Download or read book Communists Jihadis At Work In Jnu written by Ed. Balbir Punj and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened in JNU on February 9th and why? Was it an isolated incident or was it part of a prolonged ideological war waged by those nursed financially and intellectually by foreign powers who are against India? The unfortunate events of that fateful day have put this distinguished institution in news for wrong reasons. A group of students belonging to a host of communist organizations along with separatist Islamist Jihadi ‘guests’ openly called for ‘breaking India’, ‘destroying India’ and challenged the country’s justice delivery system for hanging a terrorist killer who was convicted for attacking the Indian Parliament in December 2001. In short, it was a war cry against India and a show of strength in favour of her enemies. People across India, who watched on their TV sets, this shocking act of glorifying terrorists and their sordid deeds which are a threat to civil society and humanity the world over, were full of disgust and anguish. The national outrage was so severe that reactions included unwarranted calls for shutting down JNU or withdrawing its grants. This booklet is an honest review of the events and the history of this institution to drive home the point that JNU is not a culprit but a victim. These events in JNU have once again revealed that since long a bunch of desperate fifth-column communists and jihadi terror mongers have hijacked JNU’s image to achieve the nefarious goals of their political masters in India and paymasters abroad. To help JNU live up to the ideals for which it was established in early 1970s, it is essential that civil society makes concerted efforts to cleanse this temple of learning from the vice like grip of anarchists and anti-national elements masquerading as ‘progressives and liberals’. The events in JNU are the expressions of a mindset that is now ravaging parts of the Middle East, which has, in the past, killed millions in China, in the erstwhile Soviet Union and in Pol Pot’s Cambodia. Such a sick intellectual paradigm poses a threat, not only to India but to the entire world and especially to the core human values of freedom, pluralism, multiplicity and co-existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical of the economic and political power relations in contemporary India, this book is written from the vantagepoint of the working masses whose basic economic and democratic rights remain unmet.

Download or read book Know the Anti Nationals written by RSN Singh and published by Lancer Publishers. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an era of nation-states. Nationhood is predicated on shared sense of past and a common purpose of future. More than nation-state, India is a civilization, a complete civilization. To keep this civilization fresh and vibrant, winds from all directions are imperative for its nourishment. But, winds cannot be allowed to build into destructive storms, that threaten to uproot the civilization, the very basis of nationhood. Jihadism and Maoism are the two main destructive storms. Fueling these storms are India’s enemies as well as the forces of proselytization. They have to be crushed both at ideological and physical levels. We have been squeamish in dealing with the problems because of the misplaced notion that all ideologies are basically benign and beneficial, they are not. 73 years of our post-independence experience is testimony. This misplaced notion has caused at least a lakh lives in Kashmir alone, resulting in ethnic cleansing of Hindus from the Valley by the jihadists. Sardar Patel did crush the communist revolt in Telangana, but in the following years due to subversion of our political class, it grew into the ‘Red Corridor’, i.e. from Tirupati to Pashupati. These forces have to be vanquished to secure the internal or the third front. This book ‘Know the Anti-Nationals’ exposes these enemies within.

Download or read book Engineers of Jihad written by Diego Gambetta and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking investigation into why so many Islamic radicals are engineers The violent actions of a few extremists can alter the course of history, yet there persists a yawning gap between the potential impact of these individuals and what we understand about them. In Engineers of Jihad, Diego Gambetta and Steffen Hertog uncover two unexpected facts, which they imaginatively leverage to narrow that gap: they find that a disproportionate share of Islamist radicals come from an engineering background, and that Islamist and right-wing extremism have more in common than either does with left-wing extremism, in which engineers are absent while social scientists and humanities students are prominent. Searching for an explanation, they tackle four general questions about extremism: Under which socioeconomic conditions do people join extremist groups? Does the profile of extremists reflect how they self-select into extremism or how groups recruit them? Does ideology matter in sorting who joins which group? Lastly, is there a mindset susceptible to certain types of extremism? Using rigorous methods and several new datasets, they explain the link between educational discipline and type of radicalism by looking at two key factors: the social mobility (or lack thereof) for engineers in the Muslim world, and a particular mindset seeking order and hierarchy that is found more frequently among engineers. Engineers' presence in some extremist groups and not others, the authors argue, is a proxy for individual traits that may account for the much larger question of selective recruitment to radical activism. Opening up markedly new perspectives on the motivations of political violence, Engineers of Jihad yields unexpected answers about the nature and emergence of extremism.

Download or read book India that is Bharat written by J Sai Deepak and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India, That Is Bharat, the first book of a comprehensive trilogy, explores the influence of European 'colonial consciousness' (or 'coloniality'), in particular its religious and racial roots, on Bharat as the successor state to the Indic civilisation and the origins of the Indian Constitution. It lays the foundation for its sequels by covering the period between the Age of Discovery, marked by Christopher Columbus' expedition in 1492, and the reshaping of Bharat through a British-made constitution-the Government of India Act of 1919. This includes international developments leading to the founding of the League of Nations by Western powers that tangibly impacted this journey. Further, this work also traces the origins of seemingly universal constructs such as 'toleration', 'secularism' and 'humanism' to Christian political theology. Their subsequent role in subverting the indigenous Indic consciousness through a secularised and universalised Reformation, that is, constitutionalism, is examined. It also puts forth the concept of Middle Eastern coloniality, which preceded its European variant and allies with it in the context of Bharat to advance their shared antipathy towards the Indic worldview. In order to liberate Bharat's distinctive indigeneity, 'decoloniality' is presented as a civilisational imperative in the spheres of nature, religion, culture, history, education, language and, crucially, in the realm of constitutionalism.
Download or read book JNU The Making of a University written by Rakesh Batabyal and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jawaharlal Nehru University, or JNU as it is popularly known, is perhaps India's grandest of nationalist institutions. It embodies the spirit of an earlier nationalist quest for autonomous and excellent intellectual life. In the choice of the issues and the confidence with which the disciplinary boundaries were questioned, JNU tried to constitute itself as an ethical alter ego of the nation. JNU: The Making of a University is an examination of how an institution comes to life - from its conception in 1964, to 1989 when it entered a phase of major transition. It brings to life the intricate web of relationships between the founding principles of the university, contemporary politics, social transformations and the historical trajectories of Indian intellectual and institutional lives. The book is a chronicle of how the community of scholars and students navigated contested domains of emerging disciplines and organized politics, and how they tried to infuse life and movement into them in a completely new and uninhabited physical and intellectual space. Packed with details - based on parliamentary proceedings, newspaper accounts, interviews, pamphlets and a host of other primary sources - and replete with anecdotes and a rare intimate knowledge, this is not just the story of a university; it is also an intellectual history of India.
