Perilous Destiny
Rohini Jhulka, an unwed mother of twins, Nidhi and Akriti, lived in Mumbai and worked as a school teacher. The demure woman once worked as a data collector in Jakarta, Indonesia, where her co-worker and the company CEO enticed her into the illicit trade of pornography, arms and ammunition, and drug trafficking, which landed her in prison.

Before reaching India, Rohini stole a 'blue file,' unaware that this would lead to her continued torment. Many years after, she was kidnapped by her former tormenters and flown to Uzbekistan. Meanwhile, Rohini's daughters...
I Wasn't Born For This
Lieutenant’s disposition was not to spare anyone this time. With electrifying rapidity, she gripped his hand and pulled him all over her shoulder; which neared him towards her lifted knees, gave him the hardest blow on his groins. The man was taken aback. Not expecting this to come to him, fell on the floor holding his groins with both his hands and yelling in pain. Before anyone could know what happened; she flew in air with her right leg stretched at front and the left bent slightly, landed with a flying kick on the face of one of the ladies. The lady fell on the ground. The other lady wanted to take a hold of her but Lieutenant proved too fast for her. She had snatched the flashlight fr...

Sex Trafficking in Southeast Asia
This book brings an important new perspective to the study of sex trafficking by considering the different types of social contracts which existed in the past that had sexual labour or activity as an inherent component. It outlines the nature of these social institutions – marriage, temporary marriage, debt bondage, and slavery – which were recognized in local law, carried no stigma, and endured for long periods. It discusses how labour pledged in return for a loan of cash or as a result of a punishment dictated by the state often included sexual labour, and how this could take the form of servicing the master of the house, his guests, or foreign travellers, who paid the debt-holder for ...
Global Healthcare Disasters
The recent COVID-19 global pandemic exemplifies the need for efficient, reliable, and real-time tools and technology for forecasting and predicting healthcare disasters as well as for helping to restrict the subsequent spread and fatality of deadly diseases. This new book discusses many of the innovative and state-of-the-art tools and technology that can help meet the challenges of predicting such disasters. The chapters offer a plethora of useful information for designing healthcare disaster management systems that can be dynamically configurable with implementation of today’s modern technology, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, IoT, data analytics, and machine learning. T...
The Social History of Health and Medicine in Colonial India
This book analyzes the diverse facets of the social history of health and medicine in colonial India. It explores a unique set of themes that capture the diversities of India, such as public health, medical institutions, mental illness and the politics and economics of colonialism. Based on inter-disciplinary research, the contributions offer valuable insight into topics that have recently received increased scholarly attention, including the use of opiates and the role of advertising in driving medical markets. The contributors, both established and emerging scholars in the field, incorporate sources ranging from palm leaf manuscripts to archival materials. This book will be of interest to scholars of history, especially the history of medicine and the history of colonialism and imperialism, sociology, social anthropology, cultural theory, and South Asian Studies, as well as to health workers and NGOs.
Indian Emission Norms and Practices
In India, vehicle emission standards were implemented in 1991 for gasoline vehicles and in 1992 for diesel vehicles. Since 2000, Euro standards have been followed in India under the name Bharat Stage Emission Standards for four-wheeled vehicles. Since October 2010, Bharat Stage III norms have been implemented throughout India. Bharat Stage IV norms have been in effect in a few cities since April 2010. Bharat Stage IV is expected to be implemented throughout India by April 2017. It is already in use in 13 major cities. Upgrading the emission standards necessitates the upgrading of manufacturing companies' technology, which raises the cost of the vehicle. One of the main reasons for the slow upgrade of emission standards is cost. However, there are some who argue that the cost increase is offset by cost savings in health care because the pollutants that cause disease are reduced as emission standards are raised. Fuels are also important in meeting these emission standards. Fuel specifications have also been aligned with the corresponding European production norms.
Nationalizing the Body
This book seeks to move emphasis away from the over-riding importance given to the state in existing studies of 'western' medicine in India, and locates medical practice within its cultural, social and professional milieus. Based on Bengali doctors writings this book examines how various medical problems, challenges and debates were understood and interpreted within overlapping contexts of social identities and politics on the one hand, and their function within a largely unregulated medical market on the other.
Doing the Hard Work
One of the best ways to encourage women to enter or continue in engineering is to hear about and see examples of other women in the field to whom they can relate. Joan Wills and Karen Ramsey-Idem bring together diverse, talented women across the commercial vehicle industry to share her unique experiences including the habits, motivations, triumphs, defeats, and lessons learned that helped each thrive in her leadership roles. These leaders represent three different generations across U.S., Europe, Africa and Asia. Doing the Hard Work provides insights that have relevance for women at all stages in their careers, whether its young women interested in pursuing a career in the auto industry, those looking for their next strategic move, or those seeking insight and inspiration.

The Universal Link
Referred by his close confidante and once colleague Mahesh Sahay, Doctor Anand Kashyap, a young and vibrant molecular biologist associated with the Indian National Academy of Sciences, was asked to be part of one of the Indian Navy’s most unique and ambitious projects, ‘Operation Samudradristi.’ What was to be a dreary advisory role for Anand, metamorphosed into the discovery of an ancient tool lying dormant in the blue abyss of the Arabian Sea – a tool capable of deciding the fate of anything living… Two thousand miles away and ten years earlier, that something had woken up. An age-old parasite had found its way into the blood of the masters of the earth. For millions of years, th...
