Dr. Amish: Thanks for your interest in my work. Congratulations on this great event for one if my very favorite countries. “In India and the world, too much attention has been given to the negatives in society, organizations and individuals. As done in this important seminar, for the good of all, more attention needs to be given to evidence-based positivity. For example, my positive construct of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) consisting of the psychological resources of Hope, Eficacy (conidence), Resilience, and Optimism (or the HERO within) has been clearly demonstrated through extensive empirical research to have a positive impact on performance and well-being.” “what psychologists have called a “state of learned helplessness.” This is where people learn that no matter what they do, nothing will work, so they eventually become immobilized, even when a positive opportunity arises. Such dysfunctional conditions go hand in hand with very negative PsyCap.” Fred Luthans, Distinguished Professor U. of Nebraska, USA, Former President International Academy of Management and recognized as having Top 1% of Citations of all researchers in the world.

  • 1 Ounding Father Who Galvanized, Inspired, Scandalized and Shaped
    ounding Father who galvanized, inspired, scandalized and shaped the newborn nation. In the first full-length biography of Alexander Hamilton in decades, Ron Chernow tells the riveting story of a man who overcame all odds to shape, inspire and scandalize the newborn America. According to historian Joseph Ellis, Alexander Hamilton is “a robust full-length portrait, in my view the best ever 1 written, of the most brilliant, charismatic and dangerous founder of them all.” Chernow’s biography is not just a portrait of Hamilton, but the story of America’s birth seen through its most central figure. At a critical time to look back to our roots, Alexander Hamilton will remind readers of the purpose of our institutions and our heritage as Americans. It was the British victory at the Battle of El Alamein in November 1942 that inspired one of Winston Churchill's most famous aphorisms: 'This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning'. And yet the significance of this episode remains unrecognised. In this thrilling historical account, Jonathan Dimbleby describes the political and 2 strategic realities that lay behind the battle, charting the nail-biting months that led to the victory at El Alamein in November 1942. It is a story of high drama, played out both in the war capitals of London, Washington, Berlin, Rome and Moscow, and at the front in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morrocco and Algeria and in the command posts and foxholes in the desert. In this remarkable book, which is partly a memoir and partly an exploration of the various deliberate and inadvertent acts that have contributed to the othering of the 180 million Muslims in India, Saeed Naqvi looks at how the divisions between Muslims and Hindus began in the modern era.

  • Indira Ghandi
    Global Highlights: Asia 1980s Indira Gandhi Indira Gandhi was the first female prime minister in India, elected in 1966. Born to an influential family in Allahabad, India, she held the office of prime minister from 1966 to 1977 and again from 1980 until her assassination in 1984. Born November 19, 1917, Indira Priyadarshini Nehru was the daughter and only child of Jawaharlal Nehru. From childhood the country’s politics played a great part in her life. Her grandfather was a leader in India’s fight for independence from Britain, and her father was India’s first prime minister from 1947 to 1964. She graduated from Visva-Bharati University in Bengal and studied at Oxford University in England. In 1942 she married a lawyer, Feroze Gandhi (no relation to the Indian freedom leader, Mohandas Gandhi). Shortly after their marriage, the couple spent thirteen months in prison for their part in India’s Independence Party, which sought freedom from Britain. Feroze Gandhi died in 1960. When India became independent and Gandhi’s father took office as prime minister, she served as his official hostess and as one of his advisors. She also accompanied him on trips. In 1955 Gandhi was elected to the executive body of the Indian National Congress party and in 1959 became its president. After her father’s death in 1964, Gandhi became India’s minister of information and broadcasting under prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. When Shastri died in 1966, Indira Gandhi succeeded him. The following year she was elected to the office of prime minister by the Congress party.

  • Of Feroze Gandhi and Others out There Rajesh Singh, Visiting Fellow, VIF 11 Oct 2017
    Policies & Perspectives VIVEKANANDA INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION The ‘What Ifs’ of Feroze Gandhi and Others Out There Rajesh Singh, Visiting Fellow, VIF 11 Oct 2017 As one reads ‘Feroze the Forgotten Gandhi’, a recently published biography of Jawaharlal Nehru’s son-in-law and Indira Gandhi’s husband, authored by Swedish journalist Bertil Falk, many ‘What Ifs’ come to mind. What if Feroze Gandhi’s marriage had not failed? What if Feroze Gandhi had not been indifferently treated by Nehru and his family? What if he had not been cold-shouldered by his wife? What if he had lived longer and had a chance to realise his full potential? What if he had been around when Lal Bahadur Shastri, with whom he shared a close relationship, became the country’s Prime Minister? The ‘What If’ endeavour is admittedly an academic excursion which is indulged in, at leisurely moments. There is often little purpose behind the exercise but to weigh tantalising possibilities as against irreversible situations. And yet these possibilities offer not just a different roadmap but at times, a preferable one to that adopted as a consequence of circumstances. For instance, the ‘forgotten’ Gandhi would not have been so forgotten if Nehru had groomed him. Feroze Gandhi might even have been Nehru’s right-hand man — the way Indira Gandhi became. Had he lived longer, he may have occupied a ministerial position in Shastri’s Cabinet. And who knows, he could have played a key role in the choice of the next Prime Minister after Shastri’s untimely and sudden death. And even if Indira Gandhi had become Prime Minister, under his sobering influence — he was a democrat and a staunch federalist — she would probably not have imposed the Emergency.

    1 The Wedding of Indira Nehru A Film Script —by Norvin Hein Photo: Gateway of Anand Bhavan, bronze plaque on pillar, right. In the city of Allahabad in Northern India, this is the famous house called Anand Bhavan— "Happiness House." It was the beloved personal home of Jawaharlal Nehru, free India's first prime minister, and of Indira Nehru his daughter and of Rajiv Gandhi his grandson- all, in their turn, prime ministers of India. Before India's liberation, Anand Bhavan was a major center for the planning of the struggle for India's freedom. It was India's Mount Vernon. The bronze memorial plaque at the right of the entrance describes in simple language the eminence of Anand Bhavan among Indian homes: "This house is more than a structure of brick and mortar. It is intimately connected with our national struggle for freedom and within its walls great decisions were taken and great events happened." One of the most distinguished gatherings that ever took place at this lovely mansion was the assembly that came here for the marriage of Indira Nehru to Feroze Gandhi, on March 26th, 1942. Jawaharlal Nehru was its host; many national leaders were its guests. It held the attention of all India. It was reported in the press of the world. It was a memorable wedding. The planners of the wedding had a difficulty regarding photography. 1942 was already, for India, the third year of World War II. Many western consumer products were by that time already non- existent in India's markets. But this young American teacher in a nearby college, who had a small movie camera, still possessed (brought from America) just one fifty- foot roll of precious color film.
