Global Icons considers how highly visible public figures such as Mother Theresa become global icons capable of galvanizing intense affect and sometimes even catalyzing social change.
In the vibrant tapestry of India's economic landscape, a prominent thread weaves through the narrative of industrial prowess - the Masters of Manufacturing. These visionary leaders and iconic figures stand as beacons of innovation, resilience, and transformative growth in the realm of industry. With a legacy deeply rooted in the rich soil of India's industrial history, these titans have not only shaped the destiny of their enterprises but have also played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's economic destiny. At the helm of this illustrious group is an assembly of captains of industry who have demonstrated exceptional acumen, foresight, and determination. Their contributions span across diverse sectors, from automotive to technology, textiles to pharmaceuticals, and everything in between. Each industrial icon has carved a unique niche, defining the trajectory of their respective industries and contributing significantly to the country's overall economic development. In the automotive sector, figures like Ratan Tata, the visionary behind Tata Motors, and Anand Mahindra, the driving force behind Mahindra & Mahindra, have not only steered their companies to global recognition but have also been instrumental in positioning India as a hub for automobile manufacturing and innovation. In the technology domain, leaders such as Azim Premji, the founder of Wipro, and N. R. Narayana Murthy, the co-founder of Infosys, have not only transformed their companies into global IT giants but have also played a pivotal role in shaping India's identity as a technology powerhouse. Textile magnates like Aditya Birla and Ambani family, with their companies Aditya Birla Group and Reliance Industries respectively, have been instrumental in establishing India as a global textile and manufacturing hub. Their influence extends beyond the boardroom, reaching into the very fabric of India's economic landscape. In the pharmaceutical realm, figures like Dr. Reddy, founder of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, the founder of Biocon, have not only pioneered breakthroughs in healthcare but have also laid the foundation for India's emergence as a pharmaceutical research and manufacturing giant. These industrial icons are not just business leaders; they are architects of change, social contributors, and nation-builders. Their stories are not only tales of corporate success but narratives of resilience, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. India's Industrial Icons, the Masters of Manufacturing, have left an indelible mark on the canvas of India's industrial history, inspiring generations to come and shaping the destiny of a nation on the rise.

Icons of Power investigates why the image of the cat has been such a potent symbol in the art, religion and mythology of indigenous American cultures for three thousand years. The jaguar and the puma epitomize ideas of sacrifice, cannibalism, war, and status in a startling array of graphic and enduring images. Natural and supernatural felines inhabit a shape-shifting world of sorcery and spiritual power, revealing the shamanic nature of Amerindian world views. This pioneering collection offers a unique pan-American assessment of the feline icon through the diversity of cultural interpretations, but also striking parallels in its associations with hunters, warriors, kingship, fertility, and the sacred nature of political power. Evidence is drawn from the pre-Columbian Aztec and Maya of Mexico, Peruvian, and Panamanian civilizations, through recent pueblo and Iroquois cultures of North America, to current Amazonian and Andean societies. This well-illustrated volume is essential reading for all who are interested in the symbolic construction of animal icons, their variable meanings, and their place in a natural world conceived through the lens of culture. The cross-disciplinary approach embraces archaeology, anthropology, and art history.
A legendary journalist's close encounters and candid profiles of the powerful, the famous, the glamorous and the rich--from Nehru, Jinnah and Sheikh Abdullah to Meena Kumari, Indira Gandhi and Narendra Modi. In this frank and freewheeling narrative, Kuldip Nayar recounts his experiences of meeting many of the men and women who shaped the destiny of pre- and post-Independence India, revealing hitherto unknown aspects of their personalities and shedding light on many key events in the country. Was Nehru a secret dynast who had only his daughter Indira Gandhi in mind as his successor? What role did Nayar himself play in Lal Bahadur Shastri's election as prime minster after Nehru's death? Why did Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan--revered as the Frontier Gandhi--refer to Indians as 'baniyas'? And who did Zulfikar Ali Bhutto think should be the prime minister of the entire subcontinent--India, Pakistan and Bangladesh? Interspersed with these political reminiscences are delightful accounts of Meena Kumari's encounter with Shastri on the sets of Pakeezah, and Faiz Ahmed Faiz's flawless recitation of his great poetry even after consuming a full bottle of Black Dog whiskey. Nayar does not fight shy of expressing his opinions--be it a comparison of JRD and Ratan Tata, advice for Narendra Modi, or reflections on the shape of Indo-Pak relations had Mahatma Gandhi and Mohammed Ali Jinnah lived longer. In this absorbing and entertaining book--which he finished only weeks before he passed away--Kuldip Nayar writes in the grand old tradition of journalists who were not afraid to tell it like it is.
