The Politics of Human Trafficking

Lessons from Asia and Europe

By: Siddhartha Sarkar

Human trafficking is a phenomenon that encompasses more than a perceived threat to the sovereignty and security of states and their citizens. It is the ultimate manifestation of the current social, economic, cultural, and political landscape being so entrenched in discrimination, inequality, exclusion, and exploitation across the globe. Based on theoretical and empirical evidence from a cross-country study, this book unfolds the basic structure of these criminal organizations, the sophisticated methods and technology used, and the interactions and roles played by state and non-state actors. Through a more holistic lens, Siddhartha Sarkar examines the complex network of human trafficking governance—transnational cooperation, legislation, and enforcement—required to tackle this global problem.

The Beautiful and the Damned

A Portrait of the New India

By: Siddhartha Deb

The Beautiful and the Damned presents an affecting, incisive portrait of the vast, fascinating, and incongruent country that is globalized India. Siddhartha Deb grew up in a remote town in the northeastern hills of India and made his way to the United States via a fellowship at Columbia. Six years after leaving home, he returned as an undercover reporter for The Guardian, working at a call center in Delhi in 2004, a time when globalization was fast proceeding and Thomas L. Friedman declared the world flat. Deb's experience interviewing the call-center staff led him to undertake this book and travel throughout the subcontinent. The Beautiful and the Damned examines India's many contradictions through various individual and extraordinary perspectives. With lyrical and commanding prose, Deb introduces the reader to an unforgettable group of Indians, including a Gatsby-like mogul in Delhi whose hobby is producing big-budget gangster films that no one sees; a wiry, dusty farmer named Gopeti whose village is plagued by suicides and was the epicenter of a riot; and a sad-eyed waitress named Esther who has set aside her dual degrees in biochemistry and botany to serve Coca-Cola to arms dealers at an upscale hotel called Shangri La. Like no other writer, Deb humanizes the post-globalization experience—its advantages, failures, and absurdities. India is a country where you take a nap and someone has stolen your job, where you buy a BMW but still have to idle for cows crossing your path. A personal, narrative work of journalism and cultural analysis in the same vein as Adrian Nicole LeBlanc's Random Family and V. S. Naipaul's India series, The Beautiful and the Damned is an important and incisive work. A Publishers Weekly Best Nonfiction Book A Globe and Mail Best Books of the Year

By: Siddhartha Shankar Gautam

A flourishing career, a passionate love affair and a lasting friendship come in the way of an unforgiving disaster. What ensues is a desperate attempt to hold onto the pieces that are falling apart. The pandemic not just ravaged the lives of millions of people but also bolstered the feelings of love, friendship and brotherhood in its wake. When the world was collapsing under COVID-19, a group of youngsters was busy salvaging humanity. While the Delhiites were adrift on the second wave, the heroic efforts of Rahul, a small-town boy, and Aditi, a gorgeous, affluent and qualified doctor with a benevolent heart, together with the support of the district administration’s office proved that not all heroes wear capes. But are these heroes ready to pay the price for providing succour to others? Will they be magnanimous enough to let go of their own dreams, aspirations and even their life as they devote their time and resources to provide relief to strangers?

Modi & India

2024 and the Battle for Bharat

By: Rahul Shivshankar,Siddhartha Talya

Focuses on how dharma provides the foundation for a new republic—Bibek Debroy Intensely researched argument about an alternative idea of India—Salman Khurshid The year 2014 was a consequential one for the Bharatiya Janata Party and for India. Will 2024 also be so? Is this election about stopping the rise of Narendra Modi and his alleged distortion of the ‘idea of India’ as conceived by its founders, or the beginning of a dharma-inspired ‘second republic?’ In 2014, the BJP, under the leadership of Modi, won a clear majority in the Lok Sabha elections. The National Democratic Alliance’s triumph ended a nearly two-and-a-half-decade run of mostly messy coalition governments. In 2019, the BJP further improved its tally, cementing its parliamentary majority and its ability to ring in transformational laws and policies. Most of the initiatives taken by the Modi-led NDA have been aimed at positioning Bharat as a ‘Vishwa Guru’—an exemplar of moral righteousness, a pluralistic democracy led by dharma and drawing sustenance from the wellspring of an eternal Hindu universalism. But this shift towards India’s Hindu ethos has prompted the Opposition and many allied commentators to fear the rise of a second republic—a ‘Hindu Rashtra’—moored to an implacable ultra-nationalist and majoritarian dogma. The INDIA bloc has declared the 2024 election as the last opportunity to stop the rise of Modi and his idea of India. Evocative, anecdotal, argumentative and deeply researched, Modi and India: 2024 and the Battle for Bharat chronicles the emergence of, and the battle for, a new republic in the making.

