Book Description
India used to contribute approximately a quarter of the world's GDP until 1700 CE. As recently as 1820, this share was a hefty 16 per cent. But the Industrial Revolution shifted the centre of gravity of the global economy towards the West. The pernicious, indeed exploitative, policies of the British added to this shift by greatly impoverishing India.India's own policies during the first four decades following Independence denied it a rapid return to prosperity. But now that it has left those policies behind, opened up its economy and created a large GDP base, India can aspire to return to the prominent position it enjoyed in the global economy for so long. In The New India: A Reformer's Guide, one of the country's foremost economists, Arvind Panagariya, sets out a detailed pathway for India to regain its lost glory.

Book Description
This book is a clarion call to every Indian citizen and the world at large, looking at India with a keen eye as it gallops on the path of inclusive growth, aimed at unleashing the unlimited potential of a billion young minds. For the last 8 years, India has been in fast gear, roaring, leading, learning, giving, sharing, winning, digitizing, inventing, and developing its infrastructure along with other sectors such as energy, production, exports, and finance. There has been a growing collaborative movement ranging from almost 8 million plus self-help groups to over 8 lac cooperative societies getting digitized to nearly 100,000 successful startups. There is a race to do research, develop indigenized technologies and increase exports, even in defence.The more we think about our potential, heritage, unique culture, and patterns of growth, the more cemented we feel about a brighter tomorrow. Why stop at microfinance? How about nanofinance? If we have to spur the consumer economy at ten to twenty times the present scale, nanofinance to the lower 50 per cent stratum of India is the only way forward. This is actual financial inclusion. Let even the poorest Indian today be dignified so as to be able to access the buy now pay later (BNPL) facilities. Open credit enablement network (OCEN) (pronounced as O-ken) needs to be socialized at lightning speed.

Book Description
Warfare being an integral component of human civilization, nations are generally defined by the role played by their Armed Forces in shaping history. The story of the Army has neither a beginning nor an end; one has to, therefore, choose a point in time to start it. This story begins in 1914. The history of soldiers from Haryana, who have served the Indian Armed Forces through the last century, is a gripping account replete with innumerable examples of bravery, self-sacrifice and love for the country. The 'ordinary' men from this small state have played a big role in protecting national dignity. Thus, they have created values that shall not get inundated by moods of the moment due to their timeless appeal. Doughty Indian soldiers epitomize this sentiment, more than anything else. Hopefully, the coming generations would honor them by emulating their example. This focused account of the regional history of a national phenomenon will be of interest to teachers, scholars, soldiers as well as to the defence welfare policymakers.

Book Description
Learn how the deep history of nature became a dominant paradigm of historical thinking, through a study of landscapes of India. Winner of the BSHS Pickstone Prize by the British Society for the History of Science, Shortlisted for the Pfizer Award for an Outstanding Book in the History of Science by the History of Science Society In the nineteenth century, teams of men began digging the earth like never before. Sometimes this digging—often for sewage, transport, or minerals—revealed human remains. Other times, archaeological excavation of ancient cities unearthed prehistoric fossils, while excavations for irrigation canals revealed buried cities. Concurrently, geologists, ethnologists, archaeologists, and missionaries were also digging into ancient texts and genealogies and delving into the lives and bodies of indigenous populations, their myths, legends, and pasts. One pursuit was intertwined with another in this encounter with the earth and its inhabitants—past, present, and future. In Inscriptions of Nature, Pratik Chakrabarti argues that, in both the real and the metaphorical digging of the earth, the deep history of nature, landscape, and people became indelibly inscribed in the study and imagination of antiquity. The first book to situate deep history as an expression of political, economic, and cultural power, this volume shows that it is complicit in the European and colonial appropriation of global nature, commodities, temporalities, and myths. The book also provides a new interpretation of the relationship between nature and history. Arguing that the deep history of the earth became pervasive within historical imaginations of monuments, communities, and territories in the nineteenth century, Chakrabarti studies these processes in the Indian subcontinent, from the banks of the Yamuna and Ganga rivers to the Himalayas to the deep ravines and forests of central India. He also examines associated themes of Hindu antiquarianism, sacred geographies, and tribal aboriginality. Based on extensive archival research, the book provides insights into state formation, mining of natural resources, and the creation of national topographies. Driven by the geological imagination of India as well as its landscape, people, past, and destiny, Inscriptions of Nature reveals how human evolution, myths, aboriginality, and colonial state formation fundamentally defined Indian antiquity.

Book Description
"Our mind is capable of miracles because of its powers. The developments in various fields from science to culture and civilization are the results of the unlimited powers of the mind. But the power of mind can be constructive as well as destructive. It can help us make both a bread and a bomb. The destructive power of mind is to be controlled. Religion shows us the way to keep our mind away from destructive tendencies and experience its infinite powers for the good of our own being in particular and society in general." The present book is an attempt to revisit the path of Guru Nanak in opening the gates of the unlimited power of mind."
