A FEAST OF VULTURES : THE HIDDEN BUSINESS OF DEMOCRACY IN INDIA

By Josy Joseph. HarperCollins India 2016 , Review A Feast of Vultures is a lone warrior; as it unravels the facts, heads will roll. Every corrupt Indian should be afraid of this book, so should every public servant and politician. This non-fictional work is all heart there is an emotional tug to the facts written in superb prose. The author, courageous at once, doesn t mince his words and criticizes the unruly system with an unparalleled sensitivity and tenderness, which is the hallmark of true journalism. It is not lost on us that Josy loves his nation as much as we all do and his singular fight is decorated with this compassion as he reveals the muck behind the concept of a Rising India. He fights with the armour of best intent, for all of us, and the book sets out to examine the ills of a contemporary India that deprives the common man of his rights while serving as a sanctuary to the richest as they further their exploitative agenda, abetted by a bargaining political class. Many of the facts will stun us, shaking us from the hoodwinking stupor of a generous economy that has everything for someone willing to bend the rules. While our nation survives on a streak of jingoism, creating fictional external foes, the book redirects our view to the true reality India s enemies are within. --By A Customer on 6 August 2016 A dazzling piece of non-fiction, A Feast of Vultures lays bare the problems that confound India. India s best-known investigative reporter, Josy Joseph, writes with moral conviction, yet never denigrates to pontification as he piles up evidence of corruption in high places. The truth is conveyed through a searing prose an alarm for the citizens to wake up and take notice. Corruption is everywhere, more so in India with the aid of the ubiquitous middleman , and the book exposes the morass at the heart of the world s biggest democracy. While the rich get richer, and the poor continue to beg for their inalienable rights, the book displays immense courage in exposing the offenders, who are abetted by India s political class for a price. While it criticizes the decaying system with impunity, the passion to see a resurgent India - minus its ills - is evident throughout the book. One of the stories is about an airline tycoon, who s daylight murder in the 90 s was shabbily investigated and hushed up to abet the rise of a leading rival airline today. The book is a reminder to us, not to look away, but to take notice of what can kill the very idea of India as a nation --By Soni S on 9 August 2016 About the Author Josy Joseph is an award-winning investigative journalist based in New Delhi.

SYMPTOMS OF EXIT : Reflections Beyound Political

By Soumick, De. New Delhi Aakar Books 2024 , In Symptoms of Exit: Reflections Beyond the Political, Soumick De tries to critically focus on the question of escape as a form of resistance. Assembling a whole set of studies ranging from political theology to artificial intelligence, the book explores the philosophical idea of what it means to exit pre-existent forms of knowledge and practices. The analysis moves back and forth within the history of Western thought from Carl Schmitt to St Augustine and back to Bernard Steigler and Antonio Negri (among many others) without losing track of the underlying question: how to find new and creative ways to go beyond existent modes of the political. The essays collected in this book offer a new understanding of what is meant by creative symptomatology as a process of associating a disparate group of signs, all evoking the desire to exit the world and its power through acts of creation. Soumick De has been a guest faculty at the Department of Psycho-Social and Clinical Studies, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University, Delhi and a post-doctoral fellow at the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). He is the author of the book Perversion, Pedagogy and the Comic: A Survey of the Concept of Theatre in the Christian Middle Ages (Aakar, 2021 and Routledge, 2022). 9789350028773

