Fifty Year Road: A Personal History of India from the Mid-sixties Onward

Fifty Year Road: A Personal History of India from the Mid-sixties Onward

By: Bhaskar Roy

An everyman flair makes history most authentic and intensely gripping. Nothing captures more gnawingly the acute scarcity in the wake of two successive wars—with China in 1962 and Pakistan in 1965—than the lengthening lines outside ration shops. Fifty Year Road is Bhaskar Roy’s look-back moment, but more crucially, it’s the less-focused account of India that often gets overlooked by historiographers. The Naxalbari uprising, in perspective, was the first and fiercest far-left challenge to the Indian state, born out of deep disillusion of the republic’s first generation with the robust dream come crashing. Each of the subsequent upheavals has had untold sides too: the Bangladesh Liberation War, the 1974 rail strike, the Emergency, Indira assassination, Rajiv Gandhi years, economic reforms, Ayodhya demolition, Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh’s stewardship of the UPA, and Narendra Modi’s inexorable ride to power. Because it’s an ordinary man’s memoir, the narrative gets intertwined with the Indian chronicle. The big and powerful amplify their lives and achievements; a journalist captures the tone and tension of his times. The book pulsates with the author’s emotions and the nation’s pain and possibility as well.

Democracy Uncaged

By: Udaya Bhaskar Reddy

The India's Political Apparatus did not look more intimidating to a citizen and a citizen never weaker. Massive protests against corruption failing to yield an inch from government. On the 2012 Coal Scam, Shinde our home minister head of CBI commented shamelessly "Our coal blackened hands would be clean once we wash our hands". And the anti-corruption protests, that supposedly made more people come out on streets protesting than during Quit India Movement, got diluted and tired with progress of time and with splits. People never looked so helpless.Will we remain locked with this apparatus for-ever? Can revolutions happen in this vastly divisive and diverse country? Is there a better political solution possibility? This idea seeks to explore and make all those young, poor, thinking, middle class citizens of India to think and have a fresh look at Democracy. Bring back pride and honour into Politics and make everyone come together to get the governance actually change. The changes that they all wish and dream for.

Communication

Emergence, Evolution and it’s progression into Newspapers

By: Dr. Vijay Bhaskar

Humans are exclusively gifted by nature with some anatomical features that give humans an immense capacity to render complex speech. The book explores origin of speech right from the Hyoid bone that exalted human communication into a higher orbit, and then moves onto science and technology behind the development of communication, leading finally to the emergence of mass media, i.e., newspapers. It covers Gutenberg’s marvelous machine which printed Martin Luther’s Ninety-five Theses, the first voice of dissent in the world against the most powerful Catholic Church. 17th century natural philosopher Francis Bacon recognized three great technological innovations: the magnetic compass, the printing press and gunpowder as the distinguishing achievements of modern man. The present book discusses in detail one of the epoch-making inventions: the printing press and its natural progression into newspapers, its impact on societies of the world, its struggle to align itself against the worst of maneuvers to silence the press in the different time spans of history. The first Indian newspaper Hicky’s Gazette by James Augustus Hicky in 1780 and from there a 200-year span has been covered in detail, which comprises the following chapters: Role of science and technology in the development of recording information from oral matrix to printed matrix Meteoric rise and mercurial fall of Hicky British control over Indian newspapers, gagging of the Indian press and Vernacular Press Act Role of Gandhi as a journalist Role of Indian newspapers in the independence struggle, including the history of nationalist newspaper GHADAR: call of mutiny in India from abroad Dubious Working of the East India Company Monitoring of Indian publications in London Emergency, when democracy was wounded

From Science to Emancipation

Alienation and the Actuality of Enlightenment

By: Roy Bhaskar

From Science to Emancipation: Alienation and the Actuality of Enlightenment is the second of three books elaborating Roy Bhaskar’s new philosophy of metaReality, which appeared in rapid succession in 2002. With a new introduction from Mervyn Hartwig, this book contains some of the original transcripts and the questions and answers they provoked, from a variety of lecture and workshop tours Roy Bhaskar presented for Indian audiences before this book was first published. Because of the spontaneous and informal nature of these talks and discussions, this book continues to provide the most immediate and accessible introduction to Roy Bhaskar's philosophy as it charts his intellectual journey. The talks recorded here have retained an immediate local but also deeply universal interest. From Science to Emancipation provides an indispensible resource for all students of philosophy and the human sciences.

