Living with Epidemics in Colonial Bengal

By: Arabinda Samanta

Making epidemics in colonial Bengal as its entry point and drawing heavily on social, cultural and linguistic anthropology to understand the functions of health experiences, distribution of illness, prevention of sickness, social relations of therapeutic intervention and employment of pluralistic medical systems, the book interrogates the social construction of medical knowledge, politics of science, and the changing paradigm of relationship between health of the individual and the prerogatives of larger colonial economic formations. Smallpox, plague, cholera and malaria which visited colonial Bengal with epidemic vengeance, caught the people unaware, killed them in thousands, and changed the society and its demographic structures. The book shows how sometimes through mutual adaptation but more often by cultural contestation, people pulled on with their microbial fellow travellers, and how illness became metaphor for the social dangers of improper code of conduct, to be corrected only through personal expropriation of the sin committed, or by community worship of the deity supposedly responsible for it. As a result, Western medical science was often relegated to the background, and elaborate rites and rituals, supposedly having curative values, came to the forefront and were observed with much community fanfare. Epidemics were also interpreted as outcome of politically incorrect moves made by the ruling power. To right the wrongs, people very often resorted to social protest. The protest by the literati went sometimes muted when its members seem to be beneficiaries of the colonial government, but it turned out to be all the more violent when the people, who had no private axe to grind, took up the cudgel to fight it out.

Targeting Terrorist Financing

International Cooperation and New Regimes

By: Arabinda Acharya

This book examines the dynamics of terrorist financing, including a discussion about the importance of money from both the terrorist and the counter-terrorist perspective. Targeting Terrorist Financing argues that it is not the institutions that have failed the war on terrorist financing; rather it is the states that have failed the institutions. The measures contemplated by the world community to interdict terrorists and their financial infrastructures are sufficient to debilitate the terrorists both militarily and financially. However, what has been increasingly lacking is political will among the states, and this has overwhelmed the spirit of cooperation in this very critical front against terrorism. This volume assesses the need for international cooperation and the role of institutions and regimes in targeting terrorist financing. After the 9/11 attacks, there was an expression of global willingness to target terrorism generally, and terrorist financing in particular. The institutional mechanisms that grew out of this are explored in detail here, with a critical examination of the progress made by the international community. The impact of these measures is considered with respect to changes in the nature of the terrorist threat, money confiscated, adoption of international conventions, and global standards by states, and levels of compliance, among others. This book will be of great interest to students of terrorism, international organisations, international security, and IR in general. Arabinda Acharya is Research Fellow, Manager of Strategic Projects and Head of the Terrorist Financing Response Project at the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research in the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Ten Years After 9/11

Rethinking the Jihadist Threat

By: Arabinda Acharya

Ten years after the 9/11 attacks this book reassesses the effectiveness of the "War on Terror", considers how al-Qaeda and other jihadist movements are faring, explores the impact of wider developments in the Islamic world such as the Arab Spring, and discusses whether all this suggests that a new approach to containing international, especially jihadist, terrorism is needed. Among the book’s many richly argued conclusions are that the "War on Terror" and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq have brutalised the United States; that the jihadist threat is not one, but rather a wide range of separate, unconnected struggles; and that al-Qaeda’s ideology contains the seeds of its own destruction, in that although many Muslims are content to see the United States worsted, they do not approve of al-Qaeda’s violence and are not taken in by the jihadists’ empty promises of utopia.

