Colonel Sandeep Mehra has the enviable task of being one step ahead of an increasingly domineering China, more so due to a formidable presence in the neighboring countries. Sandeep is boldly innovating the concept of seeking civilian co-operation in keeping the Dragon at bay. Supporting Sandeep is the brilliant Venkat who will go to any lengths to avenge his one and only love; and the maverick, cricket-crazy Samik Thapa who could never let an opportunity to help his motherland go by. Once a scion of a famed American business house, Mike Baxter is fatefully drawn into helping the Tibetan cause. Along with his technologically savvy friend, Greg, they could become a force to reckon with. Can Sandeep garner all his experience and support to be one up on the enemy? Will the sacrifice of countless unsung heroes be rewarded?

I, Me, & Myself

When I Met the Others in Me

By: Vivek Mehrotra

I, Me, & Myself is the story of a professional who unfortunately suffers a heart attack, forcing him to rest. While he is on the bed away from his daily routine, he gets an opportunity to introspect his life. He discovers two different voices within him, which keep sharing their contradictory remarks. One that always urges to follow the path of righteousness, whereas the other acts as a devil's advocate, always putting forward a conflicting idea or an opinion. Their contradicting stances puzzle the author as he finds it extremely difficult to ascertain who is right. Based on various triggers while introspecting his life’s events, the author beautifully personified the role of three components of the human psyche, i.e., 'id', 'ego' and 'super-ego'. The 'id' allures us towards the pursuit of all sorts of pleasure, whereas the 'super-ego' coerces us to pursue ideological goals and perfection. In between these two, 'ego' makes us aware of reality, playing the role of a referee; controlling, guiding, moderating the desires of the 'id' and the 'super-ego’. Readers will undoubtedly be able to identify with the situations they face daily in the corporate world alongside dealing with what keeps happening in their personal lives. The book offers multiple takeaway messages on various topics that will help readers both personally and professionally.

Tectonics of the Indian Subcontinent

By: A.K. Jain,D.M. Banerjee,Vivek S. Kale

This books documents the salient characters of the tectonic evolution of the Indian subcontinent. It showcases the well investigated subcontinent of Gondwana. The book is linked to an updated geological and tectonic map of this region on 1:12,000,000 in scale. The Indian subcontinent displays almost uninterrupted and unique the geological history since about Eo-Archean (~3800 Ma) to recent, with the development of many Proterozoic deformed and metamorphosed fold belts around Archean nuclei, and enormously thick undeformed platform deposits. After their stabilization during late Proterozoic, the subcontinent underwent Paleozoic rifting and deposition of coal-bearing thick sequences, followed by enormously-thick outpouring of Deccan volcanics as a consequence of huge mantle plume. The youngest event in its evolution is the Cenozoic Himalayan Orogenic Mountains, spanning the area between Nanga Parbat and Namcha Barwah; a part of which extends both in Pakistan and Myanmar.

Who Killed Shastri?

The Tashkent Files

By: Vivek Agnihotri

It was the time of the Cold War. After defeating Pakistan in the second biggest armed conflict since the Second World War, Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri arrived in Tashkent, former USSR, to sign a peace accord. After days of extended negotiations, the peace agreement was signed between India and Pakistan in the presence of Alexei Kosygin, the USSR Premier. Hours later, at 1.32 AM, Shastri died in his dacha. Abruptly. Mysteriously. Soon after, his official Russian butler and the Indian cook attached to the Indian ambassador were arrested by the Ninth Directorate of the KGB under the suspicion of poisoning Shastri. No post-mortem was done. No confession was achieved. There was no judicial enquiry ever. It's been 50 years since his death, and we still don't know the truth. Was it really a heart attack? Was he poisoned? Did the CIA kill him? Was it the KGB? Was it a state-sponsored murder? Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri along with his motley team of inexperienced assistants turned whistle-blowers investigate the mystery behind Shastri's death and find themselves in a mirror-world where all and everybody is suspect. But they cannot remain distant, for the painful story of India touches their own lives as they discover how the country was put up for sale.

Human Factors and Ergonomics: Syllabus for Indian Universities

M.Tech./M.S./M.Des./M.Eng./Ph.D.

