Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses the impact of Nehruvian socialism on freedom in India. It reflects on India s post-independence experience and finds that India needs to move well beyond socialist paradigms towards freedom and innovation if it wishes to retrieve its status as a great nation. It then traces the causes of India`s political and bureaucratic corruption, its poverty, and its large, illiterate population. The book then proposes numerous ways to transform India`s governance thorough competitive, freedom-based, solutions. Solutions recommended range from a re-write of the Indian Constitution in order to make it simpler and clearly focused on freedom, to the radical restructure of the Indian public services based on modern public sector reforms across the world. It advocates state funding of elections, raising the salaries of politicians significantly, freeing the labour market, imposing carbon taxes on pollution, seeking compensatory payments from developed countries for their prior carbon emissions, and complete privatisation of school and university education. It argues that India can, and should, aspire to be the world s best in everything it does. I believe that no Indian should settle for anything less than that.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberal Ideals and the Politics of Decolonisation explores the subject of liberalism and its uses and contradictions across the late British Empire, especially in the context of imperial dissolution and subsequent state- building. The book covers multiple regions and issues concerning the British Empire and the Commonwealth, in particular the period ranging from the late-nineteenth century to the late- twentieth century. Original intellectual contributions are offered along with new arguments on critical issues in imperial history that will appeal to a wide range of scholars, including those outside of history. Liberal Ideals and the Politics of Decolonisation exposes commonalities, contradictions and contexts of different types of liberalism that animated the late British Empire and its rulers, radicals, subjects and citizens as they attempted to forge new states from its shadow and understand the impact of imperialism. This book examines the complexities of the idea and quest for self-government in the last stages of the British Empire. It also argues the importance of the political, intellectual and empirical aspects of liberalism to understand the process of decolonisation. The chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue of The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History.

Book excerpt: This book traces the history of India’s struggle for freedom from circa 1915 to present day. Salient events from the 17th to 19th century are included to provide context to later events. The account narrated here is evidence-based, covering the four decades after M. K. Gandhi’s return from Africa. This is a historical narrative based on the facts and events that happened, backed by public domain records. These are further corroborated by Gandhi’s speeches, articles and letters written to the British authorities, with the ultimate aim of demystifying Gandhi’s Mahatmaship. The book highlights the series of missed opportunities and poor decisions made by the Indian leadership (primarily Gandhi and Nehru) during the course of independence and thereafter. These events and decisions have already affected the four generations of people. While there were several noteworthy freedom fighters who tried to steer things in more opportune directions, they were stymied by Gandhi’s authoritarian stance and his often-obstinate stand on social, economic, and political developments. This book looks critically at the decisions Gandhi made and their impact on modern-day India. Divided in seven sections, the first four sections discuss Gandhi’s leadership and his actions during the freedom struggle; the fifth section gives a detailed analysis of the 60 years of post-independence Congress regimes, during which Nehru and his dynasty’s policies destroyed the five pillars of democracy. Finally, the epilogue suggests a road map for the way forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In January 1889, Motilal Nehru, a lawyer from the north Indian city of Allahabad, traveled to Rishikesh, a town sacred to Hindus, up in the foothills of the Himalayas on the banks of the sacred river Ganga. There, he met a famous yogi who gave him a son, Jawaharlal Nehru, who would become one of the most remarkable men of the twentieth century. #2 The young Jawaharlal Nehru was shaped by two sets of parental influences: the traditional Hinduism of his mother and the modernist, secular cosmopolitanism of his father. The women in his family told him stories from Hindu mythology, and he was regularly immersed in the holy river Ganga. #3 The Nehrus were Kashmiri Pandits, who had made new lives for themselves in northern and central India since the eighteenth century. They were proud of their pan-Indian outlook. #4 Jawaharlal’s father, Motilal, was a lawyer who acquired the trappings of a Victorian gentleman of means. He had electricity and running water in his house, and his son was given lavish birthday parties and holidays in Kashmir.

Book excerpt: After Noya calls off her wedding on the big day, she decides to travel. Alone. That's when she notices Ranbir, who is insistently and coincidently touring the same places that are on her itinerary. She tries her best to avoid him – thinking him to be either someone sent by her parents or a stalker – but whenever she falls into trouble during the journey, he is always there for her. When they meet at her NGO opening ceremony in Goa, she realizes he isn't a stalker after all. With time, friendship blossoms and she learns he is about to get married. She also gets to know that his bride-to-be is a money-loving imposter and wants to reveal her true intentions. Ranbir is drawn towards Noya and confesses his feelings, but she has other plans. As Ranbir invites Noya for a trek to the Himalayas, he wonders if this could be a journey to their hearts. Breaking Free is a cocktail of emotions, with the tanginess of love, care and friendship.

Book excerpt: Shashi Tharoor delivers an incisive biography of the great secularist who—alongside his spiritual father, Mahatma Gandhi—led the movement for India’s independence from British rule and ushered his newly independent country into the modern world. The man who would one day help topple British rule and become India’s first prime minister started out as a surprisingly unremarkable student. Born into a wealthy, politically influential Indian family in the waning years of the Raj, Jawaharlal Nehru was raised on Western secularism and the humanist ideas of the Enlightenment. Once he met Gandhi in 1916, Nehru threw himself into the nonviolent struggle for India’s independence, a struggle that wasn’t won until 1947. India had found a perfect political complement to her more spiritual advocate, but neither Nehru nor Gandhi could prevent the horrific price for independence: partition. This fascinating biography casts an unflinching eye on Nehru’s heroic efforts for, and stewardship of, independent India and gives us a careful appraisal of his legacy to the world.
