In India, over 90,000 men die by suicide every year. Fathers are separated from their children by biased courts. Men from Dalit and working-class backgrounds languish in custody under laws designed to protect but routinely weaponised. Yet their pain is invisible — dismissed as privilege, mocked as weakness, or simply erased.
Men, Marx, and Misunderstanding refuses that erasure.

In India, over 90,000 men die by suicide every year. Fathers are separated from their children by biased courts. Men from Dalit and working-class backgrounds languish in custody under laws designed to protect but routinely weaponised. Yet their pain is invisible — dismissed as privilege, mocked as weakness, or simply erased.
Men, Marx, and Misunderstanding refuses that erasure.
Written by a former legal activist with SIFF and trained in law and psychology, this book applies Marxist class analysis to the Men's Rights Movement in India and beyond — arguing that gender wars are a weapon of capitalist patriarchy, not a solution to it. Section 498A, carceral feminism, media vilification, Dalit incarceration, father alienation: each is examined with rigour, compassion, and political clarity.
This is not a book against women. It is a book against a system that exploits everyone.
Includes practical legal toolkits, policy reform proposals, feminist and MRM primers, a full timeline of gender law in India, and data on law misuse.
Essential reading for activists, students, policymakers, lawyers, and anyone who believes justice must be indivisible.

India is home to one of the richest concentrations of ancient monuments in the world, temples, forts, mosques, tombs, palaces, and archaeological sites that span more than five thousand years of continuous civilisation. Many of them are under serious threat. This book is a comprehensive yet accessible overview of how India's built heritage is identified, protected, and restored, and the principles, organisations, and techniques that make this work possible.
The book covers the full landscape of heritage conservation in India: the foundational principles drawn from international charters including the Venice Charter (1964), the Burra Charter, and the Nara Document on Authenticity; the history and conservation policy of the Archaeological Survey of India; the work of INTACH in protecting unprotected monuments; and the architectural traditions — Nagara, Dravida, Kalinga, and Mughal — that conservators must understand before intervening in a monument.
It also addresses the most pressing contemporary challenges: the growing use of digital technologies such as 3D laser scanning, LiDAR, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality in modern conservation; the accelerating damage caused by climate change to coastal temples, desert forts, and ancient stone structures across India; and India's expanding international role in heritage conservation, including ASI's landmark restoration projects at Ta Prohm in Cambodia and the Cham temples at My Son in Vietnam.
Fighting a court case in India is one of the most stressful experiences a person can go through. Cases drag on for years. Lawyer fees pile up. Hearings are postponed again and again. And through it all, you still have to show up to work, take care of your family, and hold your life together.

Fighting a court case in India is one of the most stressful experiences a person can go through. Cases drag on for years. Lawyer fees pile up. Hearings are postponed again and again. And through it all, you still have to show up to work, take care of your family, and hold your life together.
Managing Court Cases with Mental Strength is a practical guide for anyone struggling with the psychological and emotional burden of ongoing litigation. Rather than focusing on legal procedures, this book focuses on you, the litigant, and gives you a toolkit to manage stress, protect your health, and maintain balance while your case runs its course.
Drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, yoga, positive psychology, logotherapy, and behavioral techniques, the authors provide clear and actionable strategies that anyone can apply, regardless of the type or stage of their case.
Topics covered include managing your lawyer effectively, handling adverse judgments, exploring mediation and settlement options, managing work and career during litigation, coping once the case concludes, and forming a self-help support group. A dedicated resources section lists useful apps, websites, and mental health helplines for Indian readers.
If a court case is taking over your life, this book will help you take it back.
Why does Delhi tremble? Why do marine fossils turn up in the Himalayas? Why is Sri Lanka geologically a piece of Kerala? And how did a single volcanic eruption 66 million years ago cover half a continent in lava — and possibly change the fate of the dinosaurs?

Introduction to Geology: India's Geological Wonders answers these questions and dozens more, tracing the billion-year story of the Indian subcontinent from its origins in the ancient supercontinent Gondwana to the tectonic forces still reshaping it today.
Covering everything from the birth of the Himalayas and the mystery of the Indo-Gangetic Plain to the volcanic Deccan Plateau, India's shifting coastlines, the Andaman Islands, submerged civilisations, mineral wealth, and the future of India's land under climate change — this is a complete, accessible introduction to the geology that defines the subcontinent.
No scientific background needed. Just curiosity about the land beneath your feet.
For students, travellers, nature lovers, and anyone who calls India home.

