Paperback. Zustand: Good. India is a democracy at bay. This compelling book puts the spotlight not on political leaders but on the murky workings of India's deep state--from the police to the federal investigative and intelligence agencies. Traversing the Mumbai train blasts, the Kashmir insurgency, the Gujarat 'war on terror' and the Delhi riots, Josy Joseph reveals corruption and political agendas running through the core of agencies that should ensure justice and accountability, and shows how this has undermined democracy. In 2020, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, India's democratic pillars suffered another blow: the arrest of activists, dissidents and journalists opposed to Narendra Modi's government, some on dubious charges, others under stringent anti-terror laws. Some contend that Modi has simply perfected the art of subverting a democratic state's security establishment, bending it to his will. With false arrests, the overlooking of right-wing Hindu terror, an establishment bias against Muslims and an unenviable human rights record that has often relied on extrajudicial killings or false testimonies, India's domestic security institutions have become just another player in pursuit of power. How did this happen? And why does India, the world's largest democracy, often subvert the very ideals of democratic politics when dealing with security challenges. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. WHILE JAWAHARLAL NEHRU, M.A. JINNAH AND OTHER PROMINENT LEADERS SPARRED AND DEBATED IN PUBLIC, AND LORD MOUNTBATTEN READIED HIMSELF TO BECOME THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF TWO NASCENT DEMOCRACIES, A SMALL GROUP OF CIVIL SERVANTS QUIETLY ANTICIPATED-AND SOUGHT TO PREVENT- THE EVENTUAL BALKANISATION OF INDIA. 25 July-14 August 1947: These were the twenty-one days that made India. When Josy Joseph stumbles across dusty, neglected archival files in the course of his research, he is astounded by the material it holds. Bringing his investigative nous to historical research, Joseph stitches together a richly detailed account of how India came to be-and how very close it came to being splintered into several independent princely states and a small republic. The Birth of a Nation follows the work of the newly set-up States Department led by Sardar Patel, and its group of determined officials. They were pitted against a coterie of ruling families and their wily advisors who had declared their independence. The fiercest Hindu kingdom was in alliance with orthodox Muslim rulers. These states were building diplomatic relations with foreign nations; lying to Mountbatten, Nehru and Patel; preparing to print their own currencies; building relations with Jinnah and making strategic moves to defend themselves against military action by the Nehru government. They had significant support from a section of the British, Jinnah, the Hindu Mahasabha and the Muslim League. This is the Indian history citizens need, to appreciate just how hard-won the sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic of India is-and how fragile and precious that idea is.…
