Book excerpt: My Reflexions is a story book containing 19 stories written by a retired engineering professional. According to the author, barring two stories, Angkor Wat – A Travelogue and Priyesh Menon – An Obituary, all stories are a work of fiction. Each story was a result of the author hearing an event reported in news in the print or TV or Internet or social media or even in his own life that suddenly triggered him to think differently. When the author looked at the event from various angles and reflected on it a new story was born. The seven stories from this book - The Clone, The Missing Week, The Carrier, The Underworld, The Space Twins, The Invasion and Journey of a Soul are classic science fictions and show author's love and his exposure to India's Space Program during his long service in the Research Laboratory under Dept. of Space. The author has succeeded in dealing with the complex plots in all these stories in a remarkably free flowing language and tries to search his own answers and solutions to many questions the modern science has failed to answer, so far. The Thread and The Obsession deal with the intricate and complex human relationships in the family life in our society today. All the remaining eight stories are based on the socio-political atmosphere prevailing in the country. They are thoroughly enjoyable due to the element of subtle humor in their narration and do not intend to hurt anybody's feelings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I felt that to remain in politics and keep fighting for the principles was my calling. So; I thought that working with the people of similar ideology might be more fruitful. I felt affinity with those parties which were neither corrupt nor power-drunk…. Ideologically; I found myself close to Jana Sangh and Swatantra Party. I was in a dilemma to choose between the two. So; I decided to contest the election on the ticket of both these parties. I became candidate of Jana Sangh from Karera constituency of Madhya Pradesh Assembly. Tihar is not a jail; it is hell on earth. And those people were pushed in this hell whose penance threatened to dethrone Indiraji. There were piles of filth at different places in Tihar jail. It would make the inside air polluted which was stifling. While eating one had to constantly drive away the flies with one’s hands. The ears would be abuzz with the sounds of insects. In the darkness the brooch would glow and crickets would speak. Life was difficult. But despite that we would have sound sleep. Ayodhya is not a city made of bricks and mortars. It is a symbol of India’s soul and national identity. That’s why when the Rath Yatra was taken out; Hindus and Muslims participated in it alike. This national integration caused heart burns to those vested interests that were in the habit of taking the advantage of social division.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the 1947 Indian/Pakistani partition is one of separation: a country and people newly divided. However, in telling this story, Anindya Raychaudhuri, the son of a partition participant, looks to unity, joining for the first time the public and private memory narratives of this pivotal moment in time. Narrating Partition features in-depth interviews with more than 120 individuals across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the United Kingdom, each reflecting on a direct or inherited experience of the 1947 Indian/Pakistani partition. Through the collection of these oral history narratives, Raychaudhuri is able to place them into comparison with the literary, cinematic, and artistic representations of partition, and in doing so, examine the ways this event is remembered, re-interpreted, and reconstructed--and the narrator's role in this process. These stories also reflect on the themes of home, family, violence, childhood, trains, and rivers within these public and private narratives. Crucially, Raychaudhuri is the first writer to use oral history in addressing the Bengal/Punjab partition as part of this same event, examining the memorial legacy in both the Bengali and Punjabi communities.

