    There's no dearth of references to a sense of kinship beyond one's familyor tribe in ancient Indian texts. We know from anecdotes in the Ramayanaand Mahabharata, the Upanishads and epigraphic sources like Ashoka's 12thMajor Rock Edict, that our ancestors were no strangers to an expansiveunderstanding of fraternity. Therefore, although the earliest adoption offraternity as state motto happened in 18th-century France, the West cannotclaim to have taught fraternity to India. Even so, it took our freedom struggleand the writing of the Constitution for it to become an integral valuegoverning our lives.While the idea of fraternity was implicit in the Motilal Nehru ConstitutionalDraft of 1928 and the 1931 Karachi Resolution of the Indian NationalCongress, the National Movement's commitment to it was questioned byleaders like Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar because the Movement appeared toprioritize the anti-colonial struggle over social reform to eliminate casteinequality. Dr Ambedkar, who had suffered caste oppression, knew that therecouldn't be a democratic future if caste wasn't done away with. However, hisantagonism with Mahatma Gandhi, the pre-eminent leader of the NationalMovement, is often amplified. This monograph argues, instead, that not onlydid both hold each other in high regard, it was due to Ambedkar's steadfastopposition to caste that, through Gandhi, modern Indian society learnt to takeits first steps towards embodying fraternity, even as it fought the Raj.Rajmohan Gandhi, one of India's leading and most admired thinkers, moveseasily from ancient India to modern Europe to an intimate portrait of the epicface-off between Gandhi and Ambedkar which led to the Poona Pact of 1932.This engaging monograph should be read by everyone invested in upholdingthe constitutional norm of fraternity in our increasingly divided country.

    Nepal, c. 1900: The single deadliest animal in recorded history began stalking humans, moving like a phantom through the lush foothills of the Himalayas. As the death toll reached an astonishing 435 lives, a young local hunter was dispatched to stop the now-legendary man-eater before it struck again. One part pulse-pounding thriller, one part soulful natural history of the endangered Royal Bengal tiger, acclaimed writer Dane Huckelbridge's No Beast So Fierce is the gripping true account of the Champawat Tiger, which terrified northern India and Nepal from 1900 to 1907, and Jim Corbett, the legendary hunter who pursued it. Huckelbridge's masterful telling also reveals that the tiger, Corbett, and the forces that brought them together are far more complex and fascinating than a simple man-versus-beast tale. At the turn of the twentieth century, as British rule of India tightened and bounties were placed on tiger's heads, a tigress was shot in the mouth by a poacher. Injured but alive, it turned from its usual hunting habits to easier prey?humans. For the next seven years, this man-made killer terrorized locals, growing bolder with every kill. Colonial authorities, desperate for help, finally called upon Jim Corbett, a then-unknown railroad employee of humble origins who had grown up hunting game through the hills of Kumaon. Like a detective on the trail of a serial killer, Corbett tracked the tiger's movements in the dense, hilly woodlands?meanwhile, the animal shadowed Corbett in return. Then, after a heartbreaking new kill of a young woman whom he was unable to protect, Corbett followed the gruesome blood trail deep into the forest where hunter and tiger would meet at last.Drawing upon on-the-ground research in the Indian Himalayan region where he retraced Corbett's footsteps, Huckelbridge brings to life one of the great adventure sagas of the twentieth century. And yet Huckelbridge draws a deeper, more complex story into focus, placing the episode into its full context for the first time: that of colonialism's disturbing impact on the ancient balance between man and tiger; and that of Corbett's own evolution from a celebrated hunter to a principled conservationist who in time would earn fame for his devotion to saving the Bengal tiger and its habitat. Today the Corbett Tiger Reserve protects 1,200 km of wilderness; within its borders is Jim Corbett National Park, India's oldest and most prestigious national park and a vital haven for the very animals Corbett once hunted.An unforgettable tale, magnificently told, No Beast So Fierce is an epic of beauty, terror, survival, and redemption for the ages.

