Maritime Morbidity and MortalityIntra-Indian Ocean Transmission of

Disease 1500-1800 (Volume-I)Abhay Kumar Singh

This is a unique volume in its content as it accomplishesthe aim of offering relational study. It offers analogies ofthe relations between environmental degradation, microbialadaptability, and disease potency; relations between climatechange, microbial adaptability, and disease virulence;

relations between biometransformation, intra-and-inter biome diseasetransmission; and relationsbetween global warming,and the rate of diseaseshifting to newgeographical locations.

The book, therefore,assimilates the multi-dimensionality, and multi-facettedness of themicrobiosis, zoonosis, andepidemics of the Indian



Ocean into its domain. The history, and geography of theinfectious, genetic, and hereditary human diseases of theIndian Ocean have been explored comprehensively andcoherently in this volume. Supplemental to this is theexploration of perennial influence of multitudinousanthropogenic subsistence strategies on disease virulence,and evolution of new, and potent diseases in the IndianOcean.

This is the most comprehensive study of its kind ofdisease, and epidemics of the Indian Ocean since themonumental Handbook of Geographical and HistoricalPathology by August Hirsch. Many of the intricate microbial,epidemical, and medical ideas have been elaborated byutilizing most modern tools, and techniques of research.Comparatively, this is the first micro-study of microbiosis,zoonosis, and epidemics of the Indian Ocean, based onholistic, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary methodologies.Maritime trade and migration as mediums of pathogenicmicrobial intra-Indian Ocean transmission, Indian Oceanmicrobial biomes, origins, and evolution of historical diseasesin early modern Indian Ocean constitute essential, and mostvital inherent specificities of this research. The book isaccessible to ocean scientists, Indian Ocean medical andenvironmental historians and scientists, maritime historians,students of multiple disciplines, and even laypeople.

Semantics & Phenomenology of IKalyankumar Bagchi

The book addresses itself to the question ‘does one’sexpression of self-consciousness consist in using language

with meaning? or ‘does onephenomenalize the use of I inexpressing one’s self-consciousness?How would such phenomenalizinggive a common space to the speaker ofI and his hearer?’ Again, ‘does one‘ascribe’ – a la Strawson self-consciousness to one self?’ To allthese questions, the book tries to findout answers from the point of view ofProfessor K.C. Bhattacharyya’sPhilosophy of the Subject. The

probable answers of these questions may be useful not onlyfor the philosophers, but intellectuals belonging to the fieldof literature, religion and other social sciences.

Vedic Philosophy of ValuesS.G. Nigal

“Have you seen the Vedas?” While almost everyone inEurope, where a Christian majority inthe population exists, has seen theBible and almost everyone in theMiddle East, where a Muslim majorityexists, has seen the Koran. It isshameful that very few people in India,especially Hindus, have seen, let alonestudied the holy Vedas. This booktakes one to that core of IndianPhilosophy, viz., the Vedas, theessential basis of why Indian culture

has lasted for thousands of years amidst numerousinvasions and injustices.

Primarily, this treatise reveals that values were inherentlyassociated with Indian philosophy for thousands of years,through a detailed critical analysis of the Four Puru_s"arthasthat are explicit in the Vedas: Dharma, Artha, K "ama andMok_sa. Some Western Indologists and Leftist interpretersbelieved that the Vedas, being primitive, do not contain themoral and spiritual values. The author of this treatise onVedic Axiology (Vedic Philosophy of Values) hasdemonstrated that the seeds of the Indian Philosophy ofvalues can be found even in the Mantra portions of theVedas. Clearly, Indian Philosophy is not mere intellectualsport; it has a direct connection with our everyday lives andcan guide us as individuals, and a society, in the properdirection.

This book captures the intellectual genius and vastarray of knowledge of Dr. Nigal. For example, this scholarlymasterpiece contains numerous citations and references,which stretch from, but are not limited to: the different Vedasand Upani_sads, Aurobindo, Max Müller, contemporarypsychologists and Western Philosophers, etc.

In Max Muller’s words, This book reveals: “What IndiaCan Teach Us”.

