In the same way that Iliad represents the national epic of ancient Greece the Mahabharata is the heroic tale of ancient India. Written by the sage Vyasa in Sanskrit and completed between 500 BCE and AD 200 the Mahabharata contains over 88 000 verses and tells of a great dynastic war fought on the plains of India more than three millennia ago. Gandharva Raja introduces modern readers to this centuries old epic in new verse form while preserving the classic text's central theme and storyline. With an ambitious poetic reengineering he artfully uses the triplet lyrical structure varying the rhyme and rhythm in an attempt to link the past to the prevailing literary taste of today. Though not a translation and substantially reduced in length Epic Mahabharata maintains the inner core of the original tale delivering a timeless tribute to ancient India. 171 pp.…

Paperback. Zustand: As New. Reprint. For the first time Dalits are writing about their lives themselves. They have long been written about by others by anthropologists historians and novelists. In fighting against the gross and tremendous injustice that has been their heritage for centuries Dalit writers give voice to their aspirations for achieving equality. Translated into English for the first time from the original Hindi Omprakash Valmiki's autobiography talks of growing up in a village near Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh in an untouchable caste Chuhra well before the defiant term Dalit was coined. As he states bleakly Dalit life is excruciatingly painful charred by experiences only he or she who has suffered this anguish knows its sting. Joothan refers to the scraps left on plates that are then given to Dalits to eat. In some ways it is a symbol of the demeaning existence imposed on the Dalits. Valmiki's story is one of terrible grief and oppression of survival and achievement of his emergence as a freer human being in a society that remains compassionless towards Dalits. 134 pp.…

From the introduction Among the four National Parks in the State of Maharashtra Sanjay Gandhi National Park (originally known as Borivali National Park) is an attractively preserved green oasis within the confine of Mumbai (Bombay) metropolis. The park exhibits an amazing diversity of terrain from 30 m above sea level to almost 500 m and displays coastal dry and mixed deciduous and typical Western Ghat plateau habitats. It boasts of two big lakes (Tulsi and Vihar) and a number of 2000 years old Buddhist caves popularly known as Kanheri caves. Due to its proximity to Mumbai city a lot of people visit study and write about this park. In this booklet an attempt has been made to provide a concise general information about the commonly known vertebrate and some of the invertebrate species for the benefit of visitors. Sanjay Gandhi National Park (preciously known as Krishnagiri Upawan and later as Borivali National Park) is situated about 25 km North of Mumbai city and is only 8 km from the shores of the Arabian Sea. It lies between 72o53 & 72o50 East longitude and 19o88 & 19o21 North latitude. The southern boundary of the park is formed by the shore of Vihar lake the eastern by the townships of Bhandup Mulund and Thane and the Western by Goregaon Malad Kandivli and Borivali suburbs of Mumbai. The Northern boundary extends beyond Bassein creek and includes the Nagla forest block. The park covers an area of 96.40 sq. kms. out of which the recreational sector alone takes up 5.06 sq. kms. area. The park terrain is semi mountainous the level ground being between Tulsi and Vihar lakes the lower westerly reaches of Krishnagiri Upawan and the Northern end of Chenna forest. These hills are regarded as the outer spurs of the Sahyadris (Western Ghats). The major sources of water in the park are Tulsi Vihar lakes and Dahisar Rewat nallas. Tulsi and Vihar have a combined water spread area of about 8.62 sq. kms. and are source of drinking water supply to Mumbai city.

