The Boy Who Did Not Sign

How I Failed Physics at Age 18 and yet became a Scientist at both India's Nuclear and Space Programs by 24.

By: Ashish Ranjan

Ashwin Taksh is a 23-year-old small-town boy who aspires to work as a scientist at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) – India's Space Program - which accepts only 0.04% of applicants. In June 2017, he is coming out of a failure in his first attempt to qualify for the highly competitive ISRO entrance exam. When he gets admitted to India's prestigious Nuclear Program instead, he accepts, even though it's not his first choice. He initiates his new job and decides to simultaneously study for the next ISRO exam-quickly learning that this is no ordinary job either. It requires him to complete a one-year stringent training program in Nuclear Science & Engineering at its Academy - learning the most complex and cutting-edge technologies of Nuclear Fission. The further he moves, the more he understands the price of achieving a dream career. When he begins to develop feelings for one of his colleagues, he discovers the politics and groupism of the Academy. He finds himself cornered by the corruption of the system. Ashwin must decide whether he is willing to risk his sanity and achievements - risking his high-end career in the Nuclear program -for the illustrious career he has always dreamed of. This path he chose led him to make choices that pushed his career to the verge of termination What actions and determination brought an academically poor boy into the Nuclear Program of the World's Largest Democracy? What concoction of passion, stubbornness, and ego then brought him to the verge of unemployment - A Rogue Scientist? The Boy Who Did Not Sign, through its inspirational yet twisted tale, gives you the experience of that journey to pursue a goal with an incomprehensible degree of passion.

Justice versus Judiciary

Justice Enthroned or Entangled in India?

By: Sudhanshu Ranjan

There can be no dispute that the judges of the high courts and the Supreme Court of India wield tremendous powers. However, power comes with a price which bestows huge responsibility. Building on this narrative, the book advocates that judges must be made accountable not only in respect of their personal conduct and integrity, but also in respect of the judicial verdicts they deliver. This book, thus, critically discusses Articles 141, 142, and 144, which make the Supreme Court the most powerful institution in the country, and Articles 32 and 136, which also confer wide powers on it. Using these powers, the apex court sometimes, unmindful of the budgetary and other vital implications, tends to pass orders which lack the scope for implementation. The book suggests measures to improve the functioning of Indian judicial system and save the institutions of justice from turning autocratic and narcissistic.

From Gloom to Glory

By: Mir Ranjan Negi

Hockey threw him into ignominy and then suddenly made him famous. This is the dramatic life of goalkeeper Mir Ranjan Negi who was the much- lauded coach of the cast of the film Chak De India made by Yash Raj Films. His account of his fall from grace on national television in front of a whole nation, in the finals against Pakistan in the Delhi Asiad, is as moving as his fight for his redemption. The book holds out some hope that hockey can regain the glory it once enjoyed in the world arena. A truly inspiring book about sportsmanship and the doughty wielders of the hockey stick which one hopes will shake a one-game obsessed nation into sitting up and noticing the unsung heroes our national sport.

Indian Migrant Organizations

Engagement in Education and Healthcare

By: Md Mizanur Rahman,Rakesh Ranjan

The Indian diaspora is increasingly engaging with the homeland by forming a range of migrant organizations—organizations constituting a growing sector of non-State actors who engage with the host country and the country of origin in a sustained and profound way. Research on migrant organizations tends to focus only on transnational migrant organizations in host countries. Indian Migrant Organizations analyses a set of local and transnational organizations formed by Indian migrants, whose activities include mobilizing resources and connections and engaging in numerous development initiatives in India, and studies their engagement particularly in the Indian healthcare and education sectors. In particular, the book discusses how these organizations have evolved, what kind of healthcare and educational projects and activities they are carrying out, and how such collective efforts are affecting development dynamics in India.

Agricultural Benefits of Postharvest Banana Plants

By: Dibakar Chandra Deka,Satya Ranjan Neog

Banana farming is the basis for commercial fruit trading. Every banana plant generates waste biomass nearly ten times the quantity of its fruits. Disposal of waste biomass is a burden for the farmers. Economical use of the waste biomass can bring financial benefit to banana farmers. Use of organic potash in lieu of inorganic potash affords higher yield and also helps to preserve the ecosphere of soil for subsequent crops. Agricultural Benefits of Postharvest Banana Plants details the use of postharvest banana plants for agriculture and trade. Eleven chapters explain both traditional and modern uses of banana plants. The reader is informed how bio-waste from postharvest banana plants (including their stems) can be used as organic potash to replace inorganic potash (muriate of potash) in fertilizer. Experimental uses of banana plant pseudo-stem juice for growing different crops along with chemical analysis of the pseudo-stems are explained in separate chapters. Isolations of potassium chloride and potassium carbonate have also been discussed in the latter part of the book. This book is an ideal handbook for professionals and trainees interested in utilizing postharvest banana plants for sustainable agriculture and trade. The information is also useful for students and teachers involved in agricultural biotechnology and traditional agriculture courses.

A Theatre of Their Own: Indian Women Playwrights in Perspective

By: Dr. Pinaki Ranjan Das

In an age where academic curriculum has essentially pushed theatre studies into ‘post-script’, and the cultural ‘space’ of making and watching theatre has been largely usurped by the immense popularity of television and ‘mainstream’ cinemas, it is important to understand why theatre still remains a ‘space’ to be reckoned as one’s ‘own’. This book argues for a ‘theatre’ of ‘their own’ of the Indian women playwrights (and directors), and explores the possibilities that modern Indian theatre can provide as an instrument of subjective as well as social/ political/ cultural articulations and at the same time analyses the course of Indian theatre which gradually underwent broadening of thematic and dramaturgic scope in order to accommodate the independent voices of the women playwrights and directors.

