The Achaemenids developed an ingenious irrigation system in their satrapies situated in the North-Western India, for the benefit of the agriculture and also provided a fillip to the westerly commerce of this region by opening the trade routes. Artisans, scribes and artists from Persia sought refuge in India, gained patronage and enriched the Mauryan age. Gaining lessons from the political experiences and mistakes of the Achaemenids, the Mauryans formed a sturdy centralised administration in India. They organised a court culture heavily influenced by Persian traditions and etiquette. From the first christening of India as "Hindv" to the present day, Indo-Iranian contacts have been largely harmonious, complimentary and beneficial for the human heritage. May it be the development of language, grammar, script and the exposition in shape of poetry (shayari, ghazal, nazm, rubayi) and music (qawwali) or the expression in fine arts, calligraphy (nashtaliq, kufic), painting (Mughal miniatures), sculpture (Pillar capitals of Ashokan monoliths) and architecture (Kumrahar Palace to the Taj Mahal); or in the field of philosophy (Zoroastrian and Manichean), mysticism (Tassawuf) and thought (Sufism); or the disciplines of knowledge for human welfare like medicine, sciences, mathematics etc., the Indo-Iranian interaction remains a remarkable contribution to mankind. Indo-Iranian interaction encompasses many different facets e.g., political, social and economic interaction; art, architecture; religion, philosophy including Zoroastrianism and Sufism; literature, epic and poetry; language and calligraphy; life-styles and court culture etc. during all the periods of history, from ancient to the contemporary."

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. China's Ambivalent Vision of India: Persistent Attitude and Shifting Perceptions. 3. Evolving Contours of Regional Geopolitics: An Assessment of Chinese Perspectives. 4. Making Sense of Modi's India: Chinese Perceptions about India during the Xi Era. 5. India-China Rivalry: Asymmetric No Longer. 6. Future Contours of India-China Rivalry and India's Options. Index. In recent years, there has been growing interest in deciphering the nature and contours of bilateral dynamics between India and China, since the contours bilateral dynamics between the two rising powers have potential implications for the evolving geopolitical order in the region and even beyond. This book is not about understanding the nature of rivalry dynamics between India and China but prominently focuses on China's mental and emotional image of India, which has remained an underexplored dimension in contemporary scholarship. The aim of the book is two-fold. First, this book is an effort to analyse China's contemporary perceptual image about India primarily through the analysis of Chinese publications on the subject. Second, this book questions the prevalent notion of characterising India-China rivalry as 'one-sided' or 'asymmetric.' Unarguably, power asymmetry, with substantial Chinese advantage, has been a persistent characteristic of India-China relations and is likely to remain or even grow further. India, being weaker in this dyad, naturally has a greater threat perception vis-à-vis China. However, this apparent power asymmetry does not provide China with an overwhelming advantage over India. The book argues that India has been and continues to be a 'strategic rival' in Chinese perception even though it is not categorised by China as its 'principal rival.' In the contemporary period, as India expands its defence capabilities, extends its regional outreach and deepens its engagement with major powers, Beijing has begun to factor New Delhi into its strategic calculus even more seriously.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The present book is an outcome of a Research Project Sponsored by the University Grants Commission (UGC), New Delhi. The centre of the study is a community locally known as 'Coal Cyclewallahs' in the eastern coal tracts of India. The work highlights the community living in and around the functional open cast coal mines in the Ramgarh district (Jharkhand), falling under 40-60 km from the state capital Ranchi. An interesting case of spatial injustice for a community living in and around the three open cast functional coal mines in the study area. These villages have historically been subject to discrimination and apathy owing to their spatial disadvantages. Coal as an energy resource indispensable to a nation's industrial progress is solely claimed by the government of the land, however, those uprooted though been compensated, are not on the just side of the distributive spatial justice. Interestingly, those living away from the point of mining activities are far away and not within the limits of the acquired land for mining but well within the geography to face the devastating consequences of environmental degradation in form of overburdens, derelict bad land and pervasive pollution. The approach of the study has been quantitative along with participatory. The survey-based study is compiled in the form of a book spread over four chapters. The myths surrounding the cycle wallah community are addressed through academic inroads. Among the many misconceptions, the widespread is, the Cyclewallahs into the illegal trade. The two-stage field survey included the individual coal- carrier on the bicycle and his family members in the second stage household survey. The household survey of the non-coal- carriers was also conducted to have a comparative analysis and perspective. The book is designed to look into the socio-economic lives along with the livelihood pattern and hazards vulnerability through field study substantiated by liberal use of statistical tools. The study undertakes comparative analysis to figure out which among the communities residing in the geographical proximity of an operational coal mine is more subjected to spatial injustice, reflected through their livelihood vulnerability and resilience. Apart from those drawing their livelihood through the illegal trade (Informal bicycle Coal Carriers), there is a substantial number of persons working in collieries and washeries, formally or informally hired by the Coal mining companies. The book clubs such informal users of the coal into two broad categories, one who completely depends for their livelihood on the informal marketing of the purchased illegally occupied coal and that too on bicycles, carrying it to distant places. The other category consists of those who are into illegal acquisition (largely from the coal dumping sites) and marketing of coal (to the bicycle wallahs in gunny / plastic bags), but have other sources of income including subsistence farming. The two communities with special emphasis on the Informal Coal carriers on Bicycles and their livelihood centred around the illegal trade of coal are investigated. The sight of persons with coal stuffed in ragtag bags loaded in a cycle modified to bear the incredible weight, pushing uphill on a circuitous road up to fifty-sixty kilometres, to eke a livelihood, stirs lots of curiosity. The book is an academic sojourn into the lives of the informal coal carriers on bicycles. The focus remains on the socio-economic lives, livelihoods, hazard vulnerability, and coping strategies. The book manages to create arguments based upon socio-spatial injustice, where indifference, trust deficiency, erroneous conception and lack of sympathetic approach from the government and the mining companies have further alienated and cocooned the community into a vicious cycle where perhaps there is no light even at the end of the tunnel.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The idea for this book emerged in the course of discussions during the initial stages of the Ukraine War. It was, however, realised that any attempt at drawing lessons prematurely could lead to misleading conclusions. Accordingly, instead of absolutist conjectures, the book is an exercise in identifying broader trends. Much water has flown under the bridge since then. Along the way, the world has been introduced to an array of new sophisticated weapons, missiles and drones that question the very relevance of established battlefield platforms such as tanks, for instance. In this volume, the contributors address several aspects of the war in an attempt to explain, elaborate and challenge existing notions with the larger aim of drawing lessons for policymakers and professionals alike. Ukraine War: Military Perspectives and Strategic Reflections, presents a comprehensive assessment of the ongoing conflict. Divided into five sections, the book delves into the geopolitical backdrop of the conflict, highlights its operational narrative, dissects the components of military power, explores the impact of disruptive technologies and examines the strategic ramifications of this ongoing war.
