City Requiem, Calcutta

Gender and the Politics of Poverty

By: Ananya Roy

Housing developments emerge amid the paddy fields on the fringes of Calcutta; overflowing trains carry peasant women to informal urban labor markets in a daily commute against hunger; land is settled and claimed in a complex choreography of squatting and evictions: such, Ananya Roy contends, are the distinctive spaces of a communism for the new millennium -- where, at a moment of liberalization, the hegemony of poverty is quietly reproduced. An ethnography of urban development in Calcutta, Roy's book explores the dynamics of class and gender in the persistence of poverty. City Requiem, Calcutta emphasizes how gender itself is spatialized, and how gender relations are negotiated within the geopolitics of modernity and through the everyday practices of territory. Thus Roy shows how urban developmentalism, in its populist guise, reproduces the relations of masculinist patronage, and, in its entrepreneurial guise, seeks to reclaim a bourgeois Calcutta, gentlemanly in its nostalgias. In doing so, her work expands the field of poverty studies by showing how a politics of poverty is also a poverty of knowledge, a construction and management of social and spatial categories.

Righteous Republic

The Political Foundations of Modern India

By: Ananya Vajpeyi

What India’s founders derived from Western political traditions is widely understood. Less well-known is how India’s own rich knowledge traditions of 2,500 years influenced these men. Vajpeyi furnishes this missing account, showing how five founders turned to classical texts to fashion an original sense of Indian selfhood.

Encountering Poverty

Thinking and Acting in an Unequal World

By: Ananya Roy,Genevieve Negr—n-Gonzales,Kweku Opoku-Agyemang,Clare Talwalker

Encountering Poverty disrupts the new optimism about poverty action, challenging mainstream frameworks of global poverty. Going beyond poverty as a problem that can be solved through economic resources or technological interventions, the book focuses on the power and privilege underpinning persistent impoverishment. It explores poverty action's place in the opportunities and limits of the current moment, with its rapacious market forces and resurgent social and civil rights movements. Encountering Poverty invites students, educators, activists, and development professionals to think and act against inequality by foregrounding, not sidestepping, the long history of development and the ethical dilemmas of poverty action today."--Provided by publisher.

Math and Architectures of Deep Learning

By: Krishnendu Chaudhury

Math and Architectures of Deep Learning bridges the gap between theory and practice, laying out the math of deep learning side by side with practical implementations in Python and PyTorch. You'll peer inside the "black box" to understand how your code is working, and learn to comprehend cutting-edge research you can turn into practical applications. Math and Architectures of Deep Learning sets out the foundations of DL usefully and accessibly to working practitioners. Each chapter explores a new fundamental DL concept or architectural pattern, explaining the underpinning mathematics and demonstrating how they work in practice with well-annotated Python code. You'll start with a primer of basic algebra, calculus, and statistics, working your way up to state-of-the-art DL paradigms taken from the latest research. Learning mathematical foundations and neural network architecture can be challenging, but the payoff is big. You'll be free from blind reliance on pre-packaged DL models and able to build, customize, and re-architect for your specific needs. And when things go wrong, you'll be glad you can quickly identify and fix problems.

The Indian Economy

Issues, Policies and Performance

By: Rajib Bhattacharyya,Ananya Ghosh Dastidar

This book provides a detailed structured analysis of the transition that has taken place in the Indian economy since independence to the present times (including the period of COVID-19 pandemic). Analysing objectives, achievements and failure of planning, the book discusses the crisis in the late 1980s, followed by economic reforms – structural changes and stabilization policies implemented along with regional variation on the development pattern across states. The book also examines policies of distribution, poverty, inequality, and unemployment, reform measures in major sectors, namely, banking or financial sector in general, tax or fiscal policy, external or trade and exchange rate policy. This volume will be useful for students, researchers and faculty working in the field of economics, development studies, political science and public administration. The book will also be an invaluable companion to policymakers looking for a thorough and compact view of the transition in the Indian economic situation and the resulting policy changes which took place since India’s independence.

Perspectives on the Indian Corporate Economy

Exploring the Paradox of Profits

By: Ananya Mukherjee Reed

Central to the dynamics of India's post-interventionist era has been the performance of its corporate sector. A lot of hope has been placed on its ability to deliver increased growth rates and levels of 'development'. In the light of this view, the author here examines critically the nature of the Indian corporate sector as a specific socio-historical and political-economic formation. Particular emphasis is placed on the nature of corporate profitability in India, its historical roots and its effects on development.

Islam and Egalitarianism in Colonial Bengal

The Making of a Moral Community

By: Ananya Dasgupta

This book is a historical exploration of the social and cultural processes that led to the rise of the ideology of labor as a touchstone of Bengali Muslim politics in late colonial India. The book argues that the tremendous popularity of the Pakistan movement in Bengal is to be understood not just in terms of "communalization" of class politics, or even "separatist" demands of a religious minority living out anxieties of Hindu political majoritarianism, but in terms of a distinctively modern idea of Muslim self and culture which gave primacy to production/labor as the site where religious, moral, ethical, as well as economic value would be anchored. In telling the story of the formation of a modern Muslim identity, the book presents the conceptual congruence between Islam and egalitarianism as a distinctively early twentieth-century phenomenon, and the approach can be viewed as key to explaining the mass appeal of the desire for Pakistan. A novel contribution to the study of Bengal and Pakistan’s origins, the book will be of interest to researchers studying South Asian history, the history of colonialism and end of empire, South Asian studies, including labor studies, Islamic Studies, and Muslim social and cultural history.

The contribution of behavioural science to addressing the social and wider determinants of health

evidence review

By: Michael P KELLY,Ananya ARORA,Anjuli BANERJEE,Jack M BIRCH,Nnenna EKEKE,Isla KUHN,Carol BRAYNE,John FORD,Maria Raisa Jessica AQUINO,Beth CAPPER

This report describes the differences and similarities between two approaches to health equity and inequalities. These approaches are individually oriented behaviour change and the social or wider determinants of health. The report is based on a review of reviews of the behavioural intervention and wider determinants literatures, and a narrative review of other relevant materials. The report makes the case for the scientific consilience between the differing approaches. This report is part of a suite of publications and tools designed to support Member States and public health practitioners to use behavioural science in their work.

Kitty Party Sanyasins

By: Ananya Banerjee

We'll meet on the last Saturday of every month, whenever our schedules permit. Just the five of us. Brunch. Either at our houses or breakfast joints or our clubs. Catch up on our lives. Meditate together a bit. Tell each other feel-good stories. How does that sound?' Sounds perfect--but the outcome can be unforeseen. A much-honoured dancing diva meditates herself into a passionate love affair with the thirty-year-old son of her best friend. The mighty Garuda has to fly down from the legends to impart sense to some troubled teens. A Zen disciple runs frenziedly through the forest with a woman inside his head while a son listens in shock as his mother reveals babyhood trauma of molestation, and sage Durbasha steps out of the Mahabharat to give Ginny, the Crystal Nova ashramite from Los Angeles, a curse within a blessing. Through this crowd wanders Alison Jordan, the Indophile with golden hair and green eyes. She is an excellent raconteur, has a penchant for quality tea and is on a Himalayan quest for salvation and a path to reach out to a frozen Ice King, who has collected thousands of keys but has lost all the locks. Join the Kitty Party Sanyasins on their quest for a happier life. A charming first novel that will make you both laugh and cry as it uses ancient stories to tell new ones.