Book excerpt: A PIONEERING WORK ON A highly topical subject, Chaff and Grain: Guilt, Innocence and the Dilemmas of Justice by Vivek Sood goes into the malfunctions of the criminal justice system in India. The Supreme Court has gone to the extent of saying that in our criminal justice system the judge presiding over a trial decides on the basis of his sixth sense as to what must have happened during the incident and then lays his trust in God and good luck for coming to the 'right' conclusion. In this hard-hitting take on the criminal justice process, Sood delves into how the innocent end up as undertrials, the misuse of the power of arrest by the police, unjustified denial of bail, manipulated investigations and fake encounters. Apart from making out a case for imperative reforms, in another important suggestion, Sood has redefined 'hate speech' and 'sedition', cases relating to which have been in the news. These are offences that legislators and policymakers can look at afresh, he says. The book also examines the investigations into some of the most controversial cases to hit the headlines in the past two decades-Aarushi Talwar, Jessica Lal, Priyadarshini Mattoo, the Telgi fake stamp paper scam and the Nirbhaya rape-making it a riveting read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first full evaluation of the Proto-Australian hypothesis, which proposes that most Australian languages have a common ancestor: Proto-Australian [PA]. Using the standard methodologies of historical linguistics, the authors show that nearly all Australian languages descend from PA. Given that PA was a single language, it was spoken only in a small area of Australia. Its descendants have spread across the continent. Current theories of language spread do not offer clear motivations for large-scale spread in hunter-gatherer economies. This raises significant questions for analyses of Australian prehistory and archaeology specifically, and more widely for general theories of hunter-gatherer prehistory and language spread.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume offers a contemporary rethinking of the relationship between love and care in the context of neoliberal practices of professionalization and work. Each of the book's three sections interrogates a particular site of care, where the affective, political, legal, and economic dimensions of care intersect in challenging ways. These sites are located within a variety of institutionally managed contexts such as the contemporary university, the theatre hall, the prison complex, the family home, the urban landscape, and the care industry. The geographical spread of the case studies stretches across India, Vietnam, Sweden, Brazil, South Africa, the UK and the US and provides broad coverage that crosses the divide between the Global North and the Global South. To address this transnational interdisciplinary field of study, the collection utilises insights from across the humanities and social sciences and includes contributions from literature, sociology, cultural and media studies, philosophy, feminist theory, theatre, art history, and education. These inquiries build on a variety of conceptual tools and research methods, from data analysis to psychoanalytic reading. Love and the Politics of Care delivers an attentive and widely relevant examination of the politics of care and makes a compelling case for an urgent reconsideration of the methods that currently structure and regulate it.

Discover the Om Puri no one knows about - the tongue-tied actor from Punjab with stars in his eyes; the incorrigible flirt in drama school; the connoisseur of food and expert cook; and the complete family man. Featuring amusing anecdotes with his family, shocking episodes with the stalwarts of Indian and British cinema, and the nail-biting suspense of his love life, the tale is complemented by rare and unusual photographs. Told with wit, honesty, and elan, this book is a fitting tribute to the inspirational tale of Om Puri - one of the most talented actors of India. The late Patrick Swayze, Om Puri's co-actor in City of Joy, recounts the impact Om had on his life, while notable film critic Derek Malcolm talks about Om's immense talent and vast repertoire. Naseeruddin Shah fondly remembers his friendship with Om that began at the National School of Drama and Om's rise in the national and international film industry.

Book excerpt: Presenting an original take on women’s safety in the cities of twenty-first century India, Why Loiter? maps the exclusions and negotiations that women from different classes and communities encounter in the nation’s urban public spaces. Basing this book on more than three years of research in Mumbai, Shilpa Phadke, Sameera Khan and Shilpa Ranade argue that though women’s access to urban public space has increased, they still do not have an equal claim to public space in the city. And they raise the question: can women’s access to public space be viewed in isolation from that of other marginal groups? Going beyond the problem of the real and implied risks associated with women’s presence in public, they draw from feminist theory to argue that only by celebrating loitering—a radical act for most Indian women—can a truly equal, global city be created.

