The Sinful Silence
When the corpse of an eminent businesswoman is found in a lavish suite locked from inside, Noida police is baffled. They cannot find any trace of foul play at the crime scene. As the rookie IPS officer Vayu Iyer investigates the complex crime, he finds an open-ended suspect pool. It could be the victim’s ex-lover, jealous college friends, the parasitic husband or one of her innumerable flings. Braving tremendous pressure from the government to close the case quickly, he follows every lead, only to reach a dead end. His journey becomes harder under the supervision of a corrupt, grumpy, drug-addict DCP who is on a killing spree to avenge the murder of his fiancée, pitted against a powerful crime-syndicate. Will Vayu crack the first high-profile case of his career? The Sinful Silence is an action-packed story of chasing the truth, avenging loss and twisted relationships.

The State Practice of India and the Development of International Law
The State Practice of India and the Development of International Law by Bimal N. Patel provides a critical analysis of India’s state practice and development of international law. Providing insight into the historical evolution of Indian state practice from pre-1945 period through the 21st century, the work meticulously and systematically examines the interpretation and execution of international law by national legislative executive and judicial organs individually as well as collectively. The author demonstrates India’s ambitions as a rising global power and emerging role in shaping international affairs, and convincingly argues how India will continue to resist and prevent consolidation of Euro-American centric influence of international law in areas of her political, economic and culture influence.
Communal Violence, Forced Migration and the State
When violence occurs in democracies it is often characterized as an aberration. The state that saw human rights violations and failure of law and order in Gujarat in 2002 emerged, even if by its own admission, as a model for good governance. Communal Violence, Forced Migration and the State, through an account of displaced Muslims, challenges this notion. Through the unlikely yet probing lens of displacement, it offers fresh insight into communal violence and is an important resource for the emerging domain of forced migration and the changing nature of the state in a globalized world.

Historicizing Myths in Contemporary India
This book examines cinematic practices in Bollywood as narratives that assist in shaping the imagination of the age, especially in contemporary India. It examines historical films released in India since the new millennium and analyses cinema as a reflection of the changing socio-political and economic conditions at any given period. The chapters in Historicizing Myths in Contemporary India: Cinematic Representations and Nationalist Agendas in Hindi Cinemas also illuminate different perspectives on how cinematic historical representations follow political patterns and market compulsions, giving precedence to a certain past over the other, creating a narrative suited for the dominant narrative of the present. From Mughal-e-Azam to Padmaavat, and Bajirao Mastani to Raazi, the chapters show how creating history out of myths validate hegemonic identities in a rapidly evolving Indian society. The volume will be of interest to scholars of film and media studies, literature and culture studies, and South Asian studies.
