Geopolitics of the 21st Century
₹1,900.00Author: M D Nalapat
The war in Ukraine has once again brought to the forefront the interconnectedness of countries to one another. Supply chains and markets have become global, and the need to ensure price and quality competitiveness on the part of manufacturers, service providers, and producers has meant increasing reliance among countries for sourcing items essential to their own economies. The consequence of such interdependence has resulted in the intersection of geopolitics with several aspects of our lives. Our societies are more closely connected than ever before. While there have been instances of peaceful coexistence, tensions within and between countries have multiplied and, at times, have erupted into open conflict. Understanding the ebb and flow of events within countries has become essential in comprehending global factors which affect our lives. This book provides an insight into significant dynamics of our time, and what they might lead us to.

Life and Art of K K Hebbar
₹2,000.00Author: Haridas Bhat Editors: Rekha Rao, Rajani Prasanna Translators: Sandhya Vasudev, Rukma Vasudev
K K Hebbar was a trailblazer in Indian art. His contributions to modern Indian art as an artist, teacher, and art administrator are unparalleled. What is ‘Indian’ in modern Indian art has been a subject of discussion since the beginning of the modernist movement. Hebbar’s oeuvre is an answer to that question. It is modern and yet, intensely Indian, both in terms of subjects and treatment. Hebbar remained rooted in his native soil. His line drawings are a treasure of Indian art. No one has surpassed them in their delicacy and lyricism.
This biography is Mr Bhat’s affectionate account of his friend Hebbar’s life and art. The strength of Hebbar’s character comes through in his narration. Integrity and self-discipline were Hebbar’s defining qualities. Arguably, the man was greater than his work. And that makes his story intriguing. This biography of a major artist is a welcome addition to the meagre literature on Indian artists.
