This book makes use of interesting case studies and photographs to describe everyday life in a squatter settlement in Delhi. The book helps to understand the marital experiences of these people most of whom belong to the Scheduled Caste and live in one identified geographical space. The author describes the shifts within their marriages, remarriages and other kinds of unions and their striking diversities, which have been described with care. Shalini Grover also examines the close ties of married women with their mothers and natal families. An important contribution of the book lies in the unfolding of the role of women-led informal courts, Mahila Panchayats and their influence in conflict resolution. This takes place in a distinctly different mode of community-based arbitration against the backdrop of mainstream legal structures and male-dominated caste associations. The book will be of interest to students of sociology and social anthropology, gender studies, development studies, law and psychology. Activists and family counsellors will also find the book useful.
What is the nature of textbooks produced by a postcolonial society and how do they shape the national citizen? How do they define social roles in society, and influence the way people look at themselves and others? In what way do textbooks reflect the framing visions about societal change? By exploring how language is critical to the development of a postcolonial nation and its shifting responses to global modernity, Schooling the National Imagination reflects on these profoundly important questions. Discussing the national education policy in general and the English language policy in particular, Shalini Advani tracks the inner dilemmas of a postcolonial society like India and the troubled history of its language politics. She looks at state-produced school textbooks, traces how English curriculum both reflects and constructs identity in particular ways, and examines classroom practice in schools. Advani goes on to consider the ways in which ideology shapes pedagogic practice, and how classroom transactions define the meaning of what is taught. Sensitive to theoretical discussions on how power and culture are made visible in textbooks and practice, the book moves between study of policy, textbooks, and classroom ethnography to provide a richly textured account of what language education does.

The book was conceived with a purpose of updating practicing gynecologists in the ever-changing field of medicine. We hope this book refreshes the readers on a wide variety of topics. The book for the first time brings to the readers the concept of obstetric High Dependency Unit and Intensive Care Unit. Although this has been the practice in the west, this concept needs to be introduced in many countries to optimally manage high-risk obstetric patients. The definition and management of placenta previa have changed over the years with more focus on conservative management and a greater emphasis.

This book aims to address one of the key challenges facing Human Resource Management (HRM) and Organizational Behavior (OB) researchers. It delves into contemporary topics from which focused research models, ideas, and questions can be developed and tested. HRM and OB are closely related and intersect each other in the examination of practices, which are aimed at managing employees and explaining their behaviors. Proposing to provide researchers with easy access to a slew of contemporary research advancements within the field, this work explores ten contemporary research areas within HRM and OB. Topics include innovative HRM/OB responses in crises, alternative work arrangements for the contemporary workplace, employee mental health, from diversity to inclusion in the workplace, workplace harassment, HRM in small and medium enterprises, alternative perspectives in employee turnover, organizational citizenship and counter-productive work behaviors, leading for work engagement, and employee motivation in a changing environment. Providing researchers with a comprehensive overview of research advances within selected contemporary areas, this book seeks to spur critical thinking, spark alternative research perspectives, innovate extensions to existing theories, and provide the foundation from which focused research can grow and develop within these management fields.
