Soft cover. Condition: New. A PAGE-TURNER ON HOW THE CONGRESS LOST ITS PRIZED BASTION TO SMRITI IRANI IN 2019 Amethi has long been one of India s most high-profile constituencies. Billed as karmabhoomi of the Nehru Gandhi family, it has been continually held by the Congress since its inception as a Lok Sabha constituency in 1967, except for half a dozen years in between. Reports in the national media and Congress projections have always shown it as a robust and highly developed area. However, when Smriti Irani stepped into this constituency as the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate for the 2014 elections, the truth behind the Amethi myth became apparent. Irani was struck by the dereliction of the place and its people. Amethi was neglected, backward and depressed about its future. It had become little more than a political tourist destination that politicians, industrialists, middlemen and the media stepped into and dealt with as they please. Tracing Irani s footsteps from her defeat in 2014 to her win in 2019, senior journalist Anant Vijay attempts to understand the reasons behind her success in Amethi, shining a light on both Irani s personality and her political methods. Through the political history of what was once a Congress bastion, this book examines how political parties function in a democracy like ours. Vijay s book is also a keen study of the RSS s working style, its strategies and exemplary execution that backed Smriti Irani s efforts from 2014 to 2019.

Soft cover. Condition: New. A NEW ERA IN CLASSICAL MUSIC UNVEILED BY DR L. SUBRAMANIAM. Dr L. Subramaniam, who s been called arguably the greatest violinist in the history of Indian music , is also one of the most formally inventive musicians of our time. A polymorphous talent, he is not bound by genres or geographies nor fear of the untried and uncharted. It is in this spirit that, as a young student, Dr Subramaniam set about creating a system that would integrate the melodic nature of the Indian raga system with the harmonic structure of Western classical music. What those early years of study tried and tested over the decades led to was the possibility of orchestral compositions for Indian ragas, evoking their mood within the rich sound of symphony orchestras. Raga Harmony unveils Dr Subramaniam s revolutionary thirty-six-scale concept that will allow compositions by Indian composers based on Indian ragas to be performed by some of the most prestigious orchestras across the globe. The use of this system enables the generation of lush harmonies that are not only uncommon and pleasing, but also intricate and intellectually intriguing.

Hardcover. Condition: New. AN ARCHIVE OF THE EFFORTS BY CITIZENS IN INDIA TO RESIST THE TOOLS OF AUTHORITARIANISM BEING DEPLOYED BY THE MODI GOVERNMENT. As the pillars of democracy crumble across the globe, big and small actions of resistance prop up hope and keep alive a way to rebuild. In the past few decades, ordinary folk in India have stood up to repressive state authority over and over again. Their vital acts of hope preserve the collective spirit of resistance and unwavering resilience necessary to continue the fight for democracy. Audacious Hope is a careful, rigorous archive of these struggles, including the protests that united farmers across state borders in 2020 and the national outcry following the controversial CAA legislation. From the myriad ways people came to the aid of their fellow citizens during the pandemic to the testing of free-speech boundaries by cultural activists, this book undertakes the task of documenting resistance in its many forms. Roy challenges the reader with his account of how a proud people are battling to save their beloved democracy. The question is, how can we, through individual and collective action, resist authoritarianism, casteism and majoritarianism? The answer is, of course, through the audacity of hope.

Soft cover. Condition: New. A SEARING ACCOUNT OF 1984, PACKED WITH STORIES AND MEMORIES. 'I want sukh, peace,' said Shanti. She had watched her three sons, one of them an infant, and husband torched alive by marauding mobs. The sixty-five-year-old Sikh woman from a west Delhi slum said that the police had inserted a stick inside her. The distraught man spoke a single sentence but repeated it twice in chaste Punjabi: 'Please give me a turban. I want nothing else.' In the aftermath of Indira Gandhi's assassination in 1984, 2,733 Sikhs were burnt, stabbed, beaten and otherwise hunted to their deaths across Delhi. Many of them were children. Several hundreds were killed elsewhere in the country. Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay uses personal histories to expose the truth of a state-sponsored riot: the thousands of lives that were destroyed, the cruel apathy of subsequent governments, the lack of reparations, the denial of justice. Poignant and raw, Sikhs: The Untold Agony of 1984 lays bare the innards of one of the most shameful episodes of sectarian violence in post-Independence India. About the Author Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay embarked on a career in journalism in the early 1980s and is best known for his reportage and analysis of the rise and growth of Hindu organisations, their politics and agitations. He was among the first journalists who tracked the emergence of the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid conflict from the late 1980s. He has followed, and written about, the political and electoral emergence of the BJP and its allies from that period. He is the author of The Demolition: India at the Crossroads (1994), one of the first books on the Ayodhya discord and the rise of Hindutva. His biography of Narendra Modi, Narendra Modi: The Man, the Times, was published in early 2013, before Modi's campaign to become prime minister took off. It is widely considered the most credible and authoritative account of Modi's rise to power. Mukhopadhyay is also the author of The RSS: Icons of the Indian Right. His most recent book, The Demolition and the Verdict: Ayodhya and the Project to Reconfigure India, was published in 2021. He is currently a regular columnist and contributor to several leading newspapers and web portals, and a well-known commentator and host on Indian television news and video channels.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Broken Promises tells the story of Bihar's plunge into an abyss of crime, corruption and economic ruin during the tumultuous decade of the 1990s, often referred to as the Jungle Raj years. How did a land, once the cradle of civilisation, devolve into a byword for the worst of India as described by The Economist in 2004? Mrityunjay Sharma traces the post-Independence socio-politics of Bihar and the momentous events leading up to the 90s: the unravelling of long-standing Congress governments, the rise of OBC assertion with Lohiaite politics, the JP movement that put the spotlight on young leaders like Lalu Yadav and Nitish Kumar, Karpoori Thakur's reservation formula, the rise of Naxal movements and the entry of socialist governments. 10 March 1990, the day Lalu took oath, was one of hope for millions in the state battered by poverty, caste atrocities and inequality. The political triumph of Lalu, a vociferous champion of the marginalised, as a reaction to centuries of oppression and the promise of upliftment and inclusion, ironically, worsened the socio-economic disparities in the state, accompanied by grave misgovernance, flourishing crime syndicates and caste armies, and the centre-staging of formidable bahubalis in politics. Deeply engaging and richly insightful, Mrityunjay Sharma s Broken Promises is not just a book about Bihar for Biharis. It is an eye-opening account of a large and socially complex participant in India's democracy, any shift within which sends ripples across national politics.

