Geopolitics : Decoding Intents, Narratives, Lies and Future

Good content. Should be very useful for those who do not keep up with geo-politics and economic developments in the world around us.

In exploring the labyrinthine realms of geopolitics, this "GEOPOLITICS DECODING INTENTS, LIES, NARRATIVES AND FUTURE" penned by the sagacious K Siddhartha and Ankit Shah emerges as a veritable odyssey, demands not merely attention but an intellectual vigour to navigate its profound depths. I, having been an assiduous observer of geopolitical machinations, approached this work with a semblance of familiarity, albeit was met with a formidable challenge that delightfully shattered any semblance of complacency. The tome, it appears, has not been crafted for the faint of heart nor the cursory glance. Nay, it demands of its reader a commitment to delve, ponder, and ruminate upon the myriad of concepts, theories, and narratives meticulously interwoven by the authors. I, albeit seasoned in the observation of geopolitical events through various mediums (yes - it may sound like I am blowing my own trumpet), found myself ensnared in a maelstrom of information, wherein on average, every fourth page necessitated a pause, a moment of reflection to assimilate the profundities therein. A peculiar yet intriguing aspect, as noted by me, was the discourse upon time standardisation, a topic that, whilst initially perceived as an oddity amidst the geopolitical discourse, did verily provoke thought and contemplation. Such instances serve as a testament to the authors’ adept ability to intertwine the seemingly disparate threads of geopolitical, social, and scientific narratives into a cohesive tapestry that challenges and expands the intellectual horizons of its audience. Having embarked upon this journey with an expectation of ease, I found myself instead on a path that demanded rigour and repeated exploration. The book, thus, is not to be merely read but to be studied, dissected, and revisited, for within its pages lies a veritable feast of information, a buffet of knowledge that one cannot simply consume in a singular sitting. It is a tome that invites, nay, insists upon multiple readings, each perusal revealing hitherto unnoticed nuances and subtleties. In the epilogue, a desire for continual iterations and updates from the authors is expressed, a sentiment echoed by me as I yearn for further enlightenment from these intellectual paragons. The world of geopolitics, as presented within these pages, is not a static entity but an ever-shifting, evolving organism, and as such, the reader finds himself eagerly anticipating future insights, revelations, and analyses from Siddhartha and Shah. On a lighter, albeit poignant note, I would jestingly allude to the sensation of claustrophobia, perhaps a metaphorical encapsulation of the overwhelming yet enthralling deluge of information and concepts presented within the tome. It is a testament to the depth and complexity of the work that it can simultaneously enlighten and inundate, providing a comprehensive, albeit dense, exploration of its subject matter. In summation, "GEOPOLITICS DECODING INTENTS, LIES, NARRATIVES AND FUTURE" emerges not merely as a book but as an intellectual expedition, demanding both commitment and cerebral engagement. It is a journey that promises enlightenment, challenges preconceptions, and provides a veritable feast for the inquisitive mind, albeit one that requires time, patience, and repeated exploration to fully appreciate the depths of its wisdom and insight.

But the book appears as pirated. Paper quality is very thin, text of back side is partially visible on the side we're reading the page. Cutting of the edges was executed poorly as some of the pages were folded and were not cut. Overall, a must read.

Heads-off to Mr Ankit Shah for letting a common man to understand such an intriguing subject ,which otherwise was totally elusive ..... Perhaps this is the finest book on the intricate world of Geopolitics, the most candid book one might ever get to read on how Geopolitics actually works. Lucid, very easy to understand and extremely insightful and educative. Once you are through with this book, you will be able to analyse at the way narratives had been built in India post independence, and we the local Hindus were totally unaware as how smoothly everything sanatan had been snatched away from us under our nose ....It also beings qualitative insights into Global Affairs and Foreign Policy from a vastly different point of view.....a must to read and recommend others to read ....

Forget your favorite thriller movie. This book can trigger paradigm shifts. You will learn about shocking facts and reasons behind established narratives. Who and what controls the world, geopolitics and geoeconomics? New world order, decolonisation, de-dollarisation, deradicalisation - all explained in a simple, interesting and entertaining manner. The author, Ankit Shah, analyses actions of countries and their leaders, the flow of cash to predict the future events. His hit rate at predicting the future is amazing. This book is highly recommended for everyone irrespective of whether they have interest in geopolitics or not. While reading this book, you will develop a taste for geopolitics and geoeconomics. Go for it!

Reading Chapter 3, and I find some binding issues with the book. The cover is equally poor ( texts are blurry ) and the overall book gives you a feel as if it's a duplicate or knockoff / Xerox of the book. On the book itself it's rich in all the content and knowledge. I can't agree more with the book as It aligns not just with the basic belifs of what should be right but also explains what going on, how it got so messed up, what is the hidden goals of too much individualism, destroying family values and joint family, suppressing language and also the greater play at geopolitics ( which I read here and there ). This book is a must read for anyone who wants to know how things are playing out in the world and India that will impact our lines in a big way ( bad or good ) in rear future.

I enjoyed reading book. It is a well-written and insightful book that analyzes the current and emerging geopolitical trends and challenges in the world, especially from the perspective of India. It helps to expose and understand the hidden agendas and propaganda of some actors and factors, such as the US, China, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, ASEAN, BRICS, and the media. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in understanding India's geopolitical challenges and potentials in the 21st century.

This book addresses many doubts I had as a child. 1/4th birthday parties for 29th February. Why no belief in reincarnation could also mean no 2nd coming. Role of religion, race within 3 religions VS a religion perceived as hinduISM & the history of an ancient culture that is still thriving unknown to even some who still practice it in terms of the basics of existence. A must read for a bharatiya in this era of celebration and returning back to our former glory. Congratulations to K. Siddhartaji & Ankitji 🙏
