1990 ల తర్వాత ప్రభుత్వాల అభివృద్ధి విధానాలు పేదల ఫై సునామీలా ఎలా విరుచుకుపడ్డాయో తెలుగునేల మీద ప్రతిపాదించబడిన ఒక్కొక్క సేజు ను కారిడార్ ను పరిశ్రమను ప్రాజెక్టును తీసుకుని వివరంగా వ్యాసాలు రాసారు బాలగోపాల్. ఆ వ్యాసాలన్నిటినీ కిలిపి ఐదు పుస్తకాలుగా తీసుకొస్తున్నట్టు గత ఏడాది ప్రచురించిన అభివృద్ధి — విధ్వంసం పుస్తకంలో తెలియజేశాం. ఆ సిరీస్ లో ఇది రెండవది. అభివృద్ధి మంచిచెడుల మీద బిన్నాభిప్రయాలున్న వారికి సహితం ఒక విషయంలో ఏకాభిప్రాయం ఉంటుందనుకుంటున్నాం. అది ఈ ప్రోజెక్టుల వల్ల జరుగుతున్న విస్తాపన.

பாகிஸ்தான் அரசியலைக் குறித்துப் பேசும் தமிழின் முதல் நூல் இதுதான். காஷ்மீரில் நடப்பது சுதந்தரப் போராட்டம் என்று திரும்பத் திரும்ப அழுத்தம் கொடுத்துச் சொல்லிக்கொண்டிருப்பதன் மூலம், இரு தேசங்களுக்கும் இடையிலான பதற்றத்தை அதிகரித்துக்கொண்டே போவதுதான் பாகிஸ்தானின் நிரந்தர அரசியல்.

સરદાર, સિર્ફ નામ હી કાફી હૈ..... સરદાર વલ્લભભાઈ પટેલનું નામ અને કામ ગુજરાત માટે અજાણ્યું નથી, અને ભારત રાષ્ટ્ર તો આજીવન એમનું ઋણી છે. એમણે રજવાડાનું એકીકરણ કરવાનો ભગીરથ પડકાર ઉપાડ્યો. એમણે દેશને એક સંવિધાન મળે એ માટે પ્રયોસો શરૂ કર્યા અને વહીવટીતંત્રની કરોડરજ્જૂ જેવી સ્વદેશી સિવિલ સર્વિસ બનાવી. આશિષ્ઠ, દ્રઢિષ્ઠ, બલિષ્ઠ ના યુવા લક્ષણો સરદારસાહેબમાં હતા. Hopefull, Firm, Strong ત્વરિત નિર્ણયશક્તિ અને કડવો પણ ગુણકારી લીમડાં જેવો સ્પષ્ટ વાસ્તવવાદ. સરદારસાહેબ તો ગયા, પણ આપણે નવા સરદાર પેદા કેવી રીતે કરીશું ? કેમ ઘડાય સરદાર જેવું અસરદાર અને જોરદાર વ્યક્તિત્વ ?

This is a reporter’s chronicle spanning three generations, backed by firsthand accounts of luminaries, peppered with numerous anecdotes and a passionate examination of his own beliefs. It is as scathing in its takedown of bigotry as it is lucid in charting a blow-by-blow account of our recent past. It is a tribute to the making of India and its founders as well as the affirmation of the will of the Indians to place the power in the hands of the people.

India’s Five-Year Plans were one of the developing world’s most ambitious experiments. After nearly two centuries of colonial rule, planning the economy was meant to be independent India’s route from poverty to prosperity. Planning Democracy explores how India married liberal democracy to a socialist economy. Planning not only built India’s data systems, it even shaped the nature of its democracy. The Five-Year Plans loomed so large that they linked surprisingly far-flung contexts—from computers to Bollywood to Hindutva.

India has been the location of many different empires throughout its long history. The Indus Valley Civilization was home to one of the world’s first civilizations more than 5,000 years ago, which was followed by the Aryan-Vedic culture and then a host of other kingdoms that flourished across the subcontinent. India has also been the birthplace of many religions. The Vedic religion of the Aryans evolved into the Hindu religion, and Buddhism and Jainism were also born in India. By the Middle Ages, India was home to many different religions and ethnic groups.

Twenty-first century India is a culture on fast forward, a society which is changing at breakneck speed, where two out of every three people are under the age of thirty-five. These young men and women grew up with the internet, smartphones and social media. But when it comes to love, the weight of thousands of years of tradition cannot so easily be set aside. An extraordinary work of reportage, The Newlyweds is a portrait of modern India told through the stories of three young couples, who defy their families to pursue love.

There are two kinds of Hindu years: solar and lunar. To understand the lunar calendar, we will first explain the solar year, which governs the lunisolar system. Bengal, including Madras' Orissa, Tamil, and Malayalam districts, used solar years for civil purposes. General religious rites and festivals are regulated by the lunar year and the details of private and domestic life, such as choosing auspicious occasions for marriages and journeys, choosing lucky moments for shaving, etc. Almanacs that follow the lunar year contain details about the solar year.

'Nobody has done more harm to me than Jawaharlal Nehru,' wrote Subhas Chandra Bose in 1939. Had relations between the two great nationalist leaders soured to the extent that Bose had begun to view Nehru as his enemy? But then, why did he name one of the regiments of the Indian National Army after Jawaharlal? And what prompted Nehru to weep when he heard of Bose's untimely death in 1945 and to recount soon after, 'I used to treat him as my younger brother'?

There are not many Indian heroes whose lives have been as dramatic and adventurous as that of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. That, however, is an assessment of his life based on what is widely known about him. These often revolve around his resignation from the Indian Civil Service, joining the freedom movement, to be exiled twice for over seven years, throwing a challenge to the Gandhian leadership in the Congress, taking up an extremist position against the British Raj, evading the famed intelligence network to travel to Europe and then to Southeast Asia.

Of all the many unexplained phenomena, experiences, and objects in the world, the ones that hold a great deal of fascination for most people are known as "ancient anomalies". These are ancient objects by scientific measure but in form or construction that appear to be relatively modern. They are impossible fossils, out-of-time technology, anachronistic artifacts, or even ancient ruins. In other words, if our history of the world is correct, they just should not exist.
