The Exiled Pandits of Kashmir
This book discusses all the questions related to Kashmiri Pandits and their relation and current issues regarding their return to Kashmir. The book explores the importance of return of Kashmiri Pandits for Kashmir and both major Kashmiri communities, especially those who really want to return home, out of their own volition and for all right reasons. The book shows how to bring about a reasonable and realistic degree of practical and sustainable reconciliation between the two communities, whilst trying to make them stand in each other’s shoes, understand each other’s perspective and pain and then self-introspect sincerely, so that a bridge of mutual trust and acceptance is rebuilt between the two communities, which can then allow those Pandits who genuinely want to return cross over and be home.
We Humans
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed humans, bringing disruption and fear to our lives, but also an opportunity for reassessment of our place in the world and in history. In this book, Bill K Koul neither calls for ideal humans nor for perfect or ideal societies, but challenges readers to accept the 'good', the 'bad' and the 'ugly' in everyone and, in doing so, to be less judgemental of each other. We Humans examines the big news stories that have happened over the course of the pandemic, particularly the protests around the world against black deaths in custody, the conflicts in Kashmir and between India and China, and the geopolitical influence of the US. Koul delves into the reasons behind our mysterious behaviour at individual and political levels, and gives a commentary on our greatest challenges and our opportunities, with a glimpse of what life may look like after the pandemic if we seize this moment to make our world anew.
Authoritative Democracies
This book comments on growing authoritarianism in democracy and suggests how it ought to be instead. It asks if some degree of authoritarianism is the need of the hour to address potentially existential issues facing the human race. Readers are encouraged to analyse the state of democracy in their own countries and verify if it meets their expectations, or if it is just a myth or an imposter, or a necessary but imperfect compulsion in the absence of a perfect alternative. The book presents a commentary on the state of democracy in some of the world’s leading democracies. It aims to challenge the human mind, which seems to be getting accustomed to not having to think, thanks to a constant bombardment of information—real and fake and in-between—that it receives through social and print media, which is freely accessible through smartphone to which it has become addicted. It discusses how the drivers of capitalism – through their business-like connections with powerful and influential politicians and celebrities—could be cleverly manipulating the gullible human mind and exploiting the system to their own material benefit.
