After decades of imperfect secularism, presided over by an often corrupt Congress establishment, Nehru’s diverse republic has yielded to Hindu nationalism. India, the first major democracy to fall to demagogic populism in the twenty-first century, is racing to a point of no return. Since 2014, the ruling BJP has unleashed forces that are irreversibly transforming the country. Indian democracy, honed over decades, is now the chief enabler of Hindu extremism. Bigotry has been ennobled as a healthy form of self-assertion. Anti Muslim vitriol has deluged the mainstream. Religious minorities live in terror of a vengeful majority. Congress now mimics Modi; other parties pray for a miracle. In this highly acclaimed critique of post-Independence India from Nehru to Narendra Modi, revised and expanded with a new chapter, K.S. Komireddi charts the dismaying course of the world’s largest democracy. He argues that the missteps of the nation’s founders, the mistakes of Nehru, the betrayals of his daughter and her sons, the anti-democratic fetish for technocracy carried to extremes by Manmohan Singh—all of them prepared the way for Modi’s march to absolute power. If secularists fail to wrest the republic from Hindu supremacists, Komireddi argues, India may go the way of Yugoslavia and collapse under the burden of sinister ethno-religious nationalism. A gripping short history of modern India, Malevolent Republic is also a passionate plea for India’s reclamation.
Women’s Cricket has come a long way, with many people still unaware of its progress. Primarily male-dominated in India, the game has often been associated with names like Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and off-late, the swashbuckling Virat Kohli. Amidst all this, the mantle of taking Indian women’s cricket forward has been quietly shouldered by a very committed team of young women who made it big on the international cricket scene by making it to the finals of the Women’s Cricket World Cup in 2017. The gusto with which the India eves brought India to the anvil victory, once again only reconfirms the growing, maturing capabilities of Indian women in an erstwhile male-dominated sport. Each woman in the team has a specific character that appears louder in their performance than in their personality while giving their best for the country. Most of them come from humble, poor backgrounds but with far much richer dreams to make their country proud. Their effort should not be looked upon merely as a performance but should be seen in the light of an excruciating struggle from a tender age to the highest level of the game. The book emphasizes displaying these strong characters as great role models for women in other sports, industries and even the least privileged section of society to follow and improve their lives.

Veer Shivaji was born on April 16, 1627 in Shivneri Durg. His father was Shahji Bhonsle and his mother was Jija Bai. During that time in India, there was the rule of Muslim Emperors. Hindu warriors were shedding the blood of their own kith and kin and were engaged in pleasing the Muslim kings. Hindu blood was shed and Muslims ruled over India. At the time of the birth of Shivaji, his father Shahji Bhonsle went to the south to fight with his opponent, Mughal Knight Darya Khan Rohilla. Therefore he could not reach Shivneri to celebrate the birth of his son. After killing Rohilla he reached Shivneri to see his son. He was very pleased to see such a beautiful son. But he was not able to stay long with his son. He went towards south India at the invitation of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.
There is a lot to learn from this league of extraordinary gentlemen. They make such fine ambassadors of this great country of ours. While picking these 10 cricketers I did not have to think much because each of these gentlemen have made an impact on our lives in the last 25 years. Whether it is the Fabulous Four of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, or the spin duo of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, fantastic Virender Sehwag, flamboyant Yuvraj or the ever cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni or the magical Zaheer Khan, they have all made an impact in different ways. I have a lot to learn from each of these gentlemen because they have different qualities. Tendulkars humility is a lesson for all of us, Dravids steely resolve is worth emulating, Ganguly and MS Dhoni offer contrasting lessons in leadership skills. Similarly the fighting spirit of the spin pair of Kumble and Harbhajan or the devil-may-care attitude of Sehwag or the sheer natural ability of Yuvraj, coupled with the self-confidence of Zaheer. All this has impacted me and no doubt billions of others. As I compiled this book, I was left wondering how wonderful it was for Indian cricket to have all these gentlemen play almost at the same time. Very rarely have cricket teams been built around individuals who are the best at what they do. It is indeed a privilege and a honour to have seen these extraordinary cricketers in the same era. One can learn so much from simply playing back their exploits. The videos of their efforts still make for compelling viewing. As you would imagine I am a complete cricket nut. For me nothing else mattered. It therefore felt great to compile my thoughts on these 10 extraordinary cricketers.
