Soft cover. Condition: New. The two nation theory, championed by the Muslim League, led to the partition of India and the creation of Pakistan in 1947. But the two wings of Pakistan, called West Pakistan and East Pakistan separated by 1600 km of Indian territory, could not live in harmony despite religious homogeneity. Their ethnic, linguistic, economic and cultural diversities could not be bridged by an emotional appeal to religion. Consequently, fissures started erupting in the politics of Pakistan soon after the Independence and with each passing year these widened. The Indo - Pak War of 1965 also contributed to this growing divide . Bereft of appropriate defense infrastructure, East Pakistan felt isolated and abandoned . Finally, the malfeasance of Pakistani leadership, after the 1970 elections, proved the proverbial last straw on the camel's back.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. This book uncovers the little-known world of ancient Indian espionage. The history of the espionage in India is as old as man. The earliest references to it are traceable in the Rgveda. Spies known as spaṣ were employed by deities like Indra, Varuṇa and Soma to gather information relevant to the governance and welfare of the kingdom. The system continued in the post-Vedic age and the services of the spies were utilized by rulers. References about the system are given in the epics, Nīṭi works, Purāṇas etc. Spies were not just secret agents but trusted instruments of governance helping rulers to maintain order and ensure security of the state. The book explores the evolution and development of the intelligence system from Vedic times onwards. How the system came into vogue, how it operated, what was its role in implementing four policies of the state, and in safeguarding the kingdom against internal unrest and external danger, etc. are the aspects covered in the book. The role of diplomats—who often acted as spies in plain sight and the ingenious methods they used to gather and transmit information discreetly, is also analysed. The objectives of the espionage system have also been discussed. The espionage system in ancient India was not random or ad hoc but structured and deeply integrated into governance. The principles that guided it remain as relevant as ever in today's complex security environment. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book bridges the past and the present. It invites scholars and general readers alike to rediscover India's civilisational wisdom related to the security of the state. It is hoped that the book will be a valuable resource for both scholars and professionals engaged in national security and diplomacy.…
