Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. An Indian politician looks back at her journey and recounts how the going got tougher with her every success, perhaps because she was a woman.Life among the Scorpions recounts the deeply fascinating and often tumultuous events that mark thirty years of Jaya Jaitly's political journey.From arranging relief for victims of the 1984 Sikh riots, to joining politics under firebrand leader George Fernandes, to becoming the president of Samata Partya key ally in the erstwhile NDA Government, Jaitly's rise in Indian mainstream politics invited both awe and envy. But the going has been far from smooth. Trouble began with George Fernandes sacking Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat in 1998. Jaitly became the target. She was soon hounded by Tehelka's stingsfirst concerning her son-in-law-to-be Ajay Jadeja and then herself in an alleged bribery case. Eventually, Fernandes had to resign as India's Defence Minister, despite being the best and Jaitly quit as the Samata Party President. Meanwhile, she spiritedly fought booth capturing in Bihar as well as fellow party men's egos, intervened and ensured the installation of the Samata government in Manipur. All this, even as she continued her parallel fight for the livelihood of craftsmen on the one hand and conceptualized and ensured establishment of the first Dilli Haat (crafts market place) in 1994 on the other.With all the backstories of major events in Indian politics between 19702000, including her experience of dealing with the Commission of Inquiry and courts regarding the Tehelka stings, the story of Jaya Jaitly makes for a riveting read. A powerful narrative on why being a woman in politics was for her akin to being surrounded by scorpions; this hard hitting memoir offers a perspective on the functioning of Indian politics from a woman's point of view. Jaya Jaitly's memoir "Life among the Scorpions" chronicles her turbulent political career in India, from aiding Sikh riot victims to leading the Samata Party. Despite facing scandals and power struggles, she resigned amidst controversy, highlighting the challenges women encounter in Indian politics.

Textiles. 9. Embroidery. 10. Assorted bounties from nature. The history of India's crafts is a story of humankind's engagement with nature. Creative hands turned rock into objects of divinity minerals into lamps to worship them plants into woven textures to wear and waste materials into beautiful objects of everyday utility. To honour Nature is to honour its creator and to mould objects by hand is a mode of worship. The Indian crafts practitioner is therefore the greatest conservationist who craves to live in harmony with his environment. The plea to address issues of ecology and environmental degradation was born out of the minds of those who saw with horror the ravages of an over industrialized society. This book is a response to such a plea and seeks to highlight the extraordinary creative and peaceful relationship between the craftsperson and the environment. It also seeks to emphasise the need to respect it and cherish it both for art's sake and for the protection of Nature's bounty. This unique book describes the environment surrounding the major and minor crafts of India offering a wealth of information to art craft and Nature lovers. 102 pp.
