Parents play a multifaceted role in shaping their children's lives, specifically focusing on the tension between fostering independence and recognizing individual potential. While parents are undoubtedly crucial figures in a child's development, acting as primary educators and guides, their influence can sometimes inadvertently neglect the child's unique needs and aspirations. This potential conflict arises within the social context. Parents, often drawing upon societal expectations and their own experiences, navigate a path toward independence for their children. While providing a foundation, this established structure may only partially account for the diverse spectrum of individual strengths and weaknesses, exemplified by frameworks like Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. Furthermore, the current parenting model prioritizes independence over fostering a long-term, supportive relationship with the child. This oversimplification overlooks the complexity of healthy parent-child relationships, which can encompass individual autonomy and a strong sense of connection. It is important to acknowledge that the limitations of traditional parenting approaches are not solely the result of individual shortcomings. Unlike most professions, parenting lacks formal instruction, relying largely on on-the-job learning and adapting to diverse situations. This reality necessitates further exploration of alternative approaches and support systems that can empower parents to navigate this complex and crucial role while recognizing each child's unique potential. It is critical to understand and emphasise the undeniable importance of parents in their children's lives while urging a critical examination of current practices. By recognizing the potential tension between established structures and individual needs, we can foster a dialogue that leads to a more nuanced and effective approach to raising future generations. While parents undoubtedly guide us from dependence to independence, equipping us for life's journey, this traditional approach often overlooks the unique spark within each child. This book challenges that notion. "Leadership Parenting" champions a new perspective. Here, we move beyond simply providing for our children's needs. We explore how to nurture their strengths, aspirations, and intellectual, emotional, and social potential. Forget the "one-size-fits-all" model. This is a call to action to embrace the constant learning inherent in parenting. You'll discover tools and strategies to navigate the complexities of modern parenthood, fostering independence and a supportive, long-term relationship with your child.

India's State-run Media presents a new perspective on broadcasting by bringing together two neglected areas of research in media studies in India - the intertwined genealogies of sovereignty, public, religion, and nation in radio and television, and the spatiotemporal dynamics of broadcasting into a single analytic inquiry. It argues that the spatiotemporalities of broadcasting and the inter-relationships among the public, religion, and nation can be traced to an organizing concept that shaped India's late colonial and postcolonial histories - sovereignty. The book contends that studies of television have glossed over the meanings, experiences, and practices of the religious in televisual narratives and viewers' interpretations of television programs. Drawing on the philosophical writings of Paul Ricoeur and Michel Foucault, connecting their ideas with media, cultural, and religious studies, it examines cultural discourses, power relations, repertoire of meanings, social events, etc. in broadcasting in late colonial and postcolonial India.

Imagining the city as a series of interconnected spaces, the book explores how several such connections – between the home and the street, family and public spaces, religious and non-religious contexts, for example – relate to the topic of masculinity. How do men – elite, subaltern, consumers, 'heads' of the family, members of 'Hindu fundamentalist' organisations, readers of pulp fiction and 'footpath pornography', those who admire the 'strong' political leader – move between these spaces, define them and are defined by them? Urbanisation in India is a vibrant site of an extraordinary cultural, social and economic churn, a context of both the consolidation of masculine identities as well as anxieties regarding their place in the city. The book suggests that sustained and in-depth engagements with specific historical and social contexts avoids tendencies to imagine cities as nodes of comparison that frequently generates universal models of urbanism.
I can see where you are going. Up shit creek...with a paddle.' He was right. That is where I was going. It was the kind of thing that my analyst had always warned me against: 'You are at an inflexion point in a mood to do the irrational and the irreverent.' He forgot irreversible. Harsh Sinha - 'Fat F**ked and Forty' - is so moved by a painting bearing this name and a compelling likeness to him that he spends a large chunk of his life's savings on it. Announcing a year-long sabbatical from his advertising job in Mumbai he returns to Chennai to his wife and daughter determined to spend quality time with them. Sadly, his wife Gayathri no longer wants him; she is more interested in the artist next door. The artist, Newton Kumaraswamy is an inveterate womanizer and a famous thief - his every work an ode to that acknowledged master Francis Newton Souza. With no job to turn to and no family to lean on Harsh returns to Mumbai to let himself freefall further into the seductive world of contemporary Indian art and artists... Sharp, rough, and written with biting candour, Artist, Undone is a beguiling narrative of one man?s understanding of the creation, the commerce and the critiquing of contemporary art. It is also a montage of lives changed ? mauled, redefined and occasionally redeemed ? by it.

