Global Capital and Peripheral Labour

The History and Political Economy of Plantation Workers in India

By: Ravi Raman

This book presents a historical account of plantations in India in the context of the modern world economy. It brings history up to the present, thereby showing how history can assist in explaining contemporary conditions and trends. The author focuses on labour and economic development problems and uses the World Systems theory so as to demonstrate the practical utility of the theory and its limitations as a guide to historical research. Based on extensive archival research, the book interprets the dynamics of plantation capitalism by focusing on the work, life and struggle of the dalits on plantations in colonial and post-colonial South India as they evolved from the mid-19th century. It argues that these elements of the plantation life-world were fashioned by the specific characteristics of the workers' location within the capitalist world-economy, the then prevailing local social structure and the scheme of disciplining to which the workers were subjected to. Treating the relations among various social forces – the planting communities, the oppressed communities (dalits in India), the regional and national state, and the Imperial regime, this book fills a gap in academic literature on capitalism, economic development, and globalization.

Consciousness

The Ultimate Reality

By: Ravi K. Puri Ph.D.

Consciousness: The Ultimate Reality explores all aspects of consciousness. It is a well-written, well-researched work that I find unique in that it delves deep into the subject while still being easy to understand. That combination is difficult to accomplish and Dr. Puri has done an excellent job. I highly recommend this book; its well worth the readers time (Elizabeth Davis, Newspaper columnist and freelance editor, Boonville, MO). A very insightful perspective on consciousness. A marvelous explanation portraying the subtleties of consciousness that is comprehensive and very easy to understand. A reading for a soul-searching, hungry world (Cynthia Neff, Columbia, MO). Consciousness is a very complex subject and has always baffled me. The book is an eye opener for me. I am blown away by the expression of the author. Very simple, comprehensive, well written, amazing insight. A read that will stay with you a life time. A mind stretched can never go back to its original form. Captivating (Lisa McKinzie, President/CEO of McKinzie & Company, Osage Beach, MO). This thought-provoking, beautifully written book has deep, rich insights on higher truth and its relationship with consciousness. It serves as an inspiration for those ready to begin their quest on the path of self-knowledge. A fascinating and clearly annotated study. Not only is Dr. Puri a deep thinker but also a deep knower (Linda Castillon, Director of the Transcendental Meditation Program, Maharishi University of Management, Fairfield, Iowa).

The Goodness of Bad

An Autobiographical Novel

By: Ravi Raman

Out of the blue, during a discussion on child molestation, my wife remarked, “My mother advised us to never believe men.” I was left stunned as she painted all men with one brush. But coming from my life companion and a well-respected counsellor, set me thinking. What she had said had a much deeper relevance than what met my eye. An IIT'ian at heart, after some dithering, I decided it was worth getting to the bottom of it, even if it meant a lifetime. Dive into this book as I relive my past and share the experiences and learnings in the book.

Thrive

Maximizing Well-Being in the Age of AI

By: Ravi Bapna,Anindya Ghose

How AI can positively impact so many aspects of our daily lives, from health and wellness to work, education, and home life. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful general-purpose technology that is reshaping the modern economy, but misperceptions about AI stand in the way of harnessing it for the betterment of humanity. In Thrive, Ravi Bapna and Anindya Ghose counter the backlash by showcasing how AI is positively influencing the aspects of our daily lives that we care about most: our health and wellness, relationships, education, the workplace, and domestic life. In the process the authors help explain the underlying technology and give people the agency they need to shape the debate around how we should regulate AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks. Bringing over two decades of experience with cutting-edge research, consulting, executive coaching, and advising to bear on the subject, Bapna and Ghose demystify the technology of AI itself. They offer a novel “House of AI” framework that encompasses traditional analytics, generative AI, and fair and ethical deployment of AI. Using examples from everyday life, they showcase how the modern AI-powered ecosystem fundamentally improves the emotional, physical, and material well-being of regular people across the globe. Thrive’s mission is to educate the public about AI, shape realistic expectations, and foster informed discussions about a fast-emerging AI-shaped society.

A Debate to Remember

The US–India Nuclear Deal

By: Chaitanya Ravi

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A Debate to Remember

The US–India Nuclear Deal

By: Chaitanya Ravi

The US–India nuclear deal, popularly known as the 123 Agreement, announced by George W. Bush and Manmohan Singh on 18 July 2005, was a defining moment in the relationship of the two countries, as also India’s relationship with the non-proliferation regime. The Bush administration’s implied recognition of India’s nuclear weapons, and its abrupt reversal of three decades of sanctions to restore Indian access to nuclear fuel, reactors, and dual-use technologies despite being a non-proliferation treaty non-signatory, led to contentious debates in both India and the USA. A Debate to Remember emphasizes the multifaceted debate in India over the nuclear deal using concepts from science and technology studies. It focuses on the intense contestation over the civil-military mix of India’s separation plan, the competition between the Iran–Pakistan–India pipeline and the nuclear deal, the role of retired nuclear scientists, and the issue of liability that has stalled the full implementation of the nuclear deal. The impact of domestic factors on issues ranging from the civil-military status of breeder reactors to the Indian insistence on no restriction on future nuclear testing in the 123 Agreement is also revealed in this book.

