As per the findings of the Korean author, the Indian business community of Baniyas i.e. Marwaris, Gujaratis, Jains, and others has ruled the Indian economy world for ages. These Baniya merchant groups with their origins in Gujarat, Rajasthan, and around are merely 2% (about 2.5 million) of the Indian population, and currently run 8-9 out of 10 top conglomerates in India. The author has credited Indian Baniyas and their 3000 years of Karma legacy for making India the economic superpower of the world. These Indian Baniya groups are and will remain dominant not only in traditional sectors but also in the new generation industries like IT-enabled e-commerce and other services. The book talks abo...

The people of India have voted decisively to give Narendra Modi the job he coveted. He has a free hand to unite Indians in joint endeavour for national greatness and forge a social compact based on citizenship and not on identity. This book is a non-judgemental look at Modi from the viewpoint of the liberal Indian. It examines his economic stewardship of Gujarat and philosophy of governance. Modi has an opportunity to create economic conditions for people to pursue dignified livelihoods rather than depend on the state for jobs and doles. Hopefully Modi will take everybody along and also reshape the BJP as a liberal, right-of-centre party.

A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF TEN YEARS OF THE MODI GOVERNMENT. A collection of essays that cover the whole gamut of social, cultural and political change across India during the last ten years, Indian Renaissance brings together diverse voices: senior journalists, political leaders, policymakers and public intellectuals. They examine the singular influence of Modi and his transformation of the BJP, and the development initiatives that have changed the lives of Indians even in the remotest of villages. There are essays on India’s relationship with other nations, especially the US, and on the newly revived relations between India and the Arab world. Yet others reflect on the digital revolution, the challenge of educating a billion people, and the new (intern)nationalist paradigm that is being given shape by the government of India.
A unique window on the world of nineteenth-century amateur music-making provided by the study of domestic musical arrangements of opera.
Narendra Modi’s energetic personal diplomacy and promise to make India a ‘leading power’ surprised many analysts. Most had predicted that his government would concentrate on domestic issues, on the growth and development demanded by Indian voters, and that he lacked necessary experience in international relations. Instead, Modi’s first term saw a concerted attempt to reinvent Indian foreign policy by replacing inherited understandings of its place in the world with one drawn largely from Hindu nationalist ideology. Following Modi’s re-election in 2019, this book explores the drivers of this reinvention, arguing it arose from a combination of elite conviction and electoral calculation, and the impact it has had on India’s international relations.
