Country without prisons letter to Dhiya a very special little girl. 10. The Valley of Sorrow a fable for those too young to read letters. Thank you. The parliament attack case has generated many controversies but in this book Nandita Haksar throws light on the range of political legal and historical issues that have arisen in the campaign to save two Kashmiri men from the gallows. She does this through a series of open letters written to public figures personal friends and comrades in which she links the immediate issues of the campaign with the larger problems of secularism nationalism and democracy. Through her letters the reader will discover the horrifying world that Kashmiris inhabit the terrifying reality of illegal arrests dark damp prison cells and the barbarity of the torture and pain of a child waiting for his father to be hanged. Nandita Haksar's central concern is that the war against terrorism is systematically weakening the democratic foundations of our country widening the chasm between Hindu and Muslim citizens and allying India with the most hated states in the world the USA and Israel. Her letters express the anguish of a citizen who is helplessly watching her country become authoritarian and fascist without any effective political resistance. Nandita has not cringed from either naming the problems or those responsible for creating them. This book is written neither in anger nor in frustration but with a deep sense of solidarity with her fellow citizens. Her letters are those of an Indian patriot who rejects official definitions of nationalism. The book's dedication in celebration of friendships reflects the emotions imbued in each letter. She asserts her belief in the magic of love friendship and solidarity. This book is a must read for all those interested in building bridges between Hindus and Muslims Kashmiris Indians and Pakistanis and feminists and fundamentalists. And for those who are too young to read the letters Nandita has a heart warming fable. 2007 pp.

It exposes the complicity of these pillars of democracy in lowering human rights standards in the name of war against terror. The author weaves his own story about how overnight he lost all his other identities and became the brother of a terrorist when his older brother S A R Geelani was picked up by Delhi police's special cell and framed in the Parliament attack case and sentenced to death. Despite the fact that both the Delhi High Court and Supreme Court acquitted Geelani of the charges he remained imprisoned by the image of the Kashmiri as terrorist. This book will be useful to anyone interested in media studies or criminal jurisprudence and to those who have concern for the future of Indian democracy and secularism. 236 pp.

Index. This volume examines India Japan relations from different perspectives political economic societal and cultural. In an increasingly globalizing world in the wake of the information explosion there has arisen a greater necessity for understanding between nations on issues of common concern. While interdependence has increased so is the need to address issues affecting the humanity. Japan has already proved to the world how a nation can become strong economically by peaceful means and sound economic diplomacy. Japan's spread of economic interests worldwide put it in a position where it can contribute to the designing of an architecture that conforms to the interests of the world. India's emergence as an economic powerhouse and the high economic growth rates registered in the past few years is being watched with awe. Japan's established economic pluralism and India's aspiring economic pluralism endow both nations with the kind of complementarity that if properly harnessed can become a tremendous resource and asset for the world. In this perspective this book makes a modest attempt to piece together perspectives of political scientists historians cultural administrators artists economists Japanese language and Japanese studies specialists of India to see how both India and Japan can play roles in global affairs. This volume is the outcome of a seminar that The Japan Foundation New Delhi Office organized in March 2005. The papers were divided into four sections theme wise and debated by scholars. The paper presenters and scholars dwelled at length on how both the countries can define appropriate roles for themselves either solely or jointly to their mutual advantage and for furthering the interests of the world. 468 pp.

This book is the outcome of the proceedings of the 7 Asian Security Conference organised by IDSA in January 2005. Eastern Asia was chosen keeping in view the remarkable transformation this region has been witnessing since the end of the Cold War. The special focus on Japan was to underscore the profound changes that Japan is effecting to its security and foreign policies and their likely impact on the rest of the region. Given its enormous complexity while the region continues to be the most promising in terms of economic dynamism its security remains a cause for concern. Intra regional economic integration and cooperation is growing apace but there are many issues that may imperil regional peace and stability. It is this dynamic that the conference wanted to capture. The book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate on the East Asian security dynamic. 648 pp.

A Christian approach to politics. 6. Challenges before Indian Christianity. Comprehensive bibliography. Index. Political governance in our postmodern days needs fresh ideas. The prevalence of poverty is an expression of injustice. This exposes the inability of politics to deal with the issues of truth and justice. In this book the author brings out the major historical and philosophical discussions which contributed towards the evolution of the state as an institution of politics and democracy as a form of governance. The author believes that politicians will be better positioned to address the issues of injustice only if they are able to derive spiritual resources from religion. Religious resources can make politicians conscientious while handling power. In this context the author brings out an exegesis of the Gospel of Jesus which transformed Western political societies. India is fortunate in having a multi religious society and its political system can benefit from this. The challenge is to develop a common mission of religions which can encounter political society and make it more responsive. 280 pp.

The greater East Asia war and the Indian National Army. 7. Modern Japan's Asianism and Rash Bihari Bose. Postscript. Bibliography. Index. Rash Bihari Bose (1886 1945) was a revolutionary leader fighting the British in India and was one of the key organizers of the bomb attack on Lord Hardings and the Gadar Conspiracy at Lahore. He fled to Japan to avoid a certain death sentence and spent the latter half of his life there. He became close to the right wing nationalists in Japan and was instrumental in almost persuading the Japanese authorities to support the Indian Freedom Struggle. He did the spadework for the creation of the Indian National Army (INA) before passing the baton on to Subhash Chandra Bose towards the end of his life. While the post war generation of Japanese may not know of Rash Bihari Bose he was a well known figure in Japan in the years before the Second World War where he was active trying to secure foreign help for Asia's liberation from the clutches of imperialist powers and a regular writer on Indian affairs in Japanese newspapers and magazines of the time. Nakamuraya in Shinjuku Tokyo famous for its Indian curry was the place where Rash Bihari was provided shelter for over three months by his Japanese well wishers defying the deportation order against him by the Japanese Government. Very few people are aware that Rash Bihari Bose was instrumental in introducing an authentic Indian curry to the Japanese. Pre war Japan has enamored researchers the world over for obvious reasons. However the Japanese language has been the stumbling block as very little literature especially written by the Japanese themselves is available in English on this era. It is obvious from this book too. Besides presenting a nail biting account of Rash Bihari's travails torn between his anti colonialist stance and his allegiance to the Japanese Asianists for saving his life which has been totally unknown till date it provides rare insight into Japan's expansionism in Asia viewed from the Japanese angle. This book is a must read for those interested in Japan's policy towards Asia particularly in China Korea South East Asia and India between 1920 and 1945. 324 pp.
