Hardcover. Zustand: New. Few figures in modern India have enjoyed such acclaim and adoration as Jayaprakash Narayan. And yet, he has been equally vilified for all that went wrong in the unfinished post-colonial movement for freedom and democracy. Jayaprakash Narayan, or JP as he was universally known, epitomized the Marxian and Gandhian styles of political engagement, and famously brought a powerful government to its knees. Throughout his life, he channelled an emotional hunger for transformative politics, jettisoned easy options, shunned power and incubated revolutionary ideas. A comprehensive study of JP's life and ideas-from the radicalism of his thought process at American university campuses in the 1920s to his political coming of age in the 1930s and subsequent disenchantment with Gandhi's leadership; from his infectious confidence about the future of socialism to his seemingly naive plans to outmanoeuvre powerful forces within the Congress; from his fractious friendship with Jawaharlal Nehru to his relentless crusade against the stifling of dissent-The Dream of Revolution, Bimal and Sujata Prasad's rigorously researched biography of JP, dispenses with clichés, questions commonly held perceptions and pushes the limits of what a biographical portrait is capable of. Rich in anecdotes and never-before-told stories, this book explores the ambiguities and ironies of a life lived at the barricades and one man's unremitting quest to usher in a society based on equality and freedom.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Indias Foreign policy has a historial back ground which has not so far been systematically studied. The india National Congress, the main organization that carried the strughle for national freedom, showed interest in question of foreign policy right form its birth in 1885. this interest, at first limited, grew with the broadening of its general political outlook. Gradually, certain principles on foreign policy and certain ways of looking at world affairs evloved. These become the foundations of indias foreign policy when she emerged as a free country on 15 Augest, 1947 anad form the subject of the present study. The importance of this subject is further underlined by the role of Jawaharlal Nehru. As Indias Prime Minister and Minister for External Affairs he was the chief architect of her foreign policy; earlier he had also been largely responsible for shaping the Congress outlook on world affairs from 1927 0nwards. The Nehru Legacy in Indias Foreign Policy has been continuing to guide Indias forgein policy to a large extent even after the passing away of Nehru. Hence a study of the evolution of Indian foreign policy during the period of struggle for independence will, it is hoped, also deepen our understanding of Indias foreign policy today. Nothing is stationary in this world, certainly not foreign policy. It changes according to circumstances and conceptions of national interests. But our understanding of every phenomenon is improved by a study of its antecedents. This is part of the justification of all historical writing. This is also the assumption behind the present study. We shall be able to understand Indias foreign policy better if we are familiar wiwth the attitude of the Indian National Congress towards affairs between 1885 and 1947.

Hardbound. Zustand: As New. New. Jayaprakash Narayan (1902 79) was one of the most prominent leaders and thinkers that India has produced in modern times. Although he never sought power for himself he played a major role not only in the struggle for independence but also in the socialist and Sarvodaya movements and finally in the movement for strengthening democracy popularly known as the J.P. Movement. This series of volumes has been planned with a view to presenting as comprehensive a picture as possible of the evolution of J.P.'s political life and thought through his writings speeches and letters. As he was in many ways a mirror of his times it is hoped that the series will also provide glimpses of the main currents of ideas and movements during the times in which he lived and worked. The present volume covers the period May 1960 to January 1966. Among the contents the most notable is Swaraj for the People published in 1961. Here J.P. Stresses the need for strengthening the institutions of Panchayati Raj by endowing them with financial autonomy and real powers of governance in areas within their jurisdictions. Further J.P. also wants to give them a role in electing members of the provincial assemblies and parliament a major step according to him in moving from a parliamentary to a participatory democracy. The volume also contains numerous speeches statements and letters to the then Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Lal Bahadur Shastri on various problems facing the country like Kashmir Nagaland controversy on the issue of official language and recurrence of Hindu Muslim riots. The volume also contains several statements and speeches by J.P. on India china discord which finally culminated in the Chinese invasion of 1962. 760 pp.

Jayaprakash Narayan (1902 79) was one of the most prominent leaders and thinkers that India has produced in modern times. Although he never sought power for himself he played a major role not only in the struggle for independence but also in the socialist and Sarvodaya movements and finally in the movement for strengthening democracy popularly known as the J.P. movement. This series of volumes has been planned with a view to presenting as comprehensive a picture as possible of the evolution of J.P.'s political life and thought through his writings speeches and letters. As he was in many ways a mirror of his times it is hoped that the series will also provide glimpses of the main currents of ideas and movements during the times in which he lived and worked. The present volume covers a period of four years (1950 4). Those years witnessed several important political developments such as the holding of the first general elections in India (1952) the formation of the Praja Socialist Party as a result of the merger of the Socialist Party and the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party (1952) the failure of the talks between Nehru and J.P. (initiated by the former) in order to ensure cooperation between the Congress and the PSP (1953) and controversy over them in the ranks of the PSP growing involvement of J.P. in the Bhoodan Gramdan movement and his announcement of Jeevandan. J.P.'s deep interest in the struggles of various trade unions till 1952 are also fully covered through his addresses to their members as also his correspondence with the officials and cabinet ministers at the centre as well as in Bihar. The same applies to J.P.'s deep interest in the fight for democracy in Nepal. 562 pp.

This volume the third in the trilogy on the Pathway to India's Partition shows the key role played by Jinnah in the last phase of the journey to that goal. It also proves the hollowness of the so called revisionist thesis that although claiming to work for the creation of Pakistan Jinnah actually did not believe in that demand and was really working for a compromise which might succeed in bringing about a strong Central Government for a united India and that this had indeed been the real objective of the Pakistan Resolution of 1940 an absurd proposition. The contents of this volume also reveal the absurdity of the view propounded by the revisionists and others that if in spite of Jinnah's efforts to the contrary India had to be divided and Pakistan created this was due to the mistakes of the Congress leaders. Finally the volume illustrates the acute agony experienced by Gandhi who looked upon the prospect of partition with extreme pain and abhorrence and still felt compelled to go along with the proposal for partition as accepted by the Congress Working Committee and asked the members of the All India Congress Committee to do the same on the ground that in the communally surcharged atmosphere in India in 1947 there was really no other alternative. 646 pp.
