Conflict: Quotations on Rebellion and Resolution
Author: Jaideep Saikia | 2026 | ISBN: 978-81-688067-5-7
Jaideep Saikia advances a sustained inquiry into the origins, grammar and termination of organised dissent. Twenty-five aphorisms, each accompanied by a commentary, interrogate the conditions under which individuals and polities rebel, and the mechanisms by which rebellion yields to settlement. The form is deliberate: compression compels precision, and each aphorism functions as a proposition to be tested rather than a maxim to be admired. Three essays, all original to Jaideep Saikia, are placed in the Appendices: (1) “Philosophy of Security: Prolegomena to a New Discipline”, (2) “The Sanctified Aberration: Radicalisation and Brain Science” and (3) “The Unaudited Ledger: Defective Partition of Space”.
Bridging Cultures: Northeast India’s Role in Furthering India’s Act East Policy
Author: Lt Gen Shokin Chauhan | 2026 | ISBN: 978-81-997728-0-9
The latest book by Lt Gen Shokin Chauhan presents India’s Northeast not merely as a frontier, but as the country’s natural bridge to Southeast Asia. Drawing on years of engagement with the region, particularly through service with the Assam Rifles, the book explores the Northeast’s deep historical, cultural, economic and strategic connections with Myanmar and the wider Indo-Pacific. It argues for transforming geography into connectivity, commerce and enduring partnerships while strengthening national integration, development and security. The book was released at the United Service Institution of India, New Delhi, on 30 September 2026 by General Anil Chauhan, former Chief of Defence Staff, marking an important milestone in a wider conversation on India’s Act East Policy.
