Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond a Billion Ballots is an insightful advocacy of a range of political reforms aimed at making India a resurgent republic. In the process, the book reviews various challenges faced by democracy the world over, focussing on issues pertaining to the lack of robust development of its institutions, particularly the political parties. Holding the ‘crisis of purpose' in party politics responsible for the weak organisational health of parties, the author unfolds a link between activism bereft of ideology, representation sans results and democracy without deliverables. Written more from a practitioner's viewpoint, the book builds a strong case for liberating political parties from the trap of populist politics through a set of key systemic changes in India's democratic infrastructure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winning elections is not everything, what is crucial for the good health of a robust democracy is forming a government. From strategically devised pre-poll alliances to hastily stitched together post-poll associations, noted journalist Sunita Aron has travelled the length and breadth of the country, painstakingly documenting the drama and dharma of coalition politics in India. The result of her exhaustive research and insightful analysis, Ballots and Breakups is a cracker of a read. As Indian voters deliver fractured verdicts, political parties resort to constructing fragile coalitions by hook or by crook. The hapless casualties of this relentless quest for power are the Indian voters and this book is for them, as the writer eloquently exhorts for the need of common guidelines on the formation of a government in the case of a hung house. A gripping take on coalition politics in India, Aron charts a riveting tale of modern Indian politics that has all the masala of a Bollywood potboiler, but the ending, the writer asserts, has to be happy like that of any Hindi film, 'stable governments and a prosperous society even in a hung house!'

Book excerpt: Narendra Damodardas Modi stands for hope. Hope for billions of Indians. Love him, Hate him, NaMo is India’s last chance. His story fascinates almost every community in India and many abroad. His ever growing huge fan following has made him the most-searched political personality on Google in 2014. While several books have already been written about the Man, very few have been written about him by a “true- fan”, one of several Millions across the world. This honest endeavor written in totally “non-controversial” style, on his struggle of early years, rise as a CM of Gujarat and his stupendous success over a 13 year stint, his magnanimous election campaign to lead India to an almost single handedly historic verdict to his becoming India’s fifteenth Prime Minister is purely directed at his fans to enjoy the wonderful moments of their truest Leader. His rise hasn’t been a fairy tale story to say the least. It’s been an uphill struggle, battling his way to the top, fighting several battles both within and outside including his media ‘love-hate’ in India and abroad. NaMo has only one way forward, to take India to a glorious future and convert his multi Trillion-dollar dream of India into a reality. The book contains an interesting foreward by Shantanu Guha Ray, a Wharton-trained business journalist who scooped the Coal Scam in 2011 and won many national and international awards for a series of investigations. A unique Chapter on Shri Modi’s visit to Siachen with some “rarely-seen” visuals will form part of the Visual Delight for all and one. Several images of Shri Modi have been included in the Book. Enjoy reading “NaMo A Name, A Cult. A Visual Delight”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Palast is astonishing, he gets the real evidence no one else has the guts to dig up." Vincent Bugliosi, author of None Dare Call it Treason and Helter Skelter Award-winning investigative journalist Greg Palast digs deep to unearth the ugly facts that few reporters working anywhere in the world today have the courage or ability to cover. From East Timor to Waco, he has exposed some of the most egregious cases of political corruption, corporate fraud, and financial manipulation in the US and abroad. His uncanny investigative skills as well as his no-holds-barred style have made him an anathema among magnates on four continents and a living legend among his colleagues and his devoted readership. This exciting collection, now revised and updated, brings together some of Palast's most powerful writing of the past decade. Included here are his celebrated Washington Post exposé on Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris's stealing of the presidential election in Florida, and recent stories on George W. Bush's payoffs to corporate cronies, the payola behind Hillary Clinton, and the faux energy crisis. Also included in this volume are new and previously unpublished material, television transcripts, photographs, and letters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Is What Democracy Looked Like, the first illustrated history of printed ballot design, illuminates the noble but often flawed process at the heart of our democracy. An exploration and celebration of US ballots from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this visual history reveals unregulated, outlandish, and, at times, absurd designs that reflect the explosive growth and changing face of the voting public. The ballots offer insight into a pivotal time in American history—a period of tectonic shifts in the electoral system—fraught with electoral fraud, disenfranchisement, scams, and skullduggery, as parties printed their own tickets and voters risked their lives going to the polls.