The Indian subcontinent is the birthplace of Buddhism, and the landscape still carries its memory. Under a fig tree in Bihar, a prince became the Buddha. In a deer park near Varanasi, he gave his first teaching. In the sal groves of Kushinagar, he breathed his last. These places still exist. You can sit beneath the Bodhi tree's descendant. You can walk the meditation path he walked.
Guide to Buddhist Sites in the Indian Subcontinent is a practical companion for pilgrims and travellers who want to visit not just the four great sites: Bodhgaya, Lumbini, Sarnath, Kushinagar, but the full sweep of Buddhist sacred geography: the painted caves of Ajanta, the carved gateways of Sanchi, the drowned stupas of Nagarjunakonda, the cliff-top monasteries of Ladakh, the ancient university ruins of Nalanda, the rock temples of Sri Lanka, the jungle shrines of Nepal and Bhutan.
For each site, the authors provide what a pilgrim actually needs: how to get there, where to stay, what to see, and how to experience it. A chapter on visiting Buddhist sites as a practitioner, not merely a tourist, sets this guide apart from any ordinary travel book. It assumes nothing about the reader's tradition and speaks equally to Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana practitioners, and to anyone drawn to these places by curiosity, history, or the quiet pull of something larger.
The path is still there. This book shows you how to walk it.
Delhi has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times that it is not one city — it is at least seven or eight. Each of its historical cities was founded by a different dynasty: the Rajputs, the Slave Dynasty, the Khaljis, the Tughlaqs, the Suris, the Mughals, and finally the British. Every one of them left behind monuments, forts, mosques, tombs, and ruins that can still be visited today.

Each of its historical cities was founded by a different dynasty: the Rajputs, the Slave Dynasty, the Khaljis, the Tughlaqs, the Suris, the Mughals, and finally the British. Every one of them left behind monuments, forts, mosques, tombs, and ruins that can still be visited today.
Historical Cities of Delhi: Walks Using the Delhi Metro is a focused, practical guide to all of them.
Written by two authors who live in Delhi and have spent years walking these sites, the book uses the Delhi Metro — India's most developed metro system — as the backbone of every itinerary. Each chapter covers one historical city: its story, its surviving monuments, and exactly how to reach them and walk through them. The guide stays focused on the historical cities and their sites, rather than trying to cover all of Delhi's attractions.
Whether you are visiting Delhi for the first time or have lived there for years without ever exploring these places, this book will take you somewhere new — into the layers of history that lie just beneath the surface of one of the world's great cities.
Chapters cover: Qila Rai Pithora · Mehrauli · Siri · Jahanpanah and Tughlaqabad · Ferozabad · Sher Garh · Shahjahanabad · New Delhi

Abuse of the elderly and senior citizens is often an unspoken issue in India. Compared to other kinds of abuse, senior citizen abuse is more hidden and often goes unreported.

Abuse of the elderly and senior citizens is often an unspoken issue in India. Compared to other kinds of abuse, senior citizen abuse is more hidden and often goes unreported. This is because of several reasons, the chief of which is that often the senior citizens live in the same household as and are dependent on their abusers. Additionally, the senior citizens may be unfamiliar with the procedures for reporting abuse or fearful of the police and other government agencies. They may be ignorant of the laws such as Senior Citizen Protection Act, the senior citizen helplines and the organizations like HelpAge India that are available for their benefit.
In this book, we focus on the problem of elderly abuse specifically in India and discuss about some practical steps and support available for senior citizens. It is hoped that this will enable the senior citizens and their well-wishers to better access the available support.

इस पुस्तक में हम भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप में बौद्ध धर्म से संबंधित ऐतिहासिक स्थलों का अवलोकन प्रदान करते हैं: जिसमें भारत, श्रीलंका, पाकिस्तान, बांग्लादेश, भूटान और नेपाल शामिल हैं। यहां भी, हम केवल कुछ सबसे महत्वपूर्ण स्थलों का ही उल्लेख कर रहे हैं, क्योंकि उनकी बड़ी संख्या के कारण बौद्ध धर्म से संबंधित सभी स्थलों को सूचीबद्ध करना लगभग असंभव है। हमने बौद्ध धर्म के सभी महत्वपूर्ण संप्रदायों से संबंधित पवित्र स्थलों को भी कवर किया है, जिनमें थेरवाद और महायान और वज्रयान या तिब्बती बौद्ध धर्म शामिल हैं। हमारी प्राथमिकता ऐतिहासिक रूप से महत्वपूर्ण और अधिक प्रसिद्ध स्थलों पर ध्यान केंद्रित करना है।
इस पुस्तक का उद्देश्य संभावित यात्रियों और तीर्थयात्रियों को साइटों का अवलोकन प्रदान करना है ताकि वे भी स्वयं जाकर देख सकें।

