Political Musings
This book is a collection of 14 essays written through the year 2015 and reflect the events that have influenced the Middle-East and South Asia during the period. The sub-title, ‘Turmoil in the Middle-East’, indicates that a majority of the essays are focused on that region, although two essays examine troublesome incidents that took place in Bangladesh and Pakistan. A number of the essays were also published in the Eurasia Review, where they received critical acclaim and generated some debate and discussion. The primary objective of the essays has been to analyse contemporary events and to delineate the influence that they would have on the nations of the region and also on the international community. In today’s interconnected world, it is not possible for any single nation to remain isolated and unaffected by the major events in another part of the world. The analysis of the events that took place in the Middle-East demonstrates this truism like no other.

Professional Mastery and Air Power Education
"This paper focuses on professional mastery, which is a critical attribute for success for every member of the 'profession of arms.' Dr Sanu Kainikara explores the elements that comprise the profession of arms from an air force perspective. He explains that an air force, being a technical force, is a collection of sub-elements that achieve technical mastery in areas such as flying, engineering, logistics or administration and that the higher level of professional mastery is achieved only when these elements are synchronised and orchestrated into a professional force that can deliver air power. He goes on to explain that the pinnacle of professional mastery is achieved when an air force plays a distinctive role in the grand strategy of national security ... The paper concludes by highlighting some fundamental truths about air forces maintaining their leading edge through a continuous process of education, learning, introspection and the practical application of knowledge"--P. iii.
The Cassandra Effect
Air power has been an element of military power for just over a century. However, its ability to project power as part of a nation’s quest for security and protection has now been acknowledged as second to no other element of national power. Air power’s efficacy has been demonstrated time and again in the past few decades. Technology is the fundamental factor around which the development, application and sustainment of air power is built. This fundamental fact will hold true for the future. This book is a look at the possible future developments that could take place in air power. It provides considered perceptions of how air power will be driven forward by technology and examines the possibilities and pitfalls that will come with its inexorable movement forward. The only surety is that air power will continue to be a critical element of national power well into the foreseeable future.

From Indus to Independence - A Trek Through Indian History
This is the eighth volume of the series on Indian history, From Indus to Independence: A Trek through Indian History and provides a narrative of the reign of the Imperial Mughals. The period analysed in this volume, 1526-1707, covers the rule of the first six Mughal emperors who have been traditionally referred to as the 'Great' or 'Imperial Mughals'. The Mughals invaded the sub-continent mainly because the first Mughal, Babur, a direct descendant of both Timur and Genghis Khan, was unable to craft a kingdom for himself in Central Asia after he had lost his patrimony in Fergana at a young age to his uncles. The first three emperors discussed in this book took the empire to its zenith of powe...
