Urdu/Hindi: An Artificial Divide
In a blow against the British Empire, Khan suggests that London artificially divided India's Hindu and Muslim populations by splitting their one language in two, then burying the evidence in obscure scholarly works outside the public view. All language is political -- and so is the boundary between one language and another. The author analyzes the origins of Urdu, one of the earliest known languages, and propounds the iconoclastic views that Hindi came from pre-Aryan Dravidian and Austric-Munda, not from Aryan's Sanskrit (which, like the Indo-European languages, Greek and Latin, etc., are rooted in the Middle East/Mesopotamia, not in Europe). Hindi's script came from the Aramaic system, simi...

Hard Kill
London. The city is reeling from a series of deadly attacks by a new radical terrorist group. One man is on the front-line. Rizwan Sabir. A former al-Qaeda operative, he was lifted by Counter-Terrorism Command - and now battles his old comrades. Terror has a new enemy - and he's taking no prisoners. Working above the law and below government radars, Riz must lead a dangerous double life with the help of Holly ""Bang-Bang"" Kirpachi, a Burlesque dancer and internet hacker with a talent for breaking codes - and bones. With time running out, Riz must put his life on the line to identify the terrorists. And silence them forever - before he is silenced himself. ""Absolutely rocks. Every line reeks with the raw authenticity of a writer who knows first-hand what the hell he's talking about."" - Tom Cain, bestselling author of the Sam Carver thrillers. Hard Kill was originally published as 'Riz'.
Critical Perspectives on Indo-Caribbean Women's Literature
This book is the first collection on Indo-Caribbean women's writing and the first work to offer a sustained analysis of the literature from a range of theoretical and critical perspectives, such as ecocriticism, feminist, queer, post-colonial and Caribbean cultural theories.

Mahatma Gandhi in Cinema
This book analyses 100 years of Hindi cinema, India’s principal film industry, to explore how much space it has given to Mahatma Gandhi, the most prominent leader of the Indian struggle for freedom, and his principles. It compares films on Gandhi with the written literature on him, and juxtaposes the celluloid Gandhi with the man who walked on the earth ‘ever in flesh and blood’. From his childhood through his legal practice in South Africa to his non-violent struggle against the British Empire in India, the book covers all major events of his life and their portrayal on the silver screen.

Conflict Management and “Whole of Government”: Useful Tools for U.S. National Security Strategy (Enlarged Edition)

To meet these new challenges more effectively, the Obama administration advocated strengthening civilian instruments of national power and enhancing America's whole-of-government (WOG) capabilities. Although the need for comprehensive integration and coordination of civilian and military, governmental and nongovernmental, national and international capabilities to improve efficiency and effectiveness of post-conflict stabilization and peacebuilding efforts is widely recognized, Washington has been criticized for its attempts at creating WOG responses to international crises and conflicts for overcommitment of resources, lack of sufficient funding and personnel, competition between agencies, ambiguous mission objectives, ..
