SATRAPS, COALITIONS AND POWER GAMES
0₹595.00About the Book
Who halted the BJP’s victorious march and yet paved the way for Narendra Modi’s third term? Not the Congress, but India’s ambitious regional parties. Defying the might of the BJP’s political aandhi, these powerful satraps and dynastic heirs have reimagined India’s electoral landscape. From Akhilesh Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav to Udhayanidhi Stalin and Nara Lokesh, a new generation of regional leaders has risen—blending local clout with national ambition. Are they simply power brokers, or do they represent authentic, local aspirations in a nation as diverse as India? Should the country gravitate towards a two-party system, or does its vast cultural diversity demand a multiparty system? In the absence of constitutional limits, regional parties negotiate hard, especially in coalition politics—and national parties are often willing partners in this high-stakes game. In this compelling political narrative, veteran journalist Sunita Aron chronicles the rise, reinvention, and resilience of India’s regional parties and their quirky family saga and electoral manoeuvres. Satraps, Coalitions and Power Games reveals how these regional players continue to script the story of India’s political future.

SECULAR INDIA POLITICS OF MINORITYISM
0₹399.00About The Book
When appeasement becomes the part of social philosophy of the state, it changes not only the dynamics of politics but also the paradigm of policies and expectations of the people. Identity politics takes centre stage and the secular space is challenged by communal demands and discourses. Appeasement then turns into a double-edged sword. The section of the population that is treated as more equal than others is never quite satisfied with the magnitude of doles coming its way, and the section that is treated as merely equal accuses the state of stepmotherly treatment. In the process, the nation stands divided forever.
Secular India…is a compilation of essays by country’s prominent citizens that go beyond boundaries of religion and caste.
Contributors: Asha Das, Subramanian Swamy, Jagdamba Mall, Meenakshi Lekhi, Devang Nanavati, Arif Mohammed Khan, C Issac, Pravin Togadia, S G Godbole, Bal Apte, Hari S Kartha, T N Razdan, Vinod K Shukla

SECURITY OF BANK & CASH IN TRANSIT
0₹850.00About the Book
We all grew up reading of bank heists by masked bandits, whom solitary security guards with cartridge belts were supposed to counter. Two developments have changed the scene. Computerisation of banking, in the first place, has spawned a whole new range of crimes, from ATM break-ins to online pishing. Secondly, the growth of cash-in-transit banking business has put 5,000-plus, currency carrying banks on the road round the clock. These are exposed to raids from extremists as well as upcoming criminals looking for new avenues.
This compilation of papers by banking security experts alerts common account-holders as well as administrators to the new threats and challenges and suggests methods of ensuring greater safety for our savings.
