Francis India, New Age, Viva Books, TMH, Jaico and Manakin Press.
Prediction that causes itself to become true
A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that comes true at least in part as a result of a person's belief or expectation that said prediction would come true.
Self-fulfilling prophecies are an example of the more general phenomenon of positive feedback loops.
A self-fulfilling prophecy can have either negative or positive outcomes.
Merely applying a label to someone or something can affect the perception of the person/thing and create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Interpersonal communication plays a significant role in establishing these phenomena as well as impacting the labeling process.
