Fragile Urban Governance
Urbanization is giving rise to a vibrant and volatile urban India. The urban local self-government (ULSG) is struggling to provide efficient, effective, inclusive and responsive urban services. Most ULSGs are too fragile to perform the mandated functions for enhancing the quality of life and making cities and towns livable. The book traces evolution of ULSGs, its decline after Independence, and steps taken to strengthen them, especially through the big-bang decentralization initiative of 1992 for their empowerment, by enacting the 74th Constitution Amendment Act (74th CAA).

Bihar Days
Prior to 1947, the Maithil Brahmans dominated North Bihar culturally, politically, and economically. Darbhanga Raj, the richest zamindari estate in British India, was owned by a family of the elite sub-group of Brahmans, the Srotriyas. The high prestige of this elite was based on a lifestyle prescribed by ancient law codes involving simplicity of life, daily Vedic rites, and intermarriage within a small network of lineages 24 generations deep. It was a highly conservative, inward-looking, isolationist community.

Comparative Study of Northeastern Folklore and Modern Literary Works
Northeast India is a region literally derived from myths and folklore, with tall mountains and massive rivers; it is a storehouse of natural beauty. It is a veritable hub of bio-cultural diversity. Faunal and floral diversity is richest in as bio diverse as a country like India. More than a hundred languages are spoken in this small geographical region, giving rise to immense possibilities for imagination and diverse thought processes. This work explores the folklores from Northeast India echoing strong thematic resemblance with modern literary works including those by authors as valued as Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Shakespeare, D H Lawrence and so on. It does come as a happy surprise that an assortment of people living in the economically backward region and perhaps the last one to be touched by modernism have literary traditions that match some of the best known literary works in their philosophical depth and scope. Hope this work generates greater interest in this region and a lot more people will explore it to comprehend its cultural and literary richness.
