Jean-Baptiste Tavernier
This book is a biographical and illustrated account of the life of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, a French national who traveled extensively for almost forty years of his life—travels that took him to most of the European countries, to the Ottoman Empire, to Persia, to Southeast Asia, and to India. This writer cannot think of any other personality, at any time in history, who wandered around for so long and for so far. Tavernier has a number of achievements to his credit—achievements of having written extensively on the areas he traveled, the people he met, and the diverse activities he pursued. His memoirs became a blockbuster in the seventeenth century, outshining any other publication of the time—even of those who were known to be heavy with ideas.

Foreign Policies of India’s Prime Ministers
The book is on the Prime Ministers of India since Jawaharlal Nehru. A chapter is devoted to each of them with a focus on their foreign policies. The broad organisational framework, designed and deployed in this publication, begins with a brief analysis of their formative years, their perceptions of the international system, and the architecture of their foreign policies, before delving into their decisional process, and before concluding with an evaluation of their role. All the Prime Ministers were obviously not interested in international affairs. Though the dimensional size of the country had unavoidably pushed all of them to deal with foreign affairs, their role was variegated and their performance was unequal. While the Nehru-Gandhi family were the icons of Indian diplomacy, there were others like Morarji Desai, V.P.Singh, H.D.Deve Gowda, Chandra Shekar, etc. who were really marginal either because their mandate was limited by time or by interest. The uniqueness of the book lies in the fact that the author has dealt with all the Prime Ministers, including the ones for whom foreign policy was not crucial.

Diplomatic Journey
In this book, the author deals with the totality of India's Foreign Policy since its independence in 1947. The focus of the book is on how India's Foreign Policy is determined, what are its permanent features and who decides its framework. It is divided in three parts. Part I is devoted to an analysis of the environment factors (domestic, regional and global) that influence India's Foreign Policy. Part II conceptualises India's foreign policy goals - the goals of security, of modernisation, of regional hegemony and of international role playing. Each of them has been defined, analysed and evaluated. Part III deals with decision making process. First of all the author deals with the different institutions that are concerned with foreign policy, and evaluates their role and their impact. But the most interesting aspect of this part is the decision maker. Here author focusses on the Prime Ministers of India and their role in India's Foreign Policy.
India's Foreign Policy, 1947-92
"The book which is an excellent exposition, has to be read critically and thoughtfully by our ambassadors, counsellors and others charged with directional changes in India's foreign policy as it portrays the profile from 1947 to 1992 and shifts the paradigm from political diplomacy to economic diplomacy by way of prognosis so as to project India's image with a sophisticated understanding of India's foreign policy." -USI Journal "This book rightly brings into focus the basic change in India's foreign policy from the initial years - a change which has made India more a regional actor than a world actor. It also rightly points out that with the decise of the Soviet Union, the globalization of t...
