Five years ago, India was an emerging world power being courted by the world's most powerful political and business leaders, an upbeat story of unparalleled economic growth. Since then, it has failed to account for the human capital at the heart of its effort to modernize: more than one billion people clamoring for what has become known as the “Indian Dream”-an education, a career, and an opportunity to pull one's family out of poverty and into prosperity. Today, India is suffering an immense crisis of confidence-crippling political corruption, politicians mired in the status quo, economic inequality, brutal violence against women, and rampant social injustice. Simon Denyer, former Indian bureau chief for the Washington Post, perceptively captures India at this crucial tilting point in its history-from the Nehru-Gandhi family dynasty that has ruled the country for most of its post-independence years, to flawed heroes such as news anchor Arnab Goswami and anticorruption crusader Arvind Kejwiral, to, most compelling, ordinary people fighting daily against corruption and the system. They, Denyer convincingly shows, are harnessing the force of the world's largest democracy to positive effect, demanding transparency and accountability as never before. The battle between the deep-rooted system of graft and patronage and the forces demanding change will have huge global significance, and Denyer's insight makes Rogue Elephant a vital contribution to the international conversation about India's present and future.

The siachen glacier is strategically placed between india and pakistan, in a disputed and undemarcated region of kashmir. At 20,000 feet above sea level, it is an inhospitable spread of ice and snow, and has proven itself to be a fatal place for many a soldier. Beyond nj 9842: the siachen saga is a book that tells of an undeclared war that has been raging on for the past three decades between the two countries in this region. It had started in 1984, when operation meghdoot was put into effect by the indian army on the barren expanse of the siachen glacier, to avoid pakistan from gaining control of that place. Since then, this glacier has been the world's highest and coldest battlefield. This operation resulted in india gaining control over the siachen glacier and all of its tributaries. The two nations, however, maintain a permanent military presence in the region, even though a cease-fire went into effect in 2003. This conflict has resulted in the death of more than 2000 people, mostly due to weather extremes. The author, nitin a. Gokhale, has portrayed this longstanding dispute through the eyes of the veterans who had served there, with the help of their personal stories and anecdotes. It is a slice of history that speaks volumes of the courage and patriotism of the indian army, fighting for their country from a place as inhospitable as siachen. A story of blood, guts and glory, beyond nj 9842: the siachen saga was published by bloomsbury india publishing in 2014, and is available in hardcover.
