A Philosophy for NEFA - Verrier Elwin - Bog - Manohar Publishers and Distributors - Plusbog.dk

India achieved its independence in 1947 from the British Empire. A major challenge following independence was the reintegration of the princely states and territories directly controlled by the British in mainland India. Among these challenges were issues like the Kashmir conflict and the integration of the North East Frontier Agency (NEFA) into the Indian Union. The problems faced were not only political unification but also the complex cultural, social, and community-related issues arising from this integration.

Understanding Pakistan - - Bog - Manohar Publishers and Distributors - Plusbog.dk

Understanding Pakistan : Emerging Voices from India is the outcome of a national seminar for research scholars on Pakistan organized by the centre for Pakistan Studies at the MMAJ Academy of International Studies, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. The aim of the seminar was to explore how young minds in India view Pakistan, the quintessential enemy country or the other of India. The range of topics included issues related to Pakistan’s politics, economy, popular culture, education, environment, sectarian divide, minorities, policy towards Jammu and Kashmir and foreign relations. The established academic discourse on Pakistan in India is largely dominated by concern linked to security threats emanating from within Pakistan. Due to this overemphasis on security related issues, Indian scholarship on Pakistan is considered to be highly subjective and partisan.

Travels in the Mogul Empire 1656 to 1668 - Francois Bernier - Bog - Manohar Publishers and Distributors - Plusbog.dk

Based on the English translation of the French work, Voyage dans les Etats du Grand Mogol by Archibald Constable, Travels in the Mogul Empire covers a significant part of the Mughal period. This French travelogue is based on Bernier’s expedition to Mughal India. Much of this work covers the period of Mughal emperors Shah Jahan (r.1628-1658) and Aurangzeb (r.1658-1707). This volume is marked with various distinct themes, as Bernier writes this book with astute observation, critical inspection, and reflection on various things during his visit to India. The author compares it with the economy, society, polity, and other social aspects of contemporary Europe. He generally presents India in a pessimistic manner in terms of economic and social conditions. The book covers the first hand accounts of different regions of Mughal India, such as Delhi, Agra, Bengal, Kashmir, etc., its topography, climate, and ethnography.

India-South Asia interface - Partha S. Ghosh - Bog - Manohar Publishers and Distributors - Plusbog.dk

India-South Asia Interface raises the fundamental question: How does one make sense of South Asia? Conventional wisdom defines it primarily in terms of regional and international politics. The failures of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) are emblematic of that wisdom. Marking a departure from such approaches, Partha Ghosh makes the case that more than merely a political construct South Asia must be understood as a shared social consciousness. Through chapters that explore topics such as threats to democracy, religion and politics, the place of Kashmir, different conceptions of regionalism, the roles of America and China, and the issue of refugees and migrants, he demonstrates that there is no escape from reinventing the region from a people’s perspective. Only this way can South Asia retrieve its soul and replace its cynicism and despair with expectation and hope. Based primarily on Ghosh’s research articles and newspaper columns written over the last five years, the volume can be viewed as an intimate statement of his understanding of the region.

Mirza Muhammad Haidar Dughlat Kurkan - Mansura Haidar - Bog - Manohar Publishers and Distributors - Plusbog.dk

Although valuable works have been written on the Mughal dynasty throughout the world, Mirza Haidar and his achievements failed to get the attention they rightly deserved perhaps because he was constantly surrounded by a galaxy of luminaries hence the need for this humble corrective endeavour. With his multifarious contribution to the develop- ment of Kashmir during the short rule of a decade amidst political problems and internecine warfare, Mirza Haidar Dughlat Kurkan, born in Tashkent, in 1499/1500, proved himself to be a remarkable man of many parts – a gallant general, a good painter, a calligrapher, born poet, excellent administrator and above all a great scholar and historian. Despite extensive patronage to scholars and historians, no official history was compiled and his own magnum opus Tarikh-i Rashidi is far from being a focused court history, memoir, or autobiography. Nevertheless, a man of his calibre was not doomed to be wiped out from pages of history as he had earned enough through his deeds to immortalize his name and fame.