The Tennis Player : A Dream Unfulfilled

By: Dr. Arabinda Dutta

About the Book: The whole universe is full of wonders filled with innumerable unexplained facts and truths. The present book is about an enthusiastic young man with handsome looks, the son of a high court senior judge who wanted to be in the world's top position in the field of Lawn Tennis. He was a right fit for the sport and proceeded forward on the path he had decided, filled with enthusiasm. But his aim was disturbed and diverted by a few members of his family. He lived in a joint family comprising of five brothers, two sisters and also the family of his two uncles. While being a research student at the university, he also gained skills in Lawn Tennis game. Unfortunately, he was mildly dragged in the world of open sex games by his two sisters. Slowly, he fell off the grid and felt disgusted. He could not rebuke his lovely sisters as he loved them too much. One day, he decides to get rid of this undesirable and unwanted feeling by taking his life; he chooses to ingest KCN, a deadly poisonous chemical. This is the tragic story of a rising tennis star who committed suicide. About the Author: The author, Arabinda Dutta hails from a middle-class family. His father was a medium-rank serviceman in Ordnance Factory, Katni. He spent his childhood in Katni; and after passing matriculation, Arabinda joined Government Science College where he graduated in Chemistry with a Masters degree in the merit category. Immediately after, he pursued research with a scholarship at CSIR and proceeded to get a Doctorate after three years. After that, he was lucky enough to get a scholarship to Princeton State University, USA. However, Arabinda's father insisted that he marries before going to the USA to which the author did not agree, thereby sabotaging his future at Princeton. Later, Arabinda joined Bihar Alloys Steel Limited and retired from there as Head of the Quality Control Department. Presently, he keeps himself engaged by writing books and sharing his knowledge. Arabinda, like the protagonist of the story, is a simple boy with average looks but very passionate about Lawn Tennis and Football. He also could not flourish in his sports interests as he remained focused on his research career.

Koro

Clinical and Historical Developments of the Culturally Defined Genital Retraction Disorder

By: Arabinda Narayan Chowdhury

This book provides a definitive account of koro, a topic of long-standing interest in the field of cultural psychiatry in which the patient displays a fear of the genitals shrinking and retracting. Written by Professor A.N. Chowdhury, a leading expert in the field, it provides a comprehensive overview of the cultural, historical and clinical significance of the condition that includes both cutting-edge critique and an analysis of research and accounts from the previous 120 years published literature. The book begins by outlining the definition, etymology of the term, and clinical features of koro as a culture-bound syndrome, and contextualizes the concept with reference to its historical origins and local experience in Southeast Asia, and its subsequent widespread occurrence in South Asia. It also critically examines the concept of culture-bound disorder and the development of the terminology, such as cultural concepts of distress, which is the term that is currently used in the DSM-5. Subsequent chapters elaborate the cultural context of koro in Chinese and South Asian cultures, including cultural symbolic analysis of associations with animals (fox and turtle) and phallic imagery based on troubling self-perceived aspects of body image that is central to the concept. The second section of the book offers a comprehensive, global literature review, before addressing the current status and relevance of koro, clinically relevant questions of risk assessment and forensic issues, and research methodology. This landmark work will provide a unique resource for clinicians and researchers working in cultural psychiatry, cultural psychology, anthropology, medical sociology, social work and psychosexual medicine.

Whither Southeast Asia Terrorism?

By: Arabinda Acharya

More than 11 years after the 9/11 attacks and 10 years after the October 2002 Bali bombings, the need for a comprehensive assessment of what the countries in Southeast Asia have achieved is overdue. We need to consider whether the strategies against both the domestic and transnational terrorist and extremist threat have been appropriate and have yielded desired results. The aim of this book is to make a comprehensive assessment of the threats of terrorism and extremism in the region and of the policies and practices adopted by the regional countries to counter the same. It is also necessary to evaluate if the region has become a safer place after the decade-long fight. Most importantly, it is time to ask if we need a rethink or develop a new strategy to contain and manage the threats of terrorism and extremism.

By: SARANGI, ARABINDA ,SARANGI, BIDYAPATI

With a boom in the steel industry all over the world today, the demand of sponge iron has considerably increased as a feed (raw) material to steel making.

Contesting Colonial Authority

Medicine and Indigenous Responses in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century India

By: Poonam Bala

Poonam Bala’s Contesting Colonial Authority explores the interplay of conformity and defiance amongst the plural medical tradition in colonial India. The contributors reveal how Indian elites, nationalists, and the rest of the Indian population participated in the move to revisit and frame a new social character of Indian Medicine. Viewed in the light of the cultural, nationalistic, social, literary and scientific essentials, Contesting Colonial Authority highlights various indigenous interpretations and mechanisms through which Indian sciences and medicine were projected against the cultural background of a rich medical tradition.
