Hardcover. Zustand: New. Agenda and Ideologies: Thoughts on Congress, Communism, Fascism and Others encapsulates Indian society from the days when even a telephone without a dial was a luxury to the Internet revolution and modern communication. From the 1955 flirtation with socialism that stymied India's economic growth, to its jettisoning in 1991, ushering in liberalism, Prafull Goradia has been a witness to it all. The journey from Nehruvian politics to Modism - the reframing of West Asian relations by rapprochement with UAE and Israel, the Ayodhya saga of Babri Masjid and Ram Mandir, the rise and fall of Marxism and Fascism in the world, a new dawn for women in the armed forces and the deductive logic of Abrahamic faiths versus the inductive logic of Hinduism - Goradia's range of discourse leaves the reader spellbound. The book is a bird's eye view from someone who has grown up in the dawn of Independence and provides incisive insight into the last seven decades of free India.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. A Tale of Two Temples and Other Essays takes the readers on an interesting journey from Nehruvian socialism to Kamala Harris, the first woman vice president of the USA; from Covid and Karma to why Muslim migrants are no longer welcome in France. The author questions why educated families do not encourage their children to make a career in politics. He also analyses why madarsas can't be secular. He refers to the UNO as a "Useless Non-existent Organization" whose catalogue of failures has been listed since 1948.The article 'Travancore Stood for Tolerance' introduces us to Koji Kawashima, the Japanese scholar who researched the Hindu state of Travancore between 1858 and 1936 highlighting its tolerance of other religions. Having lived in Kolkata (Calcutta) for thirty-eight years, the author calls Kolkata: a city with a soul, that values its cultural ethos and where elite club membership is for those who are socio-culturally acceptable, unlike Delhi which values position and wealth. The articles present a vast panorama of topics from the past to the present, both of India and the world.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. The cocktail of subjects touched upon in Jinnah helped Hindus and Other Reflections may surprise some readers by their diversity. From a young boy questioning why with a galaxy of freedom fighters, we have Gandhi's portrait on all our currency notes, especially when money was his last concern to how Jinnah actually helped Hindus. Why Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, who welcomed Muslim migrants with open arms, is today offering them 3000 Euros as a return package? Many of the essays ask truly relevant questions. According to the author the Babri Masjid should be called Babri maqbarah since it is not a masjid. How acute is the threat of Islamisation of Europe? What is the future of minorities in Pakistan? Why did Jinnah call the Aligarh Muslim University the 'arsenal of Pakistan'? Prafull Goradia also analyses why Indians still prefer sarkari jobs over others and what the causes of the failure of State Capitalism are. In the essay 'Cricket in Need of a Revolution' the author is critical of the fact that India has only one competitive international cricket team. Almost the same players play Test matches, One-dayers as well as twenty-20s. Why? We overstrain these players and might even be risking the quality of their game. Every reader will find something of interest in this collection of essays.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. India repeatedly swears by democracy but we forget how undemocratically we selected our first Prime Minister. Of the 16 Pradesh Congress Committees across the country, 15 opted for Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel while one chose Acharya J B Kripalani. This book asks the pertinent question, what if Sardar Patel had been India's first Prime Minister? Would India's political and development trajectories be different It also discusses Patel's thoughts on Partition and the East Bengal problem that finally led to the formation of Bangladesh. His views on independent Princely states, on China and Communists and his views on planning and economic outlook are also explored. The ifs and buts of history are of course debatable. But was this a decision that changed the destiny of a nation and its people.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Population Exchange: Jinnah Wanted Hijrat for all Muslims in India looks into the rationale of the Muslim League's proposal of a population transfer in the context of the Partition of India. The justification lay in the argument of how different Hindus were from Muslims, and therefore, how indispensable a vivisection was for them to live in peace. The 'best protection for the minorities will be the establishment of two strong states, neither of which will dare misbehave towards each other's minorities'. Jinnah adamantly asserted: 'That is the only solution if you don't want civil war'. Partition was to provide India's Muslims a homeland. Some called it a New Medina, others a Dar-ul-Islam. It was a premediated move on religious lines. There was no other reason for Partition. Ironically, Jinnah's proposal of an exchange of population fell on the deaf ears of Indian, read Hindu, Congress leaders and it resulted in an exodus what happened in West Punjab was not a riot nor a mere pogrom, but a holocaust of Hindus and Sikhs, causing a flood of refugees to cross into India. A similar tragedy unfolded in the eastern wing of Pakistan. In comparison, the exodus of Muslims out of India was nominal. The author points out, had there been a population exchange as in Greece and Turkey, India would not today constantly face threats of communal discords and wars with Pakistan. …