Bioinformatics - A Student's Companion

By: Kalibulla Syed Ibrahim,Guruswami Gurusubramanian,Zothansanga,Ravi Prakash Yadav,Nachimuthu Senthil Kumar,Shunmugiah Karutha Pandian,Probodh Borah,Surender Mohan

This manual offers a stand-alone reading companion, unique in simplifying the practical components of Bioinformatics in a unique and user-friendly manner. It covers the practical component of syllabi used at most leading universities and discusses the most extensively used tools and methodologies in Bioinformatics. Research in the biological sciences has made tremendous strides in recent years due in part to the increased automation in data generation. At the same time, storing, managing and interpreting huge volumes of data has become one of the most challenging tasks for scientists. These two aspects have ultimately necessitated the application of computers, giving rise to a highly interdisciplinary discipline–Bioinformatics. Despite the richness of bioinformatics resources and methods, the exposure of life sciences undergraduates and postgraduates to bioinformatics is extremely limited. Though the internet offers various tools for free, and provides guides for using them, it fails to help users interpret the processed data. Moreover, most sites fail to update their help pages to accommodate software upgrades. Though the market is flooded with books discussing the theoretical concepts in Bioinformatics, a manual of this kind is rarely found. The content developed to meet the needs of readers from diverse background and to incorporate the syllabi of undergraduate and postgraduate courses at various universities.

Vertical Empire

The General Resettlement of Indians in the Colonial Andes

By: Jeremy Ravi Mumford

Vertical Empire

The General Resettlement of Indians in the Colonial Andes

By: Jeremy Ravi Mumford

In 1569 the Spanish viceroy Francisco de Toledo ordered more than one million native people of the central Andes to move to newly founded Spanish-style towns called reducciones. This campaign, known as the General Resettlement of Indians, represented a turning point in the history of European colonialism: a state forcing an entire conquered society to change its way of life overnight. But while this radical restructuring destroyed certain aspects of indigenous society, Jeremy Ravi Mumford's Vertical Empire reveals the ways that it preserved others. The campaign drew on colonial ethnographic inquiries into indigenous culture and strengthened the place of native lords in colonial society. In the end, rather than destroying the web of Andean communities, the General Resettlement added another layer to indigenous culture, a culture that the Spaniards glimpsed and that Andeans defended fiercely.

And when fingers point towards the opening of the hitherto sealed vaults at the Padmanabha Swamy Temple that is under the control of the royals, all hell breaks loose. Meanwhile, a heist at the Wafi Mall in Dubai leads investigators to uncover a massive racket in the smuggling of antiques from the ruins of temples in south India. Things only get murkier when multiple blasts in Mumbai shake the very foundations of the diamond trade in the country. Is there a connection between these incidents? Who is behind the murders? Follow Kabir Khan, Additional Director, CBI, as he breezes through a complex maze of fact and fiction, faith and deceit, religion and commerce to unravel the mystery and unmask the killers with only minutes left at his disposal.

There Is No Such Thing As Hate Speech

A Case For Absolute Freedom Of Expression

By: Ravi Shanker Kapoor

A bold and audacious take on the subject of freedom of expression. Championing the cause of limitless liberty, Ravi Shanker Kapoor builds his case on the platform of philosophy. He trashes the 'hurting-the-sentiments' and 'offending-the-sensibilities' notions as tricks to enslave humankind. He also slams fashionable liberals and others who peddle the myth of 'Islamophobia'. His position is: 'extremism in the defense of liberty.' He argues for 'extremism in the defense of liberty with cogent reasoning and relevant instances. For him the enemies of liberty in our time are sophisticated people; multiculturalism is their armour, political correctness is their weapon, and postmodern jargon their camouflage.

The Journey of Indian Coins 1947 to 2024

By: Ravi Bhushan Verma

Money, particularly coins, has been one of the most significant inventions in human society. It is a marvel developed through centuries of experimentation and innovation. Since its introduction, money has continually evolved, serving as both, a medium of exchange in daily life and a store of wealth for the future. Among the earliest forms of money were coins, valued for their intrinsic material content, such as gold, silver, iron, and copper. Coins have played a vital role in human civilization, and over time, Indian coins have undergone numerous design transformations. Many people are often surprised when they come across older coins, which reflect the rich history and cultural heritage of India. Motivated by this fascination, I decided to collect various Indian coins, arrange them chronologically, and present them in this book. It will be helpful for this generation and the coming generations to know the journey of Indian Coins from 1947-2024. It is the need of the hour, as our monetary system is on the way to digitalisation. It is possible that in few years, coins can only be seen in museums as relics of the past. This book serves as a guiding light, illuminating the glorious journey of Indian coins for all to see and appreciate.
