Book excerpt: The establishment of the Indian National Congress in 1885 marked a turning point in modern South Asian history. At the time, few grasped the significance of the event, nor understood the power that its leader would come to wield. From humble beginnings, the Congress led by Gandhi would go on to spearhead India s fight for independence from British rule: in 1947 it succeeded the British Raj as the regional ruling power. Ian Copland provides both a narrative and analysis of the process by which Indians and Pakistanis emancipated themselves from the seemingly iron-clad yoke of British imperialism. In so doing, he goes to the heart of what sets modern India apart from most other countries in the region its vigorous democracy.

Book excerpt: The partitioning of British India into independent Pakistan and India in August 1947 occurred in the midst of communal holocaust, with Hindus and Sikhs on one side and Muslims on the other. More than 750,000 people were butchered, and 12 million fled their homes -- primarily in caravans of bullock-carts -- to seek refuge across the new border: it was the largest exodus in history. Sixty-seven years later, it is as if that August never ended. Renowned historian and journalist Dilip Hiro provides a riveting account of the relationship between India and Pakistan, tracing the landmark events that led to the division of the sub-continent and the evolution of the contentious relationship between Hindus and Muslims. To this day, a reasonable resolution to their dispute has proved elusive, and the Line of Control in Kashmir remains the most heavily fortified frontier in the world, with 400,000 soldiers arrayed on either side. Since partition, there have been several acute crises between the neighbors, including the secession of East Pakistan to form an independent Bangladesh in 1971, and the acquisition of nuclear weapons by both sides resulting in a scarcely avoided confrontation in 1999 and again in 2002. Hiro amply demonstrates the geopolitical importance of the India-Pakistan conflict by chronicling their respective ties not only with America and the Soviet Union, but also with China, Israel, and Afghanistan. Hiro weaves these threads into a lucid narrative, enlivened with colorful biographies of leaders, vivid descriptions of wars, sensational assassinations, gross violations of human rights -- and cultural signifiers like cricket matches. The Longest August is incomparable in its scope and presents the first definitive history of one of the world's longest-running and most intractable conflicts.

Book excerpt: Baron James Ashanti accomplishes a remarkable success in presenting multifaceted aspects of Indian culture. Ashanti touches its intimate radiance by writing about women in diff erent times and spaces. Th e character of Indian women has been domineering, accommodating and suppressible as well, in diff erent circumstances. Th e poor women have suff ered male domination in some tribes, families and sub-cultures. Th is has been ably highlighted. Baron James Ashanti's narrative poetry incorporates in this volume the images like jewels imbedded inside an oriental monument that refl ect the shades of the times as light falls on them. Dr. H. K. Kaul President Th e Poetry Society (India) An esoteric drift in the beginning from another time I come to redeem' along with authoritative repetitions imparts a bardic quality in the opening poems but we are soon to enter the 21st century India and confront a determinate modern tone of a powerful poet ruthlessly vocal about the evils of society still persisting in many parts and within many cultural groups of India. As we visit Irom Sharmila Chanu or Manorama, look at Delhi and Udaipur through the sensitive eyes , revisit personalities like Gandhi and Tagore in the garden' of the poet's mind or trace the course of Maa Ganga pausing briefl y at Varanasi where the rapture of the devotees might seem "organized chaos" to the unaccustomed eye, we are to realize that we have only been following the trail of conscience as the poet disquietens our inner stirrings and looks around at the scenes of human suff ering. Th e perspective of time sharply locates the poems in Indian present or Indian past, with an unfl inching insistence less concerned with the aesthetics of philosophical realm, asserting the content as the prime matter of the poems, yet achieving a graceful sense of motion taking the readers along in the Behta Bayda /Floating Raft towards scruples where ancient Indian gongs resonate.

This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1914, when the Great War began, and 1924, when the Ottoman Caliphate ended, British and Indian officials and activists reformulated political ideas in the context of total war in the Middle East, Gandhian mass mobilisation, and the 1919 Amritsar massacre. Using discussions on travel, spatiality, and landscape as an entry point, The First World War, Anticolonialism and Imperial Authority in British India, 1914–1924 discusses the complex politics of late colonial India and the waning of imperial enthusiasm. This book presents a multifaceted picture of Indian politics at a time when total war and resurgent anticolonial activism were reshaping assumptions about state power, culture, and resistance.
