Its journal, published quarterly since 1872, is the oldest defence journal in Asia and one of the most prestigious in the world. This anthology comprises articles from the USI Journal that span almost 150 years and shed light on a variety of topics pertaining to the development of military science and strategic thought in South Asia. With writings on subjects ranging from campaign studies, to reminiscences of soldiers in battle, to larger questions of defence policy, Military Musings is a rare and valuable addition to literature on India s military thought and history. Mander brings us voices of out-of-work daily-wage and informal workers, the homeless and the destitute, all overwhelmed by hunger and dread. From the highways and overcrowded quarantine centres, he brings us stories of migrant workers who walked hundreds of kilometres to their villages or were prevented from doing so and detained. He lays bare the criminal callousness at the heart of a strategy that forced people to stay indoors in a country where tens of crores live in congested shanties or single rooms with no possibility of physical distancing, no toilets and no running water. Combining ground reports with hard data, Mander argues with great clarity and passion that India is in the middle of a humanitarian catastrophe, the effects of which will be felt for decades.…

The war clouds that had been gathering over the subcontinent for over a year burst forth in December 1971. The ensuing third Indo-Pak conflict which was fought on two fronts resulted in a resounding victory for India and the birth of a new nation: Bangladesh. This volume is a modest attempt to record the first-person accounts and reminiscences of a few veterans of the 1971 war who saw action on either of the two fronts. Personal accounts add flesh to the dry bones of history, and it is hoped that this small anthology will serve to assist future historians of South Asia in their work when they examine the momentous events of 1971 through their own lens.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. In recent times the decline of trade unionism and the absence of labour unions in the public sphere have generated much discussion. In India as well as at the global level, trade unions are generally perceived today as marginalized and ineffective in terms of political and economic intervention. It has been observed that in the era of neo-liberalism, the strength of trade unions has been steadily depleted, and they are being replaced by other institutions and alternative forms of labour organization. Surrogate labour unionism is now seen in the activities of various voluntary associations. The chief questions addressed in this volume are as follows. In labour politics today, is there a perceptible shift away from the classical paradigm of labour politics which was derived from the European historical experience to a vernacular discourse, in the surrogate organizations, social and cultural associations, non-governmental organizations, activities nucleating around primordial identities including ethnicity, and a great many organizations which are not explicitly trade unions of workers? In a shift from the language of class to the language of community, is the agency taken away from trade unions by a plurality of organizations which are purportedly not for employees' negotiation with the employer, but for serving a whole range of objectives ranging from environmental concerns and women's liberation from social oppression to celebration of festivals or welfare of residents of workers' settlements? Is this vernacular mode totally new or were there anticipations of it in the past? In the Tenth International Conference on Labour History, organized by the Association of Indian Labour Historians and the V.V. Giri National Labour Institute, contributions by a number of scholars have added significantly to the literature on labour politics which no longer postulates the primacy of categories derived from the discourse of the European and international labour movement since the late nineteenth century. This volume brings together, on the basis of thematic unity, some of those papers. A good number of papers in this collection address aspects of history long before the current trend of vernacularization manifested itself. It seems, however, that there is a widely shared opinion that in the late twentieth century and the twenty-first century, vernacularity has asserted itself forcefully. (jacket).…

Sugarcane is an important cash crop and can be cultivated under diverse agro climatic conditions throughout the world. It has contributed significantly to the growth of Indian Agriculture and National Gross Domestic Products (GDP). It is providing raw material to sugar industry, the second largest agro-based industry after textile. It also provides employment not only to agricultural laborers in the fields but also to industrial labours in the sugar factories. It is grown under varied soil and climatic conditions, but its productivity is generally limited by abiotic and biotic stresses as it has to face vagaries of nature in all the seasons of year in the field. Sugarcane yield is markedly influenced by several factors such as soil fertility, climate, variety, cultural practices, and prevalence of weed, pests, diseases and environmental stresses. According to an estimate, sugarcane production declines by 45.0, 20.0 and 19.0% by weeds, insect pests and diseases, respectively. The content of this textbook has covered all issues of plant protection of sugarcane crop and also adds latest technologies as per need of hours. The efforts have been made to describe details of sugarcane pests and diseases in systemic and comprehensive manner with figures and table as per need.

Index. For Centuries, the head of the state, who was usually a monarch, was protected by a specially chosen band of warriors renowned for their skill at arms and prowess in battle. These chosen few in time came to be known as the guards of the bodyguards and were the elite of the armies from amongst which they were selected. They protected the person of the monarch and members of the royal family, both in times of war and peace. It is on the basis of their special relationship with the monarch that they were also known as household troops and as such occupied pride of place in the order of march at the head of the army along with the sovereign. In India, the President's Bodyguard (PBG) performs the duties of the household cavalry of the Indian head of the state. Based within the precincts of the President's Estate in the heart of New Delhi, it is not merely a ceremonial unit. Its personnel, required to be at least six feet in height, are professional soldiers, who combine cavalry tradition and ceremonial elan with their duties as trained paratroopers and members of the Indian Armoured Corps. Apart from its connection with the head of the state, the PBG is also the oldest regiment in the Indian Army with a lineage dating back to 1773. As such it is the most senior unit of the Indian Army and occupies pride of place in the regimental order of precedence to stand at the right of the line on any ceremonial parade or order of March. This book traces the history and ethos of this remarkable regiment. It is part of a series of volumes documenting different aspects of the rich cultural, social and historical legacy of the Rashtrapati Bhavan as a national institution. (jacket).…

The basic aim of this manual is to provide useful resource materials for training young students and faculties working in the area of plant systematics. The manual provides updated information on basic as well as applied aspects of plant systematics on various groups of plants like Algae, Lichens, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Chapter 1 to 3 describe the various approaches and methods to study microbial and fungal diversity, which is basically a very useful precursor to the students and young researchers. Chapter 4 and 5 provide deals with the multi-dimensional approaches in Lichen systematics. The book progresses upwards through the plethora of information on the diversity and systematics of Algae, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms (Chapter 6-10). Chapter 11 to 15 contain on the plant methodological details identification, approaches and methods of Flora, revision, monograph and development of herbarium. This information is very important for the students and young faculties who intend to pursue their researches in plant taxonomy. Chapter 14 and 15 particularly provide all the relevant information on the International Code of Plant nomenclature including cultivated plants. These chapters per se are very significant for the amateur as well as serious readers of plant taxonomy. Plant taxonomy and biosystematics is a dynamic subject, as it derives information from various other disciplines like palynology, seed morphology, pharmacognosy, molecular biology, etc. We have, therefore, broaden the scope of this book by including the chapters on palynology, seed morphology, molecular.…
