This book tries to fulfill a crying need of our graduate and postgraduate students, and those preparing for the civil services exam who would like to read contemporary world history in Hindi. The book traces the roots of some of the problems that we face today and attempts to show how deep-rooted some of these problems are. The book has been written in simple, easy-to-understand, Hindi. Attempts have been made to use images wherever possible to help understand the topic better. There are 15 chapters in the book which range from the end of the Second World War, the formation of different international organisations, end of the Communist rule, the Cold War, USA, and the changes in the outlook and policies of the West European countries and Globalisation.
