A Frayed History

The Journey of Cotton in India

By: Meena Menon,Uzramma

Once the envy of the world for its quality and variety, Indian cotton today is mired in uncertainty and despair. Though India is the largest producer of cotton, its farmers are trapped in debt, and thousands choose to kill themselves than face an ignominious fate. Handloom weavers, once proud standard-bearers of the country's artisanal heritage, are barely able to scrape together a living. To make matters worse, there is the back-breaking competition with artificial fibres. Meena Menon and Uzramma take us through the fascinating history of cotton in India, examining its illustrious origins, its blood-stained colonial heritage, and the events that led to its current crisis. Amid the bleakness, the authors suggest a silver lining: reviving indigenous cotton—and the handloom industry that spun its fame. Through painstaking research, Menon and Uzramma show that with the right combination of friendly policies and championing the Indian cotton brand, it is possible to restore the fabric's past glory. This is an important book not just for lovers of cotton but anyone concerned with the struggles of Indian agriculture in a brutal, fast-changing market.

The Life and Works of Ruskin Bond

By: Meena Khorana

Ruskin Bond is known internationally as one of India's most prolific writers in English for children, young adults, and adults. This literary biography analyzes the impact of personal, social, geographical, political, and literary influences on Bond's worldview, aesthetic principles, and writings. Connecting the development of Bond's writing career over the past 50 years to the evolution of the publishing industry in India, Khorana details the author's pioneering work in the field of children's and young adult literature, and his contribution to diasporic and postcolonial/post-independence literatures. She concludes that it is Bond's versatile, original, and elegant writing in a variety of genres that continue to endear him to readers around the world. According to the author, despite Bond's British background, he does not write about India from a Eurocentric perspective. Having lived the majority of his life in India, he knows the country as an insider, writing with an authenticity and emotional engagement about the land and the people of the Himalayas and small-town India. Khorana analyzes his novels and short stores, and highlights his juxtaposition of his protagonists' individual dramas against larger social, moral, and metaphysical issues. In addition, she reveals how the autobiographical and regional elements in Bond's work provide insight into universal themes such as the tension between past and present, city life versus rural values, the dignity of ordinary folk, preservation of the environment, and living in harmony with nature.

Women in Ochre Robes

Gendering Hindu Renunciation

By: Meena Khandelwal

Meena Khandelwal offers an engaging and intimate portrait of extraordinary Hindu women in India who wear "ochre robes," signifying their renunciation of marriage and family for lives of celibacy, asceticism, and spiritual discipline. While the largely male Hindu ascetic tradition of sannyasa renders its initiates ritually "dead" to their previous identities, the women portrayed here are very much alive. They struggle with, and joke about, the tensions and ironies of living in the world while trying not to be of it. Khandelwal juxtaposes the common refrain that "in renunciation there is no male and female" with arguments that underscore the importance of gender. In exploring these apparent contradictions, she brings together worldly and otherworldly values within renunciation and argues that these create tensions that are at once emotional, social, and philosophical.

Raising a Healthy Child: Universal Nurturing Techniques to Overcome Adverse Childhood Experiences, Child Trauma, and Behavior Disorders

By: Dr. Meena Chintapalli

The power of brain training through nurture using multisensory integration zero to three years and even up to five years of life is essential to prevent behavior and learning disorders, and youth health-risk behaviors. This book is a humanitarian contribution from the Society for Assistance International (SAI) and the SAI Institute of Educare, with the intention of preventing child trauma and consequent neurodevelopmental and physical disorders. This book is the result of my passion to reach out to all and ensure that every child is born to give something back to society. Every parent loves their progeny and wants to give them the best. I am certain that parents might have read thousands of books filled with suggestions on parenting techniques, regimental reward, and reactive limit-setting techniques. But awareness by parents of giving positive early experiences through nurture will help build holistic, intellectual, and effective personality development extracted from every newborn. A knowledgeable parent will seek an education that explains how to nurture and extract inherent potential from each newborn. They will be happy to move away from old theories on raising an infant and will eagerly self-educate to develop the skills to be an effective parent. There is one universal truth that differentiates humanity from the rest of creation. It is only in human beings that the five senses connect the individual to the world with the executive brain, which sits on the top of the eye sockets—orbits—and helps use discrimination and self-regulation to balance all the emotions.

