Swayambhuva Manu ruled the earth for years. The subjects were happy and prosperous in their kingdom. They wrote 'Manusmriti', which is not found in its original form today. Lord Vishnu is the supreme worshiped deity of the Hindus. His glory has been described in detail in religious texts. There is a description of Lord Vishnu taking twenty-four incarnations for the welfare of the people. Among these, 10 incarnations are considered especially important and completely dedicated themselves to the betterment of the world. Lord Rama and Krishna are two such human incarnations of Lord Vishnu, who lived their lives like ordinary human beings and set exemplary examples for humans.

A major part of the world's population is bi- or multilingual. Since code-switching is common practice in bilinguals' speech, even various commercial disciplines are becoming increasingly interested in this phenomenon and its underlying mechanisms and effects. Sociolinguistic research, which aims at determining how code-switching creates social meaning and which discourse functions it serves, represents an important field of code-switching research. While all of South Asia is characterised by bi- or multilingualism, there is probably no multilingual society more complex than the Indian one. Apart from the two national languages English and Hindi, more than 100 distinct languages are spoken in the country, with permanent code-switching between several of these languages being an established and accepted practice. This book discusses the different sociolinguistic code-switching theories and their applicability to the Indian context. It then studies English-Hindi code-switching and analyzes the findings against the background of the different theories. The book is aimed both at sociolinguists as well as laypersons interested in the amazing Indian multilingual environment.

Srinagar, capital city of the famed ‘paradise on earth’, Kashmir. Ailan Gali, a deep, dark narrow lane that lies at its heart, where houses stand on a finger’s width of space and lean crookedly against each other, so deep, so narrow, so closely connected that even thieves do not dare enter. Yet people live and love here, they cling on to their old ways, they share stories and food, joys and sorrows, sufficient unto themselves. But the outside world beckons, youngsters begin to leave, and slowly change makes its way into Ailan Gali only to find its hitherto hidden mirror-image – the change that has insidiously been working its way into the lives of those who are the gali’s permanent residents. This funny, poignant, evocative story of a Kashmir as yet untouched by violence – but with its shadows looming at the edges – is a classic of Hindi literature, available in English translation for the first time.
