The Visceral Logics of Decolonization

By: Neetu Khanna

In The Visceral Logics of Decolonization Neetu Khanna rethinks the project of decolonization by exploring a knotted set of relations between embodied experience and political feeling that she conceptualizes as the visceral. Khanna focuses on the work of the Progressive Writers' Association (PWA)—a Marxist anticolonial literary group active in India between the 1930s and 1950s—to show how anticolonial literature is a staging ground for exploring racialized emotion and revolutionary feeling. Among others, Khanna examines novels by Mulk Raj Anand, Ahmed Ali, and Khwaja Ahmad Abbas, as well as the feminist writing of Rashid Jahan and Ismat Chughtai, who each center the somatic life of the body as a fundamental site of colonial subjugation. In this way, decolonial action comes not solely from mental transformation, but from a reconstitution of the sensorial nodes of the body. The visceral, Khanna contends, therefore becomes a critical dimension of Marxist theories of revolutionary consciousness. In tracing the contours of the visceral's role in decolonial literature and politics, Khanna bridges affect and postcolonial theory in new and provocative ways.

Food and Nutrition Systems in Urban India

Towards Disentitlement

By: Neetu Choudhary

This book explores identity-mediated dynamics of food and nutrition entitlement in urban India analysing concerns around equity, access to food and public health. The issues of disentitlement and identity dynamics when it comes to nutrition and health are more intricate in the urban context, due to a greater population and cultural diversity. While in the global north, urban food planning is increasingly dependent on local government, in developing countries urban nutrition is yet to be considered a serious policy issue. This book, with a disaggregated analysis for urban India and an in-depth case study of Mumbai, examines how malnutrition in India is becoming an urban challenge. It discusses how far caste, religion and migratory identities serve as a source of deprivation and analyses the role of local governance, particularly municipal governance and urban planning, in facilitating the disentitlement. It also offers suggestions for the global south to reverse the stark inequality in its urban centres and address nutrition challenges by developing their own sustainable and resilient food systems. This book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of public health, nutrition, urban sociology, urban planning, development studies, political sociology, public policy and political studies.

ADVANCED PHARMACOGNOSY - I

By: Dr. Shonu Jain,Ms Neelmani Chauhan,Mrs. Neetu Sahu,Mrs.Richa Kashiv

Welcome to "Advanced Pharmacognosy - I (MPG 102T)," an intellectually stimulating and comprehensive course that delves into the fascinating world of pharmacognosy at an advanced level. Pharmacognosy, the study of natural products obtained from plants, animals, and microorganisms, has been an integral part of traditional and modern medicine for centuries. This course is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of the complex and multifaceted field of pharmacognosy. In "Advanced Pharmacognosy - I," students will embark on an enriching journey through the intricate facets of natural product chemistry, the isolation and characterization of bioactive compounds, the exploration of medicinal plants, and the significance of phytopharmaceuticals in modern healthcare. The course aims to equip learners with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize, evaluate, and harness the therapeutic potential of natural products, ensuring that they become proficient in the art and science of pharmacognosy. This preface sets the stage for an engaging exploration of pharmacognosy's advanced concepts and practical applications. By the end of this course, students will not only appreciate the invaluable role of natural products in drug discovery but also grasp their importance in the broader context of sustainable healthcare and the preservation of our natural environment. We encourage students to approach this course with curiosity and enthusiasm, as it promises to be a rewarding academic experience. We extend our gratitude to the educators and experts who have contributed their knowledge and insights to make this course a reality. We hope that "Advanced Pharmacognosy - I (MPG 102T)" will inspire students to further their understanding of pharmacognosy and contribute to the advancement of pharmaceutical science and healthcare

Cutting Edge Techniques in Biophysics, Biochemistry and Cell Biology: From Principle to Applications

By: Neetu Mishra,Anupam Jyoti

Advances in biomedical research have had a profound effect on human health outcomes over the last century. Biophysical, biochemical and cellular techniques are now the backbone of modern biomedical research. Understanding these laboratory techniques is a prerequisite for investigating the processes responsible for human diseases and discovering new treatment methods. Cutting Edge Techniques in Biophysics, Biochemistry and Cell Biology: From Principle to Applications Provides information about basic and advanced analytical techniques applied in specific areas of life science and biomedical Key Features: - Book chapters present a broad overview of sophisticated analytical techniques used in biophysics, biochemistry and cell biology. - Techniques covered include in vitro cell culture techniques, flow cytometry, real time PCR, X-ray crystallography, RNA sequencing - Information about industrial and biomedical applications of techniques, (drug screening, disease models, functional assays, disease diagnosis, gene expression analysis and protein structure determination) is included. The book is an excellent introduction for students (as a textbook) and researchers (as a reference work). The information it presents will prepare readers to understand and develop research methods in life science laboratories for different projects and activities.
