Herbs of Tribal Land Jharkhand, India
This book is an attempt in compiling all such available information based on the critical study of literature till date, and, on the interactions of the author with the indigenous people during his more than three decades of association with the forest and the people of the area. The necessity for such an attempt, for a specific region, rich both in MAP as well as the tribal, in whom the available knowledge has been concisely recorded, was keenly felt to provide guidance to the future researchers in objective ethnobotany (OE) as well as in indigenous drugs. This book is also intended for the forest officers, who faces numerous enquiries addressed to them by quoting names in local languages; and more often than not they are faced with a dialemna as to how to locate this plant even though the particular plant may be in his vicinity. Hence, names in different languages have been indexed for both the researchers in OE and for the forest officers, as well as for the amateurs.
Language, Identity and Contemporary Society
This book explores the instrumentality of language in constructing identity in contemporary society. The processes of globalization, hyper-mobility, rapid urbanization, and the increasing desire of local populations to be linked to the global community have created a pressing need to reconfigure identity in this new world order. Following the digital revolution, both traditional and new media are dissolving linguistic boundaries. The centrality of language in organizing communities and groups cannot be overstated: our social order is developed alongside our linguistic allegiance, shared narratives, collective memories, and common social history. Keeping in mind the fluidity of identity, the book brings together fourteen chapters providing cultural and social perspectives. The ideas reflected here draw on a range of disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, the politics of language, and linguistic identity.

The God of Small Things
Still, to say that it all began when Sophie Mol came to Ayemenem is only one way of looking at it . . . It could be argued that it actually began thousands of years ago. Long before the Marxists came. Before the British took Malabar, before the Dutch Ascendancy, before Vasco da Gama arrived, before the Zamorin’s conquest of Calicut. Before Christianity arrived in a boat and seeped into Kerala like tea from a teabag. That it really began in the days when the Love Laws were made. The laws that lay down who should be loved, and how. And how much.
Electoral Narratives of Democracy and Governance in India
The book examines the influence of context in which elections in contemporary India take place. It explores the interplay of elements of democracy and governance in electioneering—a process of the conglomeration of everything related to the election, including campaigns, approach of political parties, approach of election commission, code of conduct, election manifestos, voting and—message-design of electoral communication in India. The volume: • Is founded on a variety of conceptual approaches: political economy approach, public sphere approach, community and context approach, federalism approach, institutional approach, and cultural approach. • Draws on qualitative and quantitative...
