A Brief History of the Sikhs attempts to highlight that the inhabitants of Punjab have been free spirited, accommodating and companionate towards the peaceful settlers. But they were not accommodating towards the invaders from the north west. They accepted the new ideas like Sufism and the Bhakti movements with open arms. Out of the synthesis of the two, Sikhism was born. The Sikhs carried on their free spirited approach towards the Punjabi nationalism and onwards to uncompromising nationalist approach for the independence of India from the British slavery in 1947. Unlike other communities, the Punjabis fought against a common enemy not among themselves. The Punjabis have been hard working, honest, peace loving and pushing, irrespective of their ethnicity. The Muslims, Hindus and the Sikhs stood for the Punjabiat. That is what the, A Brief History of the Sikhs stands for.
The foundation of pharmaceutical science is pharmaceutics, which includes the ideas and methods necessary for the creation, research, production, and assessment of drug delivery systems. This book, "PHARMACEUTICS – THEORY," provides an in-depth overview of the theoretical underpinnings of the pharmaceutics subject. The need for pharmaceuticals that are safe, efficient, and patient-focused is only going to increase in the current dynamic healthcare environment.

Each one of us is confronted with the same question at sometime or the other, "Who am I"? There is no one person within struggling with a monkey on their shoulders. Either we tame this monkey and experience true happiness, joy and enlightenment or surrender which take us on the road to disillusionment, surrender to the meandering mind and a wasted life. Search for one's soul is a difficult road but there is light at the end. The path whether religious, humanistic, mystic or scholarly or work centered releases energy within and creates opportunity to break out of our shackles. Sincere effort is rewarded with direction, provoked by unfathomable forces. As one traverses the path of self discovery milestones have no meaning, but what matters is to find wings to fly. Enlightenment is the Secret to Fly, wrestles with "Who am I"? The novel a fictional story takes the reader on a tour of beliefs, thoughts, customs and sensibilities of Indian spiritual and religious thought and explores concepts of happiness, joy and enlightenment. The protagonist is a middle aged company executive who wants to opt out from the rat race and his efforts brings him to a sadhu who has achieved enlightenment at a young age and the novel follows the life of this sadhu from childhood, schooling, his tragedies, training in a hermitage and his eventual enlightenment, his leaving the hermitage and his travels. As he travels in the Himalayas he encounters people from many parts of the world seeking peace, happiness, tranquility and a meaning in their sufferings and life. Life outside his hermitage is very different and he is saddened with the injustice, insensitivity and the unhappy lives of people. He seeks a different enlightenment and believes that institutions including hermitages where he spent many years, temples, organized religion or governments unable to provide the means for peace and happiness in spite of the many organized entities intruding in peoples lives individual unhappiness and disillusionment were increasing. Since what men seek lie within hence solutions to ones discontent is personal. He finds a simple solution at the end of his travels that will end mans misery and brings joy back in their lives.
“Honesty is your biggest strength and Dignity your strongest defence.” Those are the simple yet profound words of an IAS officer who, from a humble background, rose to the highest echelons of the Government of India with a relentless focus on establishing the highest standards of ethical governance and moral rectitude. Devinder Singh Bagga was a man who believed that the administrative service is a tapasya—a self-effacing occupation to serve the masses. In his memoirs spanning thirty-seven years, he endeavours to narrate an administrator’s struggle to exercise administrative rectitude and probity while he navigated choppy waters with no patronage or protection. He held coveted positions in the Indian bureaucracy, including that of the Deputy Election Commissioner of India under the iconic T. N. Seshan, an era that transformed the Election Commission of India into a no-nonsense autonomous constitutional body. He eventually retired after becoming the Chief Secretary of India’s most challenging state—Uttar Pradesh. The author brings to life his experience of the “steel frame of India” and helps us get a deeper understanding of the various subjects that may yet be shrouded in conjecture and not fully understood by the layperson. Through this light-hearted, yet thoroughly insightful, account of his remarkable journey, the author conveys his views on what it takes to deliver exceptional administrative governance with objectivity and integrity while refusing to be drawn into contentious distractions “A very informative and interesting read from a man who fondly imagined in his ambitious moments that probity and determination are measuring instruments whose Zero Error is Zero.” – Kavita Bagga (a daughter’s fond remembrance)
