Complex Rivalry

The Dynamics of India-Pakistan Conflict

By: Surinder Mohan

While a substantial body of research explains how the conflict between India and Pakistan originated and developed over time, a systematic and multivariate inquiry cutting across different IR paradigms to understand this rivalry is rare or limited. Surinder Mohan contributes to the understanding of India and Pakistan’s rivalry by presenting a new type of framework, also known as complex rivalry model. This comprehensive model, by not limiting its theoretical tool-kit to any single paradigm, is unique in its approach and better positioned to debate and answer baffling questions that the single-paradigm-based studies address rather inadequately and in isolation. This book, through an examination of fifty-seven militarized disputes between 1947 and 2021, explains the life cycle of India-Pakistan rivalry in four phases: initiation; development; maintenance; and a possible transformation/termination. Mohan delineates five specific conditions that evolved the subcontinental conflict into a complex rivalry: first, its survival in spite of the Bangladesh War and the end of the Cold War; second, its linkage with other rivalries; third, the inclusion of nuclear factor; fourth, the dyadic stability in the militarized disputes and hostility level despite changes in the regime type; and fifth, the dyad’s involvement in a multilayered conflict pattern. To break this deadlock and mitigate their longstanding differences, Mohan proposes that India and Pakistan must reframe their national priorities and political goals so that the new situation or combinations of conditions would assist their peace strategists to downgrade the dyadic hostility and implement risky policies to make headway to a promising transformation.

The Indian Middle Class

The Indian Middle Class

By: Surinder S. Jodhka,Aseem Prakash

Who exactly are the middle classes in India? What role do they play in contemporary Indian politics and society, and what are their historical and cultural moorings? The authors of this volume argue that the middle class has largely been understood as an ‘income/ economic category’, but the term has a broader social and conceptual history, globally as well as in India. To begin with, the middle class is not a homogeneous category but is shaped by specific colonial and post-colonial experiences and is differentiated by caste, ethnicity, region, religion, and gender locations. These socio-economic differentiations shape its politics and culture and become the basis of internal conflicts, contestations, and divergent political worldviews. The authors demonstrate how the middle class has acquired a certain legitimacy to speak on behalf of the society as a whole, despite its politics being inherently exclusionary, as it tries to protect its own interests. Further, perceived as an aspirational category, the middle class has a seductive charm for the lower classes, who struggle to shift to this ever elusive social location.

Medieval Panjab in Transition

Authority, Resistance and Spirituality c.1500 – c.1700

By: Surinder Singh

This book reconstructs the historical transition in the undivided Panjab during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It shows that the assertion of Mughal and Afghan suzerainty faced sustained resistance from local elements, particularly the autonomous tribes and hill chiefdoms. In central plains, Dulla Bhatti mobilized the toilers of his ancestral domain and, leading a relentless fight against the Mughal oppression, became an abiding symbol of resistance in the collective memory. The multicultural legacy of Panjab evolved through diverse strands of spirituality. The jogis, wedded to monastic discipline, supernatural abilities and land grants, gained acceptance through their exertions for social betterment. The Sabiri and Qadiri silsilas channelized mystical urges towards the technique of prime recitation. The popular verses of Shah Husain, Baba Lal and Sultan Bahu proposed a loving relation with God. The legendary lovers, perishing in the struggles against patriarchal forces, promoted a merger of dissent with spirituality. In the city of Lahore, the material pursuits and cultural life were visible in a mosaic of descriptions, including episodes of social tension. The book understands the upliftment of depressed castes as a defining feature of Sikhism. It places egalitarian concern of the Sikh Gurus alongside the anti-caste protests of Namdev, Kabir and Ravidas. Owing to scriptural authority and congregational equality, the members of depressed castes attained a numerical majority in the Sikh warrior bands that shook the foundations of the Mughal state. The work relies on evidence from the Persian chronicles, Mughal newsletters, Sufi writings, Sikh literature and Punjabi folklore. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Caste in Contemporary India

By: Surinder S. Jodhka

Caste is a contested terrain in India’s society and polity. This book explores contemporary realities of caste in rural and urban India. It examines questions of untouchability, citizenship, social mobility, democratic politics, corporate hiring and Dalit activism. Using rich empirical evidence from the field across Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and other parts of north India, this volume presents the reasons for the persistence of caste in India from a new perspective. The book offers an original theoretical framework for comparative understandings of the entrenched social differences, discrimination, inequalities, stratification, and the modes and patterns of their reproduction. This second edition, with a new Introduction, delves into why caste continues to matter and how caste-based divisions often tend to overlap with the emergent disparities of the new economy. A delicate balance of lived experience and hard facts, this persuasive work will serve as essential reading for students and teachers of sociology and social anthropology, social exclusion and discrimination studies, political science, development studies and public policy.

