Book Description
Anil Sigdel dives into some of the most interesting trends in international relations, such as the rising influence of China and the instruments it uses to advance its interests worldwide, chiefly among them the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI) and the interplay between China and India, and what means New Delhi employs to come after China in the wider world. To this end, Sigdel takes both a geographic view by analyzing China’s and India’s relations with key regions – South East to Central Asia, Indian Ocean Region and Africa - and a functional view scrutinizing issues of relevance to the main topic – from cultural ties to infrastructure investment and maritime security. In his incisive analysis, Sigdel provides rich details on how India’s partnership is shaping with the major stakeholders in the Indo-Pacific region such US, Japan and France, and how India is balancing these partnerships vis-à-vis the one with Russia. The conclusions point to interesting prospects for the future – China challenge has, in a way, helped India further advance its own ambition of becoming a separate pole or leading power, therefore, India is likely to pursue that status by aligning issue-wise with all the powers.

Book Description
As Indians, we are capable of creating plenty of positive energy, achieving economic growth and working towards upliftment of society with moral values. However, in recent times, we have lost the track and energy to do so, probably due to trust deficit about political leadership of our country. Modi Era highlights how energetic leadership can change people’s mindset and bring positivity with enthusiasm, efficiency, speed, scale and quality. If so many changes can be brought in just 4 years, imagine what can be achieved in the coming years if the same leadership continues. Read and decide for yourself…

Indian foreign policy
Author: Harsh V. Pant
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526104881
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
India now plays an important role on the global stage. Its political clout has increased along with its economic and military growth. Considered a balancing power in Asia-Pacific, it is also seen as democratically in the West even as it challenges it on issues such as non-proliferation and global trade. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of Indian foreign policy today. It looks at the range of factors that are shaping India's foreign policy, from domestic politics to material capabilities as well as India's relations with the world's major powers and neighbouring countries. Key global issues, such as the role of India in international and regional organisations, nuclear proliferation, democracy and climate change are also discussed. In addition, 'snapshots' focus on important issues such as the strategic triangle: Russia, China and India. Written by an expert in the field, Indian foreign policy will be a key resource for anyone studying Indian or Asian politics, comparative international relations and globalisation.

In Era of Modi
Author: Ravindra Kishore Sinha
Publisher: Prabhat Prakashan Pvt Limited
ISBN: 9789353220631
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
This book is a collection of well researched 66 articles of R.K. Sinha. The writer has taken special care to see to it that there is no deviation from the theme of the subject written about. This is not the only introduction of the book. I would like to narrate a short story to unfold R.K. Sinha's background as a journalist. I was in Patna some time back. I rang up my old friend and colleague Surendra Kishore and visited his new house. Rather calling him to meet me at some central place in Patna, I preferred to visit him at his new house. The reason was, Surendra Kishore is one of few journalists who has his 'reference library' built over decades with great care and interest. I wanted to see it. When we were in conversation, it was difficult to miss reference of 'Yathavat', a fortnightly magazine in Hindi published from Delhi which I edit and R.K. Sinha is its Chairman. When Sinha's name cropped up in discussion, Surendra Kishore recalled an incident, some 50 years ago which proved a turning point in the life of Suendraji. In 1960s, R.K. Sinha, who wrote with his full name in credit line as 'Ravindra Kishore Sinha' was an icon for journalists then. There was flow and consistency in R.K. Sinha's writings. Impressed by Sinha's style of journalism, Surendraji added Kishore in his surname and from 'Surendra Akela' he became Surendra Kishore. -Rambahadur Rai

Modi's India
Author: Christophe Jaffrelot
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691247900
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 656
Book Description
A riveting account of how a popularly elected leader has steered the world's largest democracy toward authoritarianism and intolerance Over the past two decades, thanks to Narendra Modi, Hindu nationalism has been coupled with a form of national-populism that has ensured its success at the polls, first in Gujarat and then in India at large. Modi managed to seduce a substantial number of citizens by promising them development and polarizing the electorate along ethno-religious lines. Both facets of this national-populism found expression in a highly personalized political style as Modi related directly to the voters through all kinds of channels of communication in order to saturate the public space. Drawing on original interviews conducted across India, Christophe Jaffrelot shows how Modi's government has moved India toward a new form of democracy, an ethnic democracy that equates the majoritarian community with the nation and relegates Muslims and Christians to second-class citizens who are harassed by vigilante groups. He discusses how the promotion of Hindu nationalism has resulted in attacks against secularists, intellectuals, universities, and NGOs. Jaffrelot explains how the political system of India has acquired authoritarian features for other reasons, too. Eager to govern not only in New Delhi, but also in the states, the government has centralized power at the expense of federalism and undermined institutions that were part of the checks and balances, including India's Supreme Court. Modi's India is a sobering account of how a once-vibrant democracy can go wrong when a government backed by popular consent suppresses dissent while growing increasingly intolerant of ethnic and religious minorities.

Author: Rajdeep Sardesai
Publisher: Harper Collins

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
On 23 May 2019, when the results of the general elections were announced, Narendra Modi and the BJP-led NDA coalition were voted back to power with an overwhelming majority. To some, the numbers of Modi's victory came as something of a surprise; for others, the BJP's triumph was a vindication of their belief in the government and its policies. Irrespective of one's political standpoint, one thing was beyond dispute: this was a landmark verdict, one that deserved to be reported and analysed with intelligence -- and without bias.Rajdeep Sardesai's new book, 2019: How Modi Won India, does just that. What was it that gave Modi an edge over the opposition for the second time in five years? How was the BJP able to trounce its rivals in states that were once Congress bastions? What was the core issue in the election: a development agenda or national pride? As he relives the excitement of the many twists and turns that took place over the last five years, culminating in the 2019 election results, Rajdeep helps the reader make sense of the contours and characteristics of a rapidly changing India, its politics and its newsmakers. If the 2014 elections changed India, 2019 may well have defined what 'new India' is likely to be all about. 2019: How Modi Won India takes a look at that fascinating story, which is still developing.

Price of the Modi Years
Author: Aakar Patel
Publisher: Penguin Random House India Private Limited
ISBN: 9354927033
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Columnist, author and political commentator, Aakar Patel has long been a close observer of the political scenario. In Price of the Modi Years, he seeks to explain the data and facts on India's performance under Narendra Modi. Modi's predecessor, Manmohan Singh, had once said that Modi would be a disaster as prime minister. This book shows how. It concedes Modi's popularity; this is an accounting of the damage he has wrought. It is the history of India since 2014, assessing the damage across the polity from the economy, national security, federalism, foreign relations, legislations and the judiciary to media and civil society. Our memories are not long, news cycles are transient and incidents are forgotten or misclassified as being only episodic, unless documented, unified and placed together as a record. And, therefore, this book-a history of these present times.
