As insurgencies erupted across India, and grew increasingly more sophisticated in the 1980s and ’90s, the security establishment struggled to keep up. Increasingly overwhelmed, the police forces, intelligence agencies, federal investigation agencies, tax departments and the like came up with ingenious—at times sinister—solutions: from faking and framing evidence to staging massive terror attacks and even creating terrorist organisations. Over time, militancy became a flourishing, multi-faceted business enterprise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the Kashmiri militancy to the Sri Lankan civil war, from the attack on Mumbai to the long-term unrest in the Northeast, India’s ‘war on terror’ has made its security institutions more nationalistic and chauvinistic and, inevitably, more corrupt.

The question is, why do so many people across divisions of caste, religion and gender vote for a party with unapologetically aggressive Hindutva politics? Are its much-publicised development schemes, whatever their flaws, the big pull factor? Or the active mobilisation of the RSS cadre to its cause? In this fascinating revisionist history, political scientist and journalist Nalin Mehta examines how the BJP became the world’s largest political party. He goes beyond the usual narrative of the party’s Hindutva politics to explain how, under Narendra Modi, it reshaped the Indian polity using its own brand of social engineering. This reconstruction was cleverly powered by new caste coalitions, the claim of a new welfare state that focused on marginalised social groups and the making of a women voter base.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBased on data from three unique indices—the Mehta–Singh Social Index, which studies the caste composition of Indian political parties; the Narad Index, which calculates communication patterns across topics and audiences; and Poll Niti, which connects and tallies hundreds of political and economic datasets—The New BJP’s full of startling insights into the way both the party and the country function.

Is the Vedic approach to death different from the Tantric one? The idea of death and rebirth is embedded in the Hindu mind through ritual and story. Death is not just tragic, but ambiguous too. For instance, it is the end of one journey, but it is also the beginning of another. Similarly, while it is true that the ancestors are venerated and fed posthumously, death is also considered inauspicious, a source of impurity. There are a variety of rituals that seek to address these ambiguities, provide comfort to the living and deliverance to the dead.\u003cbr\u003eIn Garuda Purana and Other Hindu Ideas on Death, Rebirth and Immortality, Devdutt Pattanaik explores the many concepts around death across the spectrum of Hindu puranas and mythology.

His expulsion marked yet anotherow in the troubled relationship between the two neighbours who had been born within a day of each other in 1947. Theatest diplomatic row followed the dismantling of Article 370 in the erstwhile state of Jammu \u0026amp; Kashmir, but the hostility had been ratcheting up for a while, with the Pakistani terror attack in Pulwama, followed by the Indian airstrikes on terrorists in Balakot, and the grandstanding Pakistan engaged in over the return of a captured Indian Air Force pilot, Abhinandan Varthaman. This bookooks in eye-opening detail at all these incidents that took place while the author was India’s top diplomat in Pakistan, including blunders by Imran Khan, the then Pakistani prime minister, and parleys engaged in by the powerful head of the Pakistani army, General Qamar Bajwa. He also describes his interactions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, and key members of the Indian establishment as they dealt with the multiple crises that took place during that time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter providing readers with a gripping account of the events he was witness to, the author goes deep into the conflict and tension that have characterized the connection between the countries. Heooks at this fractious history from a unique perspective, that of Indian diplomats who have served in Pakistan from Independence onwards. These were the people responsible for managing the situation on the ground, even as the actions of prime ministers, presidents, and generals made the news headlines. India’s envoys were expected to deal with all manner of occurrences from routine matters to rather more taxing things such as dealing with dictators, engaging in backchannel talks with their counterparts and other Pakistani officials (accounts of which have only recently been declassified) when ties were strained, dodging spies, and even on occasion having to endure verbal and physical abuse from thugs and the Pakistani intelligence services. Equally, for all the stresses they had to endure, the warmth and friendship they received from ordinary Pakistanis made many of them hope that one day the cantankerousness and bloodshed that blighted Indo-Pak ties would be replaced by normalcy, if not enduring bonds of warmth and amity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stories about what these diplomats were able to do during their time in Pakistan provide the reader with fresh insights into most of the pivotal moments in the relationship—especially Partition, the 1948 Pakistani offensive that was stopped in its tracks by the prompt action of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and the even bigger wars of 1965 (ably handled by Prime Ministeral Bahadur Shastri), 1971 (in which Prime Minister Indira Gandhi won a resounding victory), and 1999 (where the Pakistani intruders were repulsed by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s decisiveeadership). The book throws freshight on terrorism in Kashmir, the skirmishes across theine of Control, the attacks by Pakistani terrorists in Mumbai, and the assault on the Indian parliament. Further, the book covers the few initiatives that sought to resolve the perennial state of strife and suspicion between the neighbours—the Simla Accord of July 1972, Vajpayee’s historic bus journey toahore in 1999, the Agra Summit of 2001, and other short-lived attempts to make new beginnings. Besides his in-depth analysis of history and current events, the author offers a reasoned plan of how India and Pakistan might be able to arrive at aasting peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMasterfully blending scholarship, telling revelations, memoir, and history, Anger Management is a remarkable study of the diplomatic engagement between India and Pakistan.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"BEETLE BOOK SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52302196637979,"sku":null,"price":849.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/2150\/0699\/files\/9789393852755.MAIN_6997bb4c-3105-4bd8-996a-b5ada356a360.jpg?v=1780729384"},{"product_id":"what-if-there-was-no-congress-the-uncensored-history-of-independent-india-priyam-gandhi-mody","title":"What If There Was No Congress: The Uncensored History of Independent India - Priyam Gandhi-Mody","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"13\"\u003eWhat If There Was No Congress\u003c\/b\u003e is a provocative, deeply researched rethink of modern Indian political history. \u003cspan class=\"citation-1949 citation-end-1949\"\u003eTaking its cue from a question posed in Parliament, this bold non-fiction work examines how different India’s trajectory might have been if a different political landscape had emerged after Independence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,1,1\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-1948 citation-end-1948\"\u003eSynopsis:\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"3\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-1947 citation-end-1947 interactive-span-hovered\"\u003eJust three days before his tragic assassination in 1948, Mahatma Gandhi wrote that the Congress party in its current form had \"outlived its use\" and should be disbanded.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"4\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"citation-1946 citation-end-1946 interactive-span-hovered\"\u003eBut what would the Bharat of today look like if his final counsel had been heeded?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-1945 citation-end-1945\"\u003ePolitical communications expert and bestselling author Priyam Gandhi-Mody systematically revisits the monumental milestones that defined India over the last eighty years.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"6\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"citation-1944 citation-end-1944\"\u003eFrom the trauma of Partition and the geopolitical complexities of Kashmir to the realities of economic policy, governance, systemic scams, and foreign relations, this book challenges established political narratives.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"7\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"citation-1943 citation-end-1943\"\u003eIt provides a raw, unfiltered look at historical events, encouraging readers to use their own judgment to understand past mistakes and look toward a roadmap for the India of tomorrow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BEETLE BOOK SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52302213579035,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/2150\/0699\/files\/9789357028936.MAIN.jpg?v=1780730712"},{"product_id":"why-bharat-matters-s-jaishankar","title":"Why Bharat Matters - S.
