प्रस्तुत पुस्तकामध्ये मुलांना भीती हा विषय देऊन त्यांच्या मनातील भावना शोधण्याचा हळदीकर यांनी प्रयत्न केला आहे. ज्या मुलांसाठी ते काम करीत आहेत ती मुलं एकाकी, दुखः, वेदनांच्या गर्तेत राहणारी, प्रमापासून वंचित आहेत. त्यांची मानसिकता या कविता वाचून वाचकांच्या मनात निश्चित कोलाहल निर्माण करतील यात शंका नाही. मनात साठविलेली वेदना कवितेच्या रुपाने ती मांडतात. ह्या कविता वाचताना आपणही अंतर्मुख होऊन जातो. कवितांमधून जाणवतं की ही मुलं सापाला घाबरतात, अंधाराला घाबरतात, मोठ्या माणसांना घाबरतात. ही त्यांच्या निष्पाप मनाची साक्ष आहे. पण मुलं शाळेतल्या शिक्षकांनाही घाबरतात, याचा कुठंतरी विचार झाला पाहिजे. भीतीचा वेध घेणा-या आधुनिक बालकविंच्या या कविता हा एक अनोखा मानसशास्त्रीय प्रयोग ठरावा, नव्या शोधांना या कविता जन्म देतील अशी उमेद बाळगण्यास हरकत नाही. वाचक कवितांचे व संजय हळदीकरांचे यांच्या अंगीकृती कार्याचे उत्स्फूर्त स्वागत करतील यात शंका नाही.

जगातील सर्वांत बलवान पुरुष असो की सर्वांत बुद्धिमान पुरुष असो..तो एका स्त्रीच्या पोटीच जन्म घेतो. इतिहास असंही सांगतो की, स्त्रीनंच शोधली शेती, स्त्रीनंच साधली प्रगती. स्त्रीनंच घडवली संस्कृती आणि स्त्रीनंच घडवला पुरुष !
मग हा पुरुषच तिचा ‘शत्रु’ कसा झाला? स्त्रीला कनिष्ठ, दुय्यम लेखून स्वातंत्र तिचं हिरावून घेऊन, तिच्यावर अत्याचार का करु लागला? स्त्री आणि पुरुष यांच्यात नैसर्गिक भेद होतेच. त्या भेदांनीच का हा कावा साधला?
भेद तर आहेतच..पण भेद आहेत म्हणून तर आकर्षण आहे, स्त्री पुरुष मीलनातूनच हे जीवन उमलत असतं. म्हणूनच परस्परांवाचून दोघांचंही अस्तित्व- अधुरंच नव्हे, अशक्य आहे! शिवाय ‘नर आणि मादी ’ यांखेरीजही स्त्री-पुरुष नात्याचे किती लोभस फुलोरे आहेत. स्त्रीयांना ‘मुक्ती’ हवी असली, तरी पुरुषविरहित जगात का रहायचं आहे? स्त्रीविरहित जगाची कल्पना पुरुषांनाही अशक्य आहे. मग तरीही ‘स्त्री विरुद्ध पुरुष’ हा संघर्ष कशासाठी? खरंच का हा संघर्ष अटळ आहे?

PRAFULL GORADIA
Hindutva, an important but much misun-derstood idea, has been written and spo ken about often in bits and pieces. At least
since Veer Savarkar attempted its integral treatment
way back in 1923. While The Saffron Book cannot
claim to be a comprehensive thesis, it certainly is
an attempt to think through Hindutva, a concept
which has not only a past and a present but also a
future. With the demise of communism, the
decline of socialism and the disappearance of
Nehruvian secularism very much in sight, an ideo-
logical vacuum has emerged in India. The author
believes that now on Hindutva will hold the ideo-
logical centre stage in Indian politics.
Hindutva is the only dialectical ideology that
has taken root in Asia. Dialectical in the sense of
not merely being logical but also the basis of poli-
cies. All other ideologies are of European pedigree.
Ideally, the Asian genius is best motivated by an
Asian ideology. As you read on, you will find that
the core of Hindutva is self actualisation.
Consequently, it is averse to the subjugation of
others. If all the countries in the world could be
influenced by a similar volition, surely the earth
would be a more peaceful place. All in all,
Hindutva is a many splendoured ideology. The
book offers glimpses of this splendour.

