Rainbow Calling
Rainbow is calling to be in love when dreams no longer remain as dreams but take the shape of reality in thought and action.The book is an anthology of romantic stories depicting emotions that is the core of human relationships. There is a story of the fighting spirit of a girl who is the victim of child marriage and how she gains the love and support of a kind-hearted soul. A man’s confession of love to a woman after forty years who he loved since childhood. A tale of a transgender who is trying to carve a niche in society despite betrayal and social stigma. Adolescent love is reflected in another one. The meeting of two souls in pain against the backdrop of Nagaland is yet another effort to reflect on sublime love. Romance is not always love between two individuals but it could be with one’s penchant for the fulfilment of an incipient dream. Survival to keep the love alive is an effort to justify love in the true sense of the term.
Optimism Unveiled
The book, Optimism Unveiled, begins with an ode paying tribute to President Abdul Kalam whose dream was to see India shining in every field. ‘Hima’ is a poem to honour the achievements of the great athlete, Hima Das, whose life is a source of inspiration for all. The book has poems of varied tastes. The poems ‘Paradise’ and ‘Blend’ are experimental in a sense, as photographs of the talented photographer Sudip Bhattacharya are used to pen down romantic verses and poetry of peace. ‘I have a dream,’ based on the painting of a promising painter, Sejuti Biswas, is steeped in romantic bliss. ‘She’ is a poetic tale based on a real-life experience. ‘Four Feathers’ symbolises trauma of four women whose ultimate freedom lies in sharing and caring. ‘Mother’ portrays a woman’s helplessness followed by her fearless step to protect her girl child. The book ends with the message of freedom in ‘Bihanga’ (The Bird) based on dancer Alokananda Roy’s venture of initiating cultural therapy amongst prisoners by teaching them the art of dance.

Integrating the Third Tier in the Indian Federal System
This book discusses the evolution of the third tier of the Indian federal system, with a focus on rural local governance (commonly known as Panchayati Raj) against the backdrop of important theoretical and empirical literature on the relevance and effectiveness of service delivery in the decentralized system. It evaluates the quintessence of the functioning of the Panchayati Raj in the past two decades of its existence. This pioneering book also discusses the treatment of the third-tier government in the inter-governmental fiscal transfer framework and the delineation of the unique institution of local self-government in the Northeastern Indian States. In the light of the loosely evolved fiscal relations between three levels of government, it has been observed that local self-governments in the bottom tier have not been truly empowered yet. The book argues in favor of integrating the third-tier government into the Indian federal system and suggests how this could be achieved.
Between Hindu and Christian
Between Hindu and Christian sheds light on a movement of low caste and Dalit devotees worshipping Jesus in Catholic spaces in Varanasi, the purported heart of Hindu civilization. San Chirico examines the worldview and ways of life of these devotees, along with the Catholic priests and nuns who mediate Jesus, Mary, and other members of the Catholic pantheon in a place never associated with Christianity. San Chirico places this movement within the context of the devotional history of Varanasi, the history of Indian Christianity, the rise of low caste and Dalit emancipatory struggles, and the ascendance of Hindu nationalism to demonstrate that religious categories are not nearly as distinct as they often seem.
