Soft cover. Zustand: New. When did the criminalization of politics actually begin in India? How did 'booth-capturing' begin as a way of influencing elections, and who were the politicians that patronized it? Who is the man, virtually unknown today, who could be considered an originator of the criminal-politician nexus in the country? This book tells the true story of Kamdev Singh (1930-1980), a semi-literate cowherd from Bihar's Begusarai who would go on to hobnob with Delhi's political elite. The street-smart Kamdev went from selling coal to trading ganja, and was soon the biggest smuggler of contraband in the region, his operations stretching all along the Indo-Nepal border and in major Indian cities like Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur. By the late 1960s, Kamdev had become a political wheeler-dealer. For decades, his writ ran state politics. Political parties used his muscle power to take on rivals and affect the course of elections. This culture of criminalization continued in Indian politics long after the don's death. This book also provides a glimpse into Kamdev Singh's benevolence - he would fund marriages and organize last rites for families that couldn't afford to. This ensured popular affection in his stronghold, and made it difficult for law enforcement to arrest him. He was finally killed in 1980, in a massive police operation during a period of governor's rule in Bihar, when there was little chance of intervention from his political patrons.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. One day Green asked Saffron: what keeps you so vibrant? Saffron smiled: a lot of Green inside me. Once upon a time, the Eastern Indian state of Bihar provided space for socialism to take centre stage. As a new government takes Office in Bihar, the book JP to BJP: Bihar after Lalu and nitish looks closely at the process of saffronisation that has taken place in this landscape, more marked than any other by milestones of political shifts and movements. Author, journalist Santosh Singh tracks the important socialists on the National stage for the last 75 years; traces the rise and fall of socialist and coalition governments in Patna and new Delhi; defines for us the sifting sand of opportunistic politics and an invisible future. The book answers many burning questions such as: why the man who had sought to counter Narendra Modi's 'congress-mukt Bharat' line with his vow of a 'sangh-mukt Bharat' walk away from being the emerging nucleus of opposition politics? Which top rjd leader did Prem Chand Gupta accompany to meet BJP leader Arun Jaitley in Delhi, and why..…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This excellent set of essays departs from viewing India's villages either as eulogized utopias or as complete wastelands. The volume offers very readable essays and opens our eyes to the entanglements of socialities, politics, history and economies that make contemporary village India a vigorous site, straddling past and present. - Radhika Chopra. Formerly Professor of Sociology, University of Delhi This book is a reminder to those who no longer wish to see the realities of the nation beyond their gated communities and its selective/seductive media-images. Two-thirds of India continues to live in its villages, numbering more than half a million. Covering a wide range of themes, the essays in the volume provide a rich variety of engagements with the emerging and diverse realities of India's rural lands. - Surinder S Jodhka, Professor of Sociology, Jawaharlal Nehru University In the time of agrarian crisis and movement, Remembering India's Villages centralises the wholesomeness of rural India examining its stubborn past and the dynamic present. Departing from the myth of little republics it sees villages in cinema, development discourses, and debates among the founders of modern India like Gandhi, Nehru, Tagore and Ambedkar. Empirical research, multidisciplinary perspective, and cross-cultural insights are useful aids in this book toward understanding the reality of the rural that comprises structural anomalies and social possibilities. The book remembers India's villages under the trope of reconstitution rather than disappearance. The book adds to the renewed interest in village studies, rural sociology, development studies and intellectual history.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Karpoori Thakur, often called Jannayak, was a legendary leader from Bihar who had a significant impact on India's politics. In early 2024, he was posthumously honoured with the Bharat Ratna in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to society. Commemorating his birth centenary, this gripping biography brings to light the life, legacy and enduring relevance of Thakur. It focuses on Karpoori Thakur's politics, which introduced 'quota within quota' and opens a window to his role in bifurcating reservation among the backward classes and women in 1978. Deeply researched, anecdotal and unputdownable, The Jannayak promises to be a beacon for readers seeking to understand the complex landscape of Indian politics and society.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. More than a decade ago, intrigued by his encounter with a few people and a chance discussion about their religious beliefs, Santosh K. Singh began delving deeper into the phenomenon of the dera. What followed thereafter was an extensive engagement with this belief system. The dera culture in Punjab has an ancient history and stands on philosophically rich terrain. Deras are reflective of South Asia's fluid, sacred geography and its propensity to constantly and seamlessly engage in multiple conversations within itself. Be it the hugely influential Dera Sachkhand Ballan, the controversial Dera Sacha Sauda or the many other deras dotting the landscape--all of these are complex institutions. They have a rich diversity of histories of time, people and communities that both draw from the past and negotiate with the present to carve out a new future. The Deras is an effort to discuss this fascinating and emancipatory realm, and prevent it from getting boxed in a narrow, sectarian and parochial framework. …
