IN PURSUIT OF DEMOCRACY : Beyond Party Lines

By Najma Heptulla. New Delhi Rupa Publications 2024 , In Pursuit of Democracy chronicles her journey, a path marked by self-discovery and goal setting, as well as by struggle, determination, hard work, and enterprise. With a career spanning over four decades, Heptulla has ushered in pivotal changes in the Indian polity. After 17 years as Deputy Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha, she became synonymous with the upper house of Parliament. Having worked with prime ministers from Indira Gandhi to Narendra Modi, she offers readers a ringside view of Indian democracy at play. With hindsight, she traces her growth in politics, her interpersonal relationships with Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Y.B. Chavan, Pranab Mukherjee, P.V. Narasimha Rao, L.K. Advani, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and Sharad Pawar, among others. Further, she finally puts paid to the speculations behind her controversial departure from the Congress and joining the Bharatiya Janata Party. Woven into her political life are personal stories—the untimely death of a beloved brother, a fulfilling marriage, and the demands of balancing motherhood with a successful career. Heptulla contemplates love, loss, tragedy, jealousy, ambition and the grey areas where these emotions reconcile. In Pursuit of Democracy goes beyond a typical autobiography, becoming a living document of history. 9789361569371

NAVEEN PATNAIK

By Ruben Banerjee. New Delhi Juggernaut 2024 , In 1997, when the beloved Odia politician Biju Patnaik died, his son, Naveen Patnaik, stepped forward to contest the by-election to his father’s Lok Sabha seat. Then fiftyone years old, Patnaik, who once ran a boutique in Delhi, had never contested an election or held public office and spoke no Odia. Patnaik wrested absolute control of the BJD and won election after election: he has been elected to the Lok Sabha three times, and as chief minister of Odisha five times. But this winning streak ended in 2024, when the BJP managed to snatch control of the state from the ageing Patnaik. In this book, the veteran journalist, Ruben Banerjee, decodes the success and downfall of the enigmatic politician who stays in the shadows and rarely gives interviews. This is a thrilling story of the rise and fall of an unlikely and seemingly unbeatable politician. 9789353453169

RIGHTS OF MAN OTHER WRITINGS

By Tom Paine. Heron Books , Thomas Paine was the first international revolutionary. His Common Sense (1776) was the most widely read pamphlet of the American Revolution--and his Rights of Man (1791-2), the most famous defense of the French Revolution, sent out a clarion call for revolution throughout the world. Paine paid the price for his principles: he was outlawed in Britain, narrowly escaped execution in France, and was vilified as an atheist and a Jacobin on his return to America. This new edition contains the complete texts of both Rights of Man and Common Sense, as well as six other powerfully political writings--American Crisis I, American Crisis XIII, Agrarian Justice, Letter to Jefferson, Letter Addressed to the Addressers on the Late Proclamation, and Dissertation on the First Principles of Government--all of which illustrate why Paine's ideas still resonate in the modern welfare states of today. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more. 9780199538003

REPUBLIC

By Plato. Heron Books , Plato's Republic is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy. Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, it is an inquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation other questions are raised: what is goodness; what is reality; what is knowledge; what is the purpose of education? With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by 'philosopher kings'. 9780192126047

POLITICS : Athenian Constitution

By Aristotle. London Heron Books , Probably written by a student of Aristotle, The Athenian Constitution is both a history and an analysis of Athens' political machinery between the seventh and fourth centuries BC, which stands as a model of democracy at a time when city-states lived under differing kinds of government. The writer recounts the major reforms of Solon, the rule of the tyrant Pisistratus and his sons, the emergence of the democracy in which power was shared by all free male citizens, and the leadership of Pericles and the demagogues who followed him. He goes on to examine the city's administration in his own time - the council, the officials and the judicial system. For its information on Athens' development and how the democracy worked, The Athenian Constitution is an invaluable source of knowledge about the Athenian city-state.

By Thomas More. Heron Books , Utopia and the Dialogue of Comfort is a book written by Thomas More, a renowned English philosopher, and statesman, in 1913. The book is a collection of two of More's most famous works, Utopia and The Dialogue of Comfort. Utopia is a fictional account of an ideal society, where people live in harmony and equality. More describes a perfect world where private property is abolished, and everyone works for the common good.

