Srinagar in the winter of 1989 was an eerie ghost town witnessing the beginnings of a war dance. The dam burst the night JKLF boys were freed in exchange for the release of Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of then Union home minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. As Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah had predicted, the government's caving in emboldened many Kashmiris into thinking that azaadi was possible. 'The price we will have to pay' were Farooq's prophetic words.

This personal diary records the many small moments that constitute a life of harmony - with the self, the natural world, and friends, family and passersby. In these hours, we watch a wild plum blossom and the moon come up between two deodar trees; we hear a redstart whistle and the rain drum on a tin roof; we recognize the aftermath of loss and the consolation of old companions. A Book of Simple Living is a gift of beauty and wisdom from India's most loved and most understated writer.

This intellectual biography of Tagore, perhaps the first of its kind, portrays him as a man who was deeply skeptical, self-critical, tormented by conflicts in his inner life, aware of the historical significance of his times and continually interacting with adversaries and friends across the world; someone who built on the heritage of the 19th-century renaissance in India and became one of the makers of the modern Indian mind.

Soon to be a major motion picture by Vishal Bhardwaj, this double bill of pacey thrillers highlighting the exploits of India's intelligence agency will have your pulse racing. In The Zero-Cost Mission, India's relations with Bangladesh are undermined by the activities of the Jamaat-e-Islami, whose camps and facilities are being used to help Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence. The Wily Agent details the pitfalls of gathering intelligence in a foreign country, a delicate and complex business. A good source, however, can make the risks worthwhile.

Publisher's Summary
The executive, the legislature and the judiciary are the three branches of government, both state and central, in India. Of these, it is the judiciary's task to uphold constitutional values and ensure justice for all. The interpretation and application of constitutional values by the judicial system has had far-reaching impact, often even altering provisions of the Constitution itself. Although our legal system was originally based on the broad principles of the English common law, over the years it has been adapted to Indian traditions and been changed, for the better, by certain landmark verdicts.
In Landmark Judgments That Changed India, former Supreme Court judge and eminent jurist Asok Kumar Ganguly analyses certain cases that led to the formation of new laws and changes to the legal system. Discussed in this book are judgments in cases such as Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala that curtailed the power of Parliament to amend the Constitution; Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India and Others that defined personal liberty; and Golaknath v. State of Punjab, where it was ruled that amendments which infringe upon fundamental rights cannot be passed.
Of special significance for law students and practitioners, this book is also an ideal guide for anyone interested in the changes made to Indian laws down the years and the evolution of the judicial system to what it is today.

Meant for Lawyers, Not a Great Audiobook
The biggest problem with the book is that it just refers to sections of Constitution and laws. It focuses more on the judges and references than it focuses on the judgements and what it means for the common man. Unless you are a lawyer you would struggle to keep pace and would need Google to research the case it is being talked about

one time read
this book can be considered an updated version of the book "10 judgments that changed India". legal provisions and law reference is given, first year law students should read it once. It covers mostly the constitutional cases, if you are constitutional law student this book can be a summary course for your fundamental rights LLB. The narrator was good but if you find 'proper american accent' more comfortable than you may be disappointed. I bought this audiobook instead of getting it in exchange of credit.

Good Topic - complicated articulation
The cases identified in the book are amazing and they're the mile stone, the Author has the indepth knowledge of the subject.
where it falls apart is Author fails to tell the story , it appears author is reading legal document. This book is designed only for attorneys or lawyers :- ) common people will have to excuse themselves.

Abstract contents for non-law professionals
I was expecting it to be a simplified explanations of politics and court proceedings/judgements, but, it turned out to be on the lines of detailed judgements. The description is too subjective.
Narrator's voice is clear though he comes out a bit too strong.