Buddhist PsychologyAmal K. Barua

Mind is a problematic concept; sundry attempts have alreadybeen made from different view points to clear up theproblem. However, in this book an endeavour has been madeto deal with the problem from Buddhist point of view. Anattempt has been made not only to show how Mindfunctions, rather the task is undertaken to reveal what Mindis. Of course, Mind is not a material object, it is a stream of

consciousness, a flow of thoughtand the body which rooms it is,according to Buddha, an aggregateof four great elements.

Mind and Mental Factors havebeen dealt with the materials availablein the early Buddhist texts. Hereindifferent planes of consciousnesshave been exposed and alsoexplained. In this connection avariety of views about mind of

different schools of Buddhist Philosophy have also beendiscussed.

Factors are the properties or qualities of Mind, they arealso in a sense psychic-atoms; they are fifty two in all, anexposition of all the factors have neither been done inconformity with theravada tradition.

Also an endeavour has been made to provide the readerwith a critical study of views held by both Buddhist andWestern psychologists about mind and its factors. The wayof consciousness in Buddhist Psychology is a journey fromethical maxims to psychological principles. Other wayBuddhist Psychology is said to be a meeting point betweenethics on the one hand and psychology on the other.

In the current changing scenario of global competition,advances in technology, open economic environment andgradual shifting from muscle to machine and brawn to brainpower, importance is attached to Human Resources.

In this book, the concept of Human ResourceDevelopment in the national context is highlighted. HRD is

the wave of the future, but in eachcountry, HRD has different history andthe potential for divergent futuredimensions must be recognised. Theinterpretation of HRD from differentpoints of view i.e., economist,psychologist and sociologist has beenreflected.

The HRD for women covers a widerange of areas like education in a widercontext, political empowerment of women

and other developmental programmes for women sponsoredby the Government.

In this book the development of education for womenin India since Vedic period to the present day is brieflyanalysed. Especially, importance of education andprovisions in the different Five Year Plans, literacy rates,dropouts at school level, Gross Enrolment Ratio in India,are also analysed in brief. The educational scenario of Orissain general and Koraput district in particular is reflected inthis book in detail.

In the second part of the book, the politicalempowerment of women at both national and internationallevel has been critically discussed. The political participationof women in the three-tier Panchayat Elections, AssemblyElections from the date of carving out Orissa as a separatestate in 1936 is highlighted.

This book, while attempting to answer this question isa unique collection of data covering comprehensively theanalysis of the concepts, multifarious facets and theobstacles that come in the way of women’s real development.Few strategies have been evolved to achieve it in reality.

The book is a unique document for researchers,academicians, NGOs, and the government administrators toinitiate campaign to bring changes, which is the need of thehour for developing/empowering the women.

Rural Non-Farm Economy ofMadhya Pradesh : A Case Study

Reeta Chauhan

The agriculture sector has played a central role inproviding rural employment opportunities in India, but anumber of factors have limited its potential for generatingnew jobs in the rural areas. This has contributed torestricting the job creation capacity in the agriculture sector.It is therefore, necessary to focus on a broader spectrum of

the rural economy and not just onagriculture.

The rural non-farm sector is avital part which accounts for alarger proportion of total ruralemployment and income. In fact,these rural non farm activities arebecoming the growth engines of ruraldevelopment and therefore to findsolution to the problems of povertyand un-employment. In this book an

attempt has been made to examine the contribution ofthe non-farm sector across different segments of ruralhouseholds. The study is based on the data collectedfrom rural households belonging to five villages acrossJabalpur district. The analysis indicates that non-farmincome accounts for a significant proportion of householdincome in rural India with considerable variation acrossdifferent income groups. The research suggests that thepolicy makers seeking to maximise the impact of anexpanding non-farm sector on rural poverty andunemployment should concentrate on micro dimensionsrelated to non-farm employability, as well as efforts shouldbe focused on removing the barriers to the entry of thepoor into the non-farm sector.