ERASING HISTORY : How Fascists Rewrite Past To Control Future

By Stanley, Jason. New York One Signal - Simon & Schuster 2024 , History. Politics. Sociology. Nonfiction. HTML:"I've never read a book that is as timely, urgent and essential as this one. A battle plan for keeping this nation from falling into fascism." �Khalil Gibran Muhammad, author of The Condemnation of Blackness From the bestselling author of How Fascism Works, a searing confrontation with the far right's efforts to rewrite history and undo a century of progress on race, gender, sexuality, and class. The human race finds itself again under threat of a rising global fascist movement. In the United States, democracy is under attack by an authoritarian movement that has found fertile ground among the country's conservative politicians and voters, but similar movements have found homes in the hearts and minds of people all across the globe. To understand the shape, form, and stakes of this assault, we must go back to extract lessons from our past. Democracy requires a common understanding of reality, a shared view of what has happened, that informs ordinary citizens' decisions about what should happen, now and in the future. Authoritarians target this shared understanding, seeking to separate us from our own history to destroy our self-understanding and leave us unmoored, resentful, and confused. By setting us against each other, authoritarians represent themselves as the sole solution. In authoritarian countries, critical examination of those nations' history and traditions is discouraged if not an outright danger to those who do it. And it is no accident that local and global institutions of education have become a battleground, the authoritarian right's tip of the spear, where learning and efforts to upend a hierarchal status quo can be put to end by coercion and threats of violence. Democracies entrust schools and universities to preserve a common memory of positive change, generated by protests, social movements, and rebellions. The authoritarian right must erase this history, and, along with it, the very practice of critical inquiry that has so often been the engine of future progress. In Erasing History, Yale professor of philosophy Jason Stanley exposes the true danger of the authoritarian right's attacks on education, identifies their key tactics and funders, and traces their intellectual roots. He illustrates how fears of a fascist future have metastasized, from hypothetical threat to present reality. And he shows that hearts and minds are won in our schools and universities�places, he explains, that democratic societies across the world are now ill-prepared to defend against the fascist assault currently underway. Deeply informed and urgently needed, Erasing History is a global call to action for those who wish to preserve democracy�in America and abroad�before it is too late. 9781668079126

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

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

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.

NAZI MIND : Twelve Warnings From History

By Rees, Laurence. London Penguin - Viking 2025 , How could the SS have committed the crimes they did? How were the killers who shot Jews at close quarters able to perpetrate this horror? Why did commandants of concentration and death camps willingly-often enthusiastically-oversee mass murder? How could ordinary Germans have tolerated the removal of the Jews? In The Nazi Mind, bestselling historian Laurence Rees seeks answers to some of the most perplexing questions surrounding the second World War and the Holocaust. Ultimately, he delves into the darkness to explain how and why these people were capable of committing the worst crime in the history of the world. From the fringe politics of the 1920s, to the electoral triumph and mass mobilization of the 1930s, through to the Holocaust and the regime's eventual demise, Rees charts the rise and fall of Nazi mentalities-including the conditions that allowed such a violent ideology to flourish and the sophisticated propaganda effort that sustained it. Using previously unpublished testimony from former Nazis and those who grew up in the Nazi system and in-depth insights based on the latest research of psychologists, The Nazi Mind brings fresh understanding to one of the most appalling regimes in history". 9780241787830

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

SALT AND PEPPER : Dispatches From Fractured Republic

By Sankarshan Thakur. Calcutta Seagull Books 2025 , A fierce, witty portrait of a nation unraveling before our very eyes. Salt and Pepper is a collection of literary columns that defy convention—acerbic, tender, unrelenting in their gaze. Written between the margins of news and national spectacle, these pieces are not topical commentary but something far more enduring: political satire that reads like poetry, reportage that mutates into parable, lament, and fable. In these dispatches from a fractured republic, written over the past decade, journalist Sankarshan Thakur captures the surreal absurdities and deep disquiet of an India caught between thunderous assertion and muffled dissent. Governments speak in acronyms, mobs chant in hashtags, silence acquires a sound—and memory becomes an act of resistance. These are chronicles of a society slipping into curated amnesia, of belonging turned conditional, and of patriotism twisted into performance. Yet Salt and Pepper is also suffused with wit and grace. Thakur’s voice, intimate and incantatory, does not lecture—it conjures. His writing laughs, rages, mourns. It asks what it means to remember, to speak, to stay human in a time that asks you to forget. This is not a book of opinions. It is a reckoning. 9781803095998

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

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
