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.

It is a matter of both honour and pleasure for us as editors of this much awaited an edited book on the current topic like ‘Nepotism’. Writing a preface for this book on Nepotism is itself a separate and great experience. Actually, this book is an outcome or the result of great endurance and painstaking efforts taken by all of us. Prof. Dr. Manoj Bhagat has done a sincere job of proofreading and he has taken care of all the technical aspects from the first day of collections of all research papers and articles up to compilation of them properly for this edited book. Of course, Prof. Dr. Sanjay Deosthale stood along with us in the complete process of this book, his guidance proved to be fruitful as an outcome of the final copy of ‘Nepotism’ book. It was really a laborious as well as difficult task to call a research paper or article on such a hot topic which has influenced almost all areas of life and work, but ultimately, we could do it with cooperation and team spirit within us. I must be grateful to Prof. Dr. Manoj Bhagat for suggestion to work on the selected topic i.e. Nepotism and bring it into the form of an edited book. Now, this most debatable topic like Nepotism has attracted the attention of critics and readers towards it. It has not only come up as a separate branch of study in humanities, social science and other correlated subjects also.
In the summer of 2020, China and India came near to war. The nuclear-armed adversaries both massed troops and equipment along their disputed border in eastern Ladakh. The two sides slugged it out with fists, stones and clubs, next to a fast-flowing Himalayan stream, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries, many from hypothermia. The entire 4,000-kilometre Sino-Indian boundary is disputed. In 1962, the two countries fought a short and vicious war that went badly for India, and from which Nehru never recovered. The border, called the Line of Actual Control, is not marked on any map agreed upon by the two sides; it runs through the largely unpopulated and inhospitable high mountains of the Himalayas. From the 1990s, as Beijing and New Delhi sought to resolve their seemingly intractable border dispute, an elaborate system of agreements kept the situation akin to a kettle on a slow boil. But the kettle is now boiling over. The two rising Asian giants, both led by strongly nationalistic regimes, neither of which wishes to blink first, are seeking geopolitical and strategic advantage. This timely book explains what is happening on 'the roof of the world'; and why that matters for us all.

It is a privilege to introduce the reader to this book, as I believe that it will make a signi?cant contribution to, given the dif?culties in the knowledge of the Indian Ocean, developing cooperation in the Indian Ocean region. There have been numerous failed efforts at regional cooperation in different fora in the Indian Ocean. As a result of the land-based orientation of the people in the region, the importance for countries to develop the power to govern the sea has largely been ignored. The maritime approach taken by Manoj Gupta to the Indian Ocean as a region in international relations offers a timely and critical assessment of the potential for regional cooperation and ocean governance. The political leadership in the region can no longer ignore the need for coop- ation in maritime affairs in the Indian Ocean. This book enriches the literature on Indian Ocean issues as it argues convincingly that the security of nations, economic well-being of the people and health of the Indian Ocean cannot be divested from one another. All are fundamentally dependant on the ability of the countries in the region to individually and collectively exert the power to govern the sea.
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.

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.
A look at the current and future uses of magnesium-based products and their role in the world's environmental and technological revolution The lightest of all structural metals, having one-fourth the density of steel and two-thirds that of aluminum, magnesium has already been adopted as an alternative construction material in applications as far ranging as automotive and sports equipment, electronics, and space technology.
