Download or read book The Contenders written by Priya Sahgal and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political editor Priya Sahgal profiles fourteen Gen-Next political leaders under the age of fifty-five. How do they shape their politics in the Age of Modi where the axis of politics revolves around one man? The Contenders captures an intriguing churn in the Indian leadership paradigm. There has been a generational change of guard in most political parties, from the north to the south. Most are pedigreed dynasts whose inheritance has been challenged by the biggest disrupter of them all. Can Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, Arvind Kejriwal and Omar Abdullah consolidate and conquer? Will Rahul break out of his existential chakravyuha, caught between destiny and destination? How are Sachin Pilot and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra pitching their politics in a party where (individual) power is poison? Will Sachin's pilot project take off? What about the BJP's second rung? Is Yogi Adiyanath's rise and rise part of a plan, or is he the genie unleashed? What is it about Himanta Biswa Sarma that makes him indispensable to whichever party he belongs to? Can Jyotiraditya Scindia and Anurag Thakur maintain their momentum and panache in a very competitive BJP? With the Congress battling decline, never has the role of regional parties been more crucial, specially within the opposition. What he lacks in numbers, Arvind Kejriwal makes up for in gumption as he takes Modi on, headline for headline. Both Akhilesh and Tejashwi are reinventing themselves, looking beyond their traditional party base, while Asadduddin Owaisi remains a Prime Time warrior. Milind Deora and Jayant Chaudhary have renegotiated their politics, made some new friends and antagonised the old. What are the new rules of engagement in the Modified Game of Thrones? This is a book that listens, but does not judge. As a senior political journalist, Priya has interacted with most of them since their political debut; as she chronicles conversations that bring out their strengths, weaknesses and quirks. The style is easy and conversational, the portraits sharp and engaging. Within these pages you are likely to meet a future prime minister, a couple of chief ministers, several cabinet ministers and one not so reluctant fundamentalist. Do they have what it takes to lead India tomorrow? This book can help you decide.

Download or read book The Mahabharata written by and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greatest Story Ever Told Dispute over land and kingdom may lie at the heart of this story of war between cousins—the Pandavas and the Kouravas—but the Mahabharata is about conflicts of dharma. These conflicts are immense and various, singular and commonplace. Throughout the epic, characters face them with no clear indications of what is right and what is wrong; there are no absolute answers. Thus every possible human emotion features in the Mahabharata, the reason the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination. In this superb and widely acclaimed translation of the complete Mahabharata, Bibek Debroy takes us on a great journey with incredible ease.
Download or read book Faith Gender and Activism in the Punjab Conflict written by Mallika Kaur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Punjab was the arena of one of the first major armed conflicts of post-colonial India. During its deadliest decade, as many as 250,000 people were killed. This book makes an urgent intervention in the history of the conflict, which to date has been characterized by a fixation on sensational violence—or ignored altogether. Mallika Kaur unearths the stories of three people who found themselves at the center of Punjab’s human rights movement: Baljit Kaur, who armed herself with a video camera to record essential evidence of the conflict; Justice Ajit Singh Bains, who became a beloved “people’s judge”; and Inderjit Singh Jaijee, who returned to Punjab to document abuses even as other elites were fleeing. Together, they are credited with saving countless lives. Braiding oral histories, personal snapshots, and primary documents recovered from at-risk archives, Kaur shows that when entire conflicts are marginalized, we miss essential stories: stories of faith, feminist action, and the power of citizen-activists.

Book excerpt: The Agilist’s Guidebook- A Reference for Organizational Agile Transformation, this workbook is for all Agilist who choose to enable organizational agile transformation. Competitive pressure and fundamental changes will remain the hallmark of the business environment. Thus the need for new and upgraded skills will continue. Lifelong learning is not simply an educational concept; it is a business necessity. This workbook has emphasized pragmatic challenges we come across during agile transformation and how we can fortify ourselves to surmount all these challenges. This workbook consists of five distinct areas like Organizational coaching, the overall mindset of the team members, Leadership capability, Building a high-performance team, Organization development (Structure and Culture). These five pillars are five elements of the Panch Bhoota Model. If these five elements are not purified or malfunctions,we become ill. As an organization is not a machine, it is an organism, leaders have to take care of these five elements by learning about them and strengthening these elements so that the organization does not get affected by a foreign threat, much like a virus or a bacteria. The political, economic, social, technological, legal environment can threaten an organizations survival. When the organization is stable in these five elements, it can cope with any challenge thrown by the external environment. This workbook will feature some of the challenges and approaches in handling these areas. This workbook will guide the reader to evaluate their present skills and take action wherever improvement is desired. The author has highlighted many Mindmaps, checklist, thought-provoking questions for the readers to reflect on and take action, and has emphasized many case studies in this book to make the book practical for the reader. The author had shared many theoretical concepts for the reader to do further research in and enhance learning in those areas. This workbook is a compendium means it is a compilation of concise but detailed information about a specific subject, in this case, Organizational Agile transformation.
Download or read book NL ARMS Netherlands Annual Review of Military Studies 2020 written by Frans Osinga and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume surveys the state of the field to examine whether a fifth wave of deterrence theory is emerging. Bringing together insights from world-leading experts from three continents, the volume identifies the most pressing strategic challenges, frames theoretical concepts, and describes new strategies. The use and utility of deterrence in today’s strategic environment is a topic of paramount concern to scholars, strategists and policymakers. Ours is a period of considerable strategic turbulence, which in recent years has featured a renewed emphasis on nuclear weapons used in defence postures across different theatres; a dramatic growth in the scale of military cyber capabilities and the frequency with which these are used; and rapid technological progress including the proliferation of long-range strike and unmanned systems. These military-strategic developments occur in a polarized international system, where cooperation between leading powers on arms control regimes is breaking down, states widely make use of hybrid conflict strategies, and the number of internationalized intrastate proxy conflicts has quintupled over the past two decades. Contemporary conflict actors exploit a wider gamut of coercive instruments, which they apply across a wider range of domains. The prevalence of multi-domain coercion across but also beyond traditional dimensions of armed conflict raises an important question: what does effective deterrence look like in the 21st century? Answering that question requires a re-appraisal of key theoretical concepts and dominant strategies of Western and non-Western actors in order to assess how they hold up in today’s world. Air Commodore Professor Dr. Frans Osinga is the Chair of the War Studies Department of the Netherlands Defence Academy and the Special Chair in War Studies at the University Leiden. Dr. Tim Sweijs is the Director of Research at The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies and a Research Fellow at the Faculty of Military Sciences of the Netherlands Defence Academy in Breda.
