The RTI Story: Power to the People

By: Aruna Roy,MKSS Collection

Aruna Roy resigned from the IAS in 1975 to work with peasants and workers in rural Rajasthan. In 1990 she helped co-found the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS). The MKSS struggles in the mid 90s for wages and other rights gave birth to the now celebrated Right to Information movement. Aruna continues to be a part of many democratic struggles and campaigns. This book is a collective history that tells the story of how ordinary people can come together and prevail against great odds, to make democracy more meaningful.

Nitish Kumar and the Rise of Bihar

Nitish Kumar and the Rise of Bihar

By: Aruna Sinha

The conventional wisdom in Bihar’s political circles was that development did not win votes. Nitish Kumar challenged that assumption and changed the face of the state. Born into a humble family in Bakhtiyarpur; Nitish joined the Lohiaite Socialist Party and built his constituency; literally day by day; forgoing a stable job to travel to distant villages; suffering both financial hardship and ridicule for the eight years it took him to win people’s confidence. Veteran journalist Arun Sinha tells the story of Nitish Kumar’s rise against the larger canvas of social and political upheaval in Bihar; exploring the emergent desire for equality that drove progressive movements from late 1960s onwards and brought about a regime change by the 1990s. After an initial association with Lalu Prasad Yadav; Nitish Kumar rejected identity politics; recognizing that Bihar had to transcend caste if it was to grow. Nitish Kumar and the Rise of Bihar is a clear-sighted study of Indian electoral politics that unfolds with the pace of a political drama; offering hard facts and an incisive analysis of the state’s turbulent trajectory. Sinha steers the narrative deftly through the complex groupings of Bihar’s political arena to reveal Nitish Kumar’s acumen in bringing law and order; roads; education and health to the fore of governance. From feudal politics to caste identities; and finally to development—Bihar could prove to be the model for India’s post-Independence journey.

APPLIED BIOLOGY OF WOODY PLANTS

By: Ratikanta Maiti,Humberto González Rodríguez,Ch. Aruna Kumari

Woody plants occupy dominant vegetation in forest ecosystem. They play an important role in reducing carbon load from the atmosphere and store them as biomass and carbon as sources of energy. Forest trees are sources of timbers, various domestic uses, medicinal purposes, forest products, and sources of animal nutrition. At this juncture, there is a great necessity to save forest trees for life security and effective management and maintain an ecobalance to save earth from the clutch of pollution. To fulfill these objectives, a clear understanding of the biology of trees and its applications is an essential prerequisite for effective management and its application. No such book is available to undergraduate and graduate students and teachers. It discusses experimental biology to study the various aspects of tree biology from a practical stand point guide. This deals with general concepts of plant, soil and environments, the vegetation and biodiversity, morpho-anatomical and ecophysiological traits phenological events and plasticity, branching pattern and branching density functioning as solar panel for capture of solar radiation for productivity, diversity of leaves morphological and biochemical traits such as pigments, epicuticular wax, leaf macronutrients necessary for the growth and development and animal nutrition, wood anatomical traits related to timber quality and utility. A special emphasis has been given in the selection of tree species with high ecophysiological traits. The book deals with advances in research and includes our original research results.

The Inheritors

The Inheritors

By: Aruna Chakravarti

From the ritual-bound household of an orthodox scholar in a small village in Bengal in 1897 to Germany and Mumbai at the turn of the new millennium, The Inheritors follows the shifting life patterns of a family through a melange of narratives, memories and characters. The unrelenting puritanism of Nyayaratna Bishnupada Deb sharma drives his daughter Radharani to insanity and throws into sharp relief his grandson Shibkali’s feeble attempt to break free. Giribala voices her resentment against her circumstances through a lifetime of silence, her destiny finding an echo in her daughter. Alo, tragic victim of her husband’s sexual perversions. And Pramatha’s depraved radicalism is set against Shashishekhar’s progressive outlook which symbolizes the most significant departure from the stifling constraints of his community. Even as it inherits the deadwood of the past, each generation strives to liberate itself, setting the stage for the eternal conflict between tradition and change, between a legacy and its inheritors. Aruna Chakravarti draws upon history and myth, religion and folklore, rituals and culinary practices to create a vivid portrait of a community of Vaidic Kulin Brahmins. The narrative, oscillating back and forth in time, weaves a vibrant tapestry of life – differing ideologies and sensibilities, suicides and desertions, marriages and infidelities, bigotry and liberalism – independence and a society caught on the cusp of conservatism and modernity.

Chemistry Of Nanocrystalline Oxide Materials: Combustion Synthesis, Properties And Applications

By: Manjanath Subraya Hedge,S T Aruna,Tanu Rattan,Kashinath C Patil

Nano-oxide materials lend themselves to applications in a wide variety of emerging technological fields such as microelectronics, catalysts, ceramics, coatings, and energy storage. However, developing new routes for making nano-based materials is a challenging area for solid-state materials chemists. This book does just that by describing a novel method for preparing them. The authors have developed a novel low-temperature, self-propagating synthetic route to nano-oxides by the solution combustion and combustible precursor processes. This method provides the desired composition, structure, and properties for many types of technologically useful nanocrystalline oxide materials like alumina, ceria, iron oxides, titania, yttria, and zirconia, among others.The book is particularly instructive in bringing readers one step closer to the exploration of nanomaterials. Students of nanoscience can acquaint themselves with the actual production and evaluation of nanopowders by this route, while academic researchers and industrial scientists will find answers to a host of questions on nano-oxides. The book also provides an impetus for scientists in industrial research to evaluate and explore new ways to scale up the production of nanomaterials, offering helpful suggestions for further research.

A Call to “God”

Music Therapy for Evolution

By: Dr R Aruna Sri

Wish to touch the realms where Science meets Spirituality? Travelling through the world of mystic sounds, mantras and ragas, one can evolve towards higher planes of consciousness. Appreciating the relation between swaras, ragas, emotions and chakras will help one explore new territories of music therapy. A Call to “GOD” introduces Swara SamYoga and guides you to experience oneness with the Supreme through music therapy. An extract of veteran playback singer Vani Jairam’s exclusive foreword No monumental task gets done on this planet without divine intervention. In Dr. Aruna’s case, this great spiritual guidance came in the form of Puttaparthi Baba’s divine blessings right from the beginning. She has gone deep into the subject explaining things correctly and convincingly, at the same time alerting readers about half-baked and self-proclaimed pundits on the subject. Again I quote, “The 3Cs of life are commitment, contribution and competition. Let our lifetime decisions be made based on commitment and contribution. Let’s compete to achieve excellence not better than others but be better selves than yesterday.” The reasons she has explained as to why this therapy may not be that effective in the case of musicians can very well be understood. Whenever I am unable to sleep, I try listening to some good music which is so soothing but instead of enjoying the music, a musician’s mind always wanders thinking of the prayogas performed by the musician. It has happened to me so many times. I am sure Dr. Aruna’s untiring efforts in bringing out such a rewarding, analytical, informative book will prove to be a real treasure benefitting one and all, not only musicians, scholars, doctors and patients.
