Book Description
Wars between nations don’t start based on a single incident nor are they fought by just the combatants alone. Starting a war in the shadow of a nuclear umbrella is something that no responsible nation state will consider lightly. Yet, Pakistan has done it once in 1999 with India and its biggest ally China is virtually on the same path. Yet it has the sense to stop from pushing too hard and most such provocations fizzle out in time. But what happens if things don’t go as expected? Any wild card like a rogue general, a stronger than usual Indian response by a hawkish regime or any other factor can quickly escalate the minor border clashes to a full-fledged war leading to a nuclear exchange. This book explores these possibilities in two parts. The first one covers the incidents of statecraft, spycraft, provocations, terrorism and perception management which are more or less routine matters for most nations. The last few chapters cover a two-front war involving India on one side and Pakistan and China on the other and how it could go considering each side has nuclear weapons. The warfare has been described keeping current capabilities and ORBAT (Order Of Battle) of all sides in mind. It is of course not 100% accurate, but close enough for the purpose.

Book Description
The Sanskrit word ‘Tantra’ derives from the verbal root tan, meaning 'to weaves’, or 'compose’, and refers to a type of instructional text, often written as a dialogue between Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati. This book deals with the Tantric-shat-Karma, via., Shanti, Vashi Karana, Stambhana, Vidveshan, Uchchatana, and Marana. Besides it also deals with Mercurial treatment and other problems being dealt by aman and woman in their life.

It is all the more necessary to preserve what exists of these relics of the past because in modern life there is danger of their disappearance and records of them may be lost for ever. They may be forgotten and records of them may be lost for ever. This book has been collected from the archives of Kamakhaya Anusandhan Sansthan where it was kept in safe custody for centuries and it was our endeavor to translate it into English for our esteemed readers

Book Description
A historical fantasy set in the backdrop of Nalanda and the end of Gupta Empire depicts the horror of Hun invasion, and power struggle between smaller kingdoms in an alternate universe bounded by magical reality. During the political turmoil, a prince vouchsafed to save Magadha from foreign invasion with the help of Nalanda's intellectual teachers and their secret knowledge of Celestial Weapons.

Maha Kumbh Biggest Planet Event (A Managerial Perspective)
Author: Ramesh Pokharial 'Nishank'
Publisher: Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd
ISBN: 9355991320
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
The Kumbh Mela (congregation), organized after every 12 years in four cities of India, Haridwar Ujjain, Nasik, Allahabad on the bank of sacred rivers Ganga, Shipra, Godavari, and confluence of Ganga and Yamuna respectively. This is the largest congregation of faith and can be considered as one of the biggest religious events on our planet earth. A dip in the holy river during this period is regarded as very auspicious and believed to purify one's soul and lead to the righteous path. The Mela begins on the auspicious day of Makar Sankranti that falls on 14th January and draws to close around mid April. It draws millions of pilgrims over the course of this period including Ascetics, Saints, Sadhus, Sadhvis, Kalpvasis, and foreigners from various countries of the world. In the holy city of Hardwar, on the bank of sacred river Ganga, Kumbh Mela, was successfully organized in the year 2010. Managing millions of pilgrims in a small city was an arduous task due to geographical and other hurdles. As a Chief Minister of State Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank" was instrumental in organizing the event successfully. The success of Haridwar Kumbh congregation was highly appreciated on various fronts and won several accolades including a nomination for the prestigious Nobel prize. Taking cognizance of the repeated demands from India, UNESCO has declared Kumbh congregation as a world cultural heritage event that is attended by millions of believers of Hindu faith in disciplined and peaceful manner. For this reason, Kumbh 2010 came into the limelight once again, when people were overwhelmed with joy at the sensitivity of the "Nishank" Government to facilitate their needs. This book is inspired by a lecture in ISB Hyderabad where the students, faculty, and the director unanimously vouched for the idea that the story of this festival and its management should see the light of the day and be known to the whole world. Organizing this mega event required various innovative measures and enormous strategic planning and the same need to been shared. The idea is that this present book on the managerial perspective of the Kumbh will benefit all those interested in India's glorious traditions and will be fruitful for all the stakeholders who are involved in organizing mega-events like Kumbh.

Bimal Roy

Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 8184758189
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
Udayer Pathe, Bimal Roy’s first film, revolutionized Indian cinema. Hailed as a pioneer by Satyajit Ray, he was perhaps the first to bring shades of grey to the black-and-white screen. Roy’s spare storytelling and nuanced understanding of the human condition are reflected in classics like Devdas, Sujata and Madhumati. His ability to illuminate ordinary characters like Shambhu in Do Bigha Zamin and Kalyani in Bandini, is attested to by their being a part of popular memory even to this day. The Man Who Spoke in Pictures is not just a eulogy to this great director, but also an insight into Roy, the man, the director and his art. The auteur’s little-known Bengal phase is chronicled by Mahasweta Devi and Amit Chaudhuri, as well as Tapan Sinha, Amit Bose and other greats of cinema who trace his journey from cinematographer to director. His Bombay years are recorded through a collection of analyses and anecdotes from leading literary and cinematic luminaries, including Nayantara Sahgal, Gulzar, Naseeruddin Shah and Khalid Mohammed. The final section examines Roy from the outsider’s perspective, with articles by Meghnad Desai, Rachel Dwyer and Paula Mayhew.
