Why does Indian Cinema look different, sound different and is so lengthy? Why are the dialogues so long winding? Why are our costumes so gaudy and garish? Why do we have so many songs in our films? Why do our actors burst into songs and dances for no reason? Are we a society that is exactly like our Cinema? Why are films directed by Saytyajit Ray great and not so great by some other Directors. Have you ever called your spouse ‘Sajni or Sajna’ or ‘Saiyan’ or ‘Balam’ ? Perhaps no, then why does our Cinema use these words? Why does Hindi language Cinema use words or the language that no one uses in real life? Why is it that a Cinema that is almost part of life for millions of Indians and now even foreigners has been dubbed mindless and silly? How many language Cinemas does Indian Cinema comprise of ? Do people who dismiss Indian Cinema as ‘Bollywood’ even understand that 30% of our feature films at least belong to the globally termed ‘art-house cinema class’. Find all answers in the book.

“Chance is the pseudonym of God which He uses when He does not wish to put down His signature” could probably be described as the theme of this absorbing novel. But “everything about The Escapist has the irony of a magician who hides his true face behind a mask and drowns everything in a peal of laughter”, observed Dr. H.P. Shukla in his deep study of this work in the ‘Visva Bharati Quarterly’. By the time one completes reading the novel, one would have felt the title revealing a sense quite different from its ordinary meaning—something akin to the escapism of Francis Thompson in The Hound of Heaven. This not-too-long novel stirs a reader’s sensibility at various planes—from the one that shows the play of unexpected forces in our normal life to the plane where we reflect on the very purpose of life. A saga of soul’s journey through life’s darkness into the infinity of the blue… Why do our dreams get shattered? Why are we confronted by the unexpected and the inscrutable? The turbulence of our passion—the pangs of their frustration—do they play and role in our life’s journey - and journey towards what? How distant is that goal? The Escapist is not just an absorbing novel—but a voyage and an exploration.

Dear readers, before you read chapters of this book, I think you should know the genesis of this book. This book contains fourteen articles, written by twenty-two scholars and academicians. Articles are trying to explore how we see Gender Stereotypes in society, culture, media and politics. All authors tried to explore the concept on different dimensions. Editor, Dr. Amrita first came up with this idea almost one year ago. She already published some books on “Women Security” and pursuing research on different women security issues for longtime. But she questions always, “why people still equate women with gender”. Here comes ‘gender’ stereotypes. In social science writings or academic discussions, people always equate with women issues with gender issues and issues of male and transgender got neglected. That’s why she teamed with another erudite and energetic male researcher, Mr. Manoj Kumar, who is currently working in IIHSG, and started the book editing process. I hope you all will enjoy reading this book as you will find diversified issues from diversified authors from different regions, age group and social group, touching topics like the Nexus of Human Security and the Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic: Gendering European Union Security Strategies; Silenced Voices: Women, Conflict and Sexual Violence in International Law; Gender Stereotyping of AI Powered Humanoid Robot in Indian Hindi Cinema & Hollywood: A Case Study; Breaking the Mold: Women’s Struggle for Political Voice In India; The Experiences of Transitional Aged LGBTQ+ Youth in the Era of Covid 19: A Systematic Review; Women, Political Process and Grassroot Politics in Jharkhand: A Comparative Study of Rural and Urban Women; Alive on the Thrilling Marginal: Social Exclusion of Transgender People; Towards Gender Security: Understanding and Addressing Violence; Analyzing Perceptions of Educated People on Gender Stereotypes seen in Advertisements and Media; Gender Narratives: Navigating Stereotypes and Biases; Experiences of Marginalization among Gender Non- Conforming People; The Sex role Stereotyping and gender in John Fowles- The French Lieutenant’s Women; Culture, Religion, State and Bodies of Women; and Sociology of Gender. Titles of the paper prove that this book is successful in presenting a holistic view in front e readers. The volume is essential reading for social scientists, bureaucrats and non-governmental political activists interested in gender identity and security. It will also appeal to public policy analysts and scholars who have yet to adopt the contribution of critical security and development studies in the analysis of gender.
Himachal Pradesh, which is located in the Western Himalayas, is a part of the world that has been bestowed with an abundance of biodiversity, including a wide variety of plants that can be eaten wild. These plants have been an essential part of the lives of the people who live in the surrounding communities, as they have offered subsistence, nutrition, and a profound connection to nature. From the lower valleys to the high mountain slopes, Himachal Pradesh is home to a broad range of wild edible plants and animals, each of which has its own distinctive tastes, textures, and applications. The Kafal fruit, also known as Myrica esculenta, is an evergreen tree-borne fruit that is highly appreciated for its culinary qualities in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Small and round these berries have a flavor that is both sweet and sour, and they are frequently employed in the preparation of jams, jellies, and syrups. In a similar vein, the Hisalu fruit (Rubus ellipticus), which resembles a raspberry and is enjoyed for its sweetness and utilized in a wide variety of culinary applications, can be found in some South American countries. In addition, Himachal Pradesh is home to a wide range of leafy greens, many of which are wildcrafted due to the high nutritional value they have. Pahari Palak, also called Himalayan Dock (Rumex nepalensis), is a leafy green vegetable that is used in saag, soups, and stir-fried foods. It has a tangy flavor. The dishes are enhanced with a touch of vivacity thanks to its distinctive flavor. Morels, also known as Guchhi, are a type of wild berry that may be found growing in the forests of Himachal Pradesh These berries have a look similar to that of honeycombs, and its flavor is described as being rich and nutty. Morels are regarded as a delicacy in the world of cooking and can be found in a wide variety of gourmet dishes. It is crucial to highlight that although these wild edible plants provide a connection to nature and a rich culinary experience, adequate knowledge and identification are required in order to ensure that foraging in the wild is done in a safe manner. Before consuming any wild plants, it is best to verify their identity by consulting with local specialists or using a good field guide. Not only the wild edible plants of Himachal Pradesh provide a means of subsistence, but they also provide a window into the region's extensive cultural history and diverse biological makeup. These plants are an essential component, and their contributions range from sour fruits and leafy greens to delicious mushrooms and fragrant spices.

Poor people confront the state on an everyday basis all over the world. But how do they see the state, and how are these engagements conducted? This book considers the Indian case where people's accounts, in particular in the countryside, are shaped by a series of encounters that are staged at the local level, and which are also informed by ideas that are circulated by the government and the broader development community. Drawing extensively on fieldwork conducted in eastern India and their broad range of expertise, the authors review a series of key debates in development studies on participation, good governance, and the structuring of political society. They do so with particular reference to the Employment Assurance Scheme and primary education provision. Seeing the State engages with the work of James Scott, James Ferguson and Partha Chatterjee, and offers a new interpretation of the formation of citizenship in South Asia.
