1 Arun, Shoba
Development and gender capital in India: change,
continuity and conflict in Kerala/ Shoba Arun.-- New
York: Routledge,2018.
xvi, 170p. , 24cm
(Routledge research on Asian development,1)
ISBN: 9781138221963
305.42095483 ARU 147047
This book explores the forces of globalisation and how
they are embedded within power structures. Through
narratives of women-s lived experiences in the private
and public domains, it highlights the -anomie of gender-
through complexities and contradictions vis-a-vis
processes of modernity, development and globalisation. By
demonstrating the limits placed upon gender capital by
structures of patriarchy and domination, it argues that
discussions about the empowered Malayalee women should
move from a mere -politics of rhetoric and
representation to a more embedded -politics of
transformation’, meaningfully taking into account women-s
changing roles and identities.

2 Kolge, Nishikant
Gandhi against caste/ Nishikant Kolge.-- New Delhi:
Oxford University Press, 2017
xviii, 316p , 22cm
ISBN: 9780199474295
305.51220954 KOL 147044
This work examines Gandhi-s understanding of the caste
and varna, and his evolving strategies to abolish it. It
divides the entire political career of Gandhi in India
into five periods - 1915 to 1920, 1920 to 1927, 1927 to
1932, 1932 to 1945, and 1945 to 1948 - based on the
themes that emerge in his writings during those years on
issues of untouchability, caste, varna, sanatani Hindu,
inter-dining and inter-caste marriage. It traces the
evolution of Gandhi-s views, exploring shifts and turns
in the context of political and social development of the
time.

Dalits and the making of modern India/ Chinnaiah Jangam.
-- New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2017.
xiii,247p., 23cm
ISBN : 9780199477777
305.56880954 JAN 147034
This book inverts the dominant nationalist narrative and
brings to the fore the unacknowledged contributions of
Dalits towards the collective imagination of nation in
India. By using colonial archives, Telugu Dalit writings
and their political activities, this book presents a
Dalit perspective on nationalism. Dalits embraced their
history as part of their emancipation project. Arguing
for the abolition of untouchability, caste inequality and
the accompanying humiliations as a precondition for
independence, they imagined a nation on the basis of the
egalitarian principles of justice, liberty, equality and
human dignity. These eventually became the foundational
principles of the Indian Constitution drafted under the
guidance of B.R. Ambedkar.

5 Kapur, Devesh (ed)
Costs of democracy: political finance in India / Devesh
Kapur and Milan Vaishnav.-- New Delhi: Oxford University
Press, 2018.
xiii, 311p.,22cm
ISBN: 9780199487271
324.780954 KAP 147033
This book is an exhaustive, ground-breaking study of
money in Indian politics that opens readers- eyes to the
opaque and enigmatic ways in which money flows through
the political veins of the world-s largest democracy.
Through original, in-depth investigation-drawing from
extensive fieldwork on political campaigns, pioneering
surveys, and innovative data analysis-the contributors in
this volume uncover the institutional and regulatory
contexts governing the torrent of money in politics, the
sources of political finance, the reasons for such large
spending and how money flows, influences, and interacts
with different tiers of government. The book raises
uncomfortable questions about whether the flood of money
risks washing away electoral democracy itself.

Chinese efforts to carry out a transition to socialism.

This book critically examines the clubs birth and
evolution, mechanisms of inter-BRICS cooperation, its
agenda priorities, BRICS countries interests, decisions
made by members, their collective and individual

can provide for world order. It also interest scholars and
graduate students who are researching the rise and role
of emerging powers, global governance, China and India’s
approach to global order and relationship with the United
States, Great Power politics, democratization as a
foreign policy strategy, realist theory-building and
hegemonic transitions, and the (crisis of) liberal world
order.

This book introduces the mathematical foundation of
Bayesian inference which is well-known to be more
accurate in many real-world problems than the maximum
likelihood method. Recent research has uncovered several
mathematical laws in Bayesian statistics, by which both
the generalization loss and the marginal likelihood are
estimated even if the posterior distribution cannot be
approximated by any normal distribution.

Buddhadeva Bose received the Sahitya Akademi Award in
1967 and was felicitated with the Padma Bhushan in 1970.
Few realize that Bose was also one of the best writers of
English prose in modern Indian writing in English. This
book brings together, for the first time, a selection of
his writings in the English language. Bose’s subjects
range from world literature, Bengali writers and Tagore,
to Bengali gastronomy, Picasso and the films of Charlie
Chaplin. These wide-ranging and diverse essays are not
only a delight to read, they are also some of the best
literary criticisms written by an Indian critic since
Independence.

Press,2018.
x,278p.24cm
ISBN: 9780190931537
947.086 SHA 147092
In this book, the author provides new insight into
contemporary Russia and its search for a new identity,
telling the story through the country-s troubled
relationship with its Soviet past. He not only explains
Vladimir Putin-s goals and the government-s official
manipulations of history, but also focuses on ordinary
Russians and their motivations. He charts how Putin
raised victory in World War II to the status of a
national founding myth in the search for a unifying force
to heal a divided country, and shows how dangerous the
ramifications of this have been. The book explores why
Russia, unlike Germany, has failed to come to terms with
the darkest pages of its past: Stalin-s purges, the
Gulag, and the war deportations.

The Sino-Indian War of 1962 delivered a crushing defeat
to India : not only did the country suffer a loss of
lives and a heavy blow to its pride, the world began to
see India as the provocateur of the war, with China
-merely defending- its territory. This perception that
China was largely the innocent victim of Nehru-s hostile
policies was put forth by journalist Neville Maxwell in
his book India-s China War, which found readers in many
opinion makers, including Henry Kissinger and Richard
Nixon. For far too long, Maxwell-s narrative, which sees
India as the aggressor and China as the victim, has held
court. Nearly 50 years after Maxwell-s book, Bertil
Lintner-s China-s India War puts the -border dispute-
into its rightful perspective. Lintner argues that China
began planning the war as early as 1959 and proposes that
it was merely a small move in the larger strategic game
that China was playing to become a world player-one that
it continues to play even today.