Soft cover. Condition: New. A COMPREHENSIVE PROFILING OF ALL THE MAJOR LEADERS OF THE INDIAN RIGHT-WING, NOW THE SINGLE BIGGEST FACTOR IN INDIAN POLITICS. A fog of mystery surrounds the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS the largest cadre-based organisation in the world. Veteran journalist and author of the bestseller Narendra Modi: The Man, the Times, Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay lays bare its fascinating, unique and perhaps startling world. He also chronicles the personal and political journeys of the most important men (and a woman) of the Hindu right wing, digging up little-known but revealing facts about them. From Hegdewar, the founder of the RSS and its first sarsanghchalak, Savarkar, Golwalkar, Balasaheb Deoras, Syama Prasad Mukherjee and Deendayal Upadhyaya to Vijaya Raje Scindia, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Lal Krishna Advani, Ashok Singhal and Bal Thackeray, all the major leaders of the political right wing are reckoned with in this book. Through individual stories of the organisation s tallest leaders, a bigger picture emerges: in spite of a three-time ban on the RSS in a multicultural and secular India and despite the RSS s insistence that it has no truck with electoral politics the group is, and will continue to be, the hand that rocks the BJP s cradle.

Hardcover. Condition: New. A REVOLUTIONARY ALTERNATIVE TO THE MISLEADING SPIRITUALISED IMAGE OF INDIA THROUGH ANTI-CASTE POLITICAL THOUGHT In their brave and challenging book, grounded in political science and the Continental philosophical tradition, Divya Dwivedi and Shaj Mohan engage with the resurgence of upper-caste supremacism in India and its justification via the legacy of 'the Aryan doctrine' and Hindu nationalism. Their essays were written from 2016 to 2023, when India's democratic institutions were subverted and caste-based oppression overflowed into public spacekilling and menacing minorities, women, students, the media and lower castes of all religions. This book chronicles the ascending oppession of democracy in India, a veritable biography of authoritarianism. Dwivedi and Mohan reject simplistic accounts of India's politics as the opposition between 'Hindu majoritarian nationalism' and 'the religious minorities', or between 'Hindu fundamentalism' and 'religious pluralism'. They propose instead a genuinely transformative account of Indian politics, grounded in political philosophy and in the lower-caste majority position. What does revolution mean where the constitutional promise of equality is betrayed daily by the millennia-old inequality of caste? What does politics mean where religion serves as the justification for descent-based enslavement and indignity? Revolution has only one sense in India, the annihilation of caste; and 'citizen' has only one sense, the people of the state shedding caste and racism.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - About the BookA CANDID ACCOUNT OF RAJIV GANDHI'S PRIME MINISTERIAL YEARS.On 21 May 1991, Wajahat Habibullah, then the commissioner of Kashmir (constituting the valley and the two districts of Ladakh), had returned home after inspecting a mysterious fire at Dalgate, Srinagar. Much to his dismay, there had been another fire, one that left him devastated: an RDX explosion in the south Indian town of Sriperumbudur had taken the life of India's sixth prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi.My Years with Rajiv is an endearing account of a friendship that turned into an administrative partnership, one that gave Habibullah an acute insight into Rajiv Gandhi's political life. But equally, in this lucid memoir, recounting his years in the Indian Administrative Service, particularly at the Prime Minister's Office, he walks us through the last three decades of the twentieth century-in many ways, the most formative years of Indian history.Habibullah also seeks to demystify the workings of the Indian government and bureaucracy: the modernisation of the Nehruvian nation, the turbulence of the Khalistan years in Punjab, the introduction of grassroots policies aimed at poverty alleviation in rural India, the beginning of telecommunications services, the Shah Bano case, the opening of the locks at Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi, Indian interventions in Sri Lanka, and much else. In this, the author, a natural raconteur, is more than successful, telling the tale in his inimitably candid and self-effacing manner.About the AuthorWajahat Habibullah (born 30 September 1945) is a former chairperson of the National Commission for Minorities. Prior to this, he was the first Chief Information Commissioner of India. He was an officer of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) of the J&K cadre from 1968 until his retirement in September 2005, having served in India and the US.
