Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Has India always been a part of someone else's strategy? A RAND Corporation study argues that India thinks defensively due to the geography and cultural belief systems, so India never had a strategic culture. There is also the argument that India's scriptures prescribe Dharmayuddha, the ethics of war, so today's India is unable to master the war game. Among the many issues is the question, can India's greater aspirations be met without significant conventional military power? Will the Pakistan problem die due to lack of water? How can India manage its politically boiling neighbours? Especially Han China's jingoism. And terrorism in Afghanistan. As the world becomes multipolar and India begins to take its deserved place in the comity of nations, there is an urgent need to develop an Indian narrative of its security and foreign policy needs, based on India's experience and cultural and civilisational values. This volume, titled, India's Foreign Policy and National Security Strategy, brings together a galaxy of eminent strategic thinkers who provide deep insight into India's neighbourhood geopolitics and what poses threat to India's national security. The volume thus begins with a refreshing scrutiny of India's strategic culture, and interesting dissections of the challenges of national defence, internal security, neighbourhood outreach and finally, the nuances of forging strategic partnerships in tune with national interests. It gives the readers a world view of India's future concerns.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. For 70 years, governance and administration of India has been guided by left-leaning economists fed on western precepts of the subcontinent's history and culture. A new generation of policy-makers call this myopic and are ready for a repositioning of the past and a reassessment of the future. This volume, titled, A Political Economic Approach to Reclaiming India, is a collection of essays of deep insight into the primary factors of national progress, namely, economic orientation, poverty alleviation by boosting the agriculture sector, transformation through research and development, wider access to health care, water security, spread of education, skill development and employment generation. There can be no larger issues confronting contemporary India. As cultural heritage of a nation remains a sublime catalyst to all such endeavours, this volume ends with a notable piece on India's history curriculum.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. The Pahari Embroidery is the sparkle of the Embroider s Art over centuries in the land of Himachal Pradesh, undivided Punjab and in Jammu region. The region is situated in closer proximity to Himalayas, hence it has been identified as Pahari Embroidery although, it is popularly known as Chamba Rumals the art is practiced in the above mentioned regions of India, hence the nomenclature. The art is carried out by masses and classes with great love and passion and hence some of the executions can be compared with the Miniature Paintings of the area. It was never supposed to be a commercial embroidery. It is executed on white muslim/khaddar coverlets exquisitely embroidered with silk threads using satin stitch, as the dominating stitch and it covers the themes on Krishna, Rasamandala, Gajantaka Siva, Ganesha, Ramayana scenes, Hanuman, wedding scenes, hunting, geometric design and many more. So the questions which kept us busy in thoughts were why these were known as Chamba Rumal while being practiced in a very large geographical area? It was not commercial activity but the intensity and dedication to pursue the art form was very close to the heart. What was the psychology behind it? These were a few basic questions nagging our minds to look at the various aspects of Pahari embroidery vividly. Fourteen scholars have contributed to look at different aspects of embroidery of Western Himalayan Region. Their contributions are on a variety of subjects. (jacket).
