Sneha Biswass poems are spun around deep and scarred stories of emotionally distraught characters trapped in real lifelike and complex circumstances. This is her first published work, a collection of poemsmost of which she drew from her own memories of personal experiences. The Dilemma of a Bengali American Immigrant expresses individuals internal crisis while traversing between cultures; one that is deep-rooted, and another that is adopted over the years living in exile in a foreign country. Gossip Mongers of the District of Si gives real-life instances of petty women who engage in slanderous activities. A stay-at-home mother faces many challenges in bringing her daughters up and fights to claim her own identity back in Mishas Identity Now that of a Mother. Mishas wrenching tale showcases her immense strength and endurance while trying to survive an already-failed marriage. A womans lingering nostalgia of the past that still haunts her present sometimes can be seen in Rashis One and Only Love Rahel. It is a poignant work that will move you to the point of almost breaking you down. In A Dusky Beauty Named Devi, she celebrates the freedom-loving dark-skinned beauty who appears to be aging in reverse. Her uniquely different characteristics are what sets her apart from her contemporaries. In In the Gossamer Imagination, we get to peek into the lustful mind of a woman. Neha in Heaven Found is of an unhappy, neglected wife who finds new interest in her husbands friend as she secretly covets him in her heart. The events that follow thereafter will almost blow your mind.
Climate change poses challenging policy tradeoffs for India. The country faces the challenge of raising living standards for a population of 1.4 billion while at the same time needing to be a critical contributor to reducing global GHG emissions. The government has implemented numerous policies to promote the manufacturing and use of renewable energy and shift away from coal, but much still needs to be done to reach India’s 2070 net zero goal. Reducing GHG emissions will almost certainly have a negative impact on growth in the short run and have important distributional consequences for individuals and communities who today rely on coal. But with the right policies, these costs—which are non-negligible but dwarfed by the cost of climate change over the next decade if no action is taken—can be significantly curtailed. This paper provides an in depth review of the current climate policy landscape in India and models emissions trajectories under different policy options to reduce GHG emissions.
This book shows how to prepare titania rich slag from metallized ilmenite using thermal plasma processing. The author reveals the development of a thermal plasma process alternative to the current used ones, which are highly energy costly. The appropriate design of the plasma reactor, which is crucial for achieving reduced energy consumption, is described in this book. The content can be of interest for industrial purposes.
This book explains the concept of education divide in rural India and identifies various factors that shape and sustain such a divide. In doing so, it also discusses a range of attempts undertaken to bridge the education divide. Subsequently, the book has attempted in providing a socio-technical framework towards optimally deploying social technologies for addressing the issue of education divide of marginalized communities. The proposed framework offers a transition from traditional content-centric, teacher-centric and centralized education ecosystem to a connection-centric, learner-centric and decentralized education ecosystem of the socio-digital age. It demonstrates how Internet-enabled digital platforms, based on the principles of sharism and mass collaboration using social technologies, could help to solve one of the greatest problems facing the world: mitigating the extant education divide by delivering quality education to underprivileged sections of society. The book also presents empirical validation of the proposed framework to show how a community-driven blended learning platform can mobilize the dormant knowledge capital of domain experts to teach underprivileged rural Indian children, as well as help form communities of practice to enable lifelong learning for the rural adult population. The book closes by pointing out the challenges involved in building an equitable education ecosystem using social technologies and ultimately the possibility of creating a fair and equitable society. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers and practitioners in the domain of education who want to transform education ecosystems by using technological and process-related innovations to improve educational practices for underprivileged sections of society.
This book explores the dramatic rise in popularity of the women’s biopic in contemporary Bollywood, within the context of wider cultural shifts over the past decade. Delving into the societal shifts reflected in the genre, both on and off screen, the book explores the contours of individual agency and the centring of women in Indian cinema. The book offers new insight into women-centric Hindi biopics, a fast-rising genre carving out a tradition of its own, with female directors and actors contributing to this rising postfeminist celebration of women’s agency and individuality. The authors posit that the alternative narratives, created by Bollywood and accepted by mainstream audiences, have become a catalyst to elevate women or female actors to protagonists, without the need to conform to the sexist mores of mainstream Bollywood. This book will be of interest to scholars, researchers and upper-level students in the areas of film studies, media industries, gender and feminism, and South Asian studies.
