Soft cover. Zustand: New. India's emergence as a new major power in the global sphere has been noted across the spectrum. India's capacity to succeed in emerging and sustaining herself as a significant global player is, however, crucially dependent on the evolving dynamics within the spheres of its neighbourhood and India's capacity to make this rise acceptable and enthusiastic. In this connection, it is important to note that the concept of 'region' or 'neighbourhood' has been enhanced to bypass geographical divisions and now includes not only South Asia but also India's extended neighbourhood consisting of West Asia, Central Asia along with Southeast and East Asia. India's neighbourhood policy, launched under Prime Minister Narendra Modi since 2014, not only undertook a fresh initiative towards India's immediate neighbourhood in South Asia but also recalibrated itself and extended into other Asian regions. This was perhaps necessitated by the failure of the SAARC to ensure regionalism in any substantial manner but more importantly, this is an acceptance of the pre-colonial and colonial linkages that had evolved and thrived till the emergence of the post 1945 global order signified by the Cold War dynamics. Given the importance of India's neighbourhood policymaking within the context of India's global diplomacy, the recently established Kolkata based think tank Bandhan-HP Ghosh Centre deemed it fit to initiate a research project trying to cover key areas of India's neighbourhood policymaking. The present volume, titled India and the Neighbourhood: Case Studies and edited by Suranjan Das and Shantanu Chakrabarti, is an outcome of the first phase of research under this project and covers India's evolving relations with her South Asian neighbours; with Central Asian Republics (CARs); Afghanistan and Bhutan.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Pranab Bardhan has been arguing for a long time that a Universal Basic Income policy can be effective in a country like India to relieve economic insecurity to a large extent. Bardhan has also constructed a thorough critique of the political direction India has been taking over the last few years leading to considerable social stress. For him, the health of a country's political economy depends on its people's capacity to exercise their democratic rights as well as their capacity to earn and spend. Thus, empowerment of the people is linked organically with income for the people. Bardhan's argument has emerged stronger in the wake of the COVID-19 onslaught. Many people, especially in the vast informal sector and in the salaried sector too, have suffered loss of income during the long spells of lockdown. Ensuring a basic income for them is crucial for social insurance as well as the rejuvenation of the economy as a whole. Indian Polity and Economy: A Mirror to Difficult Times, brings together some of Bardhan's articles written over the past five years on Universal Basic Income, the current political situation, and political-economy and policy, culminating in the recent pandemic period. Three interviews which he has given to media persons on these issues are also included. These will help understand Bardhan's standpoint more clearly. In one of the articles, he engages in a discourse with a prominent friend of his, Thomas Piketty, on how applicable the latter's arguments against the basic income are to India. Articles comparing the Indian situation with other countries, particularly Indonesia and China, put the picture in perspective.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The last few years have been marked by a consistent attack on the democratic matrix of our country. Constitutional and human rights of people, most notablythe fundamental right to equality, the right to live with dignity, to question the state and dissenthave been trampled with impunity. Institutions of oversight have been systematically emaciated, with the functioning of the Parliament gravely compromised. Rise of fascism and crony capitalism, and the concomitant increase in violence in society have had a devastating impact on the lives of people, especially those belonging to the Dalit, Adivasi, Muslim and other marginalised communities. The COVID-19 crisis too has exposed manifold the apathetic and anti-poor nature of the state. Amidst the oppression and intimidation, however, the country has witnessed strong peoples' movements against injustice and tyranny. In December 2019, people all over India rose to protect the Constitution when the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was brought in along with National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR). Exactly one year after the CAA protests shook the country, millions of farmers took to the streets to protest against the anti-people farm laws passed by the Parliament. Reclaiming India: Views of Public Intellectuals is the culmination of a public lecture series organised by ANHAD in 2021-22; it hopes to start a conversation to explore the contours of a society that is more just, equal and aligned to the Constitutional values of liberty and fraternity. The lectures, on relevant themes by leading public intellectuals, as under, will provide an alternate vision for the country.…
