Anushka Parashar is a doctor with a private practice in the field of infectious diseases. She is busy with her life, and happy with her aspiring-model-and-gym-trainer boyfriend, Yash. Aneri Shah is a happy-go-lucky plastic surgeon, recently relocated from Mumbai to Delhi, as life goes on with her boyfriend and techie Abhinav, in tow. A chance encounter changes their lives – but the changed lives aren’t just the four of theirs. They embark on a journey that would change the course of the future of their nation and of the people. They take on a fight that is beyond the armchair, and call in question one of the world’s oldest criminal legislations.
International Development
Whether understood as a long-run historical process or an intentional political project, international development transforms not only societies and economies but also key ideas about how the world works and how problems should be solved. In this compelling book, Michael Woolcock demonstrates that achieving peace and prosperity for all is supremely contingent and often contentious: the means and ends of development are often perceived as alien, unjust, and disruptive, its benefits and costs unequally borne. Many development challenges are not technical problems amenable to an expert’s solution, but require extensive deliberation to find and fit context-specific responses. Woolcock insists that it is each generation’s challenge to find shared, legitimate, and durable solutions to the moral imperative to reduce human suffering while simultaneously redressing the challenges that development success (let alone failure) inexorably brings. This skillful guide will be essential reading for students and practitioners working in this complex field, and for anyone seeking to help “make the world a better place.”
The Complexities of Race

Intended to foster the synergies between research and education, the conference is one of the joint activities of the BITS Pilani and TU Braunschweig conducted under the auspices of Indo-German Center for Sustainable Manufacturing, established in 2009. The book is divided into three sections: engineering, education and entrepreneurship, covering a range of topics, such as renewable energy forecasting, design & simulation, Industry 4.0, and soft & intelligent sensors for energy efficiency. It also includes case studies on lean and green manufacturing, and life cycle analysis of ceramic products, as well as papers on teaching/learning methods based on the use of learning factories to improve students’problem-solving and personal skills. Moreover, the book discusses high-tech ideas to help the large number of unemployed engineering graduates looking for jobs become tech entrepreneurs. Given its broad scope, it will appeal to academics and industry professionals alike.
Coming to Terms with a Crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic hit the world as a (purportedly) novel situation with which people struggled to come to terms. The contributions to this volume show how various actors reacted to this pandemic through specific forms of representation and storytelling in popular culture, public discourse, and science communication. They demonstrate how these representations both leverage new media and resort to familiar scripts and characters to make sense of the situation. Thus, they uncover the transformative potential of narratives about epi-/pandemics across different domains and their contribution to the production of knowledge as well as the recalibration of norms and values.
Developing Political Leadership Skills
While many people have the passion and drive to become political leaders, not all of them develop the skills needed to make sure their voices are heard and their issues are taken seriously.

Sidebars provide examples of young activists who have created change in their own communities, illustrating that people of all ages can be political leaders.
