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.

Ever since 9/11, the word ‘security’ has increasingly become a part of popular parlance and discourse all over the world. Security can now be considered a vital segment in every sphere of the organised activity administration, industry, banking, international travel, you name it. Has a single decade, however, sufficed for countries and companies to master what deserves to be described as the art and science of security?
This volume addresses the question and seeks to find an answer of crucial relevance to India’s quest for rapid economic growth. It brings together the viewpoints of experienced experts on security in various fields. They deal with diverse threats to security, ranging from the traditional kinds to information thefts. While doing so, they illustrate the increasing importance of security training at all levels, involving the use of updated techniques and technology. The compilation of papers and presentations has much to offer for both — the lay reader and the specialist.
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.
From the cosmic terror of MS. Found in a Bottle and the bizarre aerial voyage of Hans Pfaall, to the chilling scientific limbo of M. Valdemar and the claustrophobic dread of The Premature Burial, Edgar Allan Poe probes the fragile boundary between life and death. In Ligeia, Morella, and Berenice, love becomes a fixation and identity refuses to die, while Eleonora offers a rare, dreamlike meditation on memory and loss. Interwoven with these tales are some of Poe’s most haunting poems. Annabel Lee and For Annie sing of love that survives death, suspended between grief and a strange sense of serenity. A Dream and Fairy-Land drift through fragile, otherworldly beauty, while The Haunted Palace transforms the mind itself into a crumbling Gothic ruin. This anthology brings together madness, death, obsession, and the perilous brilliance of the human mind. In these pages, Edgar Allan Poe’s most haunting and visionary tales weave a spellbinding descent into the depths of Gothic imagination.
The book celebrates the diversity and range of women’s strength. It is an exciting anthology which showcases 14 crisp and wonderful stories about varied women whom the author met during his childhood, college days and his tenure in the IB.
The stories paint life as it is rather than trying to be didactic, though there is a strong element of heroism in most of them. From portraying the undying love of his friends from college days, to the harrowing account of a riot victim, a famous starlet’s fight for her real identity, the author has woven a beautiful tapestry which throws abundant light on the foundation of all creation – Shakti.
जब ललिता शास्त्री ने अपने पति का पार्थिव शरीर देखा, तो ऐसा नहीं लगा कि वो कुछ घंटे पहले ही स्वर्ग सिधारे थे। उनका चेहरा सूजा हुआ था और नीला पढ़ गया था। शरीर बुरी तरह फूल गया था। पेट और गर्दन पर कटने के निशान थे। कपडे और चद्दर खून से सने हुए थे, लेकिन परिजनों के शक जताते ही किसी ने अचानक से आकर शास्त्री जी के चेहरे पर चन्दन का पीला लेप लगा दिया। यह सब करने के बाद भी शास्त्री जी की मृत्यु से जुड़े संदेहों को छुपाया नहीं जा सका। क्या उनकी मृत्यु प्राकृतिक थी या उन्हें जहर दिया गया था? आने वाले वक्त में अमेरिकी और सोवियत रूसी खुफिया विभाग के साथ कुछ भारतीय भी सवालों के घेरे में आए।
