This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of US naval presence and strategy in one of the world's most strategically significant regions. Spanning from the Cold War era to the present day, the book traces the trajectory of US engagement in the Indian Ocean, examining the factors driving strategic shifts, security challenges, and evolving alliances. It investigates how the US has transitioned from a posture of dominance to one of diffusion, engaging with regional partners to address emerging threats and seize opportunities. The book also looks at the rise of China and how it has impacted US presence in a somewhat transformed region – the Indo-Pacific.Part of the International Politics in the Age of Disruption series, the book will be indispensable for students and researchers of military studies, security studies, political studies, international relations, security studies, and South Asian studies.

Beginning Apache Cassandra Development introduces you to one of the most robust and best-performing NoSQL database platforms on the planet. Apache Cassandra is a document database following the JSON document model. It is specifically designed to manage large amounts of data across many commodity servers without there being any single point of failure. This design approach makes Apache Cassandra a robust and easy-to-implement platform when high availability is needed.Apache Cassandra can be used by developers in Java, PHP, Python, and JavaScript—the primary and most commonly used languages. In Beginning Apache Cassandra Development, author and Cassandra expert Vivek Mishra takes you through using Apache Cassandra from each of these primary languages. Mishra also covers the Cassandra Query Language (CQL), the Apache Cassandra analog to SQL. You'll learn to develop applications sourcing data from Cassandra, query that data, and deliver it at speed to your application's users.Cassandra is one of the leading NoSQL databases, meaning you get unparalleled throughput and performance without the sort of processing overhead that comes with traditional proprietary databases. Beginning Apache Cassandra Development will therefore help you create applications that generate search results quickly, stand up to high levels of demand, scale as your user base grows, ensure operational simplicity, and—not least—provide delightful user experiences.

इन कहानियों से जूझते हुए बार-बार रीतता, फिर-फिर भर आता। जान नहीं पाता कि रीतने के लिए लिखता हूँ, या रिक्त हूँ इसलिए कहानियाँ बेरोक-टोक बही आती हैं। पर एक बार जब ये कहानियाँ भीतर प्रवेश करती हैं तो लगता है कि यह सब मेरे अपने ही जीवन की कहानियाँ हैं। शायद मन के गहरे कुएं के भीतर ही कहीं कुछ ऐसा है जिससे कोई घटना, कोई व्यक्ति, कोई परिस्थिति ऐसे पकड़ लेती है कि उससे छूट पाना मुश्किल हो जाता है। लगता है उससे कोई पुराना रिश्ता है। दिल-दिमाग उसके भीतर से कुछ ढूँढकर शायद अपने ही अधूरेपन को पूरा करने की कोशिश करने लगता है।

This book is an attempt to tell the story of India's fight against COVID-19 and the impact it had in reshaping of India's foreign policy. How India responded starting from the early stages of the pandemic, including ensuring the return of its people in the early stages and aid delivery at later stages, is a story that needs to be told. Indian foreign policy bore an extraordinary brunt of deliverance, even as it imposed total lockdown in a country of 1.3 billion people. This book recounts the steps taken by the Indian government and its various departments and agencies during COVID-19, the coordination. Between them and its overall impact on the nation's outlook. As the nature of diplomacy shifted from physical to virtual and trade became difficult with countries closing the border, India had to invoke its Atmanirbhar spirit to sustain the momentum of nation's collective conscience. India's diplomacy during the peak of the pandemic faced multiple challenges not just induced by the virus but also enhanced threats at the border by China. Perhaps, India's relations with great, middle and small powers have stood revised in many ways in the post-pandemic world. This book remains an unfinished project as neither has COVID-19 threat completely ended, nor have other virus-induced changes been fully restored to resume the pre-pandemic world of global relations, mobility and diplomacy.
