About the Book A SEARING ACCOUNT OF 1984, PACKED WITH STORIES AND MEMORIES. ‘I want sukh, peace,’ said Shanti. She had watched her three sons, one of them an infant, and husband torched alive by marauding mobs. The sixty-five-year-old Sikh woman from a west Delhi slum said that the police had inserted a stick inside her. The distraught man spoke a single sentence but repeated it twice in chaste Punjabi: ‘Please give me a turban. I want nothing else.’ In the aftermath of Indira Gandhi’s assassination in 1984, 2,733 Sikhs were burnt, stabbed, beaten and otherwise hunted to their deaths across Delhi. Many of them were children. Several hundreds were killed elsewhere in the country. Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay uses personal histories to expose the truth of a state-sponsored riot: the thousands of lives that were destroyed, the cruel apathy of subsequent governments, the lack of reparations, the denial of justice. Poignant and raw, Sikhs: The Untold Agony of 1984 lays bare the innards of one of the most shameful episodes of sectarian violence in post-Independence India.

Established in 1960, Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry is the definitive serial in the area-one of great importance to organic chemists, polymer chemists and many biological scientists. Written by established authorities in the field, the comprehensive reviews combine descriptive chemistry and mechanistic insight and yield an understanding of how the chemistry drives the properties.

This volume combines some of the most influential published research in this emerging field with newly commissioned essays on the issues, problems and lessons involved in collaborating museums and source communities. Focusing on museums in the UK, North America and the Pacific, the book highlights three areas which demonstrate the new developments most clearly: the museum as field site or 'contact zone' - a place which source community members enter for purposes of consultation and collaboration visual repatriation - the use of photography to return images of ancestors, historical moments and material heritage to source communities exhibition case studies - these are discussed to reveal the implications of cross-cultural and collaborative research for museums, and how such projects have challenged established attitudes and practices. As the first overview of its kind, this collection will be essential reading for museum staff working with source communities, for community members involved with museum programmes, and for students and academics in museum studies and social anthropology.
Articles chiefly on the dance styles accompanying Maharas, a form of Rāsalīlā, Vaishnava drama, from Manipur, India, and the contribution of Sija Laioibi, b. 1771, Vaishnava woman saint and princess from the royal state.
"Akashvani" (English) is a programme journal of ALL INDIA RADIO, it was formerly known as The Indian Listener. It used to serve the listener as a bradshaw of broadcasting ,and give listener the useful information in an interesting manner about programmes, who writes them, take part in them and produce them along with photographs of performing artists. It also contains the information of major changes in the policy and service of the organisation. The Indian Listener (fortnightly programme journal of AIR in English) published by The Indian State Broadcasting Service, Bombay, started on 22 December, 1935 and was the successor to the Indian Radio Times in English, which was published beginning ...
Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry: Roadmaps, Volume 62 highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters written by an international board of authors.

The Indian Army has fought many battles in the 52 years since independence. Most of them were fought against Pakistan. Some of these were fought against the Chinese, some against the LITE, some against Nizam of Hyderabad and some against the Portuguese in Goa. Some were fought in the mountains of Kashmir. Sikkim or Arunachal Pradesh. Some were fought in the deserts of Rajasthan. Some were fought with adequate resources and after deliberate planning and preparations while others were fought under desperate situations with whatever could be mustered to thwart a superior enemy. Some of these battles have been won, some lost and others ended in stalemate. Aspiring generals and students of milita...
Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) are materials that can be tailored to achieve specific properties, influenced by fabrication techniques. "Metal Matrix Composites: Fabrication, Production and 3D Printing" cover various aspects of fabrication, production and new manufacturing techniques including research and development. It includes conventional fabrication techniques and methods required to synthesize micro/nano MMCs. Multivariate approach required to optimize production including development of complex geometries is explained as well. Features: Provides in-depth information on fabrication, production, and advanced manufacturing of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs). Details about matrix, reinforcement, and application-oriented fabrication processes. Emphasizes on advance processing methods like metal 3D printing, additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques. Provides comprehensive record of fabrication development in MMCs. Focus on materials and application-based processing techniques. This book aims at graduate students, researchers and professionals in micro/nano science and technology, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, metallurgy, and composites.