नैतिक निवेश, जिसे पर्यावरणीय, सामाजिक और शासन (ESG) या स्थिरता निवेश भी कहा जाता है, हाल में बढ़ रहा है। निवेशक, विशेष रूप से युवा निवेशक, अपने निवेशों के व्यापक सामाजिक और अन्य प्रभावों के बारे में अधिक चिंतित हो रहे हैं और दुनिया में सकारात्मक बदलावों में योगदान देना चाहते हैं, बजाय इसके कि वे बढ़ती पीड़ा में योगदान करें। विभिन्न देशों में शेयर बाजारों के उतार-चढ़ाव नैतिक निवेश की ओर आगे बढ़ते हैं। ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि नैतिक निवेश को अधिक स्थिर कंपनियों का पता लगाने के तरीके के रूप में माना जाता है जो अल्पकालिक मुनाफे के बजाय नैतिक मूल्यों में विश्वास करते हैं और इसलिए लंबी अवधि में लाभदायक होने की अधिक संभावना होती है।
इस पुस्तक में, हम नैतिक निवेश की अवधारणा का परिचय देते हैं और उन तरीकों पर विचार करते हैं जिनके द्वारा निवेशक आज भारत में नैतिक रूप से निवेश कर सकते हैं। हम हरित ऊर्जा, विभिन्न ईएसजी (ESG) और नैतिक म्युचुअल फंड और सामाजिक निवेश के रास्ते पर चर्चा करते हैं।
आशा है कि यह पुस्तक नैतिक निवेश के प्रति जागरूकता बढ़ाएगी और मौजूदा और भावी निवेशकों को इस तरह से निवेश करने के लिए प्रेरित करेगी जो इस दुनिया में व्यापक भलाई में सुधार के लिए अपने पैसे का उपयोग करें।
भारत का इतिहास समृद्ध और संरक्षण के योग्य है। भारत में मंदिरों, मस्जिदों, मकबरों, प्राचीन शहर के खंडहरों, महलों और अन्य स्मारकों की संख्या चौंका देने वाली है। आज भी पुरातत्वविदो
भारत का इतिहास समृद्ध और संरक्षण के योग्य है। भारत में मंदिरों, मस्जिदों, मकबरों, प्राचीन शहर के खंडहरों, महलों और अन्य स्मारकों की संख्या चौंका देने वाली है। आज भी पुरातत्वविदों को नए-नए स्थानों पर महान स्मारकों के अवशेष मिल रहे हैं।
दुख की बात है कि विभिन्न कारकों जैसे विकास, क्षरण आदि ने हमारी प्राचीन विरासत को नुकसान पहुंचाया है और अभी भी नुकसान पहुंचा रहे हैं। शहरों का अनियोजित विस्तार, नई सड़कों और शॉपिंग मॉल और रिहायशी इलाकों का निर्माण, अप्रतिबंधित पर्यटन, ये सब अक्सर हमारी पुरातत्व विरासत को नुकसान पहुंचाते हैं।
इस पुस्तक में हम पाठकों को प्राचीन इमारतों और स्मारकों के संरक्षण से संबंधित कुछ अवधारणाओं से परिचित कराते हैं। हम भारत के पुरातत्व सर्वेक्षण, उसके इतिहास और उद्देश्यों के बारे में चर्चा करते हैं। हम वेनिस चार्टर और बुर्रा चार्टर जैसे विश्व समझौते पेश करते हैं जो विरासत के संरक्षण के सिद्धांतों से संबंधित हैं। फिर हम कुछ प्रसिद्ध प्राचीन और मध्ययुगीन स्मारकों के संरक्षण और जीर्णोद्धार में उनके उपयोग को दिखाते हुए कुछ वास्तविक संरक्षण और बहाली तकनीकों पर चर्चा करते हैं।
आशा है कि यह पुस्तक रुचि रखने वाले पाठकों को संरक्षण की अवधारणाओं और तकनीकों के बारे में उपयोगी जानकारी प्रदान करेगी।

