“जो कुछ मैं कर सका, वह जीवन भर मुसीबतें सहन करके विरोधियों से टक्कर लेने के बाद कर पाया हूँ। जिस कारवाँ को आप यहाँ देख रहे हैं, उसे मैं अनेक कठिनाइयों से यहाँ ला पाया हूँ। अनेक अवरोधों, जो इसके मार्ग में आ सकते हैं, के बावजूद इस कारवाँ को बढ़ते रहना है। अगर मेरे अनुयायी इसे आगे ले जाने में असमर्थ रहे तो उन्हें इसे यहीं पर छोड़ देना चाहिए, जहाँ पर यह अब है; पर किन्हीं भी परिस्थितियों में इसे पीछे नहीं हटने देना है। मेरी जनता के लिए मेरा यही संदेश है।”

वॉल्ट डिज्नी को पूरी दुनिया जानती है। वे खुद को ‘वॉल्ट’ के संबोधन से पुकारा जाना पसंद करते थे। वे वही लोग थे जिन्होंने ‘मिकी माउस’ के जनक थे, वहीं उन्होंने डिज्नीलैंड के जादुई साम्राज्य की स्थापना की। वॉल्टर इलियस डिज्नी का जन्म 5 दिसंबर 1901 को शिकागो में हुआ। मेहनतकश वर्ग के प्रतिनिधि इलियस और फ्लोरा डिज्नी की वे चौथी संतानें थीं। सन् 1906 में डिज्नी परिवार शिकागो छोड़कर मार्सलीन (मिसूरी) में जाकर बस गया। परिवार के कुछ सदस्यों ने चित्रांकन के प्रति वॉल्ट की दिलचस्पी को प्रोत्साहन दिया था और शिकागो में वापस आने पर उन्होंने आर्ट क्लासों में हिस्सा भी लिया था। वे रेडक्रॉस के पोस्टर और संपादकीय कार्टून बनाने लगे थे। सन् 1928 में वॉल्ट ने प्रथम ध्वनियुक्त कार्टून फिल्म ‘स्टीम वोट विली’ प्रदर्शित की। सन् 1948 में ‘ट्रू लाइफ एडवेंचर शृंखला’ की पहली फिल्म ‘सील्स इन अलास्का’ प्रदर्शित हुई, जिसे अगले साल ‘अकादमी पुरस्कार’ से सम्मानित किया गया। इस पुस्तक में वॉल्ट डिज्नी के जीवन का चित्रण करते हुए इस बात की पड़ताल की गई है कि किस तरह उन्होंने मनोरंजन जगत्, शिक्षा क्षेत्र और इतिहास को प्रभावित किया तथा आनेवाली पीढि़यों के लिए प्रेरक आदर्श बन गए।

Nine years have passed since the ethnic conflict ended in Sri Lanka. The hope that Sri Lankan refugees would return to the island has been belied. This book highlights the dilemma faced by Sri Lankan Tamil refugees amid the twists and turns in Indo-Sri Lankan relations. The global refugee phenomenon and the Indian experience, the movement of Sri Lankan refugees to different parts of the world, the rise and fall of the Tamil Tigers and the competitive nature of Sinhala politics, which stands in the way of ethnic reconciliation, are analysed in detail. The peculiar problems faced by refugees of Indian origin are highlighted. The Author pleads for the enactment of a National Refugee Law that should balance the humanitarian concerns of refugees with the security interests of the Indian State.

Day one. This has its own history. Are these questions raised due to ignorance of the constitution? If so, then this book opens the windows and doors to a constitution that has been satirically described as a ‘paradise for lawyers’. It creates the possibility for vital air. From the experience of the editors, it can be said that even prominent lawyers are unaware of the constitution because it is extremely complex. How can it become comprehensible? Anyone wishing to address this question will find more than enough material in this book. The complexity of the constitution is another reason why it could not become a beloved text for the ordinary citizen. Just as a citizen believes in their religious book, the constitution should serve as the religious text for the system of governance. Until this occurs, deliberations should continue. Any discussion is only relevant and successful when it addresses the core question: how can the fundamental issue regarding the constitution of India be recognized in discussions? The answer to this is extremely simple. India has its own character, its own culture, and it also has its own distortions. We can only understand our distortions and character under the torchlight of our culture. It is under this light that we must create our present times. Our current constitution defines the religion of our state. How Indian or un-Indian is this constitution, essentially? The process of the formation of this constitution should be scrutinized based on logic, and both its past and present should be examined. This is why this book is titled: Revisiting Our Constitution. This book is a collection of well-researched essays that explore the constitution. Academic efforts have been made in this book to analyze and perceive the constitution from the perspective of ‘Ram Rajya’. A single-government system emerges from the constitution. Ram Rajya has been considered the ultimate ideal of any governance system in India. Mahatma Gandhi also stated that Ram Rajya was the goal of Independent India. On the sesquicentennial year of Gandhi, the noted academic journal Manthan has taken on the responsibility of reviewing the journey of India’s constitution. This effort is not as simple and easy as it might seem. In reality, it is difficult and complex.

