"The dominant discourse in media debates before, during, and after elections in India revolves around “anti-incumbency”. Even seasoned commentators and analysts who have covered dozens of elections reflexively chant anti-incumbency like a mantra. Yet, electoral data for more than two decades suggests that the discourse should rather focus on the “pro-incumbency” phenomenon in Indian politics.
In the first round of 2022, barring Punjab, assembly elections in four other states UP, Uttarakhand, Manipur, and Goa created history by returning incumbents to power. In 2021, not only did Mamata Bannerjee win a third consecutive term, but Pinnari Vijayan defied history by winning a second consecutive term.
Jayalalitha did the unimaginable in Tamilnadu. While it all started with Sheila Dixit in 1998 who won three consecutive terms in Delhi, the winning formula was fine-tuned further by Narendra Modi, Nitish Kumar, Naveen Patnaik, Dr. Raman Singh, Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Tarun Gogoi, Pawan Kumar Chamling and many more Pro-incumbency champions.
The book identifies and analyses factors responsible for making this a pro-incumbency century for India: the relentless rise of personality cults; ever-growing Presidential nature of electoral contests; the success of targeted welfare schemes and the structural weakness of opposition apart from the maturing split voting phenomenon.
The book plugs a gaping hole in serious electoral analysis in contemporary India."

- Description: हमारी परम्परा में यह माना गया है कि गद्य कवियों का निकष होता है। यह निरा संयोग नहीं है कि प्राय: सभी भारतीय भाषाओं में महत्त्वपूर्ण कवियों ने अच्छा, सरस और रोशनी देनेवाला गद्य लिखा है। हम इस पुस्तक माला में ऐसा कवि-गद्य प्रस्तुत करने के लिए सचेष्ट हैं। शंख घोष न सिर्फ़ इस समय बाङ्ला के सबसे बड़े कवि हैं, वे भारतीय कवि-समाज में भी मूर्धन्य हैं। उनका गद्य हम दो खंडों में प्रस्तुत कर रहे हैं। यह दूसरा संचयन है। हम मानते हैं कि इसे हिन्दी में लाकर हम हिन्दी के सर्जनात्मक-बौद्धिक भूगोल में कुछ विस्तार कर रहे हैं। स्वयं हिन्दी की आलोचना-भाषा में इससे कुछ उद्वेलन सम्भव है। यह उनकी सूक्ष्म जीवन और काव्य-दृष्टि का साक्ष्य है : कई विषयों पर नए ताज़े ढंग से सोचने के लिए हमें प्रेरित भी करता है। उनके यहाँ बारहा ऐसे अनुभवों को गद्य में रूपायित करने की चेष्टा है जो अक्सर गद्य के अहाते से बाहर रहे आए हैं। —अशोक वाजपेयी

Baba & Me
- Author Name:
Dr. Soma Ghosh
- Book Type:
- Description: When I met Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India on the 26th of March 2015, my enthusiasm for music was at its lowest ebb. During our conversation, Modiji was intrigued by my dream project, 'Sangeet Gram', an academy in the memory of Ustad Bismillah Khan. But, I was surprised to find that he shared this dream with me, having himself built a museum to preserve the endangered instruments of India. The following year arrived and I began preparations for Ustad Bismillah Khan's centennial celebrations, including the construction of Sangeet Gram. It was then that I received the honour of being inducted into the National Implementation Committee for Centenary Celebrations and my efforts now extend to holding celebration concerts in India and abroad. I had already been writing an account of Baba's life; the priceless anecdotes that he had shared and the surreal moments that we had spent together. In order to commemorate his musical genius and celebrate 100 years of his unparalleled contribution to music in this field, I deemed it fit to publish it all in book form. I hope this book provides its readers with an insight into Baba's life, and that they too celebrate his simplicity, his undying perseverance and patience with his art, the genius of his music and my musical journey, through this book-'Baba & Me'.

- Description: प्रियंका मिश्र की कविता का मूल स्रोत प्रकृति है। मिट्टी और पानी संबंधी उनकी कविताओं में जीवन भरा है। प्रकृति के अलावा आराधन, अंतर्मन, संबंध और अभिप्रेरणा संबंधी उनकी कविताएँ इस संग्रह में संकलित हैं । उनकी कविता में समूची धरा के लिए जगह है--पूरी धरा को वैभव से युक्त होना चाहिए। वे धरा को केवल वैभव से भरने के लिए आकुल-व्याकुल नहीं हैं, उनकी काव्य-चिंता यह भी है कि पूरी धरा में प्रेम का परिवेश कैसे निर्मित हो। यह काव्य-चिंता वही कर सकता है, जिसका कविमन वेद ऋचा हो और जो जन्मदाता को ही जीवन समर्पित करता हो : उन्हें समर्पित है यह जीवन, जो जीवन के दाता हैं । मेरा ईश्वर मेरी मम्मी, पापा भाग्य विधाता हैं । प्रियंका की कविता जीवन और मनुष्य को बेहतर व सुंदर बनाने का स्वप्न देखती है | वे जीवन को भौंरों का गुंजन, सागर का मंथन मानती हैं और उससे उपवन को महकाना चाहती हैं। प्रियंका मिश्र की कविता हृदय को स्पर्श मात्र नहीं करती, भीतर उथल-पुथल भी मचा देती है। मन को मुक्त कर देती है। कुछ ऊपर उठा देती है । कविता हमेशा हर तरह के मनुष्य की पीड़ा, उसके दुःख का खात्मा चाहती है। --कृपाशंकर चौबे अध्यक्ष, जनसंचार विभाग महात्मा गांधी अंतरराष्ट्रीय हिंदी विश्वविद्यालय, वर्धा