The book has been organized into six Chapters.Chapter-I is the introductory chapter which deals withthe meaning, categorization and significance of rural non-farm sector. Chapter-II is devoted to the thematic reviewof the existing body of literature to identify the researchgap. Chapter-III deals with the profile of Madhya Pradeshand Jabalpur district, specific objectives of the study anddetailed description of the methodological framework.Chapter-IV is mainly confined to casual factor analysisbased on regression techniques. Chapter-V deals withsummary of the findings of the study. Chapter-VI isdevoted to the problems identified and the suggestionsemerged in the form of policy prescriptions for the ruralnon-farm sector.

Chhabilendra Roul

The jute commodity system as prevalent in the Indiansubcontinent is a conglomeration of paradoxes. Jute was oncecalled the golden fibre on account of its contribution to meansof livelihood to millions of farmers, traders, manufacturersin the unorganized sector, mill workers in the organizedsector as well scores of people employed in the servicesector relating to trading, manufacturing and exports of juteand jute goods. Jute industry along with texti lemanufacturing provided the foundation of modernmanufacturing industry in India. Simultaneously, thisindustry was also the fountain head of the growth of privateentrepreneurship and capital in India. Most of the traditionalIndustrial Houses in India grew out of trading andmanufacturing of jute and jute goods, coal and tea. On theother hand most of the farmers involved in cultivation ofnatural fibres like jute are small and marginal farmers.Without alternative avenues of gainful employmentelsewhere, these millions in South Asia would be deprivedof a part of their livelihood. The entire commodity chain ofnatural fibres is characterized by low productivity, low valueaddition, high volumes and low returns. The advent anddiscovery of mineral oil helped exploit cheap HDPE and PPpolyethylene sacks, which started replacing the natural fibrebased packaging materials. As a result, the jute industry gotwiped out from Europe, America and the Far East. Today,it is survived in the Indian subcontinent and to a lesser extentin Brazil. The unique feature of the volume is that it focuseson the first hand experience of the policy-makers and otherstakeholders in the jute commodity system, who areconfronted with a dilemma of reviving a declining economicsubsector. At this juncture, when there is need for aCommodity Development Strategy suitable to the ethos ofa commodity like the jute fibre, the present, volumesattempts to devise such a strategy thorough analysis of thesystem based on authentic and up-to-date information. TheBook furnishes an erudite analysis and stock-taking of thejute commodity system. This analysis points out to the factthat there is a need for a holistic, systemic approach to theproblems being faced by this sector focusing on the economicexploitation of the whole jute plant; holistic research foraddressing productivity and processing efficiency in theentire commodity chain of jute; and creating a network oforganisations for advocacy for jute and allied fibres, whichwould focus on repositioning the golden fibre as sustainableand eco-friendly commodity with the help of green andsustainable development advocacy groups. The CommodityDevelopment Strategy highlights the need for greater effortfor significant degree of product diversification which wouldentail significant consumption of the fibre or fabric in volume

terms. The volume endswith an optimistic notewith ideas of inclusivedevelopment under theMillennium DevelopmentGoals and Carbon CreditsSustainable Developmentunder the United NationsFramework Conventionon Climate Change thewelcome paradigm shiftsin the approach to the jutesector.

The effort by ShRoul is a timely one onthe eve of the observanceof 2009 as International Year for Natural Fibres by theUnited Nations. The book is quite comprehensive with itsfocus on a wide range of issues pertaining to the jute agri-commodity system addressed against a historical backgroundand from macro-economic analytical perspective. Thevolume offers stimulating reading for those interested in thedynamics of agricultural commodity systems like jute andallied fibres. The book is expected to help sensitise nationalgovernments, international organizations andnongovernmental organizations towards the eco-sustainability of jute as a natural fibre. The book can serveas an excellent reference book for post-graduate students ineconomics, jute and textiles management, developmentstudies, regional development and agriculture and agro-marketing.

Latin American Narrative of theLatter Half of the Twentieth Century:

Beyond the “Boom”Indrani Mukherjee

This collection of unpublished conference papers and/orclassroom lectures explores very contemporary texts of Latin



American writers keeping in mind boththe scholarly as well as the generalreader. It includes some veryrespectable writers like Gabriel GarciaMarquez, Roberto Bolaño andEduardo Galeano for example, but alsolesser known ones in India like DanielCastro, Carlos Montemayor or CristinaPeri Rossi among many others. Thiswould be the first book of its kind tobe published from India and purports

to introduce the texts of the above mentioned writers toIndians who can now easily buy books in English translationon-line. Many of the problems raised in this book continueto be very “third-worldly” and very comparable to someIndian situations. The aim of this book is not to respond asa knowledge “packaged” for passive consumption. It israther a point of departure for engaging with them fromwithin historic and academic grids in a near future.

