These Seats Are Reserved

Caste, Quotas and the Constitution of India

By: Abhinav Chandrachud

Reservation or affirmative action is a hugely controversial policy in India. While constitutionally mandated and with historians, political scientists and social activists convinced of its need, many resist it and consider it as compromising 'merit' and against the principle of equality of opportunity. In These Seats Are Reserved, Abhinav traces the history and making of the reservation policy. How were groups eligible for reservations identified and defined? How were the terms 'depressed classes' and 'backward classes' used in British India and how have they evolved into the constitutional concepts of 'Scheduled Castes', 'Scheduled Tribes', and 'Other Backward Classes' in the present day? The book delves into the intellectual debates that took place on this matter in the Constituent Assembly, the Supreme Court and Parliament. Several contentious issues are examined dispassionately: are reservations an exception to the principle of equality of opportunity? Do quotas in government service undermine efficiency? Can 'merit' really be defined neutrally? What is the thinking behind the rule that no more than 50 per cent of the available seats or positions can be reserved? Deeply researched and ably narrated, this volume is a compelling addition to every thinking individual's library.

In the Valley of Historical Time

Towards the History of the Working Class Movement in Delhi

By: Abhinav Sinha

The descent of working class movements that began with neoliberal globalization is nearing completion. However, the ascent is yet to begin. This period is witnessing novel forms of organization and resistance. For students, activists and academics, it is imperative to understand changes in the modus operandi of capital since the 1970s to explain the crisis of conventional trade unionism, as well as the spontaneous outbursts of creativity in movements of informal workers in recent times. Delhi has been a centre of such innovative experiments. In the Valley of Historical Time attempts to understand these new forms and strategies and possibilities of resurgence of working class movements.

An Independent, Colonial Judiciary

A History of the Bombay High Court during the British Raj, 1862–1947

By: Abhinav Chandrachud

In 2012, the Bombay High Court celebrated the 150th year of its existence. As one of three high courts first set up in colonial India in 1862, it functioned as a court of original and appellate jurisdiction during the British Raj for over 80 years, occupying the topmost rung of the judicial hierarchy in the all-important Bombay Presidency. Yet, remarkably little is known of how the court functioned during the colonial era. The historiography of the court is quite literally anecdotal. The most well known books written on the history of the court focus on humorous (at times, possibly apocryphal) stories about 'eminent' judges and 'great' lawyers, bordering on hagiography. Examining the backgrounds and lives of the 83 judges-Britons and Indians-who served on the Bombay High Court during the colonial era, and by exploring the court's colonial past, this book attempts to understand why British colonial institutions like the Bombay High Court flourished even after India became independent. In the process, this book will attempt to unravel complex changes which took place in Indian society, the legal profession, the law, and the legal culture during the colonial era.

Swarm Intelligence

Foundation, Principles, and Engineering Applications

By: Abhishek Sharma,Abhinav Sharma,Jitendra Kumar Pandey,Mangey Ram

Swarm intelligence is one of the fastest growing subfields of artificial intelligence and soft computing. This field includes multiple optimization algorithms to solve NP-hard problems for which conventional methods are not effective. It inspires researchers in engineering sciences to learn theories from nature and incorporate them. Swarm Intelligence: Foundation, Principles, and Engineering Applications provides a comprehensive review of new swarm intelligence techniques and offers practical implementation of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with MATLAB code. The book discusses the statistical analysis of swarm optimization techniques so that researchers can analyse their experiment design. It also includes algorithms in social sectors, oil and gas industries, and recent research findings of new optimization algorithms in the field of engineering describing the implementation in machine learning. This book is written for students of engineering, research scientists, and academicians involved in the engineering sciences.

Terror Financing in Kashmir

By: Abhinav Pandya

This book analyses the layered and complex web of terror financing in Kashmir. It examines the role of multiple actors — including formal and informal, state and non-state, profit and non-profit, and local and international — to delineate the various strands of an intricate financial system. It shows how, over time, these sophisticated networks have largely remained elusive to Indian counter-terrorism agencies and the need for a specialised and focused effort to understand it. Drawing on interviews with confidential sources within terror networks, as well as inputs and intel from security agencies on the ground, the author lays the groundwork for a robust counter-terrorism strategy in Kashmir. This book will be a must read for professionals and researchers in security studies, military and strategic studies, politics and international relations, and South Asian studies.