Biodiversity of Semiarid Landscape

Baseline Study for Understanding the Impact of Human Development on Ecosystems

By: Sunil Nautiyal,Katari Bhaskar,Y.D. Imran Khan

This study presents authentic data compiled from field experiments and investigations, and provides a point of reference for any future changes associated with anthropogenic activity in semiarid ecosystems. Three years of continuous and rigorous empirical research on biodiversity (from phytoplankton to higher plants and from zooplankton to higher animals – all flora and fauna) in India’s semiarid region have culminated in this work. Though there are many studies available on issues related to biodiversity, the majority cover either specific groups of plants or groups of animals; with the exception of this book, studies that include all flora and fauna including the phyto- and zooplanktons in a given ecosystem are not readily available. Further, the book focuses on an extremely important topic, firstly because semiarid landscapes are highly vulnerable to climate change, and secondly because other developmental activities will be undertaken in the region in an effort to meet its energy requirements. As such, the results of the current study will provide a standard protocol for subsequent monitoring and mapping of biodiversity for conservation and management. The book explores, quantifies and surveys plant and animal species from aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, assessing and quantitatively analyzing the diversity indices of different vegetation strata. Further, it investigates the conservation status of each species (flora and fauna) in keeping with IUCN categories. The study also examines landscape dynamics using RS and GIS for vegetation analysis, and discusses traditional ecological knowledge related to the use, conservation and management of biodiversity. As such, it offers a unique and valuable resource not only for researchers from the environmental/ecological sciences but also for conservationists and policymakers.

Practical Manual of Obstetrics and Gynecology for Residents and Fellows

By: Bindra Vimee,Paul Bhaskar

Obstetrics and Gynecology is a subject that encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions including physiological as well as pathological phenomenon, medical disorders to surgical emergencies, life threatening emergencies that demand immediate actions to situations like a normal labor that requires “masterly inactivity” for a considerable amount of time! The students, who are exposed afresh to this varying spectrum, are often left clueless how to tackle efficiently the demands of the situations. Having a pocket size book that would guide them through the nooks and corners of this puzzling yet intriguing and beautiful subject was always an unmet need. Counseling patients, taking a detailed history, principles of examining a patient, dealing with difficult situations in labor, monitoring the baby and progress of labor, managing a lady with gynecological problems, interpreting the radiology reports, tackling through emergencies, surgical principles, instruments and their appropriate safe use and also the National Programs undertaken by the Government of India have all been dealt with in this book but in a very lucid, smooth and comprehensible way. This has been authored and edited keeping in mind the registrars and residents who can go through it in a brief time and still absorb the intricacies of management effortlessly. A book as brief but yet as detailed and easy-reading as this is surely the best one can think of.

Mourning the Nation

Indian Cinema in the Wake of Partition

By: Bhaskar Sarkar

What remains of the “national” when the nation unravels at the birth of the independent state? The political truncation of India at the end of British colonial rule in 1947 led to a social cataclysm in which roughly one million people died and ten to twelve million were displaced. Combining film studies, trauma theory, and South Asian cultural history, Bhaskar Sarkar follows the shifting traces of this event in Indian cinema over the next six decades. He argues that Partition remains a wound in the collective psyche of South Asia and that its representation on screen enables forms of historical engagement that are largely opaque to standard historiography. Sarkar tracks the initial reticence to engage with the trauma of 1947 and the subsequent emergence of a strong Partition discourse, revealing both the silence and the eventual “return of the repressed” as strands of one complex process. Connecting the relative silence of the early decades after Partition to a project of postcolonial nation-building and to trauma’s disjunctive temporal structure, Sarkar develops an allegorical reading of the silence as a form of mourning. He relates the proliferation of explicit Partition narratives in films made since the mid-1980s to disillusionment with post-independence achievements, and he discusses how current cinematic memorializations of 1947 are influenced by economic liberalization and the rise of a Hindu-chauvinist nationalism. Traversing Hindi and Bengali commercial cinema, art cinema, and television, Sarkar provides a history of Indian cinema that interrogates the national (a central category organizing cinema studies) and participates in a wider process of mourning the modernist promises of the nation form.

