Byculla to Bangkok

ISBN: 935277292X
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
The high-stakes game of the underworld has new faces, working for and against Dawood Ibrahim - the shadowy, manipulative figure that pulls the strings. Dawood's own deputy turned arch-rival Chhota Rajan, thug-turned-politician Arun Gawli, Amar (Raavan) Naik and his engineer brother Ashwin Naik, and a host of other characters, big and small, walk the pages of this compelling history of the Maharashtrian mobsters who were once dubbed 'amchi muley', 'our boys', by Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray. Equally fascinating are the stories of the famous - and infamous - policemen and 'encounter specialists' who took the gangs on with great success and not too many scruples. Violence and deceit one expects to read of, but the strength of this book is also its ability to capture the mundane - almost naive - beginnings of what very quickly became the organized crime and brutal vendettas that held Mumbai to ransom through the last decades of the twentieth century. Meticulously researched and thrillingly told by the acknowledged expert on the underworld, this is faster-paced than Dongri to Dubai, and even more chilling in its implications for India and the subcontinent.

The Moral Imagination
Author: John Paul Lederach
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019974758X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
"John Paul Lederach's work in the field of conciliation and mediation is internationally recognized. He has provided consultation, training and direct mediation in a range of situations from the Miskito/Sandinista conflict in Nicaragua to Somalia, Northern Ireland, Tajikistan, and the Philippines. His influential 1997 book Building Peace has become a classic in the discipline. In this book, Lederach poses the question, "How do we transcend the cycles of violence that bewitch our human community while still living in them?" Peacebuilding, in his view, is both a learned skill and an art. Finding this art, he says, requires a worldview shift. Conflict professionals must envision their work as a creative act-an exercise of what Lederach terms the "moral imagination." This imagination must, however, emerge from and speak to the hard realities of human affairs. The peacebuilder must have one foot in what is and one foot beyond what exists. The book is organized around four guiding stories that point to the moral imagination but are incomplete. Lederach seeks to understand what happened in these individual cases and how they are relevant to large-scale change. His purpose is not to propose a grand new theory. Instead he wishes to stay close to the "messiness" of real processes and change, and to recognize the serendipitous nature of the discoveries and insights that emerge along the way. overwhelmed the equally important creative process. Like most professional peacemakers, Lederach sees his work as a religious vocation. Lederach meditates on his own calling and on the spirituality that moves ordinary people to reject violence and seek reconciliation. Drawing on his twenty-five years of experience in the field he explores the evolution of his understanding of peacebuilding and points the way toward the future of the art." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004011794-d.html.

The Black Rainbow
Author: Hussain Haider Zaidi
Publisher: Createspace Independent Pub
ISBN: 9781479290543
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The plot of the novel is set in the backdrop of religious militancy in Pakistan and grapples with the question why militancy has taken root in the country and in which direction society is heading for. The story revolves around Ali Naqvi, a student of philosophy, who is caught between faith and skepticism. Two other main characters are Maulvi Ziaur Rehman, who is the mentor of militants and Dr Junaid, a professor of philosophy but a mastermind of terrorism behind the scene. Ali turns to philosophy to help him puzzle out the riddles of life, the most important of which is whether God exists. However, the study of philosophy makes him more confused and skeptical and dismantles the traditional beliefs he has hitherto held to. The Dr Junaid-Maulvi Zia duo is desperate to force the government to halt its campaign against militancy. Frustrated by their failure, they plan to topple the government through a no-confidence motion in parliament. Supported by the opposition leader and some mega businessmen, they succeed in changing the government. However, the new prime minister has no love for militancy and turns back on his word to repeal the counter terrorism strategy of the previous government. This forces Maulvi Zia to turn against him as well and push up their clandestine activities. Meanwhile, Ali continues to oscillate between faith and skepticism and his skepticism grows so much that he suspects even his mother of poisoning him. Some personal catastrophic events disillusion him with life itself and he loses trust in the people around him. When Dr Junaid comes to know of his student's predicament, he sees in him a potential recruit for his jihadi organization. Eventually Ali becomes a militant and is assigned to kill a high profile target in a suicide blast. Would Ali carry out the attack? Would he re-gain his faith in God and trust in the world? What would be his ultimate fate?
