TAPESTRY OF LIFE
The book, “TAPESTRY OF LIFE” is comprised of my short stories, which are mainly focused on nature’s intriguing role and how we, being a product of nature are engulfed by it. Nature always appears as an enigma to us and being a product of nature how we humans are constantly striving to promote our superior faculty comparing to the rest of other creatures on nature’s floor and proving our mettle with distinction is amazing! I take fancy to write short stories merely to translate my observation and reflections which nature honestly produce to my cerebral. I aspire that my readers would surely enjoy my short stories which they will find resonating with them.
The Long Reach of the Strong Arm: Evolving Forms of Transnational Authoritarianism
Against the backdrop of rising authoritarianism, this open access edited volume investigates how states—small and large, strong and weak—silence critics across borders. This focus on transnational authoritarianism is underexplored in scholarship, and even more so for states in South and Southeast Asia—which many of our cases draw from. While NGO reports, including those by Freedom House, have exposed physical attacks, they rarely address subtler methods used to target exiles. Drawing on analyses and interviews with those directly familiar with these dynamics, the collection examines tactics such as digital surveillance, emotional blackmail, enforced family isolation, psychological harassment, imprisonment of relatives on fabricated charges, and harassment of family businesses through surprise audits. These non-physical measures can be as effective as physical attacks, yet often evade media attention. The goal of transnational authoritarianism is clear: silence exiled critics, restrict alternative information, and shape global opinion. This collection reveals the long reach of strongmen regimes and their determination to control narratives at home and abroad.

Routledge Handbook of Indian Politics
India’s growing economic and socio-political importance on the global stage has triggered an increased interest in the country.
