1 Life… (Twice)2
One Life (Twice)2 is about the four new chances at life that I have got. Having been diagnosed with bipolar depression, psychosis, mild agoraphobia, panic attacks and anxiety disorder, this book talks about my journey as a fighter rather than a survivor. It also talks about certain self-help mechanisms, some insights about how people around us can support us, certain questions that people like us usually wonder about, the stigmas, dilemmas, superstitions, taboos that revolve around mental illness and the importance of seeking medical help. It becomes quite a challenge to ascertain that the time hasn’t ended for us, and this revelation occurred to me when I reflected on the saying, “Life is precious.” It was then that I realised that I have to save myself first and not end my life if I wanted to share my story and make people discern that they sure have company on the cruise. “Hope might lose a life, but life will never lose hope,” this is my mantra which helps me fight every second of life... ARK is the acronym of my name and I decipher it as, Acceptance, Reflection and being a Knight in the quest for learning life.

Implementing the Forest Rights Act:
Historically, usage of and access to forest resources by India’s Adivasi community and other forest dwellers have been considered encroachment and their efforts to acquire forest land have been used as evidence of their anti-development attitude. Government policy has continued to deny them legal rights to use, manage and conserve forest resources and to hold forest lands that they have been residing on and cultivating. In 2006, the passage of the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dweller’s (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act (hereafter FRA) tried to make amends by recognizing the customary rights of forest dwellers, including the right over common areas and the right to manage and sell forest produce. However, the overall implementation of FRA still suffers from inadequate community awareness; conflicting legislation; the lack of a dedicated structure for implementation and devoted staff; administrative roadblocks to smooth processing of claims; and a governance deficit.

Education and Inequality in India
Universalization of primary education has been high on the policy agenda in India. This book looks at the reproduction of social inequalities within the educational system in India, and how this is contested in different ways. It examines whether the concept of `education for all’ is just a mechanically conceived policy target to chasing enrolment and attendance or whether it is a larger social goal and a deeper political statement about the need for attacking entrenched social inequalities. Drawing on original data collected in the two states of Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, the authors present the multiple ways in which social class impinges on the educational system, educational proce...
Claiming India from Below
Going beyond electoral politics and government, this volume broadens the scope of the functioning of democracy in India, and explores citizens’ role in the implementation of public policy. It looks at the ways in which extra-parliamentary power monitoring devices such as public institutions, citizens’ associations or assemblies, and the mainstream and emerging forms of the media, permeate through the political order. The volume: • brings participation and communication in governance and policy making to the centrestage; • examines case studies of state and citizen engagement from across India; and • presents perspectives of practitioners, activists and scholars to provide a comprehensive view of the debates surrounding the idea of Indian democracy. This book will be useful to scholars and researchers in politics, political science, media studies, public administration, sociology and social anthropology, as well as the interested general reader.