Man and leopards have been living in close proximity since ages, but in the last century, the situation has turned against the latter due to some natural and mostly man-made factors. Therefore, the peaceful coexistence between the two has been replaced by constant skirmishes. Strangely, when we witness a rise in such conflicts in other parts of the country, there is a friendly and sacred bond seen between the 'Rabaris' and these cats in Jawai and Bera in the Pali district of Rajasthan, where leopards are revered by 'Rabaris' who term themselves as devotees of the Hindu God ('Shiv Bhagat') and describe leopards as the dwellers of the jungle ('Banwasi'). This is indeed a mystery that remains unresolved to this date and requires detailed explanations and straightforward answers. The book, 'Whispers of Leopard' seeks to provide insight into the natural world from the leopard's perspective. As human-leopard conflicts rise, fostering a compassionate attitude towards these creatures becomes crucial. It will be useful to those interested in wildlife conservation and exploration.

This book explores the development of sustainable public procurement (SPP) as a strategic policy instrument to support decoupling of economic growth from environmental degradation and enhancing social well-being. Offering an in-depth case study of India’s SPP implementation trajectory, it discusses the challenges of integrating sustainability criteria into purchasing decisions, and examines policy choices and best practices to address them. It investigates the legislative, institutional, and governance framework for SPP in India, and identifies priority actions to accelerate wider uptake of SPP policy and practices. Furthermore, the book highlights the evolving role of SPP policies in response to emerging global mega trends, such as international trade, low carbon economy, circular economy, and Industry 4.0. Given its scope, this book appeals to scholars of economics, public administration, and environmental and social sciences, as well as to policymakers, practitioners, and advocates interested in steering transformational changes towards mainstreaming sustainable procurement practices in developing economies at the desired scale. "This book comes at the right time to compensate for the lack of in-depth works on the origins, nature and reality of the implementation of sustainable purchases.” - Farid Yaker, Programme Officer, Sustainable Public Procurement, Economy Division, UNEP, Paris, France. “...If you are a procurement or sustainability professional anywhere in the world, please read this book. It will change the way you think and feel about your profession.” - Shaun McCarthy OBE, Chair, Supply Chain Sustainability School, London, UK & Director, Action Sustainability, London, UK
The present book investigates various dimensions of environmental protection and degradation. It contain original and review research articles from science as well as literature fields. Broadly speaking it covers the areas like environmental degradation, issues of pollution, geo-environmental predicament, Eco criticism and environmental consciousness in English literature. The main purpose of the book is to investigate present predicament of environmental degradation and to discuss the possible solutions in a scientific way for the protection of environment. At present the books available on the topic of environmental protection does not cover all the dimensions and most of them are particular path oriented like resources on biodiversity, pollution, etc. the present book fulfils this lacuna and explores environment from various perspectives in a scientific way. The book also discusses reflection of environmental consciousness in literature. Since environmental degradation and protection is a multi-layered phenomenon, this book will be helpful to the teachers, students and researchers who wish to understand various dimensions of the environmental issues with possible scientific solutions.
Despite 58 years experimentation with the policy of protective discrimination and planned development a large majority of the 80.2 million tribal people languish in abject poverty, landlessness, powerlessness, illiteracy and malnutrition. Being caught in the hangover of the strong patriarchic tradition the women of nearly 700 marginalized tribal communities find themselves highly exploited, subjugated and voiceless. The present book, first of its kind on tribes living in northern districts of West Bengal (popularly known as North Bengal), explores the areas of subjugation of tribal life and particularly that of the tribal women and analytically presents the case of tribal women in a tea garden locale in the Dooars region of Jalpaiguri district. The focus of the study has been education, i.e. how the tribes in general and tribal women in particular are doing in the field of education. The field of education is chosen because it is generally considered the most important force of empowerment, enlightenment and social transformation and because it provides us with a field to explore the areas of gender discrimination subsumed in tribal patriarchy. The book has approached the problem of tribal education and the gender question in education against the backdrop of the dialectics of dominant-subordinate relationship between the state and the dominant society on the one hand and the marginalized tribes on the other. The uniqueness of the book lies in its critical approach to the state-sponsored development strategies and its emphasis on a ‘cultural approach’ for a better understanding of the problem and for working out alternative development strategies for improving the educational status of the tribal communities. Sanjay K. Roy, Reader, Department of Sociology, North Bengal University, West Bengal, had his Ph. D. from Delhi School of Economics, Delhi University, and pursued post-Doctoral research at the University of Sussex (UK) and University of Wollongong (Australia). Dr Roy has edited a volume on Refugees and Human Rights (2001) and contributed a good number of research papers to the leading journals, volumes and to national and international seminars/workshops. His areas of interest include sociological theories, urban poor, refugee studies, political sociology and gender studies.

