Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When P.V. Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh launched India's "Look East" policy, it was only the first stage of the strategy to foster economic and security cooperation with the United States. But "Looking East" became an end in itself, and Singapore a valid destination, largely because of Lee Kuan Yew. He had been trying since the 1950s to persuade India's leaders that China would steal a march on them if they neglected domestic reform and ignored a region that India had influenced profoundly in ancient times. With his deep understanding of Indian life, close ties with India's leaders from Jawaharlal Nehru on, and sound grasp of realpolitik, Lee never tired of stressing that Asia would be "submerged" if India did not "emerge." Looking East to Look West recounts how India and Singapore rediscovered long-forgotten ties in the endeavour to create a new Asia. Singapore sponsored India's membership of regional institutions. India and Singapore broke diplomatic convention with unprecedented economic and defence agreements that are set to transform boundaries of trade and cooperation. This book traces the process from the earliest mention of Suvarnadbhumi in the Ramayana to Lee Kuan Yew's letter to Lal Bahadur Shastri within moments of declaring independence on 9 August 1965, from the Tata's pioneering industrial training venture in Singapore to Singapore's Information Technology Park in Bangalore. It explains the part Lee played in India's emergence as a player in the emerging Concert of Asia. History comes alive in these pages as Sunanda K. Datta-Ray, who had eight long conversations with Lee Kuan Yew, tells the story in the words of the main actors and with a wealth of anecdotes and personal details not available to many chroniclers.

Book excerpt: Mission India: A Vision For Indian Youth has been written with the intention of challenging the Indian youth to bring about a positive change in the country by 2020. Kalam starts off by telling the readers that there has never been a time in Indian history such as this, where the nation has 540 million youth and 20 million Indians across the globe. He also states that several developed countries have directed their efforts towards setting up research centers across the country, which has benefited scientists, engineers, and professionals from various spheres. Kalam and Rajan tell the readers about their goal to make India one among the five top economic powers in the world by 2020. In the beginning of this book, Kalam presents the readers with a question as to whether India can become a developed country. He then provides insights into the current situation in the country, and explains that this goal is a realistic one. In the subsequent chapters, Kalam and Rajan begin to examine the five industries that need to become reasonably self-sufficient in the coming years, and each chapter tells the readers what can be done to bring a positive change in each industry. They also tell the readers about the current education system in the country, and the latest technology that can be used to improve the quality of education. The readers are also given insights into the present healthcare industry and infrastructural system, which are trademarks of a developed nation. Kalam and Rajan conclude by telling every individual and organization about the role they can play in transforming the nation by 2020

Book excerpt: Colonial missionaries, both Catholic and Protestant, arrived in India with the grandiose vision of converting the pagans because, like St. Peter (Acts 4:12) and most of the church fathers, they honestly believed that there is no salvation outside the church (extra ecclesiam nulla salus). At the end of the "great Protestant century," however, Christians made up less than 3 percent of the population in India, and the hope of the missionary was nearly shattered. But if one looks at mission in India qualitatively rather than quantitatively, one sees a number of positive outcomes. Missionaries in India, particularly Protestant missionaries espousing the social gospel, in collaboration with a few British evangelical administrators, dared to challenge numerous social evils and even began to eradicate them. The scientific and liberal English education began to enlighten and transform the Indian mindset. Converts belonging to the upper caste, although small in number, laid the foundation stone of Indian theology and an inculturated church using Indian genius. The end of colonialism in India coincided with the painful death of colonial mission theology. Now, the power of the Word of God, extricated from political power, is slowly and peacefully gaining ground, like the mustard seed of the parable. A paradigm shift from the ecclesio-centric mission to missio Dei offers reason for further optimism. In short, the future of mission in India is as bright as the kingdom of God. In today's new context, theologians, despite objections from some quarters, are struggling to discover the Asian face of Jesus, disfigured by the Greco-Roman Church. And the missionary is challenged to become a living Bible that, undoubtedly, everyone will read.

Book excerpt: With a heritage of 25 years in geo-politics, public perception, policy research and mind sharing, Team Psifos has witnessed India's remarkable transformation under Prime Minister Narendra Modi - the first PM elected directly by the people, not by the virtue of political lineage. PM Modi’s journey has been truly transformative. Our team had the privilege of working closely with and group worked on ‘Mission 272 Plus’ during the 2014 elections and takes pride in crafting this document of achievement only a mere decade later. The Honourable Prime Minister's address to the nation on August 15, 2014 from Lal Quila, resonated deeply as a testament to the transformation of the common man in India and ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’. This book unravels PM Modi’s relentless efforts to reshape India and provides insights into his visionary future roadmap. Modi’s march to success started with Swachh Bharat, and Izzat Ghar, which have helped Bharat’s millions of our sisters transform into healthy Bharat! World Yoga Day united the world with one vision of fitness through India’s ancient yoga practices, which have now 175 countries as member. Khelo India, Fit India Movement, Pradhan Mantri Garib Awas Yojana have helped many to achieve Atmanirbhar Bharat and leading Viksit Bharat 2047.

Book excerpt: Why Pray? reminds us that prayer is a love relationship with God in which we present our needs and then live in exciting, trust-filled wonder and anticipation of the unexpected ways that God will work. The book is divided into five weeks and concludes with a five-day epilogue on how to make our homes-Homes Of Prayer Everyday. The first week of daily devotions covers the importance of prayer. In this section the reader will learn about praying because of who God is and because we are made in His image. Prayer is a profound priviledge and expression of our relationship with God. In the second week of devotions, DeVries explains the priorities in prayer. Instead of of praying, we often deal with little emergencies, agonize over problems, create plans, and throw ourselves into projects and lose our sense of direction. During the third week of devotions, the author focuses on praying for our neighbors. Praying for neighbors is so important that failure to do this is actually a sin against God! Could it be that the evils in our cities are due in part to the fact that we aren't praying faithfully for our neighbors? The fourth week considers the question, "How should we pray? DeVries uses the Lord's prayer as an outline of a conversation with God-like any conversation between friends. The fifth week stresses the power of prayer as Christians pray as royal priests. The author inspires the readers through vivid examples and actual accounts of how prayer has transformed the nation of India. After each meditation there are reflection and discussion questions for both personal and small group uses.
