Hardbound. Zustand: New. Contents : The Book Overcoming Crisis in Leadership : Indian Army' Provides a window through which the reader can have, firstly, a view of certain crucial issues pertaining to the Indian Army and secondly, an insight into what the author perceives is a malaise infecting the moral and professional fibre of the armed forces, which warrants an earnest soul-searching exercise for prompt rectification. The Book is a rare blend of deep research and analysis, recollections, life-time anecdotes and events that provide valuable leadership lessons. Besides reviewing the recruitment policy, the book analyses and questions the rationale for maintaining a large standing Army which, the author believes, is at the cost of its modernisation and the nation's economic development. The book reviews the existing leadership tenor, with a special reference to erosion in the traditional values, and comes to the finding that while the men and junior leadership in the armed forces have acquitted themselves with credit in all wars and operations since independence, much remains to be desired in the professional and ethical quality of senior leadership. The Quintessence of the work is its concrete recommendations to restore professionalism and traditional values. A Strong case has been made for restructuring the Army, based on the indigenous imperatives, Indianisation of its ethos and reforming the military system. The proposed reforms are viable , merit-based and address some of the crucial problems, from an innovative and realistic angle. 295 pp.

Index. The title aspires to present a panorama of India s yet to be fully discovered martial heritage, denoted by its unconquerable ancient epoch, a critique of the generally misread medieval age vicissitudes, followed by a survey of the contemporary and post-independence travails and triumphs. Not a historical narrative, it attempts to define what constitutes India s natural-born military mind, how it evolved and breasted the world-conquering armies, followed by critical glimpses of the past ordeals, besides its uncelebrated defiance and conquests. The venture culminates in defining the nation s prospective defence and development policy imperatives, for its emerging global role. It is rare in providing in one volume India s scintillating perspective of the past, present and the future. The ardent quest, spanning over twelve years, is a reflective blend of a review of the Vedas, the Epics, relevant Shastras and other select material of help, with the author s long years of rich military operational, planning and instructional experience. Poring over its pages answers many elemental questions, coming naturally to a lay reader, student, research scholar, man-at-arm, defence analyst and the policy maker. The thesis fills a gap by covering a wide range of archeological, historical, politico-military, socio-cultural and strategic and warfare issues, besides dispelling certain myths, which tend to demean India s way of life and war fighting. The scrutiny of the post-independence wars comes to several untold finds. An exclusive study on what motivates men in combat gives the subject an added depth.

Index. Today environment and ecology are the buzzwords. The pace of development and modernisation has endangered the ecological balance of Himalaya. When the British brought railways in India in the late eighteenth century the Himalayan jungles were denuded of vast forests cover due to the demand for sleepers. When in early nineteenth century the Britishers attempted to curb wanton tree felling there arose resentment among the people of Garhwal and Kumaon in Uttarakhand. But in later times those very women folk took to Chipko movement to curb tree felling. The book gives a multitude of ill effects of tree felling ranging from soil erosion to causing floods in the plains and depositing silt. The shrinking of various Himalayan glaciers has also created alarm among the global ecologists and environmentalists. Denudation of forests also has been causing landslides and endangering the wildlife. Now the efforts are being made to avert the man made disaster. This book comes to grips with the magnitude of problem in the entire Himalayan region. 374 pp.

This book presents a panoramic overview of politics and women empowerment in the Himalayan region and North Eastern States Nepal Tibet Bhutan Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. It brings into sharp contrast the fragile Himalayan ecology due to continuous seismic activities and movements in the plates tectonics and the increasing militarisation wars and armed conflicts in the hilly regions. The Chipko Movement launched initially by a few women brought into focus the mindless exploitation of the forest resources and the related issues. Unrest in Sikkim over Rathong Chu Hydel Project and Maoist emergence in Nepal show their peculiar political slant. Political economic and religious relations between Mongolia and Tibet had its own mutual effects. In Uttarakhand the women seemed powerful and influential due to their participation in Chipko and the agitation for the separate state. In actual fact they are very vulnerable due to prevailing polygamy polyandry and illiteracy. The book is indispensable for serious readers and research scholars. 392 pp.