Cookstove Chronicles

Social Life of a Women's Technology in India

By: Meena Khandelwal

Cookstove Chronicles examines India's handcrafted, wood-burning cooking stoves, the rural women who use them, and outsiders who try to improve them by engineering a range of "clean" cooking devices. Khandelwal adopts a transnational feminist, anthropological, and STS perspective to reimagine the humble mud stove as both villain and hero of this story and to suggest pathways for collaboration across radical disciplinary divides.

THE IDEAS OF MODERN INDIAN POLITICAL THINKERS ON WOMEN

By: Dr. Meena Gaikwad

India has a long past civilization and in every stage of its history, women constitute half of its population, but their position in society is not the same in all the ages of history. Their position has been variously estimated and diametrically opposite views are expressed regarding their place in different stages of Indian civilization (Parmar, 1973). Several factors including foreign invasions for centuries together, social movements, various geographic regions, different economic occupations, political stability and instability and religious affinity of the family to which woman belongs have always greatly influenced her status in the family as well as in the community (Gaur, 1980).

Early Brain Sprouts from States to Traits

By: Meena Chintapalli

Today, the society is at a crossroads, spending billions of dollars on fixing drug addiction problems, teen pregnancy, and youth health-risk behaviors and violence but unable to accomplish the goals. Prevalence of ADHD, spectrum behaviors, explosive temper, bipolar disorder, violence everywhere, teen anxiety and depression, and drug abuse problems are still high. NIH data shows that 40% of eighteen- to thirty-four-year-olds have some mental health issues that need help. Dollars are spent when changes cannot happen. If the same money is spent in educating general masses through the community organizations on the brain synaptic proliferation for zero- to three-year-olds in their optimal intellectual, cognitive, personality development, we certainly can create a better world. We can prevent ADHD, autism-spectrum behaviors, learning disabilities, depression, and psychosomatic illnesses by preventing aversive pathways during development at zero to five years old. Every child born needs to live on their strengths and talents with self-confidence. The book discusses scientific facts on experiential neurodevelopment for physical, intellectual, psychological, social, and emotional health in childrens zero- to five-year development and gives a curriculum to parents on sensory nurturing and multisensory integration with no expensive toys or gadgets.

The Molecular Biology of Neurofibromatosis Type 1

The Molecular Biology of Neurofibromatosis Type 1

By: Meena Upadhyaya

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common autosomal dominantly inherited, tumour predisposition syndrome affecting 1/3,000-4,000 individuals worldwide. This inherited disorder results from the mutational inactivation of the NF1 gene on human chromosome 17. The NF1 gene contains 61 exons that give rise to 12kb mRNA encoding neurofibromin. The 327kDa (2,818 amino acid) neurofibromin protein is expressed in most tissues and has a number of alternative isoforms. Neurofibromin is a tumour suppressor protein and down-regulates cellular Ras. Increased active Ras-GTP levels also stimulate the important PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway that protects cells from apoptosis. The major clinical featues of NF1 include multiple café-au-lait macules, skinfold freckles, iris Lisch nodules, and neurofibromas. The diagnostic criteria for clinical diagnosis have been well established. However, there are a small number of cases in which the diagnosis is not certain. The germline mutation rate for the NF1 gene is 10-fold higher than that observed for most other inherited diseases. Using a combination of different techniques, almost 95% of germline mutations can be detected. To date, only two firm genotype phenotype correlations have been reported. NF1 phenotype exhibits large variations within a family, evidence for modifying loci regulating the expression of an NF1 gene is beginning to emerge. We also are gaining knowledge on the molecular mechanisms associated with the development of different types of tumours. It is encouraging that the results of recent laboratory and clinical research are finally being translated into clinical trials. With the availability of high-throughput technologies, sophisticated animal models, and multi-centre clinical trials, the future for NF1 sufferers is looking optimistic. This book aims to provide an overview of the genetic and clinical aspects of NF1 and its role in both NF1-associated and sporadic tumour development. It emphasizes the recent developments in this field and some of the promising on-going clinical trials.

