Book Description
The intent of this piece is to look at the “hopes and optimism” bestowed 10 years ago when the Modi Government (MG)assumed office and how the schemes and mantras have transformed India in the last 10 years. Introspecting and uncovering such “hope and optimism” then in 2014 that was kept alive and transformed into faith and trust in Modi led Government over these years. The big cruncher here is that would it be like crossing the bridge when we come to it or there is something on the cards way forward with mantras to achieve them with MG while anaemic job creation, pressures boiling over, fuelling protests and conflicts, corruption, social inequalities and such other factors are constantly barrelling down the initiatives. As such there is a lot of turmoil around still that one can see but very fortunately there’s a bunch of people that has made it all worthwhile so far but the apprehension floating is about how far. Is it like getting a bunch of ace drivers and then getting caught up in a traffic jam and leaving them there. The book is teeming with little ideas that India can do. Most Indians are giddy about their country’s economic prospects as to whether would it sustain fulfilling the aspirations on the ball to take Bharat to the next trajectory of happiness and quality of lives of the people. Let's dig deeper, it will make you question everything you thought you knew. Our minds are incredibly powerful so let's explore the potential of our thoughts

India, that is Bharat
Author: J Sai Deepak
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 9354350046
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
India, That Is Bharat, the first book of a comprehensive trilogy, explores the influence of European 'colonial consciousness' (or 'coloniality'), in particular its religious and racial roots, on Bharat as the successor state to the Indic civilisation and the origins of the Indian Constitution. It lays the foundation for its sequels by covering the period between the Age of Discovery, marked by Christopher Columbus' expedition in 1492, and the reshaping of Bharat through a British-made constitution-the Government of India Act of 1919. This includes international developments leading to the founding of the League of Nations by Western powers that tangibly impacted this journey. Further, this work also traces the origins of seemingly universal constructs such as 'toleration', 'secularism' and 'humanism' to Christian political theology. Their subsequent role in subverting the indigenous Indic consciousness through a secularised and universalised Reformation, that is, constitutionalism, is examined. It also puts forth the concept of Middle Eastern coloniality, which preceded its European variant and allies with it in the context of Bharat to advance their shared antipathy towards the Indic worldview. In order to liberate Bharat's distinctive indigeneity, 'decoloniality' is presented as a civilisational imperative in the spheres of nature, religion, culture, history, education, language and, crucially, in the realm of constitutionalism.

Our Final Invention
Author: James Barrat
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1250032261
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Elon Musk named Our Final Invention one of five books everyone should read about the future—a Huffington Post Definitive Tech Book of 2013. Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the “smart” in your smartphone and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence. In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI’s Holy Grail—human-level intelligence. Once AI has attained it, scientists argue, it will have survival drives much like our own. We may be forced to compete with a rival more cunning, more powerful, and more alien than we can imagine. Through profiles of tech visionaries, industry watchdogs, and groundbreaking AI systems, Our Final Invention explores the perils of the heedless pursuit of advanced AI. Until now, human intelligence has had no rival. Can we coexist with beings whose intelligence dwarfs our own? And will they allow us to? “If you read just one book that makes you confront scary high-tech realities that we’ll soon have no choice but to address, make it this one.” —The Washington Post “Science fiction has long explored the implications of humanlike machines (think of Asimov’s I, Robot), but Barrat’s thoughtful treatment adds a dose of reality.” —Science News “A dark new book . . . lays out a strong case for why we should be at least a little worried.” —The New Yorker