India is home to one of the richest concentrations of ancient monuments in the world, temples, forts, mosques, tombs, palaces, and archaeological sites that span more than five thousand years of continuous civilisation. Many of them are under serious threat. This book is a comprehensive yet accessible overview of how India's built heritage is identified, protected, and restored, and the principles, organisations, and techniques that make this work possible.
The book covers the full landscape of heritage conservation in India: the foundational principles drawn from international charters including the Venice Charter (1964), the Burra Charter, and the Nara Document on Authenticity; the history and conservation policy of the Archaeological Survey of India; the work of INTACH in protecting unprotected monuments; and the architectural traditions — Nagara, Dravida, Kalinga, and Mughal — that conservators must understand before intervening in a monument.
It also addresses the most pressing contemporary challenges: the growing use of digital technologies such as 3D laser scanning, LiDAR, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality in modern conservation; the accelerating damage caused by climate change to coastal temples, desert forts, and ancient stone structures across India; and India's expanding international role in heritage conservation, including ASI's landmark restoration projects at Ta Prohm in Cambodia and the Cham temples at My Son in Vietnam.

दिल्ली भारत की राजधानी से कहीं अधिक है। यह एक अद्भुत इतिहास वाला शहर है। कई बार, यह महाभारत के शुरुआती दिनों से लेकर राजपूतों से लेकर दिल्ली सल्तनत तक, मुगलों से लेकर अंग्रेजों तक, भारत का प्रमुख शहर या राजधानी रहा है। हर बार नए शासकों ने शहर पर अपनी छाप छोड़ी। नतीजतन, अब हमारे पास एक ऐसी दिल्ली है जिसमें अधिक नहीं तो कम से कम सात या आठ अलग-अलग ऐतिहासिक शहरों की छाप है।
इस पुस्तक में हम दिल्ली के विभिन्न ऐतिहासिक नगरों की समीक्षा करते हैं। हम दिल्ली मेट्रो का उपयोग करते हैं, जो वर्तमान में भारत में शायद सबसे विकसित मेट्रो है, दिल्ली के सात शहरों के स्थलों को देखने के लिए परिवहन के पसंदीदा साधन के रूप में। हम आशा करते हैं कि यह संक्षिप्त मार्गदर्शिका पाठक को दिल्ली, उसके लोगों और उसके इतिहास के बारे में थोड़ा सा अनुभव करने में मदद करेगी।
यह पुस्तक लेखकों द्वारा दिल्ली में की गई कई खोजपूर्ण यात्राओं से निकली है, जहाँ वे रहते हैं।
Delhi has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times that it is not one city — it is at least seven or eight. Each of its historical cities was founded by a different dynasty: the Rajputs, the Slave Dynasty, the Khaljis, the Tughlaqs, the Suris, the Mughals, and finally the British. Every one of them left behind monuments, forts, mosques, tombs, and ruins that can still be visited today.

Delhi has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times that it is not one city — it is at least seven or eight. Each of its historical cities was founded by a different dynasty: the Rajputs, the Slave Dynasty, the Khaljis, the Tughlaqs, the Suris, the Mughals, and finally the British. Every one of them left behind monuments, forts, mosques, tombs, and ruins that can still be visited today.
Historical Cities of Delhi: Walks Using the Delhi Metro is a focused, practical guide to all of them.
Written by two authors who live in Delhi and have spent years walking these sites, the book uses the Delhi Metro — India's most developed metro system — as the backbone of every itinerary. Each chapter covers one historical city: its story, its surviving monuments, and exactly how to reach them and walk through them. The guide stays focused on the historical cities and their sites, rather than trying to cover all of Delhi's attractions.
Whether you are visiting Delhi for the first time or have lived there for years without ever exploring these places, this book will take you somewhere new — into the layers of history that lie just beneath the surface of one of the world's great cities.
Chapters cover: Qila Rai Pithora · Mehrauli · Siri · Jahanpanah and Tughlaqabad · Ferozabad · Sher Garh · Shahjahanabad · New Delhi