This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the the Roman and Tania Ghirshman Prize 2015 by the French Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. This prize was established in 1973 by the donation made by Roman Ghirshman, one of the prominent French archaeologists of Pre-Islamic Iran. It is awarded annually for a publication in the field of Pre-Islamic Iranian Studies. In Intangible Spirits and Graven Images, Michael Shenkar investigates the perception of ancient Iranian deities and their representation in the Iranian cults. This ground-breaking study traces the evolution of the images of these deities, analyses the origin of their iconography, and evaluates their significance. Shenkar also explores the perception of anthropomorphism and aniconism in ancient Iranian religious imagery, with reference to the material evidence and the written sources, and reassesses the value of the Avestan and Middle Persian texts that are traditionally employed to illuminate Iranian religious imagery. In doing so, this book provides important new insights into the religion and culture of ancient Iran prior to the Islamic conquest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third volume of our Ute language collection contains the Ute dictionary. It opens with several introductory chapters that link the dictionary to our Ute Reference Grammar (2011) and explain the structure and use of the dictionary. The bulk of the information on the meaning and usage of Ute words is then given in the Ute-English part. The English-Ute part, next, serves primarily as a search-and-reference tool. A short section on traditional semantic-cultural fields follows. Ute is a Northern Uto-Aztecan language of the Numic sub-family. Together with its northern dialects (Southern Paiute, Uintah, White River), it should be considered a single language, Núuchi ("of the people") or Núu-'apaghapi ("the people's speech"). While our work was done primarily in the southern dialects (Southern Ute, Ute Mountain, Uncompaghre), we have included as many words as could be safely extracted from Powel's and Smith's work on the northern dialects, as well as some from Sapir's work (1931) on Northern Ute, adjusting them to Southern-dialect pronunciation. This brings the work as close as one could hope, at this time, to a comprehensive all-Ute dictionary, a task that yet remains to be done. We have tried to emphasize in the Ute-English entries the historical and derivational connectivity of Ute vocabulary and its gradual growth and expansion. This is also underscored in the introductory chapter on word derivation. While this work remains incomplete, we hope it can be some day expanded into an all-inclusive Ute dictionary, and will help the people – Núuchiu – preserve their language and culture.

Book excerpt: In 2015 the Goethe-Instituts in Kolkata (India) and Dhaka (Bangladesh) began a collaborative project entitled ‘Inherited Memories’. The project began with a key question that grew out of discussions on memory and history: was there such a thing as a ‘culture of remembrance’ in India, something akin to the Erinnerungskultur in Germany? The question was asked specifically in relation to the Partition of India in 1947: why was it that such a major historical event found little reflection in public memory? Soon, other questions came up: why was it, for example, that whatever memorialising existed was largely in the West, in Punjab, and the Bengal region, which had lived through two partitions and a war that could be likened to a third partition, was given such little attention? At the time these discussions began, many, perhaps most, of the survivors of the 1947 Partition were no longer alive and their memories therefore lost to us. It is often said that memory jumps a generation, so a decision was taken to talk across borders with the children and grandchildren of Partition refugees in the Bengal region, to look at how memory is passed down, what is retained or lost, and how it is owned and shared by subsequent generations. This book, which comprises interviews from both Bangladesh and West Bengal, is the result of these discussions. Guided by a committed and engaged group of writers from both countries, the book explores, through the stories of ancestors the memories people carried with them, the things they never forgot, the yearnings that did not go away, the journeys that remained unfinished, and those that were accomplished. Through these, it examines how history simultaneously looks so similar and so different from either side.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a former All India Topper, this book has been touted by several iconic IITians as the most effective book on JEE planning ever written! Anagh argues that most IITians are neither born-geniuses nor unusually intense work-machines; they are smart planners instead.He takes you behind-the-scenes to reveal how smart planning works for JEE and lays out a clear framework for goal-oriented thinking. The step by step approach outlined across 11 chapters covers everything from daily routine to efficient practice to long term motivation, all explained through real life examples and presented with time-tested proofs. It talks about achieving one's goals while not missing out on a balanced life and questions people's deepest beliefs about achieving a large and meaningful goal like IIT-JEE. After finishing the book, readers will take away not just a concrete plan to prepare for JEE, but in the words of an early reviewer, a "life-altering" change in perspective towards success. “Edifying and thought-provoking! Reading this book will help you succeed not only in JEE but also in life." - Chitraang Murdia, AIR-1 in JEE Adv, 2014 “Covers a lot of important topics and explains goal setting well” - Aman Bansal, AIR-1 in JEE Adv, 2016 “Develops a holistic strategy to ace the JEE” - Ananye Agarwal, AIR-3 in JEE Adv, 2017 “Informative and Inspirational!
