Agrarian reforms in Iran and India: a tryst with modernity/Subodh Dhawan. "Browsing through the ages, one is convinced that the dialogue between India and Iran has been mutually beneficial. The Achaemenids developed an ingenious irrigation system in their satrapies situated in the North-Western India, for the benefit of the agriculture and also provided a fillip to the westerly commerce of this region by opening the trade routes. Artisans, scribes and artists from Persia sought refuge in India, gained patronage and enriched the Mauryan age. Gaining lessons from the political experiences and mistakes of the Achaemenids, the Mauryans formed a sturdy centralised administration in India. They organised a court culture heavily influenced by Persian traditions and etiquette. From the first christening of India as "Hindv" to the present day, Indo-Iranian contacts have been largely harmonious, complimentary and beneficial for the human heritage. May it be the development of language, grammar, script and the exposition in shape of poetry (shayari, ghazal, nazm, rubayi) and music (qawwali) or the expression in fine arts, calligraphy (nashtaliq, kufic), painting (Mughal miniatures), sculpture (Pillar capitals of Ashokan monoliths) and architecture (Kumrahar Palace to the Taj Mahal); or in the field of philosophy (Zoroastrian and Manichean), mysticism (Tassawuf) and thought (Sufism); or the disciplines of knowledge for human welfare like medicine, sciences, mathematics etc., the Indo-Iranian interaction remains a remarkable contribution to mankind. Indo-Iranian interaction encompasses many different facets e.g., political, social and economic interaction; art, architecture; religion, philosophy including Zoroastrianism and Sufism; literature, epic and poetry; language and calligraphy; life-styles and court culture etc. during all the periods of history, from ancient to the contemporary."

Hardcover. Condition: New. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. China's Ambivalent Vision of India: Persistent Attitude and Shifting Perceptions. 3. Evolving Contours of Regional Geopolitics: An Assessment of Chinese Perspectives. 4. Making Sense of Modi's India: Chinese Perceptions about India during the Xi Era. 5. India-China Rivalry: Asymmetric No Longer. 6. Future Contours of India-China Rivalry and India's Options. Index. In recent years, there has been growing interest in deciphering the nature and contours of bilateral dynamics between India and China, since the contours bilateral dynamics between the two rising powers have potential implications for the evolving geopolitical order in the region and even beyond. This book is not about understanding the nature of rivalry dynamics between India and China but prominently focuses on China's mental and emotional image of India, which has remained an underexplored dimension in contemporary scholarship. The aim of the book is two-fold. First, this book is an effort to analyse China's contemporary perceptual image about India primarily through the analysis of Chinese publications on the subject. Second, this book questions the prevalent notion of characterising India-China rivalry as 'one-sided' or 'asymmetric.' Unarguably, power asymmetry, with substantial Chinese advantage, has been a persistent characteristic of India-China relations and is likely to remain or even grow further. India, being weaker in this dyad, naturally has a greater threat perception vis-à-vis China. However, this apparent power asymmetry does not provide China with an overwhelming advantage over India. The book argues that India has been and continues to be a 'strategic rival' in Chinese perception even though it is not categorised by China as its 'principal rival.' In the contemporary period, as India expands its defence capabilities, extends its regional outreach and deepens its engagement with major powers, Beijing has begun to factor New Delhi into its strategic calculus even more seriously.…