India’s natural and cultural heritage—embodied in its rivers, lakes, and mountains—shapes the lives and beliefs of its people, preserving traditions through the ages. The rivers are venerated as sacred, with their waters believed to purify and heal. The lakes, often home to temples and shrines, serve as revered sites of pilgrimage and worship. The mountains are honored as the abodes of gods and goddesses, their peaks marked by ancient places of reverence. The profound beauty of journeys lies in their ability to enhance knowledge, deepen spiritual connections, and foster personal growth. They are transformative experiences that leave lasting impressions on the traveler’s soul, enriching lives and contributing to a more enlightened and interconnected world. As I reflect on my own journeys, I recognize that each step taken along these sacred paths has brought me closer to understanding the deeper truths of life. The divine experiences, the serene beauty of nature, and the timeless cultural heritage have all woven a rich tapestry of memories that will forever remain etched in my heart. Such journeys underscore the intrinsic value of travel—not merely as a means to explore new places, but as a pathway to deeper self-discovery and spiritual growth.

This book analyzes energy security through the lens of oil and natural gas and explains how geopolitics and security challenges affect India’s quest for energy security. It also offers insights into India’s international trade and investment in the overseas oil and natural gas markets and discusses shale energy, adopting region-specific (Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, and LAC), country-specific (Russia and the US), maritime-specific (Arctic and South China Sea), and pipeline-specific (TAPI, MBI, IPI, and RCI) approaches to analyze India’s oil and natural gas trade and investment abroad. The introductory chapter examines energy perspectives in international relations and conceptualizes energy geopolitics and energy security from both international and Indian standpoints. The book also highlights the similarities and differences in the issues involved in the global oil and natural gas market, and India’s approach to these, offering a roadmap for holistic and integrated energy security through oil and natural gas. Since India’s energy trade and investment in the international oil and natural gas market are not free from the effects of political instability, corruption, environment crisis, militancy, terrorism, war, and geopolitical involvement and interference, the book investigates the nature and extent of the security threats and competition India faces in the oil and natural gas-producing countries while pursuing its trade and investments there. As major sources of energy, oil and natural gas are strategic assets, and energy security is one of the core areas of India’s foreign policy pursuits. As such, the chapters critically assess India’s energy policy and resource diplomacy, providing analyses of the issues raised, identifying the central arguments and presenting existing cooperations – with past examples where necessary. The book appeals to scholars and policymakers active in the fields of energy, political science, international relations, economics, foreign policy, peace and conflict, security and geopolitics, as well as non-experts interested in this topic.

Subject Lessons offers a fascinating account of how western knowledge “traveled” to India, changed that which it encountered, and was itself transformed in the process. Beginning in 1835, India’s British rulers funded schools and universities to disseminate modern, western knowledge in the expectation that it would gradually replace indigenous ways of knowing. From the start, western education was endowed with great significance in India, not only by the colonizers but also by the colonized, to the extent that today almost all “serious” knowledge about India—even within India—is based on western epistemologies. In Subject Lessons, Sanjay Seth’s investigation into how western knowledge was received by Indians under colonial rule becomes a broader inquiry into how modern, western epistemology came to be seen not merely as one way of knowing among others but as knowledge itself. Drawing on history, political science, anthropology, and philosophy, Seth interprets the debates and controversies that came to surround western education. Central among these were concerns that Indian students were acquiring western education by rote memorization—and were therefore not acquiring “true knowledge”—and that western education had plunged Indian students into a moral crisis, leaving them torn between modern, western knowledge and traditional Indian beliefs. Seth argues that these concerns, voiced by the British as well as by nationalists, reflected the anxiety that western education was failing to produce the modern subjects it presupposed. This failure suggested that western knowledge was not the universal epistemology it was thought to be. Turning to the production of collective identities, Seth illuminates the nationalists’ position vis-à-vis western education—which they both sought and criticized—through analyses of discussions about the education of Muslims and women.
