The nullification of Article 370 and enactment of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019, had been landmark legislative actions in 2019. Author Sanjay Dixit delves deep into the past and traces the events, actions and their repercussions that finally led to the Union of India introducing these two measures. He looks at these events from all perspectives-historical, social and political. For Article 370, he traces the entire history of Kashmir from its pre-Islamic past and to the events that unfolded at the time of the Partition of India, leading to the initial inclusion of Article 370 in the Constitution of India. Dixit also studies in detail the legal and constitutional labyrinths, discussing the various Presidential Orders and case laws from the Constitutional Bench jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. For CAA, Dixit traces the constitutional history of India from the time of the partition of Bengal in 1905 to the unfortunate events of the Partition in 1947. His study relies heavily on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s analysis of the reasons for the Partition and the theology of a ‘separate nation’ that prevailed during the period. The author contends that this same theology has been staging a comeback now in the form of mazhabi pehchan which forms the crux of the anti-CAA protests. The informed position of the author, his lucidity of language and directness of approach lend clarity to his arguments and make this an accessible and important read.
India’s independence from the British on August 15, 1947, was preceded by its partition on religious lines having a murky history of dangerous antics and shenanigans of the likes of Muslim League, Jinnah and others; supported, either by accident or design, by Congress and its leadership. That Nehru failed miserably to control the situation, in which there was bloodshed, communal hatred, brutalization of women and loss of India’s territory, is a well-known story. The question is what would have been the status of India’s political borders had, say, Nehru been in charge of ‘unifying’ India – that is bringing together more than 500 princely states within the Indian union? We could well have been left to wishful thinking – “Had Sardar been the in-charge of the department handling unification of princely states within the Indian union”. This book, a well-researched document, takes the reader step-by-step on how Sardar went after the task; and how diligently he completed them. Of course, the story of Hyderabad and Junagarh is slightly more well-known. But do you know how Chhattisgarh and Orissa (now Odisha), or even Lunavada (in Gujarat), Deccan States and so many others were included in the Indian union? Do we today ever realise that these states were ‘not part of independent India’? That is why we say it is not only a book for history enthusiasts but all students, who ought to know the real political map of our country when it became independent.
At a young age, Finnish film director, adventurer, and author Taavi ‘Rishi’ Kassila started to look for a spiritual master. He was seeking someone who could introduce him to the deepest mysteries of life. On the journey to find his teacher, he learned the art of meditation from an Indian yogi and met the world-famous spiritual teacher J. Krishnamurti. He hosted a television interview with the guru of the Beatles, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He interviewed the Nobel Peace Prize winner His Holiness the Dalai Lama at his administrative palace in the Himalayas, as well as the Meditation Master Jeshe Lama. Kassila sought out many famous spiritual masters, including Sai Baba, and Mother Meera of Germany. He was also able to interview Annamalayi Swami, an enlightened disciple of the famous Ramana Maharshi. He met and interviewed remarkable scientists, such as brain researcher Matti Bergström, a man who was able to pinpoint which part of the brain experiences God, and the professor of atomic physics K. V. Laurikainen, who explained how he found proof of God’s existence by studying the movements of light particles. Kassila met over thirty masters of their fields and finally, he found what he was looking for – his own master – the South Indian saint, Amma, Mata Amritanandamayi. He traveled to South India to make a film about her. Now, in this rare book, Amma’s and her father’s interviews are published for the first time. This amazing and unique story takes the reader on an exciting spiritual journey to the inner landscape of the greatest thinkers and spiritual teachers of our time.