    Identity conflicts, a prominent feature of our times, a phenomenon of belonging somewhere yet belonging nowhere, are increasingly finding their way into cinema. This book looks at the representations of identity conflicts in India on the canvas of Indian cinema, connecting them with broader socio-political developments in contemporary India. Starting with the historical background of how political developments in Europe like the emergence of Nation states, secularism, modernity influenced socio-political developments in India in the past century, the book looks at how those developments have shaped modern India. While looking at the cinematic representations of a variety of identity conflicts through the lens of cultural and political analysis, it provides insights into how the construct of an Identity and the inherent conflicts associated with it evolve and manifest themselves through the medium of a film.

    This book covers various forms of the production of girmitiya culture and literature. One of the main objectives is to conceptualize the idea of girmitya, girmitology, and girmitiya literature, culture, history, and identity in both colonial and postcolonial contexts. This book aims to document the history, experiences, culture, assimilation, and identity of girmitiya community. It also critically analyses the articulation, projection, and production of their experiences of migration and being immigrant, their narratives, tradition, culture, religion, and memory. It also explores how this labour community formulated into a diaspora community and reconnected/created the home (land) and continues to do so in the wake of globalization and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This book is an attempt to bring the intriguing neglected diverse historical heritage of colonial labour migration and their narratives into the mainstream scholarly debates and discussions in the humanities and the social sciences through the trans- and interdisciplinary perspectives. This book assesses the routes of migration of old diaspora, and it explains the nuances of cultural change among the generations. Although, they have migrated centuries back, absorbed and assimilated, and got citizenships of respective countries of destinations but still their longing for roots, culture, identities, ¿home¿, and the constant struggle is to retain connections with their homeland depicted in their cultural practices, arts, music, songs, folklore and literary manifestations.Neha Singh is Assistant Professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies at Manipal University Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.Sajaudeen Chapparban is Assistant Professor in the Centre for Diaspora Studies at Central University of Gujarat, Gandhinagar, India.

    "A sweeping account of how the sea routes of Asia have transformed a vast expanse of the globe over the past five hundred years, powerfully shaping the modern world in the centuries leading up to our own, the volume of traffic across Asian sea routes-an area stretching from East Africa and the Middle East to Japan-exploded, eventually making them the busiest in the world. The result was a massive circulation of people, commodities, religion, culture, technology, and ideas. In this book, Eric Tagliacozzo chronicles how the seas and oceans of Asia have shaped the history of the largest continent for the past half millennium, leaving an indelible mark on the modern world in the process.Paying special attention to migration, trade, the environment, and cities, In Asian Waters examines the long history of contact between China and East Africa; the spread of Hinduism and Buddhism across the Bay of Bengal; and the intertwined histories of Islam and Christianity in the Philippines. The book illustrates how India became central to the spice trade; how the Indian Ocean became a 'British lake' between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries; and how lighthouses and sea mapping played important roles in imperialism. The volume ends by asking what may happen if China comes to rule the waves of Asia, as Britain once did. A novel account showing how Asian history can be seen as a whole when seen from the water, In Asian Waters presents a voyage into a past that is still alive in the present"--

In addition, India's geo-political influence has assumed significance within the context of Indo-Pacific strategy.

    The Indian Army was the largest volunteer army during the Second World War. Indian Army divisions fought in the Middle East, North Africa and Italy - and went to make up the overwhelming majority of the troops in South East Asia. Over two million personnel served in the Indian Army - and India provided the base for supplies for the Middle Eastern and South East Asian theaters. This monograph is a modern historical interpretation of the Indian Army as a holistic organization during the Second World War. It will look at training in India - charting how the Indian Army developed a more comprehensive training structure than any other Commonwealth country. This was achieved through both the dissemination of doctrine and the professionalism of a small coterie of Indian Army officers who brought about a military culture within the Indian Army - starting in the 1930s - that came to fruition during the Second World War, which informed the formal learning process. Finally, it will show that the Indian Army was reorganized after experiences of the First World War. During the interwar period, the army developed training and belief for both fighting on the North West Frontier, and as an aid to civil power. With the outbreak of the Second World War, in addition to these roles, the army had to expand and adapt to fighting modern professional armies in the difficult terrains of desert, jungle and mountain warfare. A clear development of doctrine and training can be seen, with many pamphlets being produced by GHQ India that were, in turn, used to formulate training within formations and then used in divisional, brigade and unit training instructions - thus a clear line of process can be seen not only from GHQ India down to brigade and battalion level, but also upwards from battalion and brigade level based on experience in battle that was absorbed into new training instructions. Together with the added impetus for education in the army, by 1945 the Indian Army had become a modern, professional and national army.

