Ayodhya Kand - in English rhyme

Munindra Misra

Summary

From Ayodhya Kand, the tale does start,
 
Of King Dasharatha’s breaking heart.
 
For Rama's coronation, the kingdom did cheer,
 
But Kaikeyi's demand brought a change severe.
 
To the forest, Rama was sent,
 
With Sita and Lakshman, in exile they went.
 
The city of Ayodhya, in sorrow drowned,
 
As Rama left for the forest ground.
 
Bharat returned and was deeply pained,
 
Seeing the throne, he thought profaned.
 
He sought out Rama, begged him to reign,
 
But Rama's duty bound him to the plain.
 
In sandals Bharat took Rama's place,
 
Ruling Ayodhya with a virtuous grace.
 
Thus Ayodhya Kand shows devotion so deep,
 
In every heart, Rama’s ideals we keep.

US Naval Power in the 21st...

Brent Droste Sadler, J. William...

This nation's Cold War and Global War on Terror defense structures need an update. U.S. Naval Power in the 21st Century provides such a framework for the changed world we live in, offering a roadmap that shows how the U.S. can field a war-winning fleet that can also compete aggressively in peacetime against dangerous competitors. Brent Sadler presents a compelling new strategy and organizing approach that he calls naval statecraft, which acknowledges the centrality and importance of the maritime domain. While similar to Cold War containment strategies against the Soviets, naval statecraft is much more. It must be to challenge China's involvement in global supply chains, which gives that country significant financial heft and influence around the world. Unlike what existed during of the Cold War, however, Sadler provides a unique vision for competing with China and Russia. Rather than simply calling for better coordinated U.S. diplomacy, military operations, and economic statecraft, Sadler argues for integrating the levers of national power coherently and sustainably. It is an approach imminently appropriate to our times but comes with a realization that the nation is not ready for the competition it faces from China and Russia. The book is a valuable contribution to the national debate over how best to respond to China's rise and Russia's antagonisms.

Radical Politics - On the Causes...

Peter D. Thomas

The last twenty years have witnessed a proliferation of radical social and political movements around the world. From the International Women's Strike and Occupy, to #BlackLivesMatter and direct action against the climate emergency, a series of common questions have re-emerged as immediate and practical challenges. How should radical political movements relate to the state? What makes emancipatory politics fundamentally different from both technocratic and populist models of "politics as usual"? Which forms of organization are most likely to deepen and extend the dynamics that led to the emergence of these movements in the first place? 
 
 
 
To investigate the goal, nature, method, and organizational forms of radical political engagement against the neoliberal consensus, Peter D. Thomas draws on the work of Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Communist Party leader and political theorist best known for his ideas about hegemony. Offering a new reading of Gramsci, Thomas contends that hegemony is a process of differentiation in which political culture is always changing, and always with the goal of moving toward expanded freedom. Over the course of the book, Thomas looks at the way in which various theorists have approached the dilemma of how to engage productively in radical politics and explains why hegemony is a method of doing politics rather than an end goal.