By: Vivek Kant, Prathamesh Bachche, Rammohan Maikala

As India moves towards the "Vision 2047" in a quest for a better future, there is a growing need for the design of technology and infrastructure to enable well-being, safety, and productivity for Indians. Human Factors and Ergonomics is one discipline that supports the well-being of people in terms of design, maintenance, management, regulation, and governance of technology. Due to the lack of disciplinary programs that address the totality of the discipline, there is a need for capacity building in the academic sector for trainingthe next generation of practitioners. This sample syllabus, while covering the breadth of the discipline, also provides a foundation for Indian universities to fulfil the requirements of Human Factors and Ergonomics. This syllabus can be creatively adapted to suit specific master's programs in science, engineering, technology, and design. This syllabus provides a basis for a holistic academic program that supports the next generation of learners in India.

Lies, Lies and More Lies

The Campaign to Defame Hindu/Indian Nationalism

By: Vivek

It is no coincidence that Indias recent rise as a major global power has been closely linked to the increasing influence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Indian politics. Driven by the philosophy of Hindu/Indian Nationalism, this entity, more of a movement than a political party, has served to instill in Indians a sense of confidence and restore lost self-esteem in a people who suffered foreign domination for over a thousand years. Detractors of this ideology have attempted to paint this philosophy as hate rant and supremacist indoctrination. Far from being that, it is the agonizing cry for justice and dignity of a people long suppressed and long tortured; a cry that embodies the agony of the past and a new-found confidence of the present and which together hopes to ensure a secure future: a future that envisions an inclusive all round economic and social development of a people. The BJPs spectacular victory crafted by Narendra Modi in the 2014 Indian elections serves to emphasize the central role of Hindu/Indian Nationalism in Indian politics, its broad appeal and its comprehensive agenda. Therefore it is imperative for the world at large to attempt a better understanding of this phenomenon; an objective assessment based on hard facts and sound logic instead of the skewed image propagated in the West by its ideological opponents. This book is a must for international statesmen, politicians, businessmen, academics, and others alike who wish to interact with India and Indians

Shyam Benegal’s India

Alternative Images

By: Vivek Sachdeva

This book examines Shyam Benegal’s films and alternative image(s) of India in his cinema, and traces the trajectory of changing aesthetics of his cinema in the post-liberalisation era. The book engages with the challenges faced by India as a nation-state in post-colonial times. Looking at hybrid and complex narratives of films like Manthan, Junoon, Kalyug, Charandas Chor, Sooraj Ka Satvaan Ghoda, Zubeidaa and Well Done Abba , among others, it analyses how these stories and characters, adapted and derived from mythology, folk-tales, historical fiction and novels, are rooted in the socio-political contexts of modern India. The author explores diverse themes in Benegal’s cinema such as the loss of home and identity, women’s sexuality, and the status of dalits and Muslims in India. He also focuses on how the filmmaker expertly weaves history with myth, culture, and contemporary politics and discusses the debate around the interpretive value of film adaptations, adaptation of history and the representations of marginalised communities and liminal spaces. The book will be useful for students and researchers of film studies, cultural studies, and the humanities. It will also interest readers of Indian cinema and the social and cultural history of India.

Indian Aircraft Industry: Possible Invention for Success in the Twenty First Century

Possible Invention for Success in the Twenty First Century

By: Group Captain Vivek Kapur

India’s Aircraft Industry, despite having been formed as early as in December 1940 has been unable to meet the equipment needs of the aviation users, whether military or civil, in the country. As a consequence India imports all its aircraft needs from abroad. This situation needs to change. This book starts from an examination of the importance of aviation to the country both for military as well as or civil purposes. From here it goes on to trace the development of aviation in India. Then the book examines the Indian Aircraft Industry from studying the aircraft projects carried out by India. From these aircraft projects lessons and learning have been culled for use later in the book. Thereafter there are case studies carried out of the two leading airpower capability countries, the USA and erstwhile Soviet Union / Russia. There are also case studies of Brazil and China as these two countries were behind India in aviation in the 1950s but are globally competitive today, unlike India. The lessons and learning from the case studies are compiled and then used finally to develop possible models that could help make India’s aircraft industry globally competitive.