    Nothing comes even remotely close to the excitement that cricket evokes in both the young and the old in India. Cricket in India is a religion, with cricketers revered as gods. While we have grown up watching cricket on our televisions, we have felt the tension, euphoria and joy that cricketers on the field may have experienced while playing. Of Spins, Sixes and Surprises: 50 Defining Moments in Indian Cricket is a humble attempt at reliving those occasions. Authors Shom Biswas and Titash Banerjea present an amazing journey of Indian cricket, from the time when the greatest Indian cricketer of his time (Ranji) used to represent another country (England) to a time when India has become the nerve centre of the world game. The emergence of women's cricket also forms a key theme.

    Au sein de ma conscience, j'ai semé les graines divines de ta bonté. Jour et nuit, je les ai soignées ; mais alors qu'elles poussaient déjà leurs feuilles tendres, le soleil brûlant de mes désirs et le vent de mes pensées agitées du passé et de l'avenir ont brûlé leurs feuilles et dispersé Ton ¿uvre en moi. Mais je n'abandonnerai pas, je sèmerai encore et encore dans le sol secret de ma conscience, jusqu'à ce que Ton amour porte du fruit en moi, que cela me prenne une vie ou une chaîne infinie de vies, je n'abandonnerai pas. Je continuerai à semer Tes bénédictions au c¿ur de ma conscience, jusqu'à ce que je trouve le lieu sacré où la chaleur de mes désirs et la voracité de mes pensées ne peuvent plus marcher ni souiller. Je continuerai à semer Tes graines de bonté dans ma foi, et lorsqu'il n'y aura plus aucun endroit dans le champ fini de ma conscience individuelle qui ne soit pas saturé du fruit de Ton amour, alors, dans le silence, quand tout dort, je continuerai à semer Tes graines de bénédiction dans l'esprit de tous Tes autres enfants. Ainsi, lorsque le champ de conscience débordera du fruit de Ton amour, nous réaliserons que Tu es notre seul véritable Soi éternel et insondable.

    No seio da minha consciência, semeei as sementes divinas da Tua bondade. Dia e noite cuidei delas; mas quando já brotavam as suas tenras folhas, o sol ardente dos meus desejos e o vento dos meus pensamentos inquietos do passado e do futuro queimaram as suas folhas e dispersaram a Tua obra em mim. Mas eu não desistirei, semearei uma e outra vez no solo secreto da minha consciência, até que o Teu amor dê frutos em mim, quer leve uma vida inteira ou uma cadeia infinita de vidas, eu não desistirei. Continuarei a semear as Tuas bênçãos no coração da minha consciência, até encontrar o lugar sagrado onde o calor dos meus desejos e a voracidade dos meus pensamentos já não podem pisar nem contaminar. Continuarei a semear as Tuas sementes de bondade na minha fé, e quando não restar nenhum lugar no campo finito da minha consciência individual que não esteja saturado com o fruto do Teu amor, então, em silêncio, quando todos dormirem, continuarei a semear as Tuas sementes de bênção nas mentes de todos os Teus outros filhos. Assim, quando o campo da consciência estiver a transbordar com o fruto do Teu amor, compreenderemos que Tu és o nosso único Ser real, eterno e insondavelmente feliz.
