Recent Advances in Mechanical Engineering
This book presents selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Innovative Technologies in Mechanical Engineering (ITME) 2019. The book discusses a wide range of topics in mechanical engineering such as mechanical systems, materials engineering, micro-machining, renewable energy, systems engineering, thermal engineering, additive manufacturing, automotive technologies, rapid prototyping, computer aided design and manufacturing. This book, in addition to assisting students and researchers working in various areas of mechanical engineering, can also be useful to researchers and professionals working in various allied and interdisciplinary fields.
Perspectives of Mutual Encounters in South Asian History
The reciprocal relationship between colonialists and the colonised people of India, during the crucial period from 1760 to 1860, provides fascinating study material. This edited volume explores cultural colonialism by focussing on the ambivalent processes of reciprocal perceptions.
We Were Adivasis
Anthropologist Megan Moodie examines the Indian state's relationship to 'scheduled tribes', or adivasis - historically oppressed groups that are now entitled to affirmative action quotas in educational and political institutions. Through a deep ethnography of the Dhanka in Jaipur, Moodie brings readers inside the creative imaginative work of these long-marginalised tribal communities.
Slavery, Abolitionism and Empire in India, 1772-1843
In Slavery, Abolitionism and Empire in India, 1772–1843, Andrea Major asks why, at a time when the East India Company's expansion in India, British abolitionism, and the missionary movement were all at their height, was the existence of slavery in India so often ignored, denied, or excused? By exploring Britain's ambivalent relationship with both real and imagined slaveries in India and the official, evangelical, and popular discourses that surrounded them, she seeks to uncover the various political, economic, and ideological agendas that allowed East Indian slavery to be represented as qualitatively different from its transatlantic counterpart.
Hindu Kingship and Polity in Precolonial India
A fascinating 2003 study of the precolonial kingdom of Kota through its historical documents.
Music and Musicians in Late Mughal India
Based on a vast, virtually unstudied archive of Indian writings alongside visual sources, this book presents the first history of music and musicians in late Mughal India c.1748–1858 and takes the lives of nine musicians as entry points into six prominent types of writing on music in Persian, Brajbhasha, Urdu and English, moving from Delhi to Lucknow, Hyderabad, Jaipur and among the British. It shows how a key Mughal cultural field responded to the political, economic and social upheaval of the transition to British rule, while addressing a central philosophical question: can we ever recapture the ephemeral experience of music once the performance is over? These rich, diverse sources shine new light on the wider historical processes of this pivotal transitional period, and provide a new history of music, musicians and their audiences during the precise period in which North Indian classical music coalesced in its modern form.

Recent Advances in Machines and Mechanisms
This book presents the proceedings of 5th International and 20th National Conference on Machines and Mechanisms (iNaCoMM 2021) held at PDPM IIITDM Jabalpur during 9-11 December 2021. The conference was held in collaboration with the Association of Machines and Mechanisms (AMM) India and International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine sciences (IFToMM). Various topics covered in this book include kinematics and dynamics of machines, compliant mechanisms; gear, cams and power transmission systems; mechanisms and machines for rural, agricultural and industrial applications; mechanisms for space applications; mechanisms for energy harvesting; robotics and automation; human-centric robotics; soft robotics; man-machine system, mechatronics and micro–mechanisms; CAD and CAGD; control of machines; vibration of machines & rotor dynamics; acoustic and noise; tribology; condition monitoring and failure analysis; fault diagnosis and health monitoring; biomedical engineering; and composites and advanced materials. Given the contents, the book will be useful for researchers and professionals working in the various domains of mechanical engineering.
Serving Empire, Serving Nation
James Tod’s Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan was crucial in forming the modern image of the Rājpūt, a princely “martial” caste resident in India’s northwest desert. This book explores the relationships between the political power of the British imperial state, the construction of historical memories in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the uses of these constructions by European writers and Indian nationalist elites. The case of the Rajputs demonstrates how imperial histories reflected Indian social processes and pre-colonial forms of knowledge, interpreted India for the world outside and for Indians themselves. This book explores the multiple discourses within Tod’s Rajasthan, and European Orientalism, to show how intricately coded the British Empire was and, historically, remains.
