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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48517926945066,"sku":"SOF-08203","price":279027.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/ubh263.webp?v=1716484762"},{"product_id":"india-remembered","title":"India Remembered","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor :  Margaret Spear Perceival\u003cbr\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Orient BlackSwan\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date : 1 January 2010\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ 200 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 8125039600\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 9788125039600\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 300  g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the book \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehis book is “one of memories and reflections” of historian Percival Spear, and his wife Margaret. Their association with India began in 1924 when he joined St Stephen's College, Delhi, as a young lecturer and stayed on in the city till 1944.\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many books of the period that studied the political turmoil from the viewpoint of the leaders, India Remembered looks at India during its quest for freedom in the early twentieth century through the eyes of two perceptive people. In the first part of the book, Percival Spear carefully writes about his two-decade long relationship with the college, fellow teachers, missionaries, students, friends, both he and his wife made, and the huge political storm of the freedom struggle through the eyes of a sympathetic yet detached historian. In the second part, Margaret Spear takes the “Verandah Viewpoint” on India—painting a sketch of the land, the ordinary people, their lives, joys, travails and festivities.\u003cbr\u003eThe Spears’ passionate involvement with India is reflected in their writing, imbued with feelings, observations and insights, that makes this memoir an enduring read.

Likewise, empowerment of women and weaker sections, through a well-devised system of reservation, has not only brought about a change in the socio-political culture of these sections of society but has also led to a virtual transformation of the rural scene where people have increasingly become aware of their rights and have started demanding their share in power.

It rests on the capability of a nation to deter the enemy, ensure that the credibility of the threat is maintained, and respected, and use that capability when necessary. Nuclear Weapons deter, but there is the pursuit for the absolute means to seek foolproof deterrence. Herein lies the dilemma. The stakes involved in a nuclear war and the use of these weapons stimulate varied and worried debates. To justify a war, arguments tend to get grounded on ‘just war’ The doctrine of Just War is concerned not with what men did in war but what they ought to do or refrain from doing; the jus ad bellum or justification of war and the jus in bello or the limitation of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaloy Krishna Dhar began life as a journalist and a teacher, but ended up spending more than thirty years as an officer in India’s Intelligence Bureau, retiring as its Joint Director.

This book develops and explains the theory of maneuver warfare and offers specific tactical, operational, and organizational recommendations for improving ground combat forces.

Over seven years, across 9,000 miles, Suchitra Vijayan travelled these borderlands. The more she travelled, the clearer it became to her that local history and memory bear no resemblance to the political history of the nation that claims these lands and peoples.From the densely populated border that India shares with Bangladesh to the highly disputed one with Pakistan, the stories in this book engage with how people live, struggle, fight and survive. A man escapes the floodlights that invade his home by blocking out all light, children use a border pillar as a handy cricket stump, and a family live out their lives beside the men who orchestrated their son’s death. These are stories that question our ideas of what freedom means and what it means to be a citizen. At a time when millions in India face loss of citizenship—the largest crisis of manufactured statelessness in human history—Vijayan’s clear-eyed, empathetic reportage provides a re-examination of the idea of territorial sovereignty.Midnight’s Borders, featuring over forty original photographs, is a compelling narrative of a country in crisis, turning against its own people while coping with the legacy of colonialism and Partition. As the margins close in on the mainland, this necessary account forces a reckoning with the brutality that informs India’s relationship with its borderlands.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuchitra Vijayan was born and raised in Madras, India.
