Indian engagement with the Southeast Asian region extends beyond recent conceptualisations to periods when connectivity was defined not just in strategic but also in cultural terms. Close cultural interaction between India and Southeast Asia began in prehistoric times and continued until the beginning of colonial rule. And in the new millennium, India is trying its best to reconnect with the region with its "Look East" policy, and to strengthen its engagement by Acting East. It is undeniable that India views the region as a crucial partner today and there are vital concerns that both regions share. But contemporary concerns should not overshadow the broader issues that have been important to both regions through the ages. The current volume looks at different issues and perceptions of the region. Issues like borders, security, disputes are analysed alongside issues like religion, culture and traditions. Some retrospectives essays also attempt to question lost opportunities in Indian foreign policy and prescribe how India should look at the region. India's connection and engagement with the region has therefore been analysed and re-imagined. An interesting feature of this book is that it is an attempt by scholars in Kolkata and Hanoi to bring together their ideas and research on states, borders and religion. (jacket).…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. The post-2014 situation in Afghanistan following the drawdown of the US/NATO/ International Security Assistance Force, has been the subject of a most perplexing debate in recent times with the major obscurity lying in predicting the actual intentions of various actors involved in the Afghan imbroglio. Fixated on Afghanistan`s looming challenges, often a bleak picture of the embattled country`s future has been drawn in the international media and academia which anticipated that the volatility of Afghanistan would lead to regional instability and colossal security challenges, especially in the period beyond 2014. However, the narrative of despair was supplemented by a narrative of opportunity where proposals envisioning Afghanistan`s role as a fulcrum for trade and cooperation were being drawn up on the basis of an argument that hegemonic prescriptions do not sustain themselves. Nation-building, it was said, could proceed on the basis of economic development, social harmony, rule of law and participatory democracy in consonance with the wishes of the Afghan people ; and that a regional order which is yet to emerge is a pressing need in order to avoid intensified regional rivalry. Contemporary Afghanistan still remains a complex milieu characterised by powerful and competing agendas. Variables like the Taliban insurgency, the capabilities of the Afghan National Security Forces, presence of international troops, policies of the United States, the internal power struggle and the regional dynamics are fast evolving. India, an active player in Afghanistan, remains legitimately concerned about the kind of role it is to play under such circumstances. The post-2014 situation and the possibility of an international withdrawal necessitates sharing concerns, evaluating the contingencies and preparing ahead. The aim of this volume is to provide an appraisal of the post 2014 narrative of hope and despair. It deals with themes such as: internal political dynamics and power-struggle in Afghanistan, criticalities of security transition in Afghanistan, reconciliation between the other ethnic groups and the Taliban, possibilities of an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led process, regional security and the role of the regional countries, global response to the Afghan issue, India`s and Pakistan`s security dilemma vis-a-vis Afghanistan and India`s workable response.…

India in Afghanistan: The Saga of India's role in Afghanistan's political future/Yow Peter Raiphea. Arpita Basu Roy and Srimanti Sarkar Is Afghanistan's political future at an impasse? There are both internal and external reasons supporting a response in the affirmative. Although considerable gains were made in the country following the 2001 international intervention, increasing insurgent attacks threaten the fledging post-Taliban government while strategies of regional and sometimes extra-regional states threaten to destabilize and weaken it from the outside. Efforts to guarantee stability continue to be undermined by the implications of a political settlement with the Taliban and other armed opposition groups. The purpose of this volume is to critically examine the functioning of the present political arrangement and gaze into the possible alternative political scenarios, factoring in the role of various stakeholders such as the different ethnic groups, the insurgents, the warlords, the traditional political institutions in Afghan society. It discusses options like federalism and the problem of ethnic diversity, parliamentary or presidential forms of government, the question of neutrality of Afghanistan, the problem of traditional and modern political institutions, resurgent groups and the role of regional and extra-regional powers in Afghanistan's political future.…

Did the International intervention in Afghanistan in 2001 lead to the creation of unrealistic expectations on the part of the Afghan peoples? What were the negative effects of the use of force? These are some of the urgent questions that this volume seeks to answer. It questions the rationale for occupation by the intervening power. How and to what extent is this intervention plagued by problems of will and capacity? The issue of humanitarian intervention has the potential to divide international institutions such as the UN and damage their credibility. The volume also questions what kind of scenario is likely to develop, both within Afghanistan and in there region, in the case of withdrawal of international forces. The volume has developed out of an international seminar organised by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Institute of Asian Studies in collaboration with Indian Council of World Affairs, aiming to bring together the perspectives of academicians, UN officials, journalists and military personnel.

While challenging the traditional notion of national security it argues that the proper referent for security should be the individual rather than the state. Defined as the protection of the vital core of all human lives in ways that enhance human freedoms and fulfillment, Human Security also means protecting people from critical and pervasive threats and situations. It is often ignored that Human Security threats like poverty, unemployment and disease, which remain an important cause of insecurity and are connected to bigger problems like terrorism, insurgency, arms, and drugs trafficking, are therefore crucial for stability. This connect makes the paradigm of Human Security relevant in the context of Afghanistan. This book argues that Human Security provides the conceptual bridge capable of linking military tactics with the broader strategic objectives pursued by the international community in Afghanistan. Application of the principles of human security may be a means by which the deficiencies of past military practice can be redressed, and this will likely result in greater success for state-building, reconstruction, and counterinsurgency aspects of the Afghan mission. The book argues favourably for developing a Human Security regime in South Asia where the institutions created on specific issues could be secular (not based on primordial identities) and temporary, and thus would never jeopardize the legitimacy of the state. Further, accountable functioning of the functional institutions would add strength to the nation-states ability to deliver and would thus facilitate the integration of various primordial identities into the national mainstreams of the nation states they are part of. It is an argument favouring the reconstruction of an alternative notion of security for Afghanistan in the South Asian Security Paradigm.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The present book a new of its kind, dealt with production of galvanic current in water, moist cotton, and soil media to stimulate germination of seeds, growth of seedlings to flower and fruit bearing plants. In different chapters of the book, an outline has been given on the characteristics and present application of galvanic current, factors affecting plant growth, ion exchange in plant roots, soil cation exchange capacity and diffusion process. Electrochemical potential around plant roots in relation to metabolism and growth acceleration has been described elaborately in the relative chapter of the book. Forty one sets of experiments have been carried out for last four years to observe the effect of galvanic current in germination of seeds, growth of seedlings and plants to bear flower and fruits in different growing media. Formation and growth of roots from rhizomes, buds were also investigated. In all twenty variety of seeds, seedlings and plants have been studied during the period. The result of the investigations, indicated that in few majority of cases, the beneficial effect of the influence of galvanic current have been observed in germination of seeds, growth of plants and bearing flowers and fruits, depending on the application of galvanic current, including its magnitude. A comparison has also been made on the effect of galvanic current and externally applied current with respect of germination of seeds. This book will open a new avenue for future research in this regards and will be helpful to teachers, students and research scholars of colleges and universities.…
