Saving Immigrant's Daughter (2009)
Roshan Lal Sharma
A real-life story based on the 1000 letters the Indian immigrant Abnashi Ram left to his daughter Raj upon his death. It is about how he became involved with the freedom movement in India, how his elders tried to change his future by marrying him forcibly to a 15-year old girl, how he ran away to America and how he became a rich merchant in Hollywood. Since the draconian immigration laws against the Indians prevented him to bring his family to America, he was always lonely. To stay sane, he cultivated friendships and wrote heart-rending letters. But loneliness never left him.
When WWII started, Ram lost all contact with his family especially his first-born daughter. Suddenly, he feared of her being sacrificed in the name of either honor killing or early marriage. For over four years he tried to contact his family but did not have any luck. In the meantime, to create a legacy for his daughter, he organized his fellow immigrants for a successful struggle to convince Great Britain to free India. In 1947, his daughter became stranded in the newly formed Pakistan after partition. His global network of friends came to rescue her from the ensuing mass killings in Punjab. He made a special trip in 1949 to bring his daughter to the United States on a student visa. When the U. S. immigration laws were changed in 1967, his entire family was finally united in America.

Roshan Lal Sharma, Paulo J. T. de Sousa
and
Ashok. D. Ingle'
It was the first attempt to classify the networks by their architecture i.e. geographical footprint, access method, network topology, transmission and multiplexing techniques, and network management and control methodology.
The book also describes models of well-known network systems, proven techniques for analysis and all the steps required for the design of large network systems.
Network Topology Optimization (1990)
Roshan Lal Sharma
It develops a new approach to network optimization over a set of viable network topologies through the use of user-friendly computer tools and fast iterations.
Each network system application requires a unique subset of topologies for different traffic intensities and these must be optimized in a rapid fashion to be useful.
Network Design Using EcoNets (1997)
Roshan Lal Sharma
It employs the network topology optimization approach using the user-friendly EcoNets software package that runs on any desktop computer and allows very fast iterations to obtain an economical solutions to any enterprise network for voice, data and integrated voice/data application.
It provides comprehensive, hands-on guide to EcoNets, a versatile software development tool for all types of networks for voice, data, integrated voice/data and VoIP applications.