BRANDING INDIA
How do you bring a magnificently diverse
country - with twenty-eight states, seyen
union territories, eighteen ofliciallanguages
and 1.12 billion people - under one brand?
In what was a complex and massive exercise,
this is exactly what the author, Amitahh
Kant, formerjoint secretary in the ministry
of tourism, and his colleagues cutting across
various government departments achieved
as they put India on the world tourism map
with their 'Incredible India' campaign.
Launched in 2002 when travel to India
was down in the dumps - in the wake of
the destruction of me \ Vorld Trade Center;
the war on A(~hanistan and the attack on
Indian Parliament - the 'Incredible India'
campaign triggered a take-off of Indian
tourism. Support sectors like aviation, hotels
and infrastructure grew in tandem, and
new area'> such as rural, medical value and
ecological tourism developed, so that in
2008 India earned USS I I .5 billion in
foreign exchange as against USS 3 billion
in 2002.
How did a sleeping giant like India get
its act together? How did govcrumcnt
departments not normally knO\\11 lor their
speed, dynamism or flexibility build and
nurture a brand? How did infrastructure
keep pace with the demand so that what
was promised to tourists could be delivered?
This fascinating success story, written hy
an insider; becomes even more relevant
today as the Indian tourism industry again
faces a slowdown because of the economic
downturn and the attacks on Mumbai in
[\m"cmher 2008. Scholarly as well as
personal, the book is essential reading for
the travel and tourism industry as well as
the layperson, and an inspiring business
case study that shows how even the
bureaucracy can be as dynamic as anyonc
in the private sector;

JINNAH
1947, some call it vivisection as Gandhi had, has without doubt been the most wounding trauma of the twentieth century. It has seared the psyche of four plus generations of this subcontinent. Why did this partition take place at all? Who was/is responsible -- Jinnah? The Congress party? Or the British? Jaswant Singh attempts to find an answer, his answer, for there can perhaps not be a definitive answer, yet the author searches. Jinnah's political journey began as 'an ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity' (Gopal Krishna Gokhale), yet ended with his becoming the 'sole spokesman' of Muslims in India; the creator of Pakistan, the Quaid-e-Azam: How and why did this transformation take place?
No Indian or Pakistani politician/Member of Parliament has ventured an analytical, political biography of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah, about whom views necessarily get divided as being either hagiographical or additional demonology. The book attempts an objective evaluation. Jaswant Singh's experience as a minister responsible for the conduct of India's foreign policy, managing the country's defence (concurrently), had been uniformly challenging (Lahore Peace Process; betrayed at Kargil; Kandahar; The Agra Peace Summit; the attack on Jammu and Kashmir Assembly and the Indian Parliament; coercive diplomacy of 2002; the peace overtures reinitiated in April 2003).
He asks where and when did this questionable thesis of 'Muslims as a separate nation' first originate and lead the Indian sub-continent to? And where did it drag Pakistan to? Why then a Bangladesh? Also what now of Pakistan? Where is it headed? This book is special; it stands apart, for it is authored by a practitioner of policy, an innovator of policies in search of definitive answers. Those burning 'whys' of the last sixty-two years, which bedevil us still. Jaswant Singh believes that for the return of lasting peace in South Asia there is no alternative but to first understand what made it 'abandon' us in the first place. Until we do that, a minimum, a must, we will never be able to persuade peace to return.

INTELLIGENCE
Past, Present and Future
Intelligence, past, present & future takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the labyrinths of the shadowy world of Intelligence, both Military and Economic/Industrial. The author clarifies the structure of the intelligence community and the analytical organisations of the principal nations of the world. Raman's deep personal involvement and insight into the strategic and organisational ramifications of intelligence gathering and interpretation by India's neighbours like China and Pakistan make particularly engrossing reading. The author traces the development of the world intelligence community and also focuses the reader's attention upon the perils of modem cyber-technology 'the Big Brother is watching syndrome' - of which, many of us are only barely aware. As an interesting sidelight, a number of little known aspects of Pakistan's opium economy and the ISl's stranglehold in both Pakistan and Afghanistan are revealed.
This book is invaluable not merely for those engaged in intelligence gathering and dissemination but also for every student of current affairs and indeed everyone who wishes to remain abreast of the current international political and military scenario.

ILLEGAL MIGRATION AND THE NORTH EAST
Sibopada Day
The book unfolds different contours of the most controversial unauthorised migrations from Bangladesh to the northeastern states of India. The book is divided in two parts. In the first part, one will find details of the anti-alien movement in Assam. The author tries to analyse why all the Prime Ministers of Bangladesh denied infiltration into Indian territory. why Bangladesh need a lebensraum in the north-east of India, why all successive ministries in Assam virtually failed to implement the Assam Accord and mini mise the flow of illegal migrations, and finally what should be the reasonable approach to contain the foreign nationals issue in the north-eastern states.
In the second part, the author highlights the peculiar impacts of the illegal migrations in Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh. The nature and intensity\ of the issue differ from one another. State-wise study has been made by the author to acquaint the readers with their.eculiarities of the respective states. Italso suggests remedial measures to address and contain the tangled situation in the north-east. The book may help Dhaka and New Delhi to review and synchronise their understanding of the issues to ease-off the tense situation in the north-eastern parts of India in the light of the findings and analyses of the book.