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Biology - Miscellaneous, grade: M.Sc., , course: Biotechnology, language: English, abstract: Research and analysis of nanoparticles (NPs) synthesis and their biological activities has been expanded significantly in the recent years. The agents used for nanoparticles (NPs) synthesis are of organic (mainly carbon) and inorganic (metal ions like silver and gold) origin (Singh et al., 2010). Among these, silver (Ag) is the most preferred NPs synthesis agent due to its reported use in medical field as best topical bactericides from ancient times (Lavanya et al., 2013). The stable silver nanoparticles had been synthesized by using soluble starch as both the reducing and stabilizing agents (Shrivastava et al., 2012). So the concern of scientific community shifted towards ecofriendly, natural and cheaper method of NPs synthesis by using microorganisms and plant extracts (Mohanpuria et al., 2008). The use of plant materials for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is most popular due to its potential biological activities, easy availability and faster rate of synthesis there by cutting the cost of NP's synthesis (Huang et al., 2007 and Salam et al., 2012). The nanoparticles had been clinically used for infection, vaccines and renal diseases (Malhotra et al., 2010). The plant extract of petals of herbal species like Punica granatum, Datura metel (Chandran et al., 2011) and stem extracts of Svensonia hyderobadensis (Linga et al., 2011) had been effectively used for AgNPs synthesis and investigated for their antimicrobial activities. Nanoparticles could be synthesized by various approaches like photochemical reactions in reverse micelles (Taleb et al., 1997), thermal decomposition (Esumi et al., 1990), sonochemical (Zhu et al., 2000) and microwave assisted process (Santosh et al., 2002 and Prasher et al., 2009). Nanocrystalline silver particles have found tremendous applications in the field of high sensitivity biomolecular detection and diagnostics (Schultz et al., 2000), antimicrobials and therapeutics (Rai and Yadav., 2009 and Elechiguerra et al., 2005) and micro-electronics (Gittins et al., 2000). Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. is an exotic species that can survive in degraded lands in Thai savanna (Badejo et al., 1998). Besides its high adaptability in degraded savanna areas, A. auriculiformis is known for its nitrogen fixation property (Sprent and Parsons, 2000) enriching macrofaunal composition (Mboukou-Kimbatsa et al., 1998), low allelopathic effects (Bernhard-Reversat et al., 1999) and ability to pump nutrients from the subsoil (Kang et al., 1993).
Metal Matrix Composites by Friction Stir Processing discusses the capabilities of utilizing friction stir processing (FSP) as a tool to manufacture new materials, such as composites. FSP is considered a tool for grain refinement. However, this work illustrates how FSP has a wider capability due to the material flow and mixing the process offers.

Parents bring their children to pediatrician for common pediatric problems and ask for opinion on coexisting skin problems (secondary complaint) or they come with primary dermatological problems. Very few pediatricians work in dermatology OPD or wards during their training in pediatrics and hence are not able to handle dermatological complaints when they set up their practice. When faced with such a problem, there is a tendency to prescribe ointments containing antibacterial, antifungal agents, and steroids. Such a polytherapeutic approach may have disastrous consequences. Moreover, some of the dermatological conditions in children are different from those in adults. In this era of sub-specialization, general pediatricians who offer primary care to children must be knowledgeable in pediatric dermatological problems. Since 20–30% of cases in pediatric practice have dermatological problems, there is a need for a book on "Pediatric Dermatology" keeping in view the specific problems encountered in Indian subcontinent. Clinical Pediatric Dermatology is primarily meant for beginners in pediatric dermatology and pediatricians. This book has been written keeping in view the interests of both. The main purpose of this book is to educate pediatricians and dermatologists who take care of young ones with pediatric dermatoses. - A clinically oriented book for beginners in pediatric dermatology. - Develops key learning skills to manage pediatric dermatoses. - Builds clear cut concepts in pediatric dermatology. - Focuses on common pediatric dermatoses seen in India.
The year - 1958. The setting post-colonial India, still not wholly liberated from the influence of the Empire. The players - Ravinder Singh, successful anglophile engineer and David Massey, humble carpenter. As their worlds collide and their lives intersect at crucial junctures, the narrative weaves seamlessly across generations between their seemingly disconnected lives, loves, families, and fortunes, as the book hurtles towards its ironic dnouement where a stunning reversal of fortune plays itself out. Underscoring the vagaries of destiny, the whims and caprices of Lady Luck, and the outrageous reversals of fate that turn our lives upside down, Slings And Arrows is a page-turner that fans of Jeffrey Archer and Sidney Sheldon will enjoy.
