This shift in the population structure is taking place mainly due to longer life expectancies and falling birth rate. A rural urban migration also creates psychological social and economic problems for the elderly. The health care system is quite inadequate and there is hardly any specialized agency focusing on the problems of aged and elderly people. This book contains 11 chapters on various aspects written by prominant scholars. This probes all issue and problems germane to aged and elderly in special context to Arunachal Pradesh penned by scholars of repute. besides academic worth this will prove informative and useful to policy planners social activists and NGO's in the field. 108 pp.

Under the British Raj the Khasi and Jaintia Hills was divided into two parts Khasi and Jaintia Hills District and Khasi states. The Khasi states one of the Indian states that acceded to the dominion of India are not parts of British India. Insofar as the administration of justice is concerned the administration for the Khasi and Jaintia Hills district was governed by the rules of the administration of justice and police prescribed by the Governor. The administration of justice in Khasi Hills for a long time was carried on according to customary law. There was no organised system of a police administration in the governing machinery of the Khasis.

Insurgency in Northeast India is expected to be useful to all those who are involved in the peace processes in Northeast India because a problem of its magnitude cannot be solved without understanding the root causes. The book brings into focus that there is nothing like a north eastern insurgency and that there are several autonomous or isolated insurgencies militancies and other movements in different parts and ethnic areas of the region which have created an atmosphere of turmoil or an insurgent situation for the entire region. The roots of the problem vary from secessionism to demands for state or sub state within India or regional autonomy for ethnic areas within the states or protection of ethnic areas within the states or protection of ethnic and cultural identities. The economic and infrastructural backwardness unemployment and lack of opportunities seemed to be common causes in almost all cases. The single common cause that is emphasized most is the indifferent attitude of the central government which failed tackle the problem of insurgency at its initial stage and allowed the dominant majority to threaten the cultural identity of the ethnic and linguistic minorities and is responsible for economic and infrastructural backwardness of the region unemployment and lack of opportunities frustration and disappointment of the youths a sense of deprivation in the masses ethnic discrimination insecurity and threatened identity among the minorities and many other related problems. The study recommends that each insurgency or militancy or movement should be taken up separately and its root causes identified to uproot those and to dawn peace in the region. 136 pp.

It has illustrated the judicial response to gender justice (gender issue) in favour of women by citing decisions of the Supreme Court of India.

The book has also dealt with women's inability to exercise a given right in certain circumstances and it has also referred to international instruments of women's rights and world conferences on the status of women and obstacles to the advancement of women and also measure for removal of those obstacles. 152 pp.

Despite all odds women in both the contexts have risen above diverse obstacles to campaign for women's rights and flight for the cause of women. They have initiated steps towards fostering an environment of understanding security and support for the women in their respective communities in spite of being caught in the complex vortex of the social imbroglio. 140 pp.

Fifty years ago in October 1956 the mighty Soviet Union invaded Hungary to crush a massive anti Soviet rebellion that rocked Budapest. Twelve years later Moscow repeated the same coercive and surgical measure in another country in Eastern Europe Czechoslovakia a member of Warsaw Treaty Organization living in the Soviet sphere of influence. This book is a full scale assessment based on original documents and secondary source materials of the US response to the two invasions to determine the efficacy of its policy of liberation of Eastern Europe. A great power despite its pronounced policy of waging a psychological warfare against its powerful adversary proved to be too weak to respond to the need of the hour to stall the Soviet invasions and to translate its policy of liberation into a reality when the opportune moment had appeared. It seeks to establish that tall but vague and false election promises during the 1952 Presidential election acted as an inducement to unarmed populace of Hungary to revolt against a mighty power that crushed the rebellion while the United States remained a silent spectator from a safe distance. It also analyzes America's response to the Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 when both the superpowers had by implications accepted their spheres of influence as a fait accompli. 236 pp.

Industrialization urbanization equation can hardly explain the growth of the urban spaces in most of the developing regions of the world in general and the underdeveloped areas within them in particular. The process of urbanization in such cases can best be explained in terms of social political and demographic forces rather than the forces of economics. Contributions in this volume have made an attempt to understand the nature of growth of the urban areas in relatively underdeveloped north eastern region of India where urban spaces being grafted primarily due to the spread of the administrative centers are devoid of any strong economic raison d'etre and hence informal sector has become the predominant source of urban livelihood. Attempts have been made to unravel the nexus between informality and poverty that reinforce each other in the urban labour market. Special efforts have been made to study the slums where urban poverty has been concentrated. As the management of slums has become an integral part of overall urban administration a number of contributors have pleaded for a better deal for the underprivileged slum dwellers. 292 pp.

Women's Rights in India A Feminist Perspective is a philosophically argued feminist critique on the rights of women in India. The book argues that while the Indian woman of the Vedic times was not an absolutely liberated woman she still enjoyed considerable freedom dignity and opportunities. Unfortunately in the later times woman's position in India progressively deteriorated and when the British came to rule the country she was considered to be a weak and frail creature who lived in the shadow of her husband and who had no identity except as the faithful enduring meek wife of a man. The author looks at this progressive deterioration of woman's status in India as a deliberate male agenda drawn from the socio political arrangement of patriarchy which used culture and religion as its finest ploy to subjugate women. This feminist perspective is not complete without showing the path ahead. The author argues the preferential treatment of women and protective discrimination in order to bridge the gap created by centuries of systematic inequality and for a rights based approach to the problem of women's equality in India besides pleading for a radical change in mindset both of men and women about women's rights and the protection of these rights through carefully planned laws and their enforcement through a functionally accessible and equitable judicial system. 204 pp.

No doubt the policy pursued during the last few decades has contributed in some measure to the strengthening of international cooperation and maintenance of regional as well as world peace but it has proved fatal in some respects. As in the context of current time i.e. the twenty first century diplomatic international relations are determined on the counts of economic interests national security and terrorism.

Human development is a powerful concept than conventional measure of Gross National Product (GNP) in understanding human well being. With the rejection of trickle down hypothesis rising disillusion with assumed positive association between growth and well being new insights gained in the relationship between growth and equity that nullifies the claim of negative relationship at least at early stage of growth the exploitation of the capability approach towards development and the emergence of the new growth theories that focus on the role of the human factor in economic growth all have brought a sharp focus on the human development as a necessary condition for sustainable growth. Contributions in this volume deal with different aspects of human development. Contributors have attempted to analyze the various linkages between globalization and human development environment and human development social capital and human development and education and human development.
