BORN TO FLY
0₹450.00About The Book
Vallabhbhai Patel (1875-1950) left his mark not only on the map of India but also on the minds of her people. He is said to have bequeathed the idea of an integrated India to the nation, and is often called the ‘Iron Man’, with an uncanny foresight and a clear vision of where independent India’s future lay. He was no superman, he was a statesman gifted with the rare quality of astuteness and pertinacity in his approach to problems. He was more than Bismarck in many ways. His decisive approach to the merger of the 565 princely States into the Union of India is a hair-raising story of grit, gumption and guts. It is the story of how a man, believed to be ‘the accurate bowman of Gandhi’s struggle…who knew no retreat’ wooed, cajoled and coerced Princes’ India into becoming a People’s India. Patel was convinced, ‘small States cannot subsist as independent entities without endangering Indian unity’ and this book tells the bold and brazen story of how State by State, from Junagadh to Patna, Travancore to J&K, that is, two-thirds of the land mass was shepherded under Mother India’s wings, by one man’s steadfast commitment to the larger cause, ‘no further division’ of the subcontinent. India is today suffering the consequences of ignoring Patel’s advise on Kashmir and China. Though it covers just five years of Sardar Patel’s life and times, this is a work of historicity that every Indian must read to understand how India came to be the India that Google today shows us.

Brigadier RP Singh & Hitesh Singh
0₹595.00About the Book
How old is Banaras? Possibly, even time may not have an answer to that. Unquestionably, Jerusalem is blessed by divinity, but Banaras, which has been invaded forty times, destroyed twice, and yet has lived on since time immemorial deserves to be called Jerusalem’s sibling in divine status, historical antiquity, and religious significance. From extolling the virtues of Banaras to calling our constitution a compromise document; from love jihad and same-sex marriages to insisting India is a democracy despite what critics may claim, Prafull Goradia comments on myriad topics in this exhaustive collection of essays. He questions why China does not have any friends or allies beyond North Korea and Pakistan. And asks us to be wary of China’s intentions as he believes its President for life, Xi Jinping’s will to dominate the world is as eloquent as any Mein Kampf. Have you ever wondered why the Jews remained homeless until 1948, what can the killings in the USA teach us? Is fascism a dirty word? Why has West Bengal become a graveyard of industries? Goradia reveals it all.

CHRONIC POVERTY IN INDIA ISSUES, POLICIES AND CHALLENGES
0Original price was: ₹995.00.₹796.00Current price is: ₹796.00.About The Book
The book is a systematic study of poverty in India. It brings together contributions of several social scientists with the objective of promoting clearer understanding of poverty-related questions through inter-disciplinary dialogues. The book deals with issues of poverty and society in India and discusses the challenges of studying the multidimensional aspects of poverty. Each section of the book contains a specific thematic area in the study of poverty, looking at the theoretical, methodological and empirical aspects of the dynamics of poverty in India. Some of the papers in this book have tried to evaluate poverty eradication policies and programmes since independence. It has also papers on the people’s responses to their situations of poverty.
Most of the papers in the book have used microdata for critical analysis of programmes and policies in different regions of India. A large proportion of India’s poor are living in chronic poverty. This has resulted in protests, electoral defeats for ruling political parties and coalitions and the rise of extremism. If we analyse the protests/movements after the 1990s closely, we can see that these displayed some emerging characteristics. Firstly, these movements were against post-liberalisation industrialisations, which were based on privatisation of public resources and mostly profit-oriented. These were also based on capital-intensive technologies and maximum utilisation of the natural resources.
The post-liberalisation industrialisation policy ignored the land, forest and water issues, which were basic sources of livelihood for rural populations of the country. The movements also tried to link the issues of development with cultural questions. Thirdly, these movements also tried to provide an alternative discourse of people-friendly development and they also provided a space for the marginalised masses. These protests and movements also questioned the political economy approach of development and gave an alternative to link development with the socio-cultural aspects of the specific region. Finally, all these protests/movements are against industrial developments which are creating marginalised groups in peripheral areas.