9/11

The Inside Story

By: Surinder Singh Sidhu

Dr. Surinder Sidhu lays the foundation for 9/11: The Inside Story by first considering the murders of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, RFK and John Lennon. He states that in all these killings, the hidden hand of the CIA is visible. Operation Northwoods was meant to create a situation in which American ships will be destroyed, innocent people will be killed and Cuba will be blamed for the attacks. A counter attack will be launched on Cuba to finish off the nation. Thus unfolds the future strategy of the Vulcans in America, as well as their treachery, bribery, and double agents in the CIA, FBI and other intelligence agencies. The Vulcans turn their eyes on the oil-rich nations to bring regime changes in these countries, and 9/11 serves as an excuse to attack Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and now Iran as the next target. The attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon were carried out by hijacking planes. The hijackers got their training in American schools, but who paid for the training? Events like 9/11 bring out the best and worst in mankind. What other questions should we be asking? About the Author: Dr. Surinder Singh Sidhu is a medical doctor in India. "My basic instinct to know the truth inspired me in writing this book. I was very upset to know about the mysteries of 9/11 and the never-ending wars that followed. I love peace and want the people of this earth to live in peace." Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/SurinderSinghSidhu

Sikhs of New Jersey

The Pioneers from Punjab

By: Surinder Kaur Puar

The book Sikhs of New Jersey: The Pioneers from Punjab travels throughmore than a century of time. It escorts the reader back to thestruggles of pioneer Sikhs who suffered torture and racial discrimination at the hands of Canadian and West Coast Americans whiletrying to establish themselves as a SikhAmerican immigrant community. Indian Sikhmigration to the East Coast of America wasmore favorable because of the relaxed immigration laws, and the migrants to that area were educated, thus allowing them to pursue higher education and better career opportunities. is book clearly describes how a handful of New Jersey Sikh families established a vibrantcommunity and a place of worship through their farsightedness, determination and valor in the early 1970s. The internal confl icts of the SikhGurdwara management, the writer points out, are in no way unique to the Sikhs; they inflict all religious places. Even though the author rarely suggests solutions, she is hoping that the younger, educated generation will takea proactive lead in the management of theirGurdwaras and find answers to the challenges which they will face in the future. It is no coincidence that the publication of this book is occurring in the year 2019, the year of the 550th birth celebration of Guru Nanak. It is intendedto bring home the universal message of Baba Nanak to all humanity that Ik On Kaar-the same light-spirit prevails in each of us and LOVE is the way to reach within!!!Surinder Kaur Puar is also the author of Lightof Santpura, Mother's Day Bliss and PunjabiLanguage Simplifi ed. She hopes to inspire all other Sikh Gurdwara Sangat and Interfaith Communities to write their own stories to preserve their past for future generations!

Wasted Talent in "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison

Self-Worth and Society’s Acceptance. Meeting the Parameters

By: Surinder Kaur

Scientific Essay from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: The Bluest Eye is simple yet a difficult narrative of a twelve year old black girl Pecola’s desire to have blue eyes. The question arises why does a black girl want blue eyes? Why does she want to look differently? What causes this desire in her? As the story unfolds we get answers to these questions and also a realization that how the simple things like cup images or candy wrappers can be a strong factor in influencing an individual’s psychological response to beauty and his/her own self importance. The present paper while building on existing criticism tries to explore the popular culture, for instance children items (cups, dolls, candies) and movies and its individual psychological response. These commercial products play a pivotal role in establishing beauty aesthetics. Regular exposure to these ideals results in their idealization and a longing in people to have these defining physical features of beauty. It creates an environment of superiority and inferiority. People who possess the defining features (physical) are considered superior to those who don’t have these physical features. This adversely affects their psyche and becomes a reason for their downfall.