The Congress Party has often spoken about fascism and fascist tendencies. The leaders of this party have always accused other leaders of fascist tendencies. But the reality is entirely different. The three chapters in this book provide a chilling account of this party's contempt for democratic traditions and its dalliance with dictatorship. This is an eye-opener for most Indian citizens, who are unaware of the incidents quoted in this book. All in all, this is an exposé to alert citizens and to make them eternally vigilant so that the core values in the Indian Constitution and the democratic traditions remain intact.

It was a court battle between the first Prime Minister of India Jawahar Lal Nehru and Organiser, an English weekly backed by the RSS that led to restrictions on freedom of expression which we are debating today. The RSS had defended the sacred Sikh Shrine ‘Darbar Sahib’ at Amritsar twice when Muslim League led mobs attacked it in 1947. Did you know that one single anti-India and pro-China book ‘India’s China War’ written by Anglo-Australian journalist Neville Maxwell shaped the global narrative against India for more than five decades. It was a Swedish journalist Bertil Lintner who challenged it and turned the tables on Chinese propaganda with his book ‘China’s India War’ but even Indians don’t talk about it. Everyone remembers the 1962 war when India lost to China but there was another war in 1967 on Sikkim border where India took the revenge of 1967 and defeated China. Most of us don’t even know about this great victory! Indians have been made to remember the 1962 defeat and forget the glorious victory of 1967. Many such stories which comprise the forgotten history of India are part of this book. This forgotten history of India has been buried deep down in the dusty archives waiting to be told.

Maoism in India is an attempt to study and analyse the movement. Already, a number of left intellectuals and scholars have studied the movement and written about it. My attempt has been to find out the difference between the Naxalite and CPI (Maoist) movements. Is there any difference as such? Though the Naxalite movement was born in Naxalbari in 1967, it is still striving to build a sustainable support base. The Naxalite movement got its name from Naxalbari village, where the first major uprising took place. Also, through the merger of the People’s War and the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC), the Communist Party of India (Maoist) was formed in 2004, which aims to overthrow the government of India through people’s war. Why an organization which was perceived as the forum of the “deprived and alienated sections of the population” described as “the single biggest internal security challenge”. Usually, people confuse Maoists and Naxalites and cannot clearly distinguish between the two terms. The media simply adds to the confusion. The Communist Party of India (Maoist) aims to overthrow the government of India through people’s war. I also tried to find out the reasons that led the Maoists, in recent times, to focus more on arms intervention than on organising a mass resistance movement.

The Dharmic traditions – Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism – share much in common, not with standing a number of variations among them. In all these traditions, the scriptures, writings, and practices hold compassion as an integral part and a supreme virtue. This collection of essays by leading scholars from different disciplines aptly captures the religious and spiritual dimensions of these traditions as they relate to compassion. Most of the authors are practitioner-scholars and experts in their respective disciplines, including the sciences, humanities, social sciences, law, and religion. The experts met in September 2014 at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, for two days of lively deliberations under the auspices of the Uberoi Foundation for Religious Studies, which was established to spread awareness and promote understanding of the Dharmic traditions throughout North America. After addressing the ‘central and fundamental’ knowledge of these traditions and the common features and interactions among them, the essays here discuss compassion from various perspectives, such as relationship with the natural world and the environment, selfless service, and the treatment of animals. A final set of essays sheds light on the significance of compassion in each of these Dharmic traditions. As a comparative study, this unique collection presents a clear picture of the central theme of moral and compassionate conduct in the Dharmic traditions.

"India is home to hundreds of tribal communities, each with their own unique cultures, traditions and ways of life. Among these are the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs), who are identified as being at risk of losing their distinct identities, livelihoods and traditional practices. This book takes an in-depth look at the PVTGs residing in the state of Jharkhand through the analytical lens of anthropology. It consists of untold stories on its indigenous people as a tribute to their reliance, wisdom and unwavering Spirit. Through a chronological exploration, the book aims to understand the pivotal role played in shaping regional identity with political historicity, livelihood practices, indigenous knowledge, dynamic interest with local life and to investigate the indigenous’ contribution. The authors evaluate current policies related to the preservation and empowerment of PVTGs. The book highlights the urgent need to protect and uplift these ancient but vulnerable communities before their irreplaceable cultures are lost forever."

‘Bharat first’ is in many sense a trendsetting book. As a pioneering text, it deals with the transparent vision of one of the chief architects of the nation Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar with authentic evidences. The wholistic panorama of the then Bharat in logically embroidered chapterisation with Persnickety precision breaks the conventional barriers raised against the real personality of Dr. Ambedkar. The book is among the very few books that explores versatile character of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar with proper evidences and arguments. For future researchers, these well examined articles would play the role of foundational stones in the search of real personality of Constitutional architect of ‘BHARAT, that is India’.
