By: Harsh V. Pant,Yogesh Joshi

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

India has come a long way from being a nuclear pariah to a de facto member of the nuclear club. The transition in its nuclear identity has been accompanied by its transformation into a major economic power and underlines a pragmatic turn in its foreign-policy thinking. This book provides a historical narrative of the evolution of India’s nuclear policy since 1947, as the country continues its pursuit for complete integration into the global nuclear order. Situating India’s nuclear behaviour in this context, the book explains how India’s engagement with the atom is unique in international nuclear history and politics. Aided by declassified archival documents and oral history interviews, it focuses on how status, security, domestic politics, and the role of individuals have played a key role in defining and shaping India’s nuclear trajectory, policy choices, and their consequences.

Assessing Maritime Power in the Asia-Pacific

The Impact of American Strategic Re-Balance

By: Greg Kennedy,Harsh V. Pant

Leading academics from around the world, who specialize in analysing maritime strategic issues, deliberate the impact of the American 'pivot' or 're-balance' strategy, and the 'Air-Sea Battle' operational concept, on the maritime power and posture of a number of selected states. Intending to strengthen US economic, diplomatic, and security engagement throughout the Asia-Pacific, both bilaterally and multilaterally, the re-balance stands out as one of the Obama administration's most far-sighted and ambitious foreign policy initiatives.

Unheard Voices

Stories of Forgotten Lives

By: Harsh Mander

The Bhopal gas tragedy, the communal carnage of 1984 and 1989 in Delhi and Bhagalpur, the Orissa supercyclone, among others, are part of collective memory. But, often forgotten are those who actually were affected by these happenings, and others like them, street children, sex workers, dalits, HIV and leprosy patients, the homeless and the famine-stricken. These are people who in many ways are pushed to the outermost, most hopeless margins of society in the name of development and progress. In Unheard Voices,civil servant and social activist Harsh Mander draws on his own and his colleagues’ experiences; to explore the lives of twenty such people who have survived and coped despite all odds. In Bangalore, for instance, a onetime street child now counsels other such children seeking education and self-employment; in Bhopal, an eleven-year-old has brought up two of his siblings after they were orphaned in the gas leak, at great emotional cost. A young sex worker fights for the rights of her HIV positive sister-workers when their ‘home’ in Hyderabad’s red-light area is demolished. A patient combats the stigma of leprosy by helping to establish a leprosy colony in Ashagram. In Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, a blind musician couple struggles to get land from the government to set up a colony for the blind. Going beyond mere survival, these stories are a testimony of how people have overcome their condition with humbling courage, resilience, and humanism. Marked by understatement and rare warmth, they bring out their determination to seek a better life in the face of enormous suffering. Reaffirming people's creativity and indomitable spirit, this book challenges all those who despair about India.