India and Bilateral Investment Treaties

India and Bilateral Investment Treaties

Refusal, Acceptance, Backlash

By: Prabhash Ranjan

As a consequence of being sued by more than 20 foreign investors, India terminated close to 60 investment treaties and adopted a new Model Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) purportedly to balance investment protection with the host State’s right to regulate. This book is a critical study of India’s approach towards BITs and traces their origin, evolution, and the current state of play. It does so by locating them in India’s economic policy in general and policy towards foreign investment in particular. India’s approach towards BITs and policy towards foreign investment were consistent with each other in the periods of economic nationalism (1947–1990) and economic liberalism (1991–2010). However, post 2010, India’s approach to BITs has become protectionist while India’s foreign investment policy continues to be liberal. To balance investment protection with the State’s right to regulate, India needs to evolve its BIT practice based on the twin framework of international rule of law and embedded liberalism.

India and Investor-State Dispute Settlement

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

India and Investor-State Dispute Settlement

Affronting Sovereignty or Indicting Capriciousness?

By: Prabhash Ranjan

Prabhash Ranjan explores the two competing narratives of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) and focuses on the six ISDS cases India lost. On the one hand, ISDS is chastised for affronting the State’s sovereign regulatory power – the Philip Morris narrative. On the other hand, ISDS allows investors to hold States accountable for abuse of public power – the Yukos narrative. This book argues that India’s ISDS story resembles the Yukos narrative. With a focus on six case studies, this book examines the reasons that led to foreign investors suing India and the following developments. These ISDS claims are divided into four categories: a case arising from judicial actions, claims brought because of the cancellation of a contract to lease spectrum, conflicts resulting from the imposition of retroactive taxes, and disputes arising from the actions of sub-national governments. Based on India’s recent treaty practice, the book also contends that India is de-legalizing and de-judicializing international investment law. By telling India’s ISDS story, the book drives home the point that rectifying the ISDS system's flaws requires both narratives' centrality. Excessive focus on the Philip Morris narrative will replace the existing imbalances with a new one where the scale tilts towards the States to the detriment of foreign investment. This is a useful reference for scholars and practitioners interested in ISDS and its implications for India.

Streams of multi-branched sadhanas found an appropriate confluence in Sri Ramakrishna and the extent and depth of his spiritual realizations beggar description. The ablest biographer may find it difficult to comprehend the evolution of the Master’s inmost self and episodes of his divine transformation. Therefore the story of his unique life is best told by himself. This book published by Advaita Ashrama (Publication House of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India) is an attempt to form an autobiography of Sri Ramakrishna from his utterances about his life.

Secrets of Zynpagua

Return of the Princess

By: Ilika Ranjan

The Moon Is Calling: Read the Stars! This is a story of a cursed land called Zynpagua. Not many years ago, Zynpagua was a part of the Earth. It was ruled by King Soto and Queen Sussaina. The queen possessed supernatural powers, which she used to bring happiness and prosperity to her people. Zynpagua thus was a very happy land. But an evil eye was watching it. It was the eye of the scientist Drudan. He tricked the king and the queen to ignore their kingdom. This angered the Sun and Stars, and they refused to shower their blessing on Zynpagua. In the meantime, Drudan created a fatal violet light to kill King Soto. The violet light generated catastrophic movements that separated Zynpagua from the Earth, carrying with it all the people on the land. Without the support of the Sun, Zynpagua became a dark planet. Drudan imprisoned Queen Sussaina behind the shadow of the moon, while King Soto could not be traced. Zynpagua became a cursed land. While in prison, Queen Sussaina secretly gives birth to a girl and transfers all her powers to her and sends her to the Earth. Now the only solution to Zynpaguas misery is the return of this princess.

A Lover's Quarrel with the Past

Romance, Representation, Reading

By: Ranjan Ghosh

Although not a professional historian, the author raises several issues pertinent to the state of history today. Qualifying the ‘non-historian’ as an ‘able’ interventionist in historical studies, the author explores the relationship between history and theory within the current epistemological configurations and refigurations. He asks how history transcends the obsessive ‘linguistic’ turn, which has been hegemonizing literary/discourse analysis, and focuses greater attention on historical experience and where history stands in relation to our understanding of ethics, religion and the current state of global politics that underlines the manipulation and abuse of history.

Contested Waters

India's Transboundary River Water Disputes in South Asia

By: Amit Ranjan

This book examines India’s transboundary river water disputes with its South Asian riparian neighbours — Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. It explores the history of disputes and cooperation over the transboundary river water in this region as well as discusses current disputes and future concerns. It analyses how and why existing transboundary river water sharing treaties between India and its South Asian riparian neighbours are confronted with challenges. The book indicates that India’s transboundary river water disputes with its South Asian riparian neighbours are likely to escalate in coming years due to the widening of the demand¬–supply gap in the respective countries. It further shows the impact of bilateral relations on the resolution of transboundary river water disputes, even as cordial relationships do not always guarantee the absence of river water disputes between riparian states. The book looks at some key questions: How political are India’s transboundary rivers water disputes in South Asia? Why do the roots of India’s river water disputes with Bangladesh and Pakistan lie in the partition of the British India in 1947? Why are there reservations against India’s hydroelectricity projects or allegations of water theft? Is it possible to resolve transboundary river water disputes among these South Asian countries? This book will greatly interest scholars and researchers working in the areas of river management, environmental politics, transnationalism, water resources, politics and international relations, security studies, peace and conflict studies, geopolitics, development studies, governance and public administration, and South Asian studies in addition to policymakers and journalists.
