Book Description
Constituent Assembly Debates, which made the Constitution of India, are the original source to understanding how the Constitution was made. The debates are bold and blunt, conducted using soft expressions and language. Rather than reading the Constitution as it is, what we discovered over the last fifty years of its adoption is that it is read differently, suiting the persons of the political parties speaking as they selectively suppress the spirit of the Letters. Terms such as socialist" and "secular were later inserted in the Preamble through the 42nd Amendment in 1976 and that opened up Pandora's box. Unfortunate derivation continued to progress, opening up opportunities to influence the meaning of socialism, secularism, and religion. Politicians didn't even glance at the spirited debates, on how those very words were used to rench the consensus collectively among them. Inequality continued to increase year after year, which should not have been there after the insertion of those words. Politicians and religious leaders at that time considered it more appropriate to convert those words as more relevant terms like religion, caste and creed. There onwards, the country started experiencing a different taste of socialism, secularism, and religion. In the author's view, all such conceptions were solely serving self-interests. This is where we stand today. The author has made a humble effort in this book to highlight the misconceptions of these terms as envisioned in the Constitution. People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive metion." - Dr. Steve Maraboli.

Book Description
India is moving towards becoming an intelligent and industrious nation in the world but unmoving in its installing pillars, political stability and communal conflagration. Every citizen’s welfare is the only way to make the nation great. A nation is built not by one Faith but by all the Faiths together as an integral part of the Nation. On 15th August 2022, we celebrated 75th Year of our Independence that looked decorative than democratic. Former is showmanship and latter is workmanship. Nation’s wealth should make all the sectors healthy. The Constitution defines Constituents or Organs but not the Pillars or the making up the Gaps. The Gaps which our Constitution makers left open was to test the sensibility, prudence and wisdom of the generations to come. The Gaps have the strength to generate orderliness in the democracy. Their ignorance or indifference masked the working of democracy.

Book Description
In India, the quote “Justice Delayed is Justice Denied” is frequently cited in legal proceedings, orders, and judgments. However, its impact has been minimal, leading to a rising backlog of cases, especially criminal ones. This issue has been discussed at governance and judicial levels, yet the situation continues to worsen. The author's conscience is compelled to address this proverb due to the severe mental toll on accused individuals in prolonged criminal trials. These delays, spanning years, leave the accused mentally imprisoned and living in torment. The judiciary, known for its sharp discernment, appears inconsistent in criminal cases. Accused individuals endure financial, physical, and mental torture without fault, often for over twenty-five years. If trials concluded within a reasonable five-year period, many could have been exonerated much sooner. Even the cruelest animal shows mercy, yet the current system subjects the accused to prolonged suffering unjustly.

Book Description
We are dealing with a new political form of society whose specificity comes from the articulation between two different traditions. On one side we have the liberal tradition constituted by the rule of law, the defence of human rights and the respect of individual liberty; on the other the democratic tradition whose main ideas are those of equa identity between governing and governed and popular sovereignty. There is no necessary relation between those two distinct traditions but only a contingent historical articulation....Let's not forget that, while we tend today to take the link between liberalism and democracy for granted, their union, far from being a smooth process, was the result of bitter struggles. — Mouffe, The Democratic Paradox. The Unity in Diversity is based on multi wheel and not on mono wheel system. Truth has one face while the untruth has many faces. Truth does not seek for any excuse while the untruth always searches for an excuse. Truth cannot be divided; it is the same for one and all. There has been a growing paradoxical environment in the country not genuinely but due to lack of reasoning and reconciliation which are the offshoots of ego, misunderstanding and confrontation. Today, paradoxes in our democracy are multiplying manifold. Time, we need to take them seriously, search for solutions. These paradoxes include Diversity & Division, Fundamental Duties, Governance and Citizens Moral Values and Human Development. I have analysed them in depth and endeavoured to show their patenting effects in the democratic functioning driving towards haywire and disorderliness. This is setting a negative concept for the future generations, the responsibility for that rests on the present generation.

Book Description
Loud noise and shouting are the weaknesses of the human being. Tearing of papers and throwing of objects not only demonstrate the frustration, also amount to insulting others, also self-insulting. Those who dispute this statement are advised to consult the Holy Scriptures of their Faith that enables self-assessment of one’s own behavioral attitude and pattern. Courteousness and soothing words should the first call. This is the Law of the Nature of which the human is one of the beings and not the only being.

Book Description
Constitution is the basic legal document of a country. The Constitution of India had undergone major evolution, changes, and interpretation by many experts, scholars, judges, etc. Among these, the judiciary played a key role in the interpretation of the Constitution. The judiciary is the custodian of the Indian Constitution and the protector of the Fundamental Rights of an individual. The basic structure doctrine depicts that the Constitution of India has certain basic features that can’t be altered or destroyed through amendments by the parliament. The Parliament has amended the Constitution many times but many of them violated the basic structure. But the Judiciary has saved the basic structure of the Constitution, thus the breakdown of the Constitution. An earnest effort is made in this book to open the eyes of the critics of the judiciary on one or the other pretext or occasion though according to the Doctrine of Separation of Powers, one organ should not interfere with any other organ of the state. That is presumed to include making unpleasant statements against another organ which the Constitution itself does not accept. There is a system of checks and balances wherein the various organs impose checks on one another by certain provisions. The present controversy between Executive and Judiciary Organs could have been well avoided; the controversy raised is in itself controversial.

Book Description
This book explores the joy of living together, especially for married couples. It emphasizes the importance of pausing when love and relationships begin to strain, as this reflection can illuminate the true meaning of love and togetherness. Losing inner confidence and trust, whether among citizens or couples, is akin to trying to save a dying tree—it requires immense effort to restore its vitality. As Tasneem Harneed said, “Learn character from trees, values from roots, and change from leaves.” To embody these values, one must nurture the tree, creating greenery to sustain life’s lessons. Live like a thriving tree, always fostering an environment where everyone can enjoy life.

Book Description
Election financing, freebies and welfare schemes, when prefaced with the democratic structure incorporated in our Constitution and the democratic way of functioning that have taken away the credentials of democracy and seem to blur the democratic system and the underlying spirit. We have made hundreds of laws, rules, regulations, schemes, guidelines but failed to appreciate the fact that without fairness and somewhat seeming transparency in the framework of the democracy we have been following for the last seventy-two years or so which is like painting one’s own face with different colors to evade identification of the flow of funds in the election financing besides those official permitted by the Government of India. Freebies born thereafter as a kin of the election financing now reached a stage where there is a storm brewing. This erodes our performance and achievements with democracy as our base of governance.

Book Description
This book examines cinematic practices in Bollywood as narratives that assist in shaping the imagination of the age, especially in contemporary India. It examines historical films released in India since the new millennium and analyses cinema as a reflection of the changing socio-political and economic conditions at any given period. The chapters in Historicizing Myths in Contemporary India: Cinematic Representations and Nationalist Agendas in Hindi Cinemas also illuminate different perspectives on how cinematic historical representations follow political patterns and market compulsions, giving precedence to a certain past over the other, creating a narrative suited for the dominant narrative of the present. From Mughal-e-Azam to Padmaavat, and Bajirao Mastani to Raazi, the chapters show how creating history out of myths validate hegemonic identities in a rapidly evolving Indian society. The volume will be of interest to scholars of film and media studies, literature and culture studies, and South Asian studies.
