This book presents a comprehensive analysis of Geographical Indications (GI) in the Indian context with particular reference to the handloom sector. It discusses themes such as the rationale of GI as IP (intellectual property); the domestic position on GIs; GI protection under various international instruments; handlooms from Gujarat and their GI journey; the efficacy of GIs; and GI structure for handlooms. The volume fills the gap between law and policies and recommends the implementation of an efficient legal system. It highlights the status of Indian handlooms, a sector that represents the country’s cultural heritage and supports a range of livelihoods. We examine India’s GI protection system with its diverse cultures and explore how GI can help recognize, support and promote these products to bring socio-economic benefits. The work documents policy measures undertaken for the revival, restructuring and promotion of Indian handlooms and handicrafts, and will serve as an important intervention in Indian law on GI. An investigative study that evaluates the current law and policy on GI protection through detailed case studies and empirical research on select Indian handlooms, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of geography, economics, development studies, sociology, law and public policy. It will also interest policymakers, legal practitioners, textile and handloom professionals, design and business administration institutes, media, arts and crafts museums and civil society organizations working on handlooms or in intellectual property.

Gendering the Massification Generation examines why young people from the same families and communities in India experience different decision-making processes regarding higher education access because of their gender. In India and other contexts where higher education is massifying, and gender parity of enrolment has been reached at undergraduate level, there are still many questions to be asked about gender and access to higher education. Based on an exploratory study of gendered higher education access and choice within the state of Haryana, India, the authors explore gender inequalities of higher education access and choice in the Indian context and connect this with the broader international phenomenon of widening participation. Through an in-depth analysis of the ‘massification generation’, where young people from relatively disadvantaged backgrounds are accessing higher education, often for the first time in their families and communities, readers are encouraged to apply a lens of social disadvantage and gender, and to recognise the norms and transgressions of femininity and masculinity in relation to higher education access and choice. With global implications for the ways in which gender is analysed and framed in widening participation research and policy, this is the ideal book for scholars, students and policy makers working on higher education, as well as researchers and NGOs specialising in gender, school-to-higher education transitions, international development, sociology and area studies.

This anthology is a curated scintillation conveying the various form of incision that we all face in our lives. The main reason behind the publication of this anthology is to give the sense of awareness of various situations that people feel when they experience the real journey of getting incised. The genre of this book is kept open to enhance the thought of incision in the literary fields consisting of poem, story etc. and many more splendid presentations. The theme aptly goes with the concept that after incision we can see the hidden organs and other parts inside body, likewise people hide their emotions, feelings and themselves and some kind of incision leading to exposure of their true self or the opposite which made us hide them.

This book tells the story of ten Indian tribes who have been living lives very different-far away from or even within the same physical spaces-from the rest of mainstream India. Their histories have seldom been told. These tribes are . . . The Halakkis The Kanjars The Konyak Nagas The Changpas The Alu Kurumbas The Khasis The Hill Marias The Jarawas The Meos The Bhils Nidhi Dugar Kundalia traces the origins and explores the daily lives, customs and challenges of some of the many tribes who share the country with us.
Veena Iyer, aged sixty-six, got a degree in dance movement therapy. She is training to upgrade her skill and now runs various workshops. B.R. Janardan, aged eighty-seven, started running after sixty and has sixteen full marathons under his belt. These important stories illustrate the shifting narrative for ageing in India. They battle the ageism that is deep-rooted in Indian culture with fixed notions of 'approved' behaviour. Grandchildren? Yes. Pilgrimage? Yes. But companionship? Gasp! A second career? Why the need? India will have over 300 million senior citizens by 2050. 'Active ageing' has become a popular topic of conversation in urban India and is the process of developing and maintaining functional activities as one gets older. Therefore, it is no longer uncommon to meet people like Janardan or Iyer in our fast-evolving society. We have an ageing society that is living longer and adapting to nuclear families, faraway kids and amorphous social support. Urban Indians are navigating health challenges, isolation and shifting social barometers to practise active ageing, the best form of preventive healthcare. This book takes a deep dive into understanding ageing, its impact on society, and how to overcome certain 'hurdles'. Biological age no longer defines and limits us. After all, why should age prevent us from living the lives we want to?
How safe should highly automated vehicles (HAVs) be before they are allowed on the roads for consumer use? In this report, RAND researchers use the RAND Model of Automated Vehicle Safety to compare road fatalities over time under a policy that allows HAVs to be deployed when their safety performance is just moderately better than human drivers and a policy that waits to deploy HAVs only once their performance is nearly perfect.

Advances in Nanomedicine for the Delivery of Therapeutic Nucleic Acids addresses several issues related to safe and effective delivery of nucleic acids (NAs) using nanoparticles. A further emphasis would be laid on the mechanism of delivery of NAs, the barriers encountered and the strategies adapted to combat them. An exhaustive account of the advantages as well shortcomings of all the delivery vectors being employed in delivery of various NAs will be provided. On final note the regulatory aspects of nanoparticles mediated NA would be discussed, with focus on their clinical relevance. The design and development of nucleic acid-based therapeutics for the treatment of diseases arising from genetic abnormalities has made significant progress over the past few years. NAs have been widely explored for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases or to block cell proliferation and thereby caused diseases. Advances in synthetic oligonucleotide chemistry resulted in synthesis of NAs that are relatively stable in in vivo environments. However, cellular targeting and intracellular delivery of NAs still remains a challenge. Further development of NA-based therapeutics depends on the progress of safe and effective carriers for systemic administration. Nanomedicine has facilitated availability of vectors with diminished cytotoxicity and enhanced efficacy which are rapidly emerging as systems of choice. These vectors protect NAs from enzymatic degradation by forming condensed complexes along with targeted tissue and cellular delivery. During the past few years, a myriad reports have appeared reporting delivery of NAs mediated by nanoparticles. This book will provide an overview of nanoparticles being employed in the in vitro and in vivo delivery of therapeutically relevant NAs like DNA, siRNA, LNA, PNA, etc. - Provides a complete overview of the applicatiosn of nanomedicine in the delivery of nucleic acids, from characterization of nanoparticles, to in vitro and in vivo studies - Discusses delivery issues of less well explored nucleic acids, like PNAs, Ribozymes, DNAzymes, etc. - Summarizes the current state of research in nucleic acid delivery and underscores the future of nanomedicine in this field

Jammu and Kashmir's rich culture contains a history of writers and poets who climbed to popularity and earned international acclaim. Their literary contributions are notable, and several of them have played critical roles in depicting Kashmir to readers all over the world. Many of them have garnered important accolades and are well-known. Here are some facts about prominent poets from Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmir is a region blessed with extraordinary beauty and plagued with what appears to be endless unrest. Both of these factors typically offer a rich setting for outstanding literature. Furthermore, Kashmir has a long literary tradition dating back centuries. Kashmir produced a huge literature in Sanskrit, including possibly the best and most scholarly work of history that ancient India saw, Kalahana's Rajatarangini. However, excellent literature in the valley was not restricted to the ancient period or even Sanskrit. A fresh and magnificent literature bloomed as the Kashmiri language flourished and evolved. This literature was initially fostered by the two major spiritual streams that flowed through Kashmir, Shaivism and Sufism. You must have been in awe of this stunning location, which is renowned for some legendary literary figures in addition to its scenic splendor, after reading about some of the most well-known poets from Jammu and Kashmir. The pride of Kashmir undoubtedly lies in these renowned poets.
