Byline by M.J. Akbar
Byline anthologises M.J. Akbar’s finest writings over the last decade, bringing together essays that reflect the author’s versatility and range. The book is divided into five seamless sections, each with its own identity, woven together by M.J. Akbar’s delectably informal prose.‘Travel’ is the first section in which the author shares his passion for history and the occasional fable, the obscure detail, the glorious and the ludicrous. This is followed by ‘Politics and History’ in which the reader is provided a view of some events and people in the recent past with all the quirks and whims that characterise the great as well as the mundane. The reader then moves on to ‘Sidelines’ (those delightfully off-centre pieces). M.J. Akbar says in an essay in this section: ‘The train of thought has moved. But that is the way with trains. They must travel.’‘Memories’ is the most personal and autobiographical part of the entire selection, mixing regret, nostalgia and deeply felt sorrow for the friends and times gone forever.Byline ends with a short section entitled ‘On a Personal Note’ in which James Bond must live to die another day, The Telegraph has to learn to live beyond the age of twenty and Dev Anand remains young forever.
India that is Bharat by J. Sai Deepak
India, That Is Bharat, the first book of a comprehensive trilogy, explores the influence of European 'colonial consciousness' (or 'coloniality'), in particular its religious and racial roots, on Bharat as the successor state to the Indic civilisation and the origins of the Indian Constitution. It lays the foundation for its sequels by covering the period between the Age of Discovery, marked by Christopher Columbus' expedition in 1492, and the reshaping of Bharat through a British-made constitution-the Government of India Act of 1919. This includes international developments leading to the founding of the League of Nations by Western powers that tangibly impacted this journey.Further, this work also traces the origins of seemingly universal constructs such as 'toleration', 'secularism' and 'humanism' to Christian political theology. Their subsequent role in subverting the indigenous Indic consciousness through a secularised and universalised Reformation, that is, constitutionalism, is examined. It also puts forth the concept of Middle Eastern coloniality, which preceded its European variant and allies with it in the context of Bharat to advance their shared antipathy towards the Indic worldview. In order to liberate Bharat's distinctive indigeneity, 'decoloniality' is presented as a civilisational imperative in the spheres of nature, religion, culture, history, education, language and, crucially, in the realm of constitutionalism.
romantic novel
He could have had everything. If only he had said, 'Thank You'. In September, the month where IIT-ians do distinctly non-IITian things, Samar was having the time of his life. With Rock shows, JAM sessions, debates and politics, his life resembled a colourful graffiti. Adding chaos to this randomness were his three partners-in-crime, Pranav, Skimpy and Jiya. Together they made sure that life was impossibly wild and barely legal. Things hit a crescendo when Samar found himself as the frontrunner in the race for the head of the student body at IIT. And that is when the tide began to turn, in a way Samar could have never imagined. A causal ambition threatened to come true, and threw at Samar dilemmas that would stump any IITian with a pair of glasses. Dilemmas which required skills not taught in any classroom, including the secret art of disaster management.
Foreign policy of India
This authoritative work on India's foreign policy rests on the fundamental values of international relations that India has cherished. Efforts have been made to analyze these values and to evaluate to what extent these have been implemented and to what extent these have been effective. This edition of the book has been updated to include new issues that have emerged and have come to dominate India's foreign policy concerns. India's stance on Climate Change has undergone an evolution in the last two decades which is important to understand. Similarly, India's relation with Israel which was tepid and limited till 1992 has undergone a radical transformation ever since. India has forged a close and important partnership with Israel which will be critical going forward for it, especially in the defence sector. India and Israel have also come to share a sense of solidarity, being common victims of terrorism as was highlighted by the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks of 2008. Thus, it is important to take stock of India's growing relationship with Israel.Furthermore, the rise of China is the biggest geopolitical challenge India faces in this century. This edition discusses how India is seeking to formulate a foreign policy in accordance with its emergence as a major international power. It also discusses India's relations with its neighbours in South Asia.Key Features :Three new chapters, viz.:India and the Politics of Climate ChangeIndia and Israel Relations: Trends and ProspectsIndia's Foreign Policy in the 21st CenturyTable of Content :1.

