Mastering Cybersecurity: A Practical Guide for Professionals (Volume 1)
by Akashdeep BhardwajIn today’s ever‑evolving digital landscape, cybersecurity professionals are in high demand. These books equip you with the knowledge and tools to become a master cyberdefender. The handbooks take you through the journey of ten essential aspects of practical learning and mastering cybersecurity aspects in the form of two volumes.Volume 1: The first volume starts with the fundamentals and hands‑on of performing log analysis on Windows and Linux systems. You will then build your own virtual environment to hone your penetration testing skills. But defense isn’t just about identifying weaknesses; it’s about building secure applications from the ground up. The book teaches you how to leverage Docker and other technologies for application deployments and AppSec management. Next, we delve into information gathering of targets as well as vulnerability scanning of vulnerable OS and Apps running on Damm Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA), Metasploitable2, Kioptrix, and others. You’ll also learn live hunting for vulnerable devices and systems on the Internet.Volume 2: The journey continues with volume two for mastering advanced techniques for network traffic analysis using Wireshark and other network sniffers. Then, we unlock the power of open‑source intelligence (OSINT) to gather valuable intel from publicly available sources, including social media, web, images, and others. From there, explore the unique challenges of securing the internet of things (IoT) and conquer the art of reconnaissance, the crucial first stage of ethical hacking. Finally, we explore the dark web – a hidden corner of the internet – and learn safe exploration tactics to glean valuable intelligence. The book concludes by teaching you how to exploit vulnerabilities ethically during penetration testing and write pen test reports that provide actionable insights for remediation.The two volumes will empower you to become a well‑rounded cybersecurity professional, prepared to defend against today’s ever‑increasing threats.

India-America Relations: Rooted in the Liberal International Order (Routledge Studies in US Foreign Policy)
by Atul BhardwajExamining India-America relations between 1942-62, this book reconsiders the role of America in shaping the imagination of post-colonial India. It rejects a conventional orthodoxy that assigns a limited role to America and challenges narratives which neglect the natural asymmetries and focus on discord and differences to define India-America relations. Integrating the security, political and economic elements of the Indo-American relationship it presents a synthesis of India’s encounter with the post-war hegemon and looks at the military, economic and political involvement of America during the ‘transfer of power’ from Britain to India. Bhardwaj delves into the role of American non-government agencies and examines the anti-communist ideological linkages that the Indian political class developed with America, the influence of this bonding and the role of American ideas, experts, funds, international relations and strategy in shaping India’s social, economic and educational institutions. Analyzing India’s non-alignment policy and its linkages to American policy on the non-communist neutrals, it argues that India’s movement towards the Soviet Union and away from China in the mid 1950s was in tune with the American strategy to cause the Sino-Soviet split. The book presents a fresh perspective based on authentic records and adds a new dimension to the understanding of modern Indian history and Indo-American relations. It will appeal to scholars and students of Indian and American history, international relations and strategy.

Democracy and Development: Allies or Adversaries? (Routledge Revivals)
by R.C. Bhardwaj K. VijayakrishnanPublished in 1998. The question of whether democracy and development are allies or adversaries has long been debated and with the triumph of the democratic spirit worldwide the relationship between democracy and development has once again come to attract much attention globally. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the developments in Eastern Europe led to considerable rethinking in political circles on the efficacy of the economic policies pursued in those countries and the long-term viability of political systems prevalent there. Elsewhere, several newly industrialized countries are striving to consolidate their gains, though there are differing perceptions of whether their politics conform to the classical framework of democracy or not. In a remarkable turn-around, some other countries have initiated measures for economic reforms and structural adjustment, setting aside their earlier approaches towards economic management. In short, the last decades of this millennium have witnessed meaningful efforts worldwide on forging a new partnership between democracy and development. In February 1996, the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association jointly organized a conference entitled 'Parliamentary Democracy and Development': Allies or Adversaries?’ with the Wilton Park, an international agency of the British Commonwealth and Foreign Office in Wilton House, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The week-long conference brought together parliamentarians, diplomats, administrators, political scientists, economists and specialists from all over the world. The participants shared their views and experiences on diverse aspects of the main theme. This publication presents an essentially parliamentary perspective on the correlation between democracy and development based on the discussions at the Wilton Park conference and in the light of current thinking on the subject matter.
The Chinese Shadow on India’s Eastward Engagement: The Energy Security Dimension (Routledge Critical Perspectives on India and China)
by Sanjay K. BhardwajIndia, one of the largest importers of oil in the world, has been diversifying its energy resource options and moving towards greater energy security. This book analyses India’s potential for building energy ties in the Asia–Pacific considering the global and regional power politics. Facing China’s growing influence in Asia, India’s eastward engagement with its extended neighbours has been entrenched in its Act East Policy and institutional commitments towards Southeast Asia. This volume focuses on diverse facets of energy security beyond the traditional understanding of demand and supply and price and stability. It examines India’s energy sector, its dependence on hydrocarbons, and the push towards renewable and alternate energy resources. It further looks at the strategic importance of the Indian Ocean and South China Sea regions in geopolitical negotiations from an energy perspective and how China’s influence in the region will affect India’s moves towards greater energy cooperation with the countries of East Asia. With contributions by leading experts, the volume seeks to fill a major void in this theme and cater to the needs of a variety of audiences including academics, policymakers and experts in international relations, geopolitics and geoeconomics, and professionals in the field of energy studies.

Stringers and the Journalistic Field: Marginalities and Precarious News Labour in Small-Town India (Ethnographic Innovations, South Asian Perspectives)
by Nimmagadda BhargavThis book is one of the first ethnographic works on small-town stringers or informal news workers in Indian journalism. It explores existing practices and cultures in the field of local journalism and the roles and spaces stringers occupy. The book outlines the caste, gender, class and region-based biases in the production of Indian-language journalism with a specific focus on stringers working in Telugu dailies in small towns or ‘mofussil’ areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, states in south India. Further, it captures their daily work and processes of news production, and the precarious lives they often lead while working in small towns or mofussils. The author, by using Bourdieu’s field theory, introduces the journalistic practices of stringers working on the margins and how they negotiate the complex hierarchies that exist within the journalistic field and outside it. This book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of ethnography, media sociology, journalism and media studies, labour studies and Area studies, especially South Asian studies.