एल्युमीनियम, स्टील और चीनी भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा हैं। एल्युमीनियम का उपयोग विभिन्न प्रकार के अनुप्रयोगों और साइकिल और एल्यूमीनियम पन्नी से लेकर उत्पादों में किया जाता है। स्टील (इस्पात) का व्यापक रूप से इंजीनियरिंग और निर्माण उद्योग में उपयोग किया जाता है, और कारों, उपकरणों और चिकित्सा उपकरणों सहित विभिन्न वस्तुओं के निर्माण में। खाद्य उद्योग में चीनी का व्यापक रूप से उपयोग किया जाता है। इन सभी उद्योगों में भारत का दुनिया में एक उत्पादक देश के साथ-साथ उपभोग करने वाले देश के रूप में एक महत्वपूर्ण स्थान है।
इस पुस्तक में, हम इन तीन उद्योगों का विस्तार से वर्णन करते हैं । हम कच्चे माल का उत्पादन करने वाले क्षेत्रों, और निर्माण प्रक्रियाओं से शुरू होते हैं। साथ ही साथ भारत में मुख्य संयंत्रों और कंपनियों पर चर्चा की गई है जहां एल्युमिनियम, स्टील और चीनी का उत्पादन किया जाता है।

भारतीय न्याय प्रणाली एक विशाल संस्था है। विभिन्न न्यायालयों में प्रतिदिन हजारों मामलों की सुनवाई हो रही है। कुछ मामले वर्षों में और अन्य दशकों में चलते हैं। इस प्रकार यह लाखों या करोड़ों लोगों को प्रभावित करता है।
इस पुस्तक में, हम भारतीय न्यायालय प्रणाली के विभिन्न पहलुओं को दर्शाते हुए कुछ कहानियाँ लिखते हैं। ये कहानियाँ बताती हैं कि कैसे कानूनी व्यवस्था आम लोगों को जीवन की विभिन्न स्थितियों में प्रभावित करती है। कहानियों में से एक महाभारत है, जिसे भारतीय अदालतों में लड़े गए विवाद के रूप में वर्णित किया गया है।
इनमें से कोई भी कहानी वास्तविक नहीं है, जीवित या मृत व्यक्तियों के साथ कोई समानता विशुद्ध रूप से संयोग की बात है।
हमारा उद्देश्य भारतीय अदालत प्रणाली को विभिन्न दृष्टिकोणों से प्रस्तुत करना है, और इस प्रकार पाठक को आम आदमी के लिए इसके विभिन्न पहलुओं के अनुभव की सराहना करने में मदद करना है। प्रत्येक कहानी के अंत में, हमने उस कहानी से सीखने के लिए पाठों पर एक खंड जोड़ा है।
इरादा यह दिखाने का है कि आम आदमी न्याय पाने में कैसे सफल हो सकता है, अगर वे दृढ़ रहें, भले ही प्रक्रिया धीमी और कठिनाइयों से भरी हो।
In this book, we write a few stories illustrating different aspects of the Indian court system, how it affects the common people in different situations of life. One of the stories is interpreting the timeless Indian epic, the Mahabharata, as a dispute fought in the Indian courts.
None of these stories are real, any similarity with persons living or dead is purely a matter of coincidence.

In this book, we write a few stories illustrating different aspects of the Indian court system, how it affects the common people in different situations of life. One of the stories is interpreting the timeless Indian epic, the Mahabharata, as a dispute fought in the Indian courts.
None of these stories are real, any similarity with persons living or dead is purely a matter of coincidence.
Our aim is to present the Indian court system from different viewpoints, and thus help the reader to gain an appreciation of the experience of different aspects of the court system for the common man. At the end of each story, we have added a section on lessons to learn from that story.
The intention is to show how the common man can succeed in getting justice if they persevere, even if the process is slow and fraught with difficulties.