Affective Feminisms in Digital India

Intimate Rebels

By: Meena T Pillai

This book studies digital feminist activism in contemporary India. It provides a close and comprehensive analysis of the postmillennial digital moment in India which has given rise to new modes of women’s digital dissent. The volume examines how anti-rape narratives, Feminichy scandals, #MeToo movements, and menstrual activisms, amongst a host of other performative feminist dissent and their discursive medialities create ‘affective digital feminisms’ which both break with and continue the residual and emergent practices within feminisms in India. It looks at digital womanspeak from India and focuses on vernacular forms of dissent, through which the author aims to decolonize feminist imaginaries from their moorings in the West. The author explores new digital, cultural, and social geographies where politically untamed women use their precarity to unsettle deep sexist structures and mount a gendered critique of the political economy of the nation state. An important contribution to the study of feminism in India, the volume will be useful for students and researchers of gender and women’s studies, cultural studies, digital sociology, intersectional feminism, transnational feminism, digital humanities, and South Asian studies. It will also be appeal to readers interested in the history of women’s dissent in India.

Land, Labour and Livelihoods

Indian Women's Perspectives

By: Bina Fernandez,Meena Gopal,Orlanda Ruthven

This book brings together a unique collection of theoretical and empirical analyses of women’s access to land, labour and livelihoods in contemporary India. The authors recognize that gender relations must be viewed intersectionally, along with other social relationships such as caste, ethnicity, religion, sexuality and age, in order to inform an integrated analysis of women’s persistent disadvantage in India. The chapters examine a diverse range of rural and urban livelihoods within sectors such as tea plantations, nursing, hair salons, sex work and waste collection. Documenting the shifts in these sectors in the context of economic liberalization, the authors offer insights on the challenges of development interventions as women negotiate shifts in their livelihood options. Written to engage, the contributions to this book will be of interest both to the general reader and to academics and practitioners in development and gender/women’s studies.

Unstoppable

Only When You Become A Villain, You’ll Become A Hero

By: Meena Chabbria

Only When You Become A Villain, You’ll Become A Hero Everything seem to be falling apart before I started writing this book, until that one night when I decided to tell this story - My story. This is a story of a simple woman who grew up in a refugee colony, in a lower-middle-class family, struggling to even get proper food; eventually getting married, having kids and choosing to walk away from the marriage - all before turning 20. This is a story of a woman who hustled every moment of her life. She started to work as a nanny, a teacher, a telecaller, and from there to reaching this place where she currently heads sales for PVR Cinemas in South India and Sri Lanka is an extraordinary story of grit, determination, and pure perseverance. From thinking of ending her life despite the abundance she gained to becoming a women's career coach, she came a long way. I hope you get to read the journey of this simple woman who made herself a 'S'hero in her own eyes and within the industry. If she can do it, you can do it too.

Redefining the Agenda for Social Justice

Voices from Europe and Asia

By: Francine Mestrum,Meena Menon

The book relates three years of history of social movements from Asia and Europe who work on social justice, as a rough overview. The work for the book is mainly done on the ground, day after day, working in villages and cities, with people and their organisations, organising resistance and preparing alternatives. It is based on the fact that European and Asian concerns are identical, in spite of divergent levels of development and wealth, and that the existing international initiatives, such as the ILO’s social protection floors, or the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are perfectly compatible with neoliberal policies. The book goes beyond and sees social commons as a strategic tool for transforming societies. It is basically a project for the sustainability of life, of humans, of societies, and of nature. The book describes the ideas at the basis of the work in different sectors. It is not about the practice of social policies but about the ideas and discourses that can in the end shape the political practices. In sum, this book, presents a new social paradigm. It concretely shows how social justice and environmental justice do go hand in hand.