In the 1960s and 70s a diverse group of political and cultural movements which included women's right to control her reproductive power the politicization of domestic violence via state intervention the incorporation of special job allocation for women the establishment of welfare policies by the liberal state for single mothers and other related rights came under the umbrella phrase Second Wave Feminism. While there remained substantial differences within the politics of feminism at this time one central theme running in the movement was that the personal is the political. This theme remains the slogan for feminist politics round the world today. A pedestrian account of Feminism will tell us that it is all about empowering women an inquiry into the history of feminism and feminist theory with tell us that it is about revolutionizing human relationships. That is why all power relationships and inequalities whether they stem from patriarchy the culture the feudal state the ideological state apparatus the global free market or the social arrangement of compulsory hetero sexuality are feminist concern. In the end feminism and feminist theory remains a revolutionary movement in praxis and theory. 162 pp.…

From the Preface During the last few decades lakes allover the world have become the focus of environmental investigations. The increased human activities including excessive dumping of organic as well as non biodegradable wastes have brought about drastic changes in lake environment in India and especially Calcutta now Kolkata. The urban lakes in Calcutta are in fact predominantly plagued with problems pertaining to poor water quality prolific growth of weeds and loss of bio eco aesthetic values. Keeping in view of these threats to Rabindra Sarovar (RS) Government of India has declared this lake as a National Lake under the National Lake Conservation programme (NLCP). The basic objectives of such a designation to RS are to improve its environment along with prevention of pollution catchment area treatment desilting deweeding as well as research and development studies on floral and faunal activities and related ecological aspects. So as a part of the NLCP present investigations were undertaken on two major urban lake environments viz. Rabindra Sarovar and Subhas Sarovar which are located in the heart of the city Calcutta. A comprehensive study of physico chemical characteristics of water and sediment and benthic fauna was undertaken in the present research to cover a multitude of impairments of the aquatic system like presence of nutrient salts and estimation of benthic condition. Herein the physico chemical status of the lake ecosystem is described covering a wide spectrum of parameters while the study on the benthic fauna emphasized their importance as an effective tool for supplementing the physico chemical information on the lakes. Various biological indices were calculated to reflect the overall condition of the aquatic system by a single index value. On the other hand statistical analyses were done to elaborate the inter relationships between the selected abiotic factors and benthic components of the lake so that the available information may clearly and convincingly demonstrate the health of these two lakes. 120 pp.…

The Freud Jones debate on the feminine castration complex I. Melanie Klein early stages of the oedipal conflict. II. Helen Deutsch. III. Karen Horney. 4. Feminine sexuality Part II Deconstructing Phallocentric sexuality. Partial references. Since the publication of Freud essays Femininity and Feminine Sexuality there has been an interest hitherto unknown in the psycho analytic community a question about the feminine subjectivity self and sexuality. According to Freud the foundation of gendered identity is the castration complex. Since the publication of the above essays the question that raged in the psycho analytic community is this if the fear of castration leads one to adopt a gendered identity then how can a woman ever develop her identity as a woman she does not have a Phallus to be castrated. While the first part of the book deals with this issue and problem of explaining the feminine identity via the theory of castration complex the second part is a response to this Freudian notion of castration complex as the bedrock of gendered identities. Feminists like Luce Irigary and Julia Kristeva have shown that Freud's theory of castration complex cannot be used to explain gendered identities because it is entirely based on the idea that the Phallus is the only sex organ. The book deconstructs this Phallo centric idea and shows that the Phallus is a fetish and really does not hold any true power in society except what we give it culturally. The positive point in this theory is that if women's oppression is cultural and not natural then the current situation can be changed via social revolution. Ultimately a book on famine sexuality encompasses all genders and aim at surpassing the oppression of everyone's desire. 186 pp. …

The gender of politics. 5. Gender kinship and practice. Conclusion. References. Index. The book relates the study of the political domain to that of cultural practices and considers how translocal discourses facilitate local dialogue. Tenhunen argues that the gendered understanding of politics not only limits women's political participation but also enables and shapes women's political action and critical discourses because the local concept of politics does not exclude home kinship and the women's domain. She suggests that the notions of modernity and development are not applied in local disputes because of their universality or the supremacy of the western model of modernization but because these through their local interpretations offer concepts through which the taken for granted practices can be discussed and questioned which in turn become means of awakening of turning women's personal experiences into questions of social change. 174 pp.…
