How India Became Territorial

Foreign Policy, Diaspora, Geopolitics

By: Itty Abraham

Why do countries go to war over disputed lands? Why do they fight even when the territories in question are economically and strategically worthless? Drawing on critical approaches to international relations, political geography, international law, and social history, and based on a close examination of the Indian experience during the twentieth century, Itty Abraham addresses these important questions and offers a new conceptualization of foreign policy as a state territorializing practice. Identifying the contested process of decolonization as the root of contemporary Asian inter-state territorial conflicts, he explores the political implications of establishing a fixed territorial homeland as a necessary starting point for both international recognition and national identity—concluding that disputed lands are important because of their intimate identification with the legitimacy of the postcolonial nation-state, rather than because of their potential for economic gains or their place in historic grievances. By treating Indian diaspora policy and geopolitical practice as exemplars of foreign policy behavior, Abraham demonstrates how their intersection offers an entirely new way of understanding India's vexed relations with Pakistan and China. This approach offers a new and productive way of thinking about foreign policy and inter-state conflicts over territory in Asia—one that is non-U.S. and non-European focused—that has a number of implications for regional security and for foreign policy practices in the contemporary postcolonial world.

The Making of the Indian Atomic Bomb

Science, Secrecy and the Postcolonial State

By: Itty Abraham

In 1974 India exploded an atomic device. In May 1998 the new BJP Government exploded several more, encountering in the process domestic plaudits but international condemnation and a nuclear arms race in South Asia. This book is the first serious historical account of the development of nuclear power in India and of how the bomb came to be made. The author questions orthodox interpretations implying that it was a product of the Indo-Pakistani conflict. Instead, he suggests that the explosions had nothing to do with national security as conventionally understood. Instead he demonstrates the linkages that existed between the two apparently separate discourses of national security and national development, and explores their common underlying basis in postcolonial states. The result is a remarkable book that breaks new ground in integrating comparative politics, international relations and cultural studies.

EXPLORING THROUGH THE BIBLE

A Personal Bible Study

By: Itty Mathews

This study was done during personal devotion, and notes were made to keep intact what was gathered during that time. While reading through the bible the author made some simple notations, outlines of selected sections, and selected some verses that the author felt were promises, directions, advises, assurances, songs, praises, and prayers. The author copied some of the verses to keep the full meaning intact or full value of the section, and in other sections, the author paraphrased or summarized them. Information presented in this book is gathered and assembled in a way the user of this book can understand major key information in a thumbnail fashion. This book can be a helpful tool for beginning theological students, pastors, and lay leaders, as well as laymen and families who are serious about studying the Bible in an easier fashion. This book can be used for personal study and devotion as well as for bible study classes.