Smart Leading and Parenting of Teenage Kids in the Digital Era

By: Dr. Siddhartha Ganguli

The physical features of teenage kids change to catch up with their brain circuits ready to take on the pre-historic hunter-gatherer roles. The goal: resource mobilisation for survival. Resource mobilisation would not only help them survive but also to earn them invisible rewards by way of positive brain chemicals and electricity. However, the post-industrialisation scenario has been quite different. Teenagers get groomed via skill- or academic development to take on economic roles latest by their mid-twenties. Such grooming strategy does not always lead to the invisible rewards which they would have earned had they been playing their pre-historic hunter-gatherer roles. Most interestingly, today’s versatile digital gadgets offer ample scope for earning brain rewards at the cost of sedentary lifestyles. The prevailing work-and-study-from-home culture has prompted the teenagers becoming dependent on digital technology and getting addicted to the gadgets for earning rewards. There is thus a new need for the parents of today’s teenagers. They must smartly lead themselves and their kids so that digital technology is utilised for their healthy all-round development thus preventing any possibility of addiction. Divided into two parts, the Part 1 of this book throws light on the realities combined with tips; and, Part 2 introduces the new concept of Brain Tools for the use of the kids and the parents, based on the author’s ongoing research on Neuro-management (NM).

Twilight in a Knotted World

By: Siddhartha Sarma

The soil of central India hides more than the bones of long-dead giants. The East India Company is master of almost the entire subcontinent, but real power is now with the Crown. Far from the great games of the empire, Captain William Henry Sleeman is content to administer Jabalpur district and dig for remnants of petrified bones with his charming and knowledgeable wife. Until he is tasked with investigating the activities of an obscure group of criminals who are said to strangle their victims. As Sleeman uncovers the many layers of the Phansigar problem, he finds a language unlike any other, and a set of beliefs, lore and superstitions seemingly drawn from the soul of the countryside. He finds orchards of corpses, and a hierarchy of stranglers, but also ordinary men driven to murder. He hears subtle murmurs of discontentment at the changes which have come to a land believed by some to be unchanging. He finds auguries of a conflict to come. And behind it all, the legend of a mysterious, beautiful man, whose capture might be the key to understanding the Phansigars. Sleeman’s inquiries will make him confront the nature of his beloved adopted homeland and of the mighty people in Calcutta who he serves. Through the prism of caste, the consequent web of intricate social and cultural relationships, and the nature of travel in the hinterland, he will see the real face of India and come across its uncomfortable, bleak truths. But to unravel such truths is not easy…

The ‘Real’ Ramakrishna (As I Have Come to Know Him as Ramakrishna’s Child)

By: Dr. Siddhartha Ganguli

“It is an almost impossible task to know, to understand the REAL Ramakrishna. The Paramhansa was gracious enough to expose his REAL Self to some who deserved…” (Quotes from one of Sri Sri Ramakrishna’s closest devotees) The author, who is, at present, the only unparalleled scholar in the domain of Ramakrishna-related literature, has looked at the Avatar—as if, using all available measurement tools. A very special feature of the present work of the author is ‘My Thoughts on the Father’s Day’ where the author establishes, most logically and rationally, that most biological parents have limitations in making us understand the meaning and purpose of birth and life on this planet. We do need Spiritual Parents to guide us through. The author has most strongly felt that Ramakrishna is his Spiritual Father. Those who have never been exposed to the REAL Ramakrishna are likely to think him ‘mad’ being a witness to his diverse sports (leela). The author has used his meticulous researching skill to bring to light the REAL Ramakrishna and the manifold facets of his super-extraordinary personality many of which have remained undiscovered by even the most well-known Ramakrishna scholars—both Indian and foreign. The author, through the most innovative seven chapters of the book has concluded that the REAL Ramakrishna is not mad; it is those who think and call him ‘mad’ are mad.