Mamata Banerjee - As I have known her
*Mamata Banerjee as I Have Known Her* by Dipak Kumar Ghosh provides an in-depth, personal, and political account of one of Indias most prominent and controversial political leadersMamata Banerjee. Written by Ghosh, a former bureaucrat and close associate of Banerjee, the book reveals a first-hand perspective of Mamata Banerjee's rise in politics, her unique personality, leadership style, and the trajectory of her political career.Mamata Banerjee, the leader of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) and the current Chief Minister of West Bengal, is a figure that has significantly shaped the political landscape in the state and across India. Known for her fierce spirit, grassroots connection, and relentless opposition to the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Banerjee's journey from a modest background to a formidable political force has fascinated both admirers and critics.Dipak Kumar Ghoshs book provides readers with a rare insight into Banerjee's life, character, and leadership. Having worked closely with her during crucial periods of her political life, Ghosh had access to the inner workings of the Trinamool Congress, and his observations offer a blend of admiration and criticism.Early Life and Political BeginningsThe book traces Banerjee's early years in politics, focusing on her humble beginnings. Born into a middle-class family in Kolkata, Banerjee was always known for her fiery and independent spirit. Her early education and student activism sowed the seeds of her political journey, where she quickly gained a reputation for her fearlessness. Ghosh recalls how, from the outset, Banerjee had a remarkable ability to connect with the common people, particularly the working class and rural populations of West Bengal.In the late 1970s, Banerjee entered the political scene as a member of the Indian National Congress (INC). Ghosh provides detailed anecdotes of her time within the party, highlighting how her straightforward and bold nature often put her at odds with senior leaders. Yet, her resilience and energy helped her rise through the ranks, eventually securing her a place in the Lok Sabha at a very young age.One of the most significant phases in Banerjees political career, as described in the book, was her relentless battle against the Left Front government in West Bengal, which had held power for over three decades. The Left, particularly the CPI(M), had established a strong political machinery in West Bengal, and challenging their dominance seemed like an impossible task. Yet, Banerjee emerged as a fierce opponent.Ghosh offers a detailed account of the political climate of West Bengal during this time. He writes about the CPMs stronghold over the rural and urban political apparatus and how Banerjees approach was different from her contemporaries. She positioned herself as the voice of the oppressed, often taking to the streets in protest and building her political identity as a leader who fought for the common people, particularly farmers and marginalized communities.Her aggressive political campaigns against land acquisition policies, most notably in Singur and Nandigram, are highlighted in the book as defining moments in her career. According to Ghosh, these campaigns not only brought Banerjee widespread attention but also showcased her ability to harness public sentiment and transform it into political capital. Through her charismatic leadership and strategic moves, she was able to weaken the Lefts stronghold and pave the way for the eventual downfall of the Left Front government in 2011.Mamata Banerjees decision to break away from the Congress Party and form the All India Trinamool Congress in 1998 was a turning point in her career, and Ghosh delves into the circumstances surrounding this decision. The book details the disillusionment Banerjee felt with the Congress leadership and her growing frustration with the partys inability to effectively challenge the Left in West Bengal.

Peace , love and liberty
Peace, Love, & Liberty, a provocative new book of essays edited by Dr. Tom G. Palmer on the topics of peace and war published September 15, 2014.War is not inevitable. But peace cannot be achieved by wishful thinking alone. This book presents the evidence regarding what fosters peace, and what disturbs it with conflict. The data demonstrate that the world can continue to grow more peaceful if we limit government and foster open trade, the rule of law, and equal rights. It takes an unflinching look at the ideologies of conflict on the hard Left and hard Right -- and presents an alternative that can be the basis of a new, smart, evidence-based Peace Movement. Essays include:The Decline of War and Conceptions of Human Nature (Steven Pinker, Professor, Harvard University)The Free Trade Peace (Erik Gartzke, Associate Professor, University of California, San Diego and professor, University of Essex)The American Enlightenment’s Wariness of War (Robert M.S. McDonald, Associate Professor, United States Military Academy)The Militarization of Policing (Radley Balko, journalist, Washington Post and investigative reporter, Huffington Post)The Art of War (Sarah Skwire, author and award winning poet).
Moder history for civil services
The SAGE Series in Modern Indian History consists of well-researched volumes with a wider scope and is intended to bring together the growing volume of historical studies that share a broad common historiographic focus. The approach that the authors have tried to evolve looks sympathetically, though critically, at the Indian national liberation struggle and other popular movements such as those of labour, peasants, lower castes, tribal peoples and women. The series also looks at colonialism as a structure and a system, and analyzes changes in economy, society and culture in the colonial context as also in the context of independent India. It focuses on communalism and casteism as major features of modern Indian development. The volumes in the series will tend to reflect this approach as also its changing and developing features. At the broadest plane this approach is committed to the Enlightenment values of rationalism, humanism, democracy and secularism. This set includes: Volume 1: Independence and Partition: The Erosion of Colonial Power in India by Sucheta Mahajan Volume 2: A Narrative of Communal Politics: Uttar Pradesh, 1937–39 by Salil Misra Volume 3: Imperialism, Nationalism and the Making of the Indian Capitalist Class, 1920–1947 by Aditya Mukherjee Volume 4: From Movement to Government: The Congress in the United Provinces, 1937–42 by Visalakshi Menon Volume 5: Peasants in India’s Non-Violent Revolution: Practice and Theory by Mridula Mukherjee Volume 6: Communalism in Bengal: From Famine to Noakhali, 1943–47 by Rakesh Batabyal Volume 7: Political Mobilization and Identity in Western India, 1934–47 by Shri Krishan Volume 8: The Garrison State: Military, Government and Society in Colonial Punjab, 1849–1947 by Tan Tai Yong Volume 9: Colonializing Agriculture: The Myth of Punjab Exceptionalism by Mridula Mukherjee Volume 10: Region, Nation, “Heartland”: Uttar Pradesh in India’s Body-Politic by Gyanesh Kudaisya Volume 11: National Movement and Politics in Orissa, 1920–29 by Pritish Acharya Volume 12: Commun