The book is structured as a conversation between two friends, one of whom is suffering from a personal crisis. Through their dialogue, More explores the meaning of happiness and how it can be achieved even in the face of adversity.Together, Utopia and The Dialogue of Comfort provide a comprehensive insight into More's philosophical and political views. The book is a timeless classic that continues to inspire and provoke thought in readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

CONSCIENCE NETWORK : Chronicle of Resistance to Dictatorship

By Sugata Srinivasaraju. Haryana Vintage - Penguin Books 2025 , Untold History of India’s Emergency Resistance. US Solidarity, Indian Diaspora & Gandhi-Inspired Civil Rights. This is a parallel history of resistance to Indira Gandhi’s dictatorial rule between 1975 and 1977, when an internal emergency was proclaimed in India. The events here unfold entirely in the United States of America surrounded by the echoes of emergency action in India. The book has an intimate historiographic style and is narrated through the lives, actions and world views of chosen protagonists, who with perseverance and principle constructed a classic Gandhian movement. The book not only tracks political developments, ideological debates and sociocultural contexts of the time but also records how American pacifists, Quakers, civil rights activists, academics, authors, senators and Congressmen came together in solidarity to form a network of conscience to save India’s democracy. Amid this, a quiet thread in the book is the story of the Indian diaspora in the US that had just about begun staring at a horizon of influence. It is widely believed that one of the factors that pushed Indira Gandhi to end the Emergency in 1977 and call for a general election was international pressure. Being Jawaharlal Nehru’s daughter, it is said that she was sensitive to how she was being perceived overseas, and after a point, thought it was counterproductive to play dictator. However, this book does not get into such conjectures or presumptions but endeavours to paint a true and complex picture of the time. The narrative here is fused with a diligent study of personal papers and archival material in India and overseas that had neither been accessed or assessed till now. This is yet another offering from an author whose books have been applauded for their uncommon insights, intellectual bandwidth and a fine literary style. 9780670096787

COMRADES AND COMEBACKS : Battle of Left to Win Indian Mind

By Saira Shah Halim. Haryana Vintage - Penguin Books 2025 , The history of Left politics in India runs deep into the very heart of the freedom struggle. It can hardly be denied that both the freedom struggle and the political landscape of free India was, for the longest time, hued in various shades of red. Peculiarly, Leftism in India has developed in close ties with the culture in which it was rooted. A movement consisting of diverse forces—-with moderate socialists at one end of the spectrum and extremist or revolutionary communists at the other—-The Indian Left has had a complex and evolving role in Indian politics. While historically it has played a pertinent role, primarily in states such as West Bengal and Kerala, its influence and relevance, both have waned in recent years. It has been struggling to adapt itself to dynamic electoral politics and, therefore, finding it hard to regain its lost ground. This book is about an ideology that is under threat or, as many say, almost extinct, at least in India. It tries to sketch a rich historical narrative that foregrounds left politics in world history, locate its relevance in India and chart a future of its revival. 9780143464815

NATIONALISM NATIONALISM NATIONALISM : World History

By Eric Storm. New Jersey Princeton University Press 2024 , A global perspective on the nature and evolution of nationalism, from the early modern era to the present The current rise of nationalism across the globe is a reminder that we are not, after all, living in a borderless world of virtual connectivity. In Nationalism, historian Eric Storm sheds light on contemporary nationalist movements by exploring the global evolution of nationalism, beginning with the rise of the nation-state in the eighteenth century through the revival of nationalist ideas in the present day. Storm traces the emergence of the unitary nation-state-which brought citizenship rights to some while excluding a multitude of "others"-and the pervasive spread of nationalist ideas through politics and culture. Storm shows how nationalism influences the arts and humanities, mapping its dissemination through newspapers, television, and social media. Sports and tourism, too, have helped fashion a world of discrete nations, each with its own character, heroes, and highlights. Nationalism saturates the physical environment, not only in the form of national museums and patriotic statues but also in efforts to preserve cultural heritage, create national parks, invent ethnic dishes and beverages, promote traditional building practices, and cultivate native plants. Nationalism has even been used for selling cars, furniture, and fashion. By tracing these tendencies across countries, Storm shows that nationalism's watershed moments were global. He argues that the rise of new nation-states was largely determined by shifts in the international context, that the relationships between nation-states and their citizens largely developed according to global patterns, and that worldwide intellectual trends influenced the nationalization of both culture and environment. Over the centuries, nationalism has transformed both geopolitics and the everyday life of ordinary people. 9780691233093