पर्यावरण किसी भी देश और उसके लोगों के लिए एक अनमोल संसाधन है। भारत जैसे तेजी से विकासशील देशों के लिए प्रदूषण, वनों की कटाई, वन्यजीवों और समुद्री जीवन के गायब होने जैसी कई पर्यावरणीय समस्याएं हैं। इसलिए पर्यावरण को विनाश से बचाने और संरक्षित करने के लिए पर्यावरण कानूनों की आवश्यकता है।
इस पुस्तक में, हम सबसे पहले पर्यावरण से संबंधित मुद्दों का परिचय प्रस्तुत करते हैं। फिर हम पर्यावरण की रक्षा के लिए मुख्य कानूनों को संक्षेप में प्रस्तुत करते हैं। इन कानूनों में पर्यावरण के विभिन्न पहलू जैसे वन्यजीव, प्रदूषण नियंत्रण, वन आवरण और अपशिष्ट प्रबंधन शामिल हैं। कुल मिलाकर, ये कानून भारत की हवा, पानी और मिट्टी से जुड़ी जैव विविधता और पर्यावरण संसाधनों की रक्षा और संरक्षण के लिए एक व्यापक प्रणाली प्रस्तुत करते हैं।
यह आशा की जाती है कि यह पुस्तक उन लोगों को परिचयात्मक मार्गदर्शन प्रदान करेगी जो पर्यावरण के मुद्दों में रुचि रखते हैं और जो भारत में पर्यावरण से संबंधित कानूनों से परिचित होना चाहते हैं।
Abuse of the elderly and senior citizens is often an unspoken issue in India. Compared to other kinds of abuse, senior citizen abuse is more hidden and often goes unreported.

Abuse of the elderly and senior citizens is often an unspoken issue in India. Compared to other kinds of abuse, senior citizen abuse is more hidden and often goes unreported. This is because of several reasons, the chief of which is that often the senior citizens live in the same household as and are dependent on their abusers. Additionally, the senior citizens may be unfamiliar with the procedures for reporting abuse or fearful of the police and other government agencies. They may be ignorant of the laws such as Senior Citizen Protection Act, the senior citizen helplines and the organizations like HelpAge India that are available for their benefit.
In this book, we focus on the problem of elderly abuse specifically in India and discuss about some practical steps and support available for senior citizens. It is hoped that this will enable the senior citizens and their well-wishers to better access the available support.
The environment is one of the most precious resources that is available to any country and its people.

The environment is one of the most precious resources that is available to any country and its people. For rapidly developing countries like India, there are a range of environmental problems such as pollution, deforestation, disappearance of wildlife and sea life. Environmental laws are thus needed to protect and preserve the environment from destruction.
In this book, we first present an introduction to issues related to ecology and environment. We then summarize the main laws that are available to protect the environment. These laws cover different aspects of the environment such as wildlife, pollution control, forest cover and waste management. Taken together, these laws present a comprehensive system to protect and preserve the biodiversity and environmental resources connected with the air, water and soil of India.
It is hoped that this book would provide a good introductory guidance to people who are interested in environmental issues and who wish to be familiar with the laws in India related to the environment.

श्रम कानून काम और श्रम की स्थितियों को नियंत्रित करते हैं। वे कई तरह से महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं: प्रबंधन द्वारा शोषण को रोकने के लिए, इस्तीफा देने के लिए मजबूर होने से रोकने के लिए, कार्य सुरक्षा प्रदान करने के लिए, अच्छी काम करने की स्थिति सुनिश्चित करने और एक खुशहाल कार्यबल के लिए परिस्थितियों का निर्माण करने के लिए। भारतीय संविधान और विभिन्न श्रम कानूनों में कई कानून और सुरक्षा प्रदान की गई हैं। जैसे-जैसे कार्यस्थल की स्थिति विकसित होती है, श्रम कानून उनके साथ विकसित होते हैं। इसलिए भारत में श्रम से संबंधित प्रचलित कानूनों और सुरक्षा का अवलोकन करना उपयोगी है।
इस पुस्तक में, हम भारत में मुख्य श्रम कानूनों का एक सिंहावलोकन देते हैं, जिसमें भारत सरकार द्वारा 2020 में पेश किए गए नए श्रम कोड शामिल हैं। हम व्यावहारिक मुद्दों पर भी ध्यान केंद्रित करते हैं, जैसे कि क्या करना है और किससे संपर्क करना है अगर किसी को काम से गलत तरीके से बर्खास्त किया जाता है या काम पर यौन उत्पीड़न किया जाता है। आशा है कि यह पुस्तक कामकाजी लोगों के बीच प्रचलित श्रम कानूनों के बारे में जागरूकता फैलाने में मदद करेगी।

This book is an overview of electricity and power transmission aspects in India. We briefly summarise technical aspects related to the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. We also discuss the Electricity Act 2003 in India, which is the main act regulating the electricity supply in India.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the technical dimensions of the electricity sector—generation, transmission, distribution, energy measurement, substations, and smart grids. It also introduces readers to protective devices and smart metering, offering a practical grounding in how electricity physically reaches consumers.
The second part explores the legal and regulatory framework that governs the electricity supply in India. It covers the evolution of legislation from the colonial era to the Electricity Act of 2003, along with discussions on national tariff policy, the roles of regulatory commissions, privatisation of distribution companies (DISCOMs), and sustainability initiatives. Special attention is paid to tariff structures, state-wise differences, and future reforms shaping the sector.
Through this dual focus, the book aims to build both a conceptual and practical understanding of how electricity is managed, priced, and delivered in India. It is our hope that readers will find this volume a useful starting point for deeper exploration, research, and engagement with India's dynamic power sector.

