Download or read book India Divided written by Vandana Shiva and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In India Divided, environmental, human rights, and antiglobalization activist Vandana Shiva chronicles the internal battles of a nation that is both the world's largest democracy and a leading nuclear power. Shiva describes a society where traditional cultures collide with the new economy of globalization, and charts the course of India's war of fundamentalisms in the age of terror. From the IT centers of Bangalore to the villages of Uttar Pradesh, from the massacre at Gujarat and the popular emergence of Hindutva's narrow communalism to the decades-old battle for Kashmir, India Divided reveals a convergence of globalization and terrorism. Looking to the plights of India's Dalit communities and millions of poor subsistence farmers impoverished or displaced by biotechnology, seed patents, and the spate of mega-dam projects, Shiva argues that these silent killers form a local terror unmatched in devastation. In India Divided Shiva addresses India’s most urgent threats with gravity and hope.

Download or read book Jinnah Proposed Gandhi Disposed Thus India Divided written by Prafull Goradia and published by Carried Publication. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The partition of India and the agonies associated with it are still alive in the memory of millions of people. Although the India-Pakistan Partition took place nearly seven decades ago, it is still a lingering reality. It is the indifferent attitude of leaders both from the Congress and the Muslim League that resulted in bifurcating the country. This is well made out from the writings of the leaders of the time. This indifference continued even after 1947. Kashmir got divided and it became a perpetual bone of contention. Sending terrorists across the border is Pakistan's spasmodic habit. Training Indian extremists in violence is its dedicated, continual process. The author affirms that many an unpleasant development would have been avoided had the leaders understood the issues properly and mobilized support from the Indian populace. But the leadership was cynical and failed in understanding the gravity of the situation. Personal interests and egos ruled the roost. However, a few lay Indians know how the partition took place. What was the need for it? Who played the spoilsport in creating Pakistan? This volume, for the better understanding of the readers, reproduces the views of Jinnah, Gandhi, Ambedkar, Rajendra Prasad and G.D. Khosla in this context. This book is a sincere attempt to portray the actual developments that had taken place associated with the Independence of the country and a few afterward results. The Indian government under Nehru failed in resolving many an issue, paving the way for numerous post-Independent challenges that are still continuing. Thus, this book should be an eye opener for the readers, unfurling their mind, grasping the reality in its absolute sense.

Download or read book Midnight s Furies written by Nisid Hajari and published by Amberley Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After centuries of British rule, nobody expected Indian Independence and the birth of Pakistan to be so bloody - they were supposed to be the answer to the dreams of Muslims and Hindus. Jawaharlal Nehru, Gandhi's protégé and the political leader of India, believed Indians were an inherently nonviolent, peaceful people. Pakistan's founder, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, was a secular lawyer, not a firebrand. But in August 1946, exactly a year before Independence, Calcutta erupted in street-gang fighting. A cycle of riots - targeting Hindus, then Muslims, then Sikhs - spiraled out of control. As the summer of 1947 approached, all three groups were heavily armed and on edge, and the British rushed to leave. Hell let loose. Trains carried Muslims west and Hindus east to their slaughter. Some of the most brutal and widespread ethnic cleansing in modern history erupted on both sides of the new border, carving a gulf between India and Pakistan that remains a root cause of many evils. From jihadi terrorism to nuclear proliferation, the searing tale told in Midnight's Furies explains all too many of the headlines we read today.

Download or read book The Divided City written by Singh Binti and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999-10-20 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Divided City contributes to the growing body of scholarly work on cities of the global South. Cities in developing countries, particularly emerging economies, are undergoing rapid urbanization and social transition. Empirically grounded to the contemporary urban situation in India, The Divided City is set in an opportune moment to assess how cities fare up to the challenge of inclusive urbanization. It highlights how the urban pathway of contemporary India departs from the goal of inclusion in multiple ways -- access to energy, public services, architecture, land, infrastructure, commons, and cultural and civic spaces. It simultaneously interrogates both policy and theory with intermingling issues like informality, privatization, political economy and gender divide in the contemporary Indian city. The book argues for greater urban inclusion (social, economic and environmental) acknowledged in principle, in national and international urban policy frameworks.
