Delhi Durbar

Delhi Durbar

By: Krishan Singh

`I was taught to take everything I could by any means possible without feeling any sense of remorse, and that coloured the way I saw the world, a world where the strong stomp on everyone below them and doing good is for the naïve. I had been accidentally groomed to meet the requirements of the economic miracle that hit India in the early nineties, where the needs of the individual finally began to be addressed and seen as important, even necessary. Capitalism started seeping into our very marrow and socialistic gangrene seeped away, having only found a place in history as a well-intentioned failure. Nehru?s dream was finally dead and I think I helped deliver its death knell...? In the heart of Lutyens? Delhi ? as politicians, power-brokers, media moguls, and bureaucrats go peaceably about their business of amassing unlimited personal wealth, occasionally getting ensnared in their own webs of scandal and sleaze ? the President of India, an ex-army chief, throws everyone into shock by defying his rubber-stamp status and threatening to establish military rule. Only Jasjit Sidhu, his sometime son-in-law, erstwhile corporate banker and money launderer, and newly returned to India as personal financial adviser to Prime Minister Paresh Yadav, can bring him to heel. Brilliantly plotted and bitingly written, Delhi Durbar is an astute and gripping political novel, in which the outrageous twists and turns of the empowered corrupt and their fiercely self-serving agendas makes for a political thriller of a uniquely Indian flavour.

Metal Matrix Composites

By: Nikhilesh Chawla,Krishan K. Chawla

In the last few years, a significant increase in applications of MMCs has taken place, particularly in the areas of automotive, aerospace, electronics, and recreation. These include continuous fiber reinforced MMCs for cables in power transmission, high temperature superconducting wires, particulate MMCs in civilian aircraft and automotive applications, and high volume fraction, high thermal conductivity substrates for electronic packaging. Nevertheless, as with any novel material systems, there is a lack of fundamental understanding on the part of practicing engineers and designers. This book would seek to address these issues, in a thorough and cohesive manner, as well as to provide students and scientists with a basic understanding of MMCs. This book will emphasize the synergistic relationships among processing, structure, and properties of metal matrix composites.

Engineering a Life

A Memoir

By: Krishan K. Bedi

Included on BookBub’s "The Most Exciting Memoirs Coming Out in 2018” list Krishan Bedi came to the United States in December of 1961 at the tender age of twenty. He had only $300 in his pocket, and he had made it out of his small village in India on sheer faith, determined to get education in the US. For him, there was no option but to succeed—so he began his new life in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he had to adapt to the culture shock not only of being in the US but a Punjabi man in the South in the 1960s. Engineering a Life is an examination of Bedi’s life, and how he has handled the plethora of curve balls thrown his way with determination, humor, and an unwavering faith that everything would work out. This is a book about values and faith and the importance of friendship, family, and hard work. It’s a story about achieving the American Dream, proving that no matter how thoroughly you map out your life’s journey, no matter how many blueprints you draw up, when you veer off the course you’ve plotted—as we all do, somehow, in the end—you end up where you’re supposed to be.

The book in nine chapters, provides an insight to life of a common man; not in form of biography but as actually lived at different places in pursuit of overall growth. Leaving aside fear of success or failure, managed the life with risk inclination and dynamism by embracing new opportunities instead of hanging up with nitty-gritty issues. My life is my responsibility and have lived as original self without drowning inner voice for fear of others. Perseverance has helped doing things with own initiative lest others feel indispensable. The book also contains useful information on places, people, public service, historical events, political dexterity of those at helms of affairs and new experiences of the era; which should be an educative material for old as well as new generation readers.