Japanese Studies:Changing Global Profile

P.A. George

Japanese Studies, including Japanese language education,has shown unprecedented growth throughout the worldduring the last five or six decades. In developed countries,Japan is studied as a whole, laying emphasis on all aspectsof Japanese Studies, and not just the language alone. Atthe same time, in many of the Western countries whereJapanese Studies used to be at the helm of academic

activities for decades, the disciplinebegan to decline due to reasons suchas the lack of interest in traditionalsubjects that come under thenomenclature of Japanese Studies, theoverwhelming interest shown bystudents and researchers in the field ofChinese Studies following the rise ofChina as an economic super power,inadequate state support and funding,and so on. On the contrary, the Asian

countries have seen a rise in the demand for JapaneseStudies.

Love Ever GivesSubhas Chandra Ghose

This is my poetic debut breaking away from a continuum ofwriting research-based books, articles and ‘papers inresponse to my career-oriented imperatives and aspirations.

Now that I am detached from ateaching institution like a college oruniversity where I spent 35-odd years inmy capacity as a teacher and a researcherin a social science, I am now free to delvedeep in my areas of literary interestswhich were integral to my nature from myearly student days but under certaincompulsions I couldn’t pursue it. Now Iseem to have come full circle.

This book of poetry mayinaugurate the launch of a new literary drive to be followedby other literary genres including fictions and novels inpursuit of my long-bridled literary passion.

The present book of poetry is comprised of a total oftwenty-five poems of different tastes and lengths somecontained in a single page while others expand over pagesup to seven to eight.

The included poems have been dichoto-mized into twosegments Romantic and Realistic.

Romantic poems are love-centric conceived andcomposed in the prime of my life while the Realistic poemsare reality-centric composed in the later part of my lifeengrossed in combating the harsh realities.

Love, admittedly, informs and inspires all the poemswhether in the first part or in the second but the nature oflove in the first part is different from that of the second.Love in the first part may be characterized as quixotic.

The term ‘love’ is generic. It is the core of all creativeactions. One can’t do anything positive without love for it.One must love a thing to do it admirably. This love haspropelled me to conceive and compose this book of poetry.Hence the title Love Ever Gives.

Dr Ambedkar’sApproach to Buddhism

B.L. Mungekar

This book, probably for the first time, considers how DrAmbedkar’s historic conversion to Buddhism in 1956, inNagpur, with lacs of his followers, was a step towardscarrying out a socio-cultural and democratic revolution in

India.Dr Ambedkar held that a religious

or cultural revolution always precedesa political revolution. According to theauthor, India’s resolution to establisha new social order based on theprinciples of Liberty, Equality,Fraternity and Justice as enshrined inher constitution, is a peacefuldemocratic revolution.

Viewed in this context, the authorargues that, by bringing back

Buddhism to its place of origin, Dr Ambedkar sought toprovide the cultural foundation to India’s post-Indepenendence socio political revolution.

The first Hindu Mission toAMERICA

Sunit Mullick

• This book positions BrahmoSamaj leader Protap ChunderMozoomdar as the originator ofthe Hindu mission movement tothe United States of America in thelate 19th century. It is known thatProtap Mozoomdar, together withSwami Vivekananda, representedHinduism at the Parliament ofReligions at Chicago in 1893. Butwhat has missed the focus ofscholars is that Mozoomdar visited the United States tenyears earlier in 1883, making him the pioneer of the Hindumission movement to the United States.

• The book is the first detailed study of Protap ChunderMozoomdar in America.

• It is written through primary research on Americannewspapers, periodicals, manuscripts, diaries andarchival material available in American libraries, andmaterial in possession of the author.

• On the whole, the book presents new information of interestto both the general reader and the scholarly community.
