Nagin
Loving wife, obedient daughter, loyal friend. But if you provoke her, she will raise her hood and spit venom. A woman is stalked by a man she had once rejected. A housewife discovers a plot to kill her husband. A blind young girl is chased by an underworld gang. A woman is abused by her husband and spied on by her neighbour. But these are no ordinary women. Some of them aren t even women. In these macabre stories you will find beings that are both human and cobra the ichhadhari nags and nagins who are fierce in their love and ruthless in their revenge. And they are not the only abnormals that live among us: beautiful vish kanyas whose bodies secrete poison, powerful babas who practice black magic, shape-shifting jackals that feast on human heart and liver, fearsome half-human hunters who kill mercilessly and hideous vidrupas who can unhinge you with a kiss. You have been warned.
The Story of God
The universe that we see is real and it has been functioning in an orderly manner since the times immemorial. It is, thus, logical to believe that its Creator and Caretaker also has to be a reality. However, the God who has made man and all else is beyond all history. All that we know about His story is His creation. Beyond that we know nothing. However, man has created many Gods after his own image out of his imagination. These man-made Gods do have a story hardly about four thousand years old. Since religions have God or at least spirituality at their core, these also needed to be given a hearing in this work. This book is an intellectually stimulating account of what various faiths talk about God.
Peer review in scientific publications
This report indicates that the oversight of research integrity in the UK is unsatisfactory.

The report examines the current peer-review system as used in scientific publications and the related issues of research impact, data management, publication ethics and research integrity.

The Indo-Aryan Languages
The Indo-Aryan languages are spoken by at least 700 million people throughout India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Maldive Islands. They have a claim to great antiquity, with the earliest Vedic Sanskrit texts dating to the end of the second millennium B.C. With texts in Old Indo-Aryan, Middle Indo-Aryan and Modern Indo-Aryan, this language family supplies a historical documentation of language change over a longer period than any other subgroup of Indo-European. This volume is divided into two main sections dealing with general matters and individual languages. Each chapter on the individual language covers the phonology and grammar (morphology and syntax) of the language and its writing system, and gives the historical background and information concerning the geography of the language and the number of its speakers.
The Origin of Religions
THE BOOK: The book is an open-eyed journey through the mystic world of faith. It is an intellectually stimulating account of the birth of religions. As animal, for definite, have no religions and intelligence is the dividing line between man and animal, it should be amply clear that religions have risen out the thinking faculty of man. These are about God and His creation alright, but not from God, though human brain itself is a gift from God. The book traces the story of religions from the earliest times and tries to reach to the core of all major belief systems of the world. Towards the end, it draws a sort of balance-sheet of the religions to form an idea what good and bad these have done to the mankind. An effort has also been made to have a peep into their future.
