Siftan Khalsa Raj Diyan - (...

Harbhajan Singh Cheema

Book : Siftan Khalsa Raj Diyan 
Author : Harbhajan Singh Cheema 
Historians have provided information in their writings at various times about those diplomats and travelers who came to Punjab during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and shortly thereafter, but this information has often been very brief. Therefore, through this series of articles, the aim is to share the unbiased firsthand accounts of these diplomats and travelers regarding the Sikh states on the other side of the Sutlej, Punjab, Multan, Sindh, the Sindh river, areas of the Sindh region, Peshawar, Jammu and Kashmir, Kabul, and Central Asia, along with details about the Sikh Empire and Maharaja Ranjit Singh. This effort is made so that readers can feel pride in knowing about the great legacy and fame of their Sikh Empire and also uncover some hidden truths that have remained absent from Sikh history books until now. 
You can order it from Sikh Siyasat and get it delivered anywhere in the world.

Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

Caroline Oakes

These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
 
 
 
But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
 
 
 
In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.

Neither Confirm Nor Deny -...

John Ware

In January 1980, a secret review quietly rewired Britain’s war in Northern Ireland. Commissioned by the Chief Constable of the RUC and led by future MI5 Director General Sir Patrick Walker, it placed intelligence above the law - and changed everything. 
 
What followed was a vast, covert agent-running machine that penetrated the Provisional IRA at unprecedented depth. Thousands of informers were recruited and handled outside any legal framework, authorised to lie, collude, and kill. Publicly, ministers spoke of the rule of law. Privately, the State crossed its own red lines. 
 
Supporters claim Walker’s revolution saved lives and forced the IRA towards politics, helping pave the way to the Good Friday Agreement. Critics argue it licensed murder, subverted justice, and corrupted policing beyond repair. As one damning note to Tony Blair put it: ‘The State is assassinating people.’ 
 
Primed with new and important revelations, this meticulously researched book is the inside story of the decades-long struggle to expose that truth - an attritional battle between detectives, lawyers, and a powerful ‘Securocracy’ determined to protect its secrets. From shoot-to-kill and collusion inquiries to Operation Kenova and the Stakeknife scandal, it reveals how the State has so doggedly fought to control the narrative, silence scrutiny, and preserve its legacy, whatever the cost.

To Catch a Dictator - The...

Reed Brody

What does it take to make a dictator answer for his crimes? Hissène Habré, the former despot of Chad, terrorized, tortured, and killed on a horrific scale over eight years in power—while enjoying full American and Western support. After Habré’s overthrow, his victims and their supporters were determined to see him held responsible for his atrocities. Their quest for justice would be long, tense, and unnerving, but they would not back down. 
 
 
 
To Catch a Dictator is an insider's account of the hunt for Habré and his momentous trial. The human rights lawyer Reed Brody recounts how he and an international team of investigators, legal experts, and victims worked across three continents to unearth evidence and witnesses, petition courts and skeptical governments, and rally public opinion. They faced many obstacles and constant threats. Habré fought back bitterly, drawing on secret bank accounts and extensive political connections to preserve his life of luxurious exile. Yet Brody and his allies ultimately triumphed: Habré became the first former head of state to be convicted of crimes against humanity in the courts of another country. This fast-paced, suspenseful book shows that there is nothing inevitable about the impunity that too often protects the powerful and that even the worst tyrants can be brought to justice.