Employment Of Migrant labourers

Issues and Challenges

By: Dr Harsh Mani Singh

The Covid-19 triggered pandemic has overturned the social and economic pools, the two main poles of our human life. People facing quarantine, isolation and different other hygiene protocols are forced to face lockdown as the only option of prevention. While the lockdown has put all the economic activities of the entire world at grinding halt, the formidable employment crisis has started coming up. Out of the different aspects of unemployment arising out of this lockdown, the reverse migration of labourers is alarming. An economy facing the problem of unemployment in the preCovid period has been trying hard to create new opportunities of employment using different strategies oriented towards self employment, rather making our youth as employment provider and not the employment seekers. (1) One of the most coveted and sought for area is Artificial Intelligence which can be used at Larger scale to create self employed youths and group of youths. This streategy definitely needs learning and training. But there is large scale ambitious training programs of low skill, skill and high skill development among the youths of the country. Emergence of Gig economy is the best example of such novel initiatives.In the era of social distancing,on the one hand , the artificial intelligence is bound to be promoted further and on the other hand the problem of reverse migration is creating an unprecedented kind of employment problem before the country. In India the service seekers are rapidly moving towards a gig economy for reasons such as - (i) Cost-cutting (ii) Skilled workforce (iii) No middleman (iv) Flexibility of timing, work space and amount of service. (v) Time saving. etc. India has a great potential for going towards Gig economy due to the tendency of expanding supply of freelancer service providers with lower-skilled labour.In this context the reverse migration of labour force can be a boon in disguise. Small cities, towns and even in villages too the promotion and practice of freelance service providers can be instrumental in creating local level job opportunities for surplus local workforce (migrated labour). (2) Another important area may be the Rural Roads, Rural Houses, Toilets, Rain Water harvesting reservoirs, Solar Energy System Installation, Warehouse building etc. constructions where large number of labourers can be absorbed by curtailing the gestation period of such ongoing and upcoming projects. (3) Import substituting small production units like Toys,Electrical small and basic items like bulbs, switches,plugs and sockets, wires of household uses, home decor small materials etc. can be produced at local levels by absorbing local workforce. Now it is important to see that how India can establish a novel, viable and productive balance between all the above possible alternatives and reverse migration of labourers. The basic objective of this Webinar is to have a fruitful discussion and discourse over the different aspects and instruments of employment creation for migrant labourers through different means and reach a policy oriented useful conclusion.

Aeroplane Science In Ancient India

By: Harsh Dev Kumar

As it is said that the discovery of the airplane took place in the modern period, but it is clear in various culture texts that even in the Vedic period and after that, in theRamayana, Mahabharata period, there were airplanes which were accessible to sage scientists. Scientists from different countries of Europe, America and other countries have written various books after doing various researches on the aircrafts of ancienttimes. The evidence of the presence of airplanes in ancient times becomes clear from the various airstrips and aeroplane instruments found by the ArchaeologicalDepartment. The research done in the laboratories of India and in different countriesregarding the book Varhad Vimana Shastra of Maharishi Bhardwaj, the most authentic of ancient times on the aircraft, also proves that the events described in this book and various Sanskrit books are true. After reading various books, I have presented a review study, in which the Vedas, Ramayana texts, Mahabharata texts and other Sanskrit texts, where the description of aircraft is described in brief. Along with this, the review study of the books which have been written by the scientists of different countries after doing their research have also been published in it. Even in the modern period, Shivkar Bapuji Talpade was the first to make an airplane for life, it also describes it. Along with this, the list of various research papers and various texts etc. This book will prove to be a book with ocean in the throat, giving knowledge regarding ancient aircrafts. Along with this, research scholars and students studying on various aircraft will also enjoy reading and will get a lot of information.

Mins Performance for Parallel Processing

By: Harsh Sadawarti

The Performance of a system depends directly on the time required to perform an operation and number of these operations that can be performed concurrently. High performance computing systems can be designed using parallel processing. The effectiveness of these parallel systems rests primarily on the communication network linking processors and memory modules. Hence, an interconnection network that provides the desired connectivity and performance at minimum cost is required for communication in parallel processing systems. Multistage interconnection networks provide a compromise between shared bus and crossbar networks.

By: Ashish Khetan,Bachi Karkaria,Chris Khetan,George Koshy,Harsh Joshi,Julio Riberio,Rahul Shivshankar

Bringing together the careful research and analyses of renowned journalists and police officials, 26/11 Mumbai Attacked explicates the reality behind the brazen attack on India's sovereignty in November 2008 when ten heavily armed terrorists held an entire city to ransom by the sheer force of their zealotry. The scene-by-scene accounts, incisive analyses, and an exclusiveinterview with a LeT representative along with a description of its training camp in Muridke, Pakistan, reveal how the failure of Indian intelligence agencies landed Mumbai in the quagmire of terrorism. Paying homage to the brave security officers who lost their lives fighting the terrorists, 26/11 Mumbai Attacked reiterates the chilling reality that India is under grave threat and the clock is ticking before the next big attack.