HINDUTVA AND HIND SWARAJ : History's Forgotten Doubles

By Makarand R Paranjape. Haryana Vintage - Penguin Books 2025 , The Battle of Ideas in Indian History and Politics Hindu Identity, Nationalism, and Democracy A close reading of the persistent antagonisms in Indian history, Hindutva and Hind Swaraj focuses on the ideological clash between Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, representing the broader ideological, political, and cultural factions within Hindu and Indian society. The central argument is that this antagonism continues to influence national life, both politically and personally, reflecting two contrasting ideologies: Hindutva and Hind Swaraj. Divided into three parts, the first part addresses the lack of historical records in ancient India and the importance of creating a national history to reclaim India’s past. In the part second part, the author examines the discovery of India’s cultural and historical identity, the impact of colonialism, and the need for a balanced discourse that acknowledges the complexity and diversity of Indian society. While the third looks at the e contemporary political landscape, the rise of Hindutva, and the ongoing struggle between Gandhi’s vision of non-violent resistance and Savarkar’s advocacy of armed rebellion. It highlights the unresolved tensions between these two ideologies and their implications for India’s future. The book emphasizes the need for a new approach to understanding and reconciling these differences, suggesting that a balanced discourse and a deeper inquiry into the nature of nationalism, democracy, and Indian society are essential for creating a new India. 9780143477105

TOPPLING THE FIRST MINISTRY : Kerala, CIA, and Struggle for Social Justice

By Thomas Issac, T M. New Delhi Aakar Books 2026 , Toppling the First Ministry, by T. M. Thomas Isaac and Richard W. Franke, tells the story of the CIA’s covert operations against India’s first Communist ministry. When Kerala, the south-west Indian coastal province, established its first Communist ministry in 1957, it immediately drew up a development schema rooted in plans to redistribute land and provide public education and healthcare to all. But as quickly as it began executing its vision, Kerala’s efforts were disrupted by anti-communist agitation that succeeded in toppling the ministry with the help of the CIA. To this day, the CIA has not claimed any direct role in toppling Kerala’s government Kerala is not alone. From Guatemala to Iran to the Congo to Brazil, to Indonesia and beyond, the CIA put up the financing to generate street mobs, groomed thuggish political bosses to do the CIA’s bidding, organized private armies that answered to the CIA, bought and controlled media and individuals, assassinated popular leaders, and toppled elected ministries in an effort to maintain or establish U.S. control of the political and economic systems. One could see the story of Kerala as just one more tragic example of the CIA’s successful efforts to manipulate the course of history and disrupt everyday life in countless emerging post-colonial nations following WWII. And yet, Kerala stands apart as an exceptional case, remarkable for what it managed to achieve: a redistributive strategy of development and consequent high quality of life for its ordinary citizens, initially at a relatively low level of economic growth. Since then, bolstered by subsequent intermittent left-led governments, Kerala`s democratic development alternative has continued to flourish. Drawing upon the recent revelation of thousands of pages of documents via the Freedom of Information Act, Isaac and Franke offer a detailed examination of the internal workings of the CIA and its local Kerala allies in subverting and ultimately overthrowing the newly elected ministry. They also show how, against all odds, Kerala continues to be a stronghold of the left in India and even across the globe. 9789350029459

GREAT POWER GAMES : From Western Decline to Eastern Ascent

By Vikram Sood. New Delhi Juggernaut Books 2025 , Great Power Games is an authoritative account of the world order in flux, from the ashes of the Second World War to the fractured present. For decades, the United States and its Western allies shaped the global system through treaties, institutions and a carefully constructed rules-based order. That edifice now shows deep cracks. Hot wars rage on multiple fronts, the West is riven by internal turmoil and America, under the disruptive presidency of Donald Trump, has abandoned the very frameworks it once created. In this gripping narrative, Vikram Sood, former chief of the R&AW, reveals how nations pursue power. Behind the handshakes and communiqués lie covert operations, espionage, proxy wars, disinformation campaigns and economic coercion. From the Cold War’s shadow battles to the unipolar arrogance of post-Soviet America, he charts how the West rose, and how it is now faltering. He traces how the Cold War divided the world into camps, how the Soviet Union fell, how America reigned in unipolar arrogance, and how a new balance of power is now emerging. As China asserts itself with economic and military might and India positions itself as a pivotal actor, the old powers – the United States and Russia – remain locked in dangerous contests of ambition. The result is a volatile multipolar world where the rules are being rewritten in real time. Incisive, unsettling and panoramic in scope, Great Power Games is both a history of global geopolitics and a warning about the turbulent future we are entering. 9789353459291

INDIA'S FOREIGN POLICY MODI 2.0 : Challenges and Opportunities

By Nil. New Delhi Pentagon Press 2020 , Indo-Pacific has become the pivot of the global politics and the salience of the region is bound to increase in the foreseeable future. India`s profile has rapidly grown since the end of Cold War and now India is being considered an important country in shaping the power equilibrium within the Indo-Pacific in particular and at the global level in general. The security architecture has remained turbulent in the region and in this prevailing scenario India has the golden opportunity to maximize its national interests. The phenomenal rise of China in the region and its diverging interests with India and many other important countries within the region have further complicated the security situation. India had a coalition government from 1989 till 2014. The 2014 General elections gave a thumping majority to Modi-led BJP. This government has performed excellently on the foreign policy front in its first tenure and has contributed as a motivating factor in the return of Modi government with a bigger majority in May 2019. At this juncture, India needs to reformulate its policies to cope up with the emerging situation. PM Modi is considered a strong leader and has adopted a pro-active foreign policy. But now, India has to reformulate its foreign policy in a structural manner to cope up with changing global power structure. It offers both challenges and opportunities to the Narendra Modi–led NDA-3 government. 9788194283775

