From Gloom to Glory
Hockey threw him into ignominy and then suddenly made him famous. This is the dramatic life of goalkeeper Mir Ranjan Negi who was the much- lauded coach of the cast of the film Chak De India made by Yash Raj Films. His account of his fall from grace on national television in front of a whole nation, in the finals against Pakistan in the Delhi Asiad, is as moving as his fight for his redemption. The book holds out some hope that hockey can regain the glory it once enjoyed in the world arena. A truly inspiring book about sportsmanship and the doughty wielders of the hockey stick which one hopes will shake a one-game obsessed nation into sitting up and noticing the unsung heroes our national sport.

Reaping Rewards
Reaping Rewards! Personally, I believe that each one of us has a story to tell at every stage of our lives! I don’t expect anyone to narrate every detail of their lives right from school to the profession! Reaping Rewards is just a fun thing wherein people expressed their inner feelings and happenings that they encountered and wished to share. The reading habit of people is diminishing. So, this was in-fact a massive attempt at encouraging people to write and read as well. The best encouragement for writers is when others read, appreciate, and maybe share their views on the writings. Reaping Rewards deals with Success achieved after struggles, one has a lot of inspiration and positive vibes to take away from each story. When one writes, one expresses; When one expresses, one feels elated; When one feels elated, one experiences true happiness! So, they wrote, they shared, they inspired … and spread happiness!

Media, the State and Marginalisation
The media has a close relationship with socio-cultural and political systems in today’s society. This relationship both offers the potential to tackle the various challenges associated with inequality and, at the same time, creates a nexus with the elite classes of society to keep the marginalized away from the mainstream. This complex relationship between the media, state and the marginalized becomes more complex and interesting in the Indian context, where we find diversity not only in groups and communities, but also in power-relations. This book, containing twenty-one chapters and an editorial introduction, thus, deals with Indian perspectives in relation to the media, the state and the marginalized sections of society. This book will be of interest to academics, scholars and students of social sciences, especially in the fields of media studies, political science and sociology. It will also be useful for the people working in the media industry.

Without in any way changing the central arguments of the first edition, it adds an essential introductory chapter tracking the tectonic shifts in the Indian "mediascape" over the past decade – incl...
