Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire

Twenty years after 9/11

By: Deepa Kumar

A critically acclaimed analysis of anti-Muslim racism from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries, in a fully revised and expanded second edition In this incisive account, leading scholar of Islamophobia Deepa Kumar traces the history of anti-Muslim racism from the early modern era to the “War on Terror.” Importantly, Kumar contends that Islamophobia is best understood as racism rather than as religious intolerance. An innovative analysis of anti-Muslim racism and empire, Islamophobia argues that empire creates the conditions for anti-Muslim racism, which in turn sustains empire. This book, now updated to include the end of the Trump’s presidency, offers a clear and succinct explanation of how Islamophobia functions in the United States both as a set of coercive policies and as a body of ideas that take various forms: liberal, conservative, and rightwing. The matrix of anti-Muslim racism charts how various institutions—the media, think tanks, the foreign policy establishment, the university, the national security apparatus, and the legal sphere—produce and circulate this particular form of bigotry. Anti-Muslim racism not only has horrific consequences for people in Muslim-majority countries who become the targets of an endless War on Terror, but for Muslims and those who “look Muslim” in the West as well. With a new foreword by Nadine Naber.

Headstrap

Legends and Lore from the Climbing Sherpas of Darjeeling

By: Nandini Purandare,Deepa Balsavar

This captivating chronicle delves into the untold story of a tribe of people who have played a significant role in mountain exploration and climbing in the Himalayas. Situated in northern India, Darjeeling was developed as a colonial retreat by the British in the early 1830s and soon became famous for its tea gardens, attracting locals from around the region, Nepal, and Tibet in search of work. When Darjeeling became the jumping-off point for early Himalayan expeditions, workers from the Sherpa and Bhutia communities soon established themselves as the preferred high-altitude porters, bringing fame, entwined with tales of valor, courage, and sacrifice, to the city. These are some of their stories. Over the course of a decade, authors Nandini Purandare and Deepa Balsavar conducted a series of interviews with Sherpas from Darjeeling, as well as their family members, descendants, friends, and contemporary climbers. Headstrap weaves a vivid tapestry of this particular Sherpa community, giving them the recognition in mountaineering literature that they deserve.

Biological Synthesis of Inorganic Nanoparticles and Their Applications

By: R. Indira Iyer,Siddhartha Singha, K. Deepa

Nanoparticles have immense commercial importance. Biogenic synthesis of nanoparticle from diverse groups of organisms is of great interest since the methodology is simple and hazard-free. The obtained nanoparticles are free from toxic residues and are bio-compatible. The book offers an overview of various aspects of biological synthesis of the inorganic nanoparticles-gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper oxide, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, and carbon nanostructures by different biological systems and their suitability for application in various fields especially in biomedicine and environmental protection. The diversity of biomolecules in these bioresources can facilitate biomanufacturing of nanoparticles of suitable size and geometry by regulating reaction parameters. The book also offers an insight into the use of callus cultures which are renewable bio-resources for the axenic synthesis of nanoparticles suitable for therapeutic applications. In several studies the biogenic nanoparticles have been found to be superior to nanoparticles synthesized by conventional methods. Hence studies on the current status of biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles and their applications will facilitate future research to achieve biomanufacturing of nanoparticles for various beneficial uses. It is suitable as a reference book for researchers. It is useful as a textbook for post-graduate and undergraduate students. Each chapter has several questions to stimulate the interest of students. There are also simple laboratory protocols for biogenic synthesis.

Design of Social Funds

Participation, Demand Orientation, and Local Organizational Capacity

By: Deepa Narayan-Parker,Katrinka Ebbe

Annotation World Bank Discussion Paper No. 375.Social funds have proved to be important instruments for reaching the poor using community-based strategies. Yet, while there have been innovations in the design of these funds, the projects are much less participatory and demand-oriented than is commonly believed. This paper examines the extent to which social fund subprojects are designed to support community participation, demand orientation, and investment in local organizational capacity to achieve sustainability at the community level.

