BOOKS OF THE WEEK

Eclipsing the West: China, India and the Forging of a New World by Vince Cable 

ABOUT THE BOOK

One of the Financial Times’ Best books of 2025’ – The Economic Times

As the international order begins to fragment, this incisive book explores what the rise of the Asian superstates means for the future.

The West-dominated world that has shaped global politics and economics for the past three centuries is undergoing profound change. As the United States retreats from its traditional role as guarantor of the international order, other nations are moving to fill the vacuum. Chief among them are two rising Asian superstates: China and India.

Together accounting for more than a third of the world’s population, China and India have the potential to wield immense economic and political influence. China is already competing with the United States for global economic leadership and, by some measures, has overtaken it. By the middle of the century, India may emerge as the world’s second- largest economy. How will these countries navigate their expanding roles on the world stage? What will their rise mean for global commerce, international law and the fight against climate change?

Drawing on decades of engagement with both countries – first as a professional economist and later as a senior government minister, Vince Cable combines the latest data with a lifetime of political and economic experience to offer a compelling analysis of how the rise of the Asian superstates will reshape the twenty- first century.

BOOKS OF THE WEEK

India's Secret War: BSF and Nine Months to the Birth of Bangladesh by Ushinor Majumdar  

ABOUT THE BOOK

Triggered by the US-backed Pakistani junta's brutal measures against the Bengalis, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman proclaimed the independence of East Pakistan on 26 March 1971. They needed the world's support, and India was their first ally.
The Border Security Force (BSF), an elite Indian force, was only five years old at the time and became central to India's sustained military response in East Pakistan for nine months, until the alliance of Indian and Bangladeshi forces won Dacca. The BSF's founding chief, K.F. Rustamji, and his men went beyond their charter of policing borders to respond to one of the world's worst humanitarian crises that was unfolding right next door to India. For nine months, till the 1971 India-Pakistan war, they covertly gave support to the forces of resistance, through clandestine missions and black ops deep in East Pakistan, while diplomats and politicians primed the world for the war. They welcomed democratically elected politicians and helped establish them as the government-in-exile, installed a clandestine radio station, triggered the defections of East Pakistani diplomats and foiled the Pakistan Army's tactical trump card to damage the Indian Air Force bases.
With access to classified records and through exhaustive interviews with surviving veterans, award-winning investigative reporter Ushinor Majumdar has crafted this first comprehensive historical account of the BSF's role in the Bangladesh liberation war, which changed the course of South Asian history.
