Culture, Space and the Nation-State: From Sentiment to Structure

by Dipankar Gupta

A good book with insights into why nations behave how they behave and why there would never be any military rule in India, whereas there is a perpetual military rule in Pakistan…with root metaphors and identity mappings, the author has done a reasonably good job..and a good introduction to the nation state concept..yet to complete the book..

India in the World Order: Searching for Major-Power Status (Contemporary South Asia)

by Baldev Raj Nayar

An excelletn book that not only put many misconceptions about the Indian response to many of the environmental situations in its formative years, but also takes a very measured approach to making statements. The authors had used brains rather than heart in dealing with certain unpleasant chapters in Indian International Policy History. Nice Read..already finished..

Excellent read…went on and on…got the book at around 1.00 PM, had two classes scheduled in the afternoon…read non stop..had a great class room session…finished the book in flat 6 hours, but that is a bit late for a 490 page book.. but a compelling read..half way through the book I could sense the villian and then viola I was correct..but then the reasons given by the villian were at best flimsy…werent convncing at all..such silly reasoning wouldnt go into doing such dare devildery..atleast I wouldnt do it…but an unputdownable really…