Take-2

50 Films That Deserve a New Audience

By: Deepa Gahlot

An essential resource for scholars, connoisseurs and serious fans of Indian cinema, Take-2 makes for an entertaining, informative and nostalgia-filled read In the last few years there has been a glut of books on Indian cinema but most of them focus on the life and times of famous stars or celebrate popular film classics. Even though information and film trivia are now easier to access than ever before, some films have completely disappeared with not even a single print available due to reasons both tragic and strange. Also lost in time are some filmmakers and actors who once added their bit to the history of Indian cinema but have now simply vanished from our collective memory. In Take-2, Deepa Gahlot reacquaints or introduces us to 50 films (and many artistes) that merit our attention. While some on this list were chosen because they were the first Indian films of their kind, or were obscure films by well-known directors, others deserve mention because they were by creative talents whose contribution to Hindi cinema has been overlooked. Gahlot’s mission to rescue and preserve these forgotten gems should inspire us to go back and take another look.

Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace

A Guide to The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act, 2013

By: Deepa Rafeeque

The sexual harassment of women at workplace is a highly debated topic in the society. Of late, the sexual harassment cases are being reported on a daily basis from every corner of the country. There could be many instances which are not reported also. Though the action on receiving such complaints is yet to bring an apparent change in the workplace. Primary reason for inaction appears to be ignorance of the law. Whether, it’s an ‘aggrieved woman’ or the respondent or the witnesses or the Internal Committee or an Organisation itself cannot act on a complaint unless the provisions of the law are known to them. The Guide on The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 is simple reference book. Our endeavour is to help the people who need to use this law for any purpose. The book can be used as a ‘ready reckoner’ for every woman and others to understand the procedure and limitations, and above all for the organizations to provide a safe and secure workplace. It covers the basic legal provisions of the Act ,the Rules and Regulations, the complaint handling process, and the measures to be taken by the management of Corporates and Educational Institutions for the prevention and prohibition of sexual harassment of women at the workplace. I believe, this book will be helpful for all including the employers, trainers, NGOs and the public as a whole.

Shammi Kapoor

Legends of Indian Cinema

By: Deepa Gahlot

Shammi Kapoor continues to gather Lifetime Achievement Awards, as the country still dances to his songs. India’s first major dancing star, with a fabulous selection of music to back his moves, he never toppled from the pantheon of film greats, no matter how many superstars came after him. The Rebel Star - the middle son of Prithviraj Kapoor - dominated the 60s with his musicals and today’s dancing stars are indebted to him for liberating the Hindi film hero from the strong, silent, traditional role. The book traces his career with his ups and downs, touches upon his tempestuous life and gives credit where it’s due. Shammi Kapoor will always be among the best dancing stars and actors ever seen in Hindi films.

The Arthashastra for Children

By: Deepa Agarwal

India's gift to the world-Kautilya's Arthashastra addresses almost every aspect of governance from the duties and objectives of the ruler to social welfare, financial management, town planning, law and justice and foreign affairs. Lost for centuries, it was miraculously rediscovered by Rudrapatna Shamasastry, a Sanskrit scholar, in 1905 CE. This version, especially adapted for young readers, aims to acquaint them with a heritage work, while providing insights into the nitty gritty of running a country. Using examples from history as well as current geopolitics, it attempts to illustrate how Kautilya's theories of governance remain as relevant as they were two thousand years ago.

Moving Out of Poverty

Success from the Bottom Up

By: Deepa Narayan,Lant Pritchett,Soumya Kapoor

No matter if I fall, I get up again. If I fall 5,000 times, I will stand up another 5,000 times.' -- William, a 37-year-old from El Gorri n, Colombia Why and how do some people move out of poverty and stay out while others remain trapped? Most books on growth and poverty reduction are dominated by the perspectives of policy makers and academic experts. In contrast, 'Moving Out of Poverty: Success from the Bottom Up' presents the experiences of poor people who have made it out of poverty. The book's findings draw from the Moving Out of Poverty research conducted in communities in 15 countries in Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and South Asia. The authors synthesize the results of qualitative and quantitative research based on discussions with over 60,000 people in rural areas. They offer bottom-up perspectives on the processes and local institutions that play key roles in escapes from poverty. The study finds that there are no differences in the initiatives taken by the poor, the rich, and the upwardly mobile. What, then, explains the difference in outcomes? The authors demonstrate how in the face of deep social inequalities that block access to economic opportunities and local democracies individual initiative and empowerment by themselves are often not enough to escape poverty. This book will be of interest to all concerned with equity in an increasingly unequal world.