यह आशा की जाती है कि यह पुस्तक इच्छुक लोगों को भारत में अनुबंध कानून से परिचित कराने में मदद कर सकती है।

भारत में बहुत से लोग उन कानूनों से परिचित नहीं हैं जो उन्हें दैनिक आधार पर प्रभावित करते हैं। कानूनों के बारे में अपनी जानकारी बढ़ाने से उन्हें काफी फायदा होगा।

यह पुस्तक पूर्वी बंगाल (वर्तमान बांग्लादेश) में फरीदपुर के उलपुर गाँव के एक बंगाली परिवार के इतिहास के बारे में है। यह हमारे अपने परिवार का इतिहास है, जिसे बसु रॉय चौधरी परिवार भी कहा जाता है, जिसे बोस के नाम से जाना जाता है।
हमारा बोस परिवार पूर्वी बंगाल से आया था, जो अब बांग्लादेश में है। हमारे पूर्वजों को मुगल बादशाह से जमीन के कागजात मिले थे और फरीदपुर जिले के उलपुर गांव के क्षेत्र में एक जागीर थी। यह भारत के ब्रिटिश शासन में भी जारी रहा, और हमारे पास एक बड़ी जमींदारी बाड़ी या जमींदारों के घर थे। विभाजन के दौरान, अधिकांश परिवार बंगाली हिंदू होने के कारण अपनी जमीन खो बैठे और स्वतंत्र भारत में भाग गए, हालांकि कुछ उलपुर में ही रहे। वहां एक बड़ा काली मंदिर और छोटे मंदिर भी हैं।
यह पुस्तक हमारे परिवार और उसके इतिहास का सारांश है। हमें उम्मीद है कि यह भारतीय पारिवारिक इतिहास में रुचि रखने वाले लोगों के लिए दिलचस्प होगा।

संपत्ति और भूमि विवाद भारतीय अदालतों में मामलों का सबसे बड़ा हिस्सा लेते हैं। इस तरह के विवादों की एक बड़ी संख्या परिवारों के भीतर होती है, जिसमें भाई-बहन और चचेरे भाई आपस में लड़ते हैं। इससे अर्थव्यवस्था और देश की उत्पादकता पर नकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है।
इस पुस्तक में हम परिवार के भीतर संपत्ति विवादों के मनोविज्ञान पर चर्चा करते हैं और प्राचीन और मध्ययुगीन युग से शुरू होने वाले भारत में कुछ ऐतिहासिक संपत्ति विवादों को भी देखते हैं। इसके अलावा, हम संपत्ति हस्तांतरण से संबंधित कानूनों और संपत्ति के मामले में पकड़े जाने पर कानूनी रणनीतियों पर भी चर्चा करते हैं।

This book is about the history of a Bengali family from Ulpur village in Faridpur in East Bengal, which is in present day Bangladesh. It is the history of our own family, also called the Basu Roy Chowdhury family, shortened to Bose.
Our Bose family came from East Bengal, which is now in Bangladesh. Our ancestors had gotten land deeds from the Mughal emperor and had a jagir in the area of Ulpur village in Faridpur district. This continued in the British rule of India as well, and we had a large Zamindari bari or house of the landlord. During partition, most of the family being Bengali Hindus, lost their lands and fled west to India, although some remained in Ulpur. There is also a big kali temple and smaller temples there.
This book is a summary of our family and its history. We mention the history of our family from the ancenstral village to the branch of the family moving to Delhi and settling down there.
In this book we discuss the history of the Bose family and the surviving buildings in Ulpur. We also go through the settling of a branch of the Bose family in New Delhi and the institutions for Bengalis available in New Delhi.
This book is written with spoken memories of our family history along with data collected on the internet from various sources, duly acknowledged.
We hope it will be useful to people interested in Indian family histories.

