Every human soul is divine and valuable. An embodied being¿s ultimate purpose is the enjoyment of Supreme bliss as a free soul (Mukta, salvation, liberation) in the highest heaven. Enjoyment is also the basis of happiness upon earth. It leads to the spiritual enlightenment for happy, healthy, and peaceful life and environment. The knowledge of self is what leads to the knowledge of God and this knowledge is the road to eternal happiness or bliss. Real happiness cannot be found externally, it must be realized within. The soul of a man is in the hidden structure of God. He is inside all of us. All life comes from God. The causes of unhappiness are our ego, our prejudice, our desire, and our impropriety. There must not be any lust and hatred, neither longing for one thing, nor any loathing the opposite. The world is spiraling toward conflict, belligerence, and disharmony and is now going through an unprecedented spiritual crisis, class confrontation, calamity, and nuclear and terrorists¿ threats. The rise of drug use, the rise of broken families, the rise of the number of single parents, the rise of school and public space mass shootings, the rise of suicides and depression, the rise of sexual scandals among priests and media, rise of overuse of iPad and smartphones by young kids are all threatening our home, society, schools, and the environment with vicious violence, menacing insecurity, wild protests, and rampant immorality.

This book deals with the evolution of jihadism in the past centuries and its impact on the world as an existential threat to humanity in view of worldwide terrorist attacks while imperiling the democracy, secularism, plurality, freedom, and security of the civilized world.

The purpose of this book is to narrate important, dynamic events that have taken place in the IndoU.S. relations, beginning from 1943 to 2013. This includes the American role in Indias independence, the Cold War, demise of the Soviet Union, resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism, terrorists attack of American cities in 2001, decline of American power, rise of India, and rise of China. The study is confined to only three areas: terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and nuclear energy. The defining moment of the twenty-first century occurred in 2008 when these two estranged great democracies engaged one another to work on common goals and establish a strategic relationship between two natural allies.

Radicalism in Islam explores the causes of Islamic terrorism, the resurgence of radicalism, the global jihad of Osama bin Laden, and the impact of new technology on terrorism, including new deadly threats to information and environmental systems. The book also presents mitigation strategies.
