Biodiversity
Conservation of biodiversity is a fundamental concern towards securing a sustainable future. This volume argues that despite various domestic and international policies and legal frameworks on biodiversity conservation -- be it forest, wildlife, marine, coastal, etc. -- their implementation suffers from many deficiencies. It explores the factors that hinder effective implementation of these policies and frameworks. It also analyses existing laws, both international and domestic, to identify inherent problems in the existing legal system. The book maintains that careful adherence to established procedures and protocols, public awareness, filling the lacuna in legal framework, and a strong pol...
Prism Me a Lie Tell Me A Truth: Tehelka as Metaphor
In March 2001, the website Tehelka broke Operation West End, the biggest undercover news story in Indian journalism. Using spycams and masquerading as arms dealers, Tehelka's reporters infiltrated the Indian government, bribed army officers, gave money to the president of the ruling party and the defence minister's close colleague right in the defence minister's residence. This eventually forced both the ministers'resignations. In a rigorously researched and searing authentic account of the Tehelka expose and its aftermath, Madhu Trehan does a forensic study of the imperatives at the root of it, the characters and heroes and villains of the story, and of how the system got back: by obfuscating, by attempting to destroy the investors without leaving any footprints. In the style of Rashomon, the story is related by numerous participants of the same incidents and, of course, none of the stories tally. With exhaustive personal interviews, this is a must-read for anybody who wants to understand modern India - or even better, modern international journalism.

Police Discretion in India
This book is the first empirical study of police discretion in India. Going beyond anecdotal accounts, it addresses the issues and concerns of arrest discretion behaviour of police with analysis of available literature internationally, testing the validity in the context of police in India and explaining the gap that exists between the legislative intent and field law enforcement. It establishes how extralegal determinants like subculture, environment and situations influence arrest discretion as much as legal determinants such as statutes, rules, manuals and court rulings. It also provides vital explanations on the working of the police system in India. The volume will be of great interest to policymakers, police leaders, officers of judiciary, scholars and researchers of criminology and criminal justice, sociology and social anthropology and South Asian studies.
Dhobi Girl
Starting from a colony of labourers, Anuja and Ratna make it good in life, both becoming reputed doctors in different fields. The developments in Ratna’s life have far-reaching consequences on that of Anuja, though she has chosen to tread a path of her own. The kaleidoscope of life draws many people into the ambit of Anuja’s and Ratna’s lives. Chief among them are Devi, Ratna’s wife, and Jay, the young woman he tumbles into love with, and the children he has through them both. And all through their lives runs the evil presence of Nathaniel. From the struggle for life in the labour colony, we are transported to the professional successes in Chennai, from the peace of an Edinburgh hideaway to the deathly cold of the Swiss Alps, from the mystical piety of the banks of the Ganga to the tension-filled operation theatre. There’s murder, there’s rape, there’s sacrifice, there’s scheming, there’s forgiveness, and above all, there’s love. The details dovetail to make a comprehensive, comprehensible plot of the joys and sorrows of life, of despair, resilience and resurgence.
