Hardcover. Condition: As New. In the sixteenth century, Dutch traveller Jan Linschoten noted the absence of lions throughout the Indian subcontinent. Two hundred years later, echoing similar comments made by various hunters and observers of Indian wildlife, the British shikari and writer, Captain Thomas Williamson, emphatically declared: There are no lions in Hindustan. Much the same was said about the cheetah in the region. These observations piqued the interest of well-known naturalist Valmik Thapar. After an enormous amount of research and study he now believes that, contrary to existing scientific theory, neither of these animals were indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. Remarking on the lack of accounts of encounters with these animals as opposed to the tiger and the leopard which are extensively documented as well as inconclusive genetic studies, he argues that, over the centuries, the lion and cheetah were brought into the country from Persia and Africa by royalty, either as tributes or to populate their hunting parks and menageries. Enlisting the help of renowned historian, Romila Thaparwho analyzes historical accounts and representations of the lion in early Indiaand scholar, Yusuf Ansari who looks back at the lives of the Mughals and their famed huntsto further validate his theory, Valmik Thapar concludes at the end of this thought-provoking book that the Indian lion and the Indian cheetah were, in fact, exotic imports, and not indigenous subspecies. Tracing the history of the lion and the cheetah for over 5,000 years, and substantiated with pictorial evidence, Exotic Aliens is a pioneering work that could turn field biology on its head.

This book is a political story. It is not a conventional biography. It is a narrative about Sonia Gandhi the politician and before that Sonia Gandhi the political entity around whose silence the Congress Party and its politics revolved. While Sonia Gandhi is central to this work it is the events and episodes which have guided and created politics in India over the last decade and a half. Naturally it is hard to argue that without the cause of Rajiv Gandhi's assassination and subsequent decline in the Congress Party's fortunes there might not have been the effect of Sonia Gandhi taking to politics in the first place. Thus the book begins on a note of detachment the start of a new more right wing Congress Party that had little in common with the Congress of Nehru or his National Consensus they are the beginnings of a new Congress a recollection of a phase. Without this phase this break from the Congress of the past there would have been no vacuum or requirement for Sonia Gandhi to enter politics. This book also describes in great detail the state of the nation and the social and economic milieu of India within which its politics functioned throughout the 1990's. Factors that played a role are all mentioned and argued about in this part of the book including The New Economic Policy (NEP) the Babri crises and its social and political consequences the pulls and pressures of inner party politics issues such as corruption rise of regional politics and electoral fortunes are all covered here. There is considerable attention paid to the individuals and personalities who directed and participated in the events of the time both within the Congress and outside it. An agent whose arrival was required for all the preceding events covered in former chapters. It is a part that settles her into the role she personifies today as the grand matriarch of the Indian National Congress. It covers the initial jubilation flanked by the minor disenchantment of other entrenched leaders in the party her attempts to change and alter the party system and culture into her own vision her relationship with figures of the time across the political spectrum and the chastening electoral defeat of 1999. 327 pp.
