Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Can Gandhi s simple life help reduce our carbon imprint? Does a young and impatient population have anything to learn from the Mahatma non-violent resistance? Yes, says activist-author Bharat Dogra, answering the question, is Gandhi s message relevant for 21st century India? In view of the enormity of the ecological crisis, it is important today to speak of an environment space within which economic and industrial activity should be contained if it is not to become destructive. For example, GM crops and making wine from tea should be no part of India s economy. War-preparations are themselves a huge source of greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions. This book recalls that Badshah Khan s Khudai Khidmatgars were from Taliban land. It imagines how peaceful resistance would have been like in Baghdad (from 2003 to 2011). It revisits Vietnam.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. History is guilty of forgetting the sacrifices of many heroes, without whose contribution independence would never have been possible. Much has been written about our popular leaders, but do we know about the fifteen-year-old who kept shouting slogans while being brutally thrashed in a prison cell, a mother taking the bullet to save her son, or a young female revolutionary consuming poison to avoid capture. Little is known about Bhagat Singh's daring escape with the help of a young mother, the brutal massacre of the Khudai Khidmatgars at the qissa khwani bazaar, or the journalist murdered while saving people during communal riotsthe list is endless. This book attempts to bring to you a few such stories of valour and the lessons we can learn from them.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Several environmental issues are increasingly taking the form of a survival or an existential crisis. It is not just nuclear weapons, but other weapons of mass destruction and the fast-emerging military use of robots/artificial intelligence that pose a threat. The main focus of this book is on these survival threats planet Earth is facing. It emphasises the need for timely solutions before civilisation spins into a crisis from which it cannot recover. The book discusses how these survival issues need to be resolved within a framework of democracy, peace and justice in a fair and equitable manner for all - man, animal, plants, water and air, all an interlinked integral part of life on Earth. Big changes in global governance capable of resolving these issues are needed before it is too late. Planet in Peril is a wake-up call for us to set out our priorities and promote people's movements as the steering wheel for positive change - the only way to save our civilisation. (jacket). …
