"The resurgence of militant Islam highlighted by the massive terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on September 11, 2001 is a far more complex and dangerous phenomenon than is often suggested by the analysts who reduce these developments to no more than an intensification of the role of religion. "The recent terrorist attacks on New York and Washington have highlighted the problem in its most brutal manifestation. The Call of Jihad is an attempt to understand the socio-economic-political roots and varieties of terrorism or militancy in West Asian and Arab-African states and their regional and international implications."

The tribal community and their habitats constitute very significant proportion of backward people and regions of the country It encompasses around 18 per cent of countrys land and 8 per cent of its population Despite the record economic growth Indian social indicators are lagging behind largely because of poor access to good health care and information Though the various schemes have been launched for the overall development from the First Five-Year Plan in 1951 but the impact of these schemes is not visibly reflected in the improvement of the socio-economic well-being of the tribal people The tribal ecosystem is perpetuated through culture totally in balance with the production system and social heritage Besides the traditional productive social economy of the tribal communities is a characteristic manifestation of their interaction through various institutions with nature The institutions evolve the strategies that make effective use of resources through adaptations The socio-economic level of the society plays dominant role to determine the health and nutrition status of the people The tribals particularly Tharus are the lowest income group people living in abject poverty and are also surviving in shadow of severe under-nutritional conditions prone to several diseases 288 pp.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. American strategy in South Asia: a comparative view of cold war and post cold war periods. 3. Strategic environment of South Asia and the U.S.A. 4. Indo-U.S. relations in the post cold war period. 5. U.S. Pak relations in the post cold war period. 6. Conclusion. Appendices. Bibliography. Index. The book is a sincere scholarly endeavor to examine different aspects of American strategy towards South Asia in the post Cold-War period. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union and demise of cold war, South Asia-a low priority region during the entire cold war period, suddenly figured quite prominently in the American strategic design in the aftermath of the cold war. Altered global strategic scenario in the wake of globalization and fast occurring developments in West Asia, Afghanistan, Central Asia, rise of China and growing tentacles of terrorism are the factors accountable for this paradigm shift in American Strategy. Professor Kumar has meticulously discussed all these factors with remarkable clarity. It also focuses upon the newly ingrained bonhomie between India and the US under the new political dispensations both in New Delhi and Washington. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of American strategy towards South Asia in the twenty first century. (jacket).