Supreme Court on Hindutva - Prof. Bal Apte
This volume presents a collection of some important rulings of the Supreme Court of India on the concepts, thoughts and instituttions linked to ancient Indiaand Indian civilisation. These rulings bring out the endeavours of constitutionalism in India to acknowledge, understand and recognise the legitimate, yet hidden and unexpressed, urges of "traditional" India. And that is precisely the reason why these rulings of the highest judiciary have been compiled, critiqued and presented as a compendium for demonstrating the strenuous endeavours of Constitutioanl India to find its roots in traditional India.
Indian Cultural Nationalism - Purnima Singh
"The seminal work of Smt. Purnima Singh, The Stream of Cultural Nationalism during hte Freedom Struggle, forcefully brings out how the idea of cultural nationalism was the principle drive of the freedom movement against the aliens. This stream, which formed the critical element of the freedom movement, became anaemic after India became free. As a result the chief drives of the freedom movement came to be seen as liabilities of free India. A song like the Vande Mataram, which enthused millions to sacrifice for the freedom of India, turned into a national problem if not a national burden. Similarly the idea of Ram Rajya, which Mahatma Gandhi had put forward as the goal for free India, became a sectarian and communal idea. So was the concept of Sanatan Dharma, which Maharshi Aurobindo defined as the nationalism of India. Identical was the fate of Hindu Natioanlsim, which Swami vivekananda had expounded. Thus all the elevating thoughts and concepts which prompted the nation into action were virtually discarded by Free India's rulers and scholars. Consequently, the very identity of this ancient natio became confused; it remains confused at the elite intellectual levels even today. Purnima singh has undertaken a pain staking effort to related the present confused national consciousness to the cultural stream of freedom movement. This work shall prove a signal contribution to the ongoing debate on cultural natioanlism in India. --

Intelligence Imperatives for India -- D.C. Nath
"The Business of Intelligence conjures up images of mysterious, perilous activity, shrouded in secrecy, deception and high politics. But only a few can lay claim to knowing its inner workings or dangers. Fewer yet are aware of the back-breaking monotony of sifting through masses of reports to unearth that one vital clue that makes the tapestry of an analysis invaluable to policy makers, diplomats, political leaders, scientists, the media and hundreds of other actors who may not even be remotely aware fof being recipients of intelligence inputs. The author has brought out in a lucid style the various facets of the fast changing security environment and hte role of intelligence intaking suitable measures to protect national interest. I have no doubt that this book would be useful for experts as well as students of national security." --

Insight into Minoritism -- Muzaffar Hussain
"...After all, to make a human is the sign of progress. Human rights are superior to all other rights. This is one of the main issues of this book. The author has pointed out the dangers of minorities in details and has also suggested as to how to deal with them. He rings the alar bell at last and says, 'Minoritism is deception for human civilisation.' ...Sometimes, answers to these questions become questions themselves. It cannot be expected that everyone will agree with all the issues of the author. But it is expected definitely that the process of thinking begins in this direction after reading this book. For this, public awareness is required. we should not forget that keeping mum or maintaining silence is a sin when there is need to raise one's voice because 'Maunam Sammati Sakshanam', i.e. keeping mumi is equivalent to giving sanction to a thing... This book presents elaborately all these aspects of the process of contemplation for which the author of this book, Muzaffar Hussain, deserves praise a lot.. This book will be helpful in searching all these answers... I give my thanks to Muzaffar Hussain ji for this book and I hope the considerate readers and patriot thinkers will welcome this book very much. My good wishes to this important and precious book." --

Islam and Religious riots - A case study
Riots and Wrongs -- R.N.P. Singh
"Much of the 'secular' discourse in India has been based on a 'politically corret' refusal to confront the nature of religious communities and institutions, and their past and present activities; and on the fiction that 'all religions are equal' and that their inherent message is the same. While such a perspective may be useful in dousing transient fires between communities, it cannot even begin to address the sources of such historical conflagrations. The truth is, unless communities acknowledge reality--warts and all--and recognize the transgressions of their own history within a constructive context, no real solution to the issues of communal polarisation and violence in India can be brought about.
R.N.P. Singh's
Riots and Wrongs is an effort in this direction and ffers a particular perspective on the history and dynamics of communal antagonisms and carnage in the South Asian region....Singh's objective through this book has been to inject a measure of relaism in a discourse that has long been delusionary." --
