Despite the coalition leaders' ideological differences and regional rivalries, their overwhelming intent is to prevent Narendra Modi from becoming the first Indian since Jawaharlal Nehru to win three successive five-year prime ministerial terms. The 2024 Lok Sabha election could prove historic. If Narendra Modi wins a third successive five-year prime ministerial term, he will be the first Indian leader to do so since Jawaharlal Nehru. In this sweeping account of events leading up to the 2024 General Election, Minhaz Merchant analyses how Modi has shaped Indian politics, economics and culture during his decade as prime minister.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51211176345873,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51211178115345,"sku":"NIN9789355433381","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148246249745,"sku":"NLS9789355433381","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53376923042065,"sku":"GOR014887548","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53377530429713,"sku":"GOR014888238","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9355433387.jpg?v=1751160998"},{"product_id":"new-clash-of-civilizations-book-minhaz-merchant-9788129129901","title":"New Clash of Civilizations","description":"A compelling amalgam of new writing and published essays by Minhaz Merchant, The New Clash of Civilizations offers deep and stimulating insights into how the contest between four major civilizational forces-the United States, China, India and Islam-will shape our century. The historic shift in the economic and geopolitical balance of power from the West to the East, Merchant writes, will determine the ideas and principles that govern this unfolding century. Divided into six distinct sections-History, Nation, World, Leaders, Science \u0026amp; Society, and Vintage-the book provides an original perspective on a dynamic nation coming to terms with itself and the world. In politics and science, history and economics, India's place in an increasingly competitive global order-and its interaction with the other three major civilizational strands-forms a cornerstone of the book's narrative. Broad in sweep and range, The New Clash of Civilizations is a lucid and brilliant account of the ebb and flow of power in the twenty-first century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52332291850513,"sku":"NLS9788129129901","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9788129129901.jpg?v=1758151154"},{"product_id":"era-of-india-book-minhaz-merchant-9780143478478","title":"Era of India","description":"In his narrative-defining book, Era of India, Minhaz Merchant examines interlinked civilizational arcs across centuries and millennia. Through much of recorded history, living standards were broadly similar in the Old World: Europe, Asia and Africa. The discovery of the New World in the Americas and Australasia brought about great change: catastrophic for some, a boon for others. Differences in per capita income between Europeans and Asians were minimal in 1600. By 1900, the gap had risen multiple times. Europe emerged from plague and penury to great wealth. Was this extraordinary turn of events due to scientific discoveries, the Industrial Revolution and technological innovation? Or did centuries of exploitative, invasive colonialism, the 250-year-long transatlantic slave trade from Africa to the Americas, and colonist-settlements in the New World result in the largest transfer in history of wealth from East to West? Crucially, is it time for the West to pay reparations for three centuries of extra-territorial colonial conquest and enslavement Using empirical data and deeply researched documented evidence, Minhaz Merchant answers these questions in a riveting narrative that examines how the rise of India from an impoverished British colony in 1947 to the world's third largest economy by 2030 will reshape the world order in the next quarter century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53432982831377,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53432983224593,"sku":"NGR9780143478478","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780143478478.jpg?v=1776464542"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-minhaz-merchant.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