The Taliban's Virtual Emirate

The Culture and Psychology of an Online Militant Community

By: Neil Krishan Aggarwal

Applying cutting-edge psychiatric theories to an analysis of online Taliban literature in four languages, Neil Krishan Aggarwal constructs a game-changing narrative of the organization's broad appeal and worldview. Aggarwal, a cultural psychiatrist, focuses on the Taliban's creation of culture, evoking religion in Arabic and English writings, nationalism in Dari sources, and regionalism in Urdu texts. The group also promotes a specific form of argumentation, citing religious scriptures in Arabic works, canonical poets in Dari and Urdu writings, and scholars and journalists in English publications. Aggarwal shows how the Taliban categorize all Muslims as members and all non-Muslims as outsiders; how they convince Muslims of the need for violence; and how they apply the insider/outsider dichotomy to foreign policy. By understanding these themes, Aggarwal argues, we can craft better countermessaging strategies.

The War Ministry

By: Krishan Partap Singh

Bharat News Ticker: Prime Minister Azim Khan takes office, becomes first Muslim to lead India... Pakistan rejects peace talks after hostilities end in the Indo–Pak war... Unconfirmed reports suggest Deputy Prime Minister Karan Nehru’s disenchantment with PMO... Tensions with China escalate as India is accused by Beijing of ‘sheltering Tibetan extremists and abetting instability in Tibet’... Ulema leaders ask PM to cater to Muslim interests or face backlash... US presidential candidates debate South Asian crisis... Opposition parties prepare for the possible fallout of a Khan–Nehru split... Assuming power in the messy aftermath of a war with Pakistan, and mounting hostility with a belligerent China, Azim Khan inherits an India in crisis. Heading a shaky coalition, his leadership is questioned at every turn – most visibly by Deputy PM Karan Nehru, his once-best friend and, more insidiously, by other scheming detractors hidden within his government. India’s first Muslim PM must earn the trust of the Indian people with his leadership and prove he is the man with the ability to heal the wounds of the past and chart a path to a united and bold future for the nation. Buffeted by history, conflicted by ideology, and curbed by his own limitations, Azim and his team of idealists face the ultimate test. Will they succeed? The concluding volume of the bestselling Raisina Series, The War Ministry is a gripping account of the day-to-day functioning of a prime minister and his office.

Karmath Jeevan

Passionate About Karma

By: Krishan Aneja

The first most pertinent question I faced before I could start narrating my story was, what title would sum up the essence of my journey? I thought the title should be apt and inspiring enough for me to stay focused on basic nuances that formed my core belief. A lot of churning spread over few weeks helped and I zeroed in on Karmath Jeevan. To me it means a world and is the most apt description of my life. Simply put, Karmath Jeevan means an action-oriented life; a life dedicated to sincere hard work as a dharma (duty) without undue anxiety for the results. I consider I lived in practice by this principle though not as an articulated thought. The house-hold environment during my childhood days and formative years led me to follow the elders especially my mother, my brother-in-law and two sisters whose daily routines, though apparently ordinary and simple, greatly impacted my mind and my thought process. The visits to temples along with them and listening to discourses of holy men/women influenced me. I learnt; one should focus on the task ahead, act sincerely with honesty of purpose and be satisfied. That was said to be a clear path to leading a meaningful, satisfying and fulfilling life.

Visions of Empire

How Five Imperial Regimes Shaped the World

By: Krishan Kumar

In this extraordinary volume, Krishan Kumar provides us with a brilliant tour of some of history's most important empires, demonstrating the critical importance of imperial ideas and ideologies for understanding their modalities of rule and the conflicts that beset them. In doing so, he interrogates the contested terrain between nationalism and empire and the legacies that empires leave behind."--Mark R. Beissinger, Princeton University "This is an excellent book with original insights into the history of empires and the discourses and rhetoric of their rulers and defenders. Kumar's writing is lively and free of jargon, and his research is prodigious. He manages to bring clarity and perspective to a complex subject."--Ronald Grigor Suny, author of "They Can Live in the Desert but Nowhere Else": A History of the Armenian Genocide "A masterly piece of work."--Anthony Pagden, author of The Burdens of Empire: 1539 to the Present
