Book Synopsis A Short History of The Indian Partition by : Gautam Madhav
Download or read book A Short History of The Indian Partition written by Gautam Madhav and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the present, we need to understand the past. To that extent the importance of Partition in South Asia's current political situation cannot be understated. The imprint of Partition plays a major role in all spheres of public life. Even at an individual level, many of us carry the unspoken memories of the Partition. The trauma is encoded in our DNA and the wounds never healed. The current book intends to give the viewer a comprehensive overview of the event starting from its very genesis post 1857 Indian Revolt. It covers the key events, the violence that followed as well as provides a few other perspectives that are not part of the popular narratives yet. Its a short read intended to make an understanding of the event accessible to a broader set of readers.A complex event that spans many decades, multiple incidents, events, pacts, letters etc. that could be aggregated into millions, if not billions of data points. It is an event of elephantine proportions - any one perspective risks classifying the viewer as one of the blind men of Hindustan. This book provides an overview from the beginning to the end.

Book Synopsis Malevolent Republic by : K.S. (Kapil Satish) Komireddi
Download or read book Malevolent Republic written by K.S. (Kapil Satish) Komireddi and published by Hurst Publishers. This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of imperfect secularism, presided over by an often corrupt Congress establishment, Nehru’s diverse republic has yielded to Hindu nationalism. India, the first major democracy to fall to demagogic populism in the twenty-first century, is racing to a point of no return. Since 2014, the ruling BJP has unleashed forces that are irreversibly transforming the country. Indian democracy, honed over decades, is now the chief enabler of Hindu extremism. Bigotry has been ennobled as a healthy form of self-assertion. Anti Muslim vitriol has deluged the mainstream. Religious minorities live in terror of a vengeful majority. Congress now mimics Modi; other parties pray for a miracle. In this highly acclaimed critique of post-Independence India from Nehru to Narendra Modi, revised and expanded with a new chapter, K.S. Komireddi charts the dismaying course of the world’s largest democracy. He argues that the missteps of the nation’s founders, the mistakes of Nehru, the betrayals of his daughter and her sons, the anti-democratic fetish for technocracy carried to extremes by Manmohan Singh—all of them prepared the way for Modi’s march to absolute power. If secularists fail to wrest the republic from Hindu supremacists, Komireddi argues, India may go the way of Yugoslavia and collapse under the burden of sinister ethno-religious nationalism. A gripping short history of modern India, Malevolent Republic is also a passionate plea for India’s reclamation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Pakistan and its Origins is a comprehensive, detailed and fully up-to-date study of one of the most diverse, volatile and strategically significant countries in the world today. Born in turmoil barely half a century ago, Pakistan seems to be in an interminable pursuit of its own identity and at the same time finds itself a pivotal player in world politics. Its short existence has witnessed much: four coups d' tat; the rise of Islam as a power; tensions between ethnic, religious and separatist movements; the Kashmir conflict and the near-constant war footing with India. This text charts half a century of nation-building in Pakistan, while at the same time placing the country within the context of its relations with the outside world.

Book excerpt: In this book, Air Marshal (Retired) M. Asghar Khan presents an insider's view of Pakistan's struggle for democracy from the 1960s to the present. The book expounds on the early entry of Pakistan's armed forces into the country's politics and the author's opposition to military rule that beganin 1968 with the Movement for the Restoration of Democracy. This movement resulted in the ouster of President Muhammad Ayub Khan in 1969 after eleven years of military rule. The author describes his continued opposition to autocratic and dictatorial rule, especially General Yahya Khan's policy ofbrutal suppression through military action in East Pakistan. He also recounts his strong criticism of the General's refusal to hand over power to Sheikh Mujibur Rehman and the Awami League - winners of the first-ever free and fair general elections held in Pakistan.The author recalls Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's rise to political power during the 1970s, and General Ziaul Haq's dogmatic and iron-fisted military rule during the 1980s, and elaborates on some pertinent features of Pakistan's domestic and international situation. The book concludes with the author'sassessment of General Pervez Musharraf's five years in power consequent upon the re-entry of the armed forces in the country's politics in 1999, after a brief and tumultuous interlude with democracy.
