I learned this the hard way too. Sometimes one takes great care in getting the terms of a book contract fair, only to have the whole effort undermined when the publisher licenses the rights to someone else.
However, the folks at Motilal are well-meaning and I cannot imagine that they would not cooperate with putting things right if you contact them directly.
Best of luck!