The Gene

An Intimate History

By: Siddhartha Mukherjee

The #1 NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller The basis for the PBS Ken Burns Documentary The Gene: An Intimate History Now includes an excerpt from Siddhartha Mukherjee’s new book Song of the Cell! From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies—a fascinating history of the gene and “a magisterial account of how human minds have laboriously, ingeniously picked apart what makes us tick” (Elle). “Sid Mukherjee has the uncanny ability to bring together science, history, and the future in a way that is understandable and riveting, guiding us through both time and the mystery of life itself.” —Ken Burns “Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee dazzled readers with his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Emperor of All Maladies in 2010. That achievement was evidently just a warm-up for his virtuoso performance in The Gene: An Intimate History, in which he braids science, history, and memoir into an epic with all the range and biblical thunder of Paradise Lost” (The New York Times). In this biography Mukherjee brings to life the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices. “Mukherjee expresses abstract intellectual ideas through emotional stories…[and] swaddles his medical rigor with rhapsodic tenderness, surprising vulnerability, and occasional flashes of pure poetry” (The Washington Post). Throughout, the story of Mukherjee’s own family—with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness—reminds us of the questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. In riveting and dramatic prose, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation—from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson and Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary twenty-first century innovators who mapped the human genome. “A fascinating and often sobering history of how humans came to understand the roles of genes in making us who we are—and what our manipulation of those genes might mean for our future” (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel), The Gene is the revelatory and magisterial history of a scientific idea coming to life, the most crucial science of our time, intimately explained by a master. “The Gene is a book we all should read” (USA TODAY).

Music is Magic | Music is Medicine

By: Dr. Siddhartha Ganguli

‘Neuro-management’ (‘NM’), classifies ‘Happiness’ into: ‘Smart Happiness’ that comes transiently with a smart release of the happiness neuro-chemical Dopamine; ‘Short-lived’ or ‘Short Happiness’ where the happy experience is retained a little longer and then gets stored in the long-term memory storage, retrievable on demand; and, finally, ‘Sustained Happiness’ which is long-lasting. ‘Bio-musicology’ is an offshoot of ‘NM’. It deals with the impact of music on body, brain, mind and soul. This book discusses, with diverse examples, how music can have ‘magical’ effects producing both ‘Smart’ and ‘Short’ varieties of happiness. The author believes that, if properly applied with clear understanding of the patient’s pathology and the impact of the sonic vibrations, music can also serve as ‘medicine’ and provide ‘Sustained Happiness’.

Evidence‐Based Neurological Disorders

Symptoms, Causes, and Therapy

By: Sushil Kumar Upadhyay,Siddhartha Dan,Sheikh Abid Ali

Neurology is one of the most fascinating areas of medical science and general biology but it has traditionally been limited to some dedicated aspects only. However, modern neuroscience has embarked on exciting and diverse frontiers related to the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disease and nowadays, neurology has become multidisciplinary. There are many books available that deal with only one key concept of neurology but a book with a multidisciplinary approach is lacking so far. This book emphasizes all the conventional and applied divisions associated with neurology in reference to medical physiology and general biology and covers all aspects to integrate the topics of inter-related approaches. It provides complete information on each aspect of neurodegenerative disorders and brain injury, including autonomic nervous system, neuro-oncology, cerebellar ataxias, spinal cord disorders, neuro-ophthalmic disorders, and neuro-otological disorders such as dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and hearing impairments, in a concise and informative way. It highlights the challenges related to neurological disorders along with their ongoing molecular mechanisms and treatments. The book provides simple and reader-friendly representations and artwork that will help in understanding the concepts.