INDIA'S FOREIGN POLICY : Narendra Modi and Indic Perspective of International Relations

By Manan Dwivedi. New Delhi Ane Books 2025 , This book details the latest developments on the existing literature in PM Modi's take on the nation's foreign policy. The muscular, aggressive and proactive foreign policy tenor of the post 2014 regime is much different than the previous denominations. The strangulation and global isolation of Pakistan coupled with the containment of China are two laudable achievements of Modiji. The enunciation of the tenet of Vishwa guru has heralded a new dominant phase in the foreign policy praxis in the nation. All in all, the buttressing ushered in by the Indic perspective of IR is a notable first. The book also draws upon New Delhi's relations with great powers and thematic issues of the order of climate change and disarmament in a novel manner. The harking back to the Sanatani tradition of Videsh neti completes the casket of Raisina Hill's foreign policy in tandem with the over arch of New India. 9789394883284

With this aim in mind, in January 2019, Vivekananda International Foundation (VIF) organized a two-day national seminar on Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: Relevance of India's Ancient Thinking to Contemporary Strategic Reality in collaboration with the Indian Council of Philosophical Research (ICPR) and the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR). The proceedings of the seminar are being presented in the form of this edited volume, which contains contributions from eminent scholars, diplomats and strategic thinkers on different aspects of India's civilizational contribution and their relevance in international politics, diplomacy and projection of India's soft power. It will be of interest to readers in philosophy, history, political thought, international relations, diplomacy and India's strategic culture. 9788173056451

KASHMIR WAR OF NARRATIVES

By Bashir Assad. New Delhi Vitasta 2025 , The stereotypical Kashmir narrative runs on a grinding machine of disinformation, half truths and concocted accounts unrelentingly flowing from Pakistan. This is an obfuscation of truth. Through the cruel, merciless arms of terrorism, atrocities and pain have been inflicted upon the Kashmiris. Hair-raising terrorist atrocities over more than 30 years tell the story of how Pakistan has ripped apart the life and happiness of Kashmiris. It is never easy to challenge the narrative constructed by Pakistan on Kashmir. This is not an exoneration of the state for its faults and follies. But Kashmir desperately needs a new intellectual discourse. It needs new perspectives. The beneficiaries shall be all of us: We, our loved ones, our society―all of Kashmir that wants to live an abundant, enriched and peaceful life. 9789390961191

HINDU NATIONALISM IN INDIA

By Raman, R. New Delhi Keshav Books 2020 , Hindu Nationalism and democracy examines the rise of the bharatiya janata party (BJP) as one of the dominant forces within indian politics. The ideology of the party is analyzed as a form of religious nationalism with possible strains in its relation to the religious minorifies of india. Hindu nationalism has been collectively referred to as the expression of social and political thought based on the native spiritual and cultural traditions of the indian subcontinent. Some scholars have argued that the use of the term Hindu nationalism to refer to hindu rastravada is a simplistic translation and is better described by the term hindu polity the native thought streams become highly relevant in indian history when they helped form a distinctive identity in relation to the Indian polity and provided a basis for questioning colonialism. They inspired the independence movements against the British raj based on armed struggle coercive politics and non-violent protests. They also influenced social reform movements and economic thinking in India. This book provides a viable alternative based upon the desired behaviors at individual and group levels. The Hindu way of life the book propounds gives prominence to culture and social relations rather than to economic and political behaviors. 9789387393059

TIBET : When Gods Spoke. India Tibet Relations (1947-1962) Prat 3

By Claude Arpi. New Delhi Vij Books India , Volume 3 of this series “India-Tibet Relation” looks into the consequences of the Chinese presence on the Tibetan plateau. Ironically, the period 1954-1957 saw the first Chinese intrusions into Indian territory, particularly in Barahoti, a small flat grazing ground in today's Uttarakhand. On the diplomatic front, it starts with the Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai's visit to Delhi in June 1954, followed by Jawaharlal Nehru's trip to Beijing in October; at the end of 1956. It culminates with the visit of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, accompanied by Zhou, to Delhi for the 2500th anniversary of the birth of the Buddha. We witness the slow erosion of the Tibetan control over the Land of Snow's administration and the rapid building of roads towards the Indian borders...including through the Aksai Chin of Ladakh. 9789388161565
