Hardbound. Zustand: New. Contents : The Book is a Pot Pourri about Contemporary India - A Must for a Foreigner visiting India and the less Travelled Indian. A Retired Naval Officer, Ranjit Rai Makes a modest attempt to explain India to Indians and Foreigners. The Book Consists of diverse chapters that merge, titilate, illuminate, argue and offer solutions in an agreeable style. 'A Journey Through India' is a panoramic view of the physical beauty of India. 'Who is Indian and What is his lingua Franca ?' discusses the dilemma of being a Hindustani. It talks of Indians, post-Independence, who are still reeling from the effects of Partition. 'Hinduism, Karma and Brahminism' is an attempt to understand the enigma that Indians live and battle with every day. Views on these are uniquely and persuasively argued: diehard Hindus may disagree. 'Love, Sex and Freud in the land of Kamasutra' is a bold assault on Indian sexuality. 'India's Economy : Past, Present and Future' is another offering. The Indian Administrative, Foreign and Intelligence Services are Dissected and exposed with the hope of improvement in their working. A 'critical analysis of the Indian Political Scenario, Particularly the Nehru Dynasty, for they ruled India for about 40years. 'Corruption, Bofors, Scams' - A New rendering with another explanation.

Admiral S.M Nanda, PVSM, AVSM Chief of Naval Staff during 1971 The book was first published in 1987 and was also the first ever book on Indian Navy's role in the 1971 Indo-Pak war leading to liberation of Bangladesh. The book gives adequate coverage to the Pakistani account of naval war and hence is a very representative book on the event.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. On December 30, 1999, the then Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government took an unprecedented step of sacking it's temperamental but bright navy chief Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat for 'defiance of civilian authority'.