FRATERHOUSE

By: BHASKAR GHOSE

Fraterhouse, a college originally for men but now co-educational, was founded in the 1880s by a group of scholars from a monastic order based in Oxford. In independent India the links with Oxford inevitably grew more tenuous; those among the teachers who were English left. The links with Oxford were not, however, severed; a trust set up by a former banker who had worked in India , the Nicholls Trust, regularly sent out two lecturers from Oxford for terms that could last four years. The story is mainly of Nirmal Hazra a distinguished product of the college, of his disastrous involvement, in his first years as a teacher, with Aishani Mitra, a student; of his growing interest in Emily Desanges, one of the Nicholls Trust scholars; of James Ellis, the other Nicholls scholar, deeply interested in Sanskrit literature, who falls in love with Amanda Murray, a diplomat in the U.K. High Commission. As the seasons that make up a year change, so do the stories of the persons linked to Fraterhouse; some end, but are renewed in other forms, like the seasons. Only the college endures.

Human Resource Management - A Contemporary Text

Economics, Commerce & Management

By: Bhaskar Chatterjee

The paradigm of employee management has undergone rapid transformation in the last decade, from comparative advantage to a state of continuous innovation, strategic intent and a holistic knowledge framework. This implies that to be successful, organisations have to develop and/ or seriously re-look at appropriate HRD strategies to tap the human potential within the organisation and align it with the overall corporate strategy. In an increasingly difficult global business scenario, where major decisions have gone awry plunging the world into an economic crisis, HRD professionals are compelled to grapple with progressively more complex issues. It is against this backdrop, that an attempt has been made to present the entire contemporary conceptual framework of human resource development in a refreshingly new style so as to facilitate devising of appropriate strategies for the organisation. Fortunately, there is a rich and growing base of theory, research, and practical experience in HRD efforts. This book has been written to help students, HRD professionals, and managers at all levels to take advantage of this. If they do so, they will increase their effectiveness, along with that of individuals with whom they work and the organisations of which they are a part. The book will serve primarily as a comprehensive text for undergraduate and graduate courses in business, management, public administration, educational administration, and other related fields. This, the FOURTH edition of the book, is a thoroughly revised and enlarged version that has been updated to reflect the thinking on HRD theory and practice that has taken place over the last few years. Some of the new features and improvements include: * New, contemporary case studies; * Discussion of recent thinking about the nature of managerial work, strategic management development, global management development, competency-based management education and development, and new practices in leadership and executive development; * Ideas, references and events updated right upto March, 2009; * Humorous cartoons; clearer, more explanatory diagrams. At the same time, care has been taken to maintain the elements that have made the previous editions a useful and meaningful resource to students and practitioners, including uncluttered writing, a comprehensive approach to HRD, a strong research base, and a balance between theory, research, and practice.

The Service of the State

The IAS Reconsidered

By: Bhaskar Ghose

Is the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) still the most appropriate institution to govern twenty-first-century India? Should a cadre of generalists head organizations as complex and diverse as industrial units; museums and rural development boards? If it had to be replaced; what is the best alternative? Drawing on his experience of thirty-six years in the IAS; Bhaskar Ghose addresses these and other major questions regarding the role; relevance and effectiveness of India’s long-established but often controversial system of state administration in The Service of the State. Ghose argues forcefully that the IAS is still the best option and one moreover that substantially fulfils its functions—and fulfils them well. Though its once sterling reputation has been tarnished by allegations of corruption; political subservience and declining standards of efficiency; there are still sufficient numbers of dedicated public servants. These administrators; spanning diverse social backgrounds; seniorities and regional profiles; draw on established traditions of duty and of cooperation within the service to deliver—to the best of their ability and often in the face of considerable odds—the goods of development. This reflective and luminous memoir is not only a portrait of a lifetime’s service to the state; it is also a timely and persuasive argument for a system of governance that has had a critical impact on India since Independence.
