I browsed through some HR books in the search and came across Mastermind by Siddhart Basu and some books by Chetan Bhagat. I think a special post must be created for books by Indian authors. A new book has come in the market:-
The greatest secret of success-Your passion quotient by Virender Kapoor- This book addresses the "square pegs in round holes" issue in a variety of ways. It would be of interest for the rest of you to know that Mr. Kapoor is on the HR committee of CII. He is a postgraduate from IIT Bombay and a Director of a premier business school in India.
The other books that I know by Indian authors are
Passion by Pramod and Vijay Batra
Passion to win- Abad Ahmed and DP Chopra on the basis of research by the All India Management Association.
Former Billiards champion Geet Sethi has written a sweet and simple book called 'Success v/s Joy'. It may not be a quintessential HR book but it has some very good HR lessons. In fact, the basic theme of the book is to avoid a square peg in a round hole.It has a forward by Mr Amitabh Bachchan.
A double life - which is an autobiography by former Lintas chairman Alyque Padamsee is a very good HR book in the sense that it shows how a man straddles two careers throughout his life- one career(Advertisement) funding the other(passion- theatre)
I don't know whether Mr. Chetan Bhagat is an HR professional but I am just keen to know whether any Indian HR professional has written similar books

There is a new book called Be Inspired; Make an informed Career decision by Amber Ahuja who apart from being an independent researcher and analyst and works as Advisor- South Asia at the University of New South Wales.
It is quite a good, comprehensive general guide on career planning with both internal(Values, Goals,Motivation,Aptitude, Personality, Attitude, Skills, Other factors) and External markets( International, National, Industry, Company, Job Roles, Salary stc). In my view, this is a must read for those who go around tom tomming the importance of attitude and how attitude alone matters and wins which is largely a one-sided view
It does a pretty good job of cautioning students about how to make career choices( avoiding squaire pegs in round holes is the primary role of HR) and has N.R. Narayana Murthy(Infosys), Vishwanathan Anand, Sunil Gavaskar, Ritu Beri , Shankar Mahadevan among others as examples.

Debashis Chatterjee is currently Professor of Organization behavor at IIM, Lucknow. He has written a book called "Break free;Discover your Leadership Signature" in which he has covered Leadership, Talent Management, Change Management etc very well both from Management and spiritual perspectives. It is always a pleasure to read books which talk about innate human potential rather than harping about attitude all the time.
I had read another book by him "Light the fire in your heart" which was also a management and leadership book and liked it immensly.
For those interested this is the link to all this books:-
