The Popular Front and the Global Circulation of Marxism through Calcutta, 1920s-1970s

By: Prasanta Dhar

This book examines the global circulation of Marxism seen from one of its most highly charged sites: Calcutta in India. Building on but also revising existing approaches to global intellectual history, the book presents the circulation of Marxism through Calcutta as a historically-sited problem of mass mediation. Using tools from media studies, the book explores the way that Marxism was presented to the public, the technologies used, and the meanings of Marxism in twentieth-century Calcutta. Demonstrating how the Popular Front was split between the so-called 'people's group' and those whom were called 'intellectuals', the book argues that the people's group generally identified themselves as Marxists and preferred audio-visual media such as theatre, while the so-called intellectuals privileged academic rigour and print media, usually referring to themselves as Marxians. Thus, the author reveals a polyphony of Marxisms in the Popular Front. Tracing Marxism back to the Bengal Renaissance and the Swadeshi and Naxal movements, this book shows how debate around the meaning of 'Marxism' continued throughout the 1970s in Calcutta, and eventually engendered the historiographical movement that has come to be known as Subaltern Studies.

Spectrum

A National Research Book on Socio-Economic Issues

By: PRASANTA GOGOI, DR. MINAKSHI DUARAH, PORAG SHARMA

The book 'Spectrum ' is a concatenation of a rainbow of ideas focusing on the litany of hindrances that have hobbled the upward march of society. The research articles to be published in' Spectrum' can be pigeonholed into different segments considering their political, social, and economic implications. The contributors in this research book have hit upon the prospects and avenues of economic growth that might take society to an unhindered development trajectory. The research articles have thrown sufficient light on the knock-on -effects of imbalanced growth witnessed in different socio-political firmament and thus the articles are a sincere attempt at building an egalitarian world based on the principles of equality and fraternity. Economic prosperity and imbalanced growth- two contradictory ideas- have been adequately highlighted bringing to the surface the reality as to how important balanced development is in every field to fructify the dream of a prosperous society. If we think of building a classless society then the first requirement would be to do away with the prevailing social chasm created by the imbalanced economic growth and also by social injustice and for that matter, Gandhi's principles can serve as a beacon of hope for a society steeped in parochial viewpoints. 'Spectrum' is throwing light on the practical values of Gandhi's doctrines to usher in an ideal society. It is further noted that NEP 20 ' has created much stir in the field of education showing itself as a trailblazing force or initiative and one of the research articles in 'Spectrum ' is trying to pour out colours to every socio-economic aspect expecting the society to be able to keep pace with the challenges of fluctuating times.

Theory of Optical Processes in Semiconductors

Bulk and Microstructures

By: Prasanta Kumar Basu,P. K. Basu

Semiconductor optoelectronic devices are at the heart of all information generation and processing systems and are likely to be essential components of future optical computers. With more emphasis on optoelectronics and photonics in graduate programmes in physics and engineering, there is aneed for a text providing a basic understanding of the important physical phenomena involved. Such a training is necessary for the design, optimization, and search for new materials, devices, and application areas. This book provides a simple quantum mechanical theory of important optical processes,i.e. band-to-band, intersubband, and excitonic absorption and recombination in bulk, quantum wells, wires, dots, superlattices, and strained layers including electro-optic effects. The classical theory of absorption, quantization of radiation, and band picture based on k.p perturbation has beenincluded to provide the necessary background. Prerequisites for the book are a knowledge of quantum mechanics and solid state theory. Problems have been set at the end of each chapter, some of which may guide the reader to study processes not covered in the book. The application areas of thephenomena are also indicated.

Versatile Precursors in Organic Synthesis

By: Okram Mukherjee Singh,Thokchom Prasanta Singh

This book elaborates on the synthesis of versatile precursors and their applications in organic synthesis through a systematic approach. It shows that understanding the chemical properties of different types of versatile building blocks is essential for the successful execution of organic synthesis. The text also discusses how a particular type of precursor is used in the preparation of different types of simple and complex organic compounds, depending on reaction conditions and other substrates.
