The Vulnerable Andaman and Nicobar Islands

A Study of Disasters and Response

By: Punam Tripathi

This first full-length book addresses disasters in the context of vulnerability of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands that comprise 572 islands in the Bay of Bengal. It looks at the disasters that the islands have experienced in the last 200 years and analyzes major disasters since colonization by the British. Raising some critical questions, this book attempts to understand the overall profile of disasters – the facts, causes, damage, response and recovery – in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It discusses earthquakes, cyclones, tsunami and epidemics, as well as impacts of World War II, the penal colony and the post-Independence resettlement on the tribal population. The work will serve as a rich resource with its detailed tables, figures, maps and diagrams; appendices; and database ranging from travelogues, Census of India reports and fieldwork to Right to Information (RTI) petitions that collect hitherto unknown facts. The book will be useful to students of geography, disasters and disasters management, climate and environmental studies, history, sociology, island and ocean studies, and South Asian studies.

Modi's Vision to Empower Women

By: Ed. Punam Kumari

India has witnessed a transformative shift in women’s roles and impact across various sectors over the past decade. From agriculture to aeronautics, business to battlefields, classrooms to corporate offices and playgrounds to parliament, women have redefined gender equality narratives nationwide. This book celebrates this indomitable spirit, exploring women’s struggles, triumphs and significant contributions in shaping modern India. It reflects the evolving influence of women in contemporary Indian society and celebrates their achievements in diverse fields. This book highlights how Indian women have begun to tap into this vast potential, driving a paradigm shift. Each chapter honours women who have challenged societal norms, driven economic growth, and defied conventions. PM Modi's vision of women as nation-builders is evident in the recent law reserving 33% of parliamentary seats for women and initiatives like ‘Lakhpati Didi’ and ‘Drone Didi; empowering female entrepreneurs and revolutionising agriculture. Empowered women contribute Significantly to economic growth, break poverty cycles and enhance community decision-making, essential for realising India’s full potential. A real tribute to the untiring efforts of out empowered women.

Social Transformation in Post-conflict Nepal

A Gender Perspective

By: Punam Yadav

The concept of social transformation has been increasingly used to study significant political, socio-economic and cultural changes affected by individuals and groups. This book uses a novel approach from the gender perspective and from bottom up to analyse social transformation in Nepal, a country with a complex traditional structure of caste, class, ethnicity, religion and regional locality and the experience of the ten-year of People’s War (1996-2006). Through extensive interviews with women in post-conflict Nepal, this book analyses the intended and unintended impacts of conflict and traces the transformations in women’s understandings of themselves and their positions in public life. It raises important questions for the international community about the inevitable victimization of women during mass violence, but it also identifies positive impacts of armed conflict. The book also discusses how the Maoist insurgency had empowering effects on women. The first study to provide empirical evidence on the relationship between armed conflict and social transformation from gender’s perspectives, this book is a major contribution to the field of transitional justice and peacebuilding in post-armed-conflict Nepal. It is of interest to academics researching South Asia, Gender, Peace and Conflict Studies and Development Studies.