चित्तरंजन पार्क (सीआर पार्क) दक्षिण दिल्ली में एक आवासीय कॉलोनी है, जो ग्रेटर कैलाश 1 और 2 से घिरा है और नेहरू प्लेस, अलकनंदा, कालकाजी और गोविंदपुरी जैसे क्षेत्रों के करीब स्थित है। कोलकाता शैली के स्ट्रीट फूड, बंगाली संस्कृति और यहां मनाए जाने वाले त्योहारों के कारण इसे कभी-कभी "लिटिल कोलकाता" और "लिटिल बंगाल" कहा जाता है।
सीआर पार्क एक बंगाली बहुल कॉलोनी है जिसे मूल रूप से पूर्वी बंगाल के विभाजन के शरणार्थियों के लिए विकसित किया गया था, लेकिन हाल ही में यह अधिक विविध हो गया है। पहले इसे ईपीडीपी कॉलोनी या पूर्वी पाकिस्तान विस्थापित व्यक्ति कॉलोनी और पुरबचल कहा जाता था। यह एक सांस्कृतिक प्रतीक है जो अपनी दुर्गा पूजा, बंगाली स्नैक्स और मिठाइयों के लिए प्रसिद्ध है।
इस पुस्तक में हम सीआर पार्क में प्रसिद्ध स्थलों और त्योहारों पर चर्चा करते हैं। यह आंशिक रूप से उन लोगों के लिए एक यात्रा गाइड बनने का इरादा है जो नई दिल्ली में बंगाली संस्कृति के इस सूक्ष्म जगत का अनुभव करना चाहते हैं।

Previously called EPDP Colony or East Pakistan Displaced Persons Colony and Purbachal, CR Park is a Bengali dominated colony that was originally developed to house refugees of partition from East Bengal, but has recently become more diverse. It is a cultural treat famous for its celebration of Durga Puja, Bengali snacks and sweets.
In this book we discuss the famous landmarks and festivals in CR Park. This is intended to be partly a travel guide for those who want to experience this microcosm of Bengali culture in New Delhi.

भारत में अदालतें लंबित मामलों की एक बड़ी संख्या से बोझिल हैं। न्यायाधीशों की अपर्याप्त भर्तियों आदि जैसे कई कारकों के कारण, इनमें से अधिकांश मामलों को सुलझाने में वर्षों या दशकों भी लग जाते हैं। यह न्याय के लिए एक बाधा के रूप में कार्य करता है, हमारी अदालत प्रणाली में जनता के विश्वास को कम करता है और समय और धन की हानि और वादियों के लिए अतिरिक्त तनाव का कारण बनता है।
इस पुस्तक में, हम अदालती मामलों में देरी के कुछ कारणों पर चर्चा करते हैं। हम समस्या के पैमाने और उसके अंतर्निहित कारणों को छूते हैं। हम समस्या को समझने के लिए विभिन्न स्रोतों और रिपोर्टों के डेटा का उपयोग करते हैं। हम विशेष रूप से लंबित संपत्ति मामलों पर ध्यान केंद्रित करते हैं, क्योंकि वे लंबित मामलों का सबसे बड़ा समूह हैं और उन्हें हल करने में भी सबसे अधिक समय लगता है।
India has nearly 5 crore pending court cases. For millions of ordinary citizens, justice is not delayed — it is effectively denied.
A property dispute that outlasts the people who started it. An undertrial who spends years in jail before his case is even heard. A divorce that consumes the best years of both parties' lives. These are not rare exceptions in India's justice system, they are everyday realities.
Delays in Court Cases in India
India has nearly 5 crore pending court cases. For millions of ordinary citizens, justice is not delayed — it is effectively denied.
A property dispute that outlasts the people who started it. An undertrial who spends years in jail before his case is even heard. A divorce that consumes the best years of both parties' lives. These are not rare exceptions in India's justice system, they are everyday realities.
Delays in Court Cases in India is a clear, data-driven guide to one of the country's most urgent but least understood crises.
What this book covers:
Why India's courts are overwhelmed — and why the problem keeps getting worse
How property disputes became the single largest category clogging the system
Why 70% of India's prison population are undertrials whose guilt has never been proven
How police inaction, government litigation, and corrupt local bodies quietly add years to cases
The tactics litigants use to deliberately delay proceedings — and how courts can stop them
How PILs, designed to serve the public interest, are increasingly being weaponised
What AI, digital courts, and the e-Courts initiative can realistically achieve
How the Mediation Act, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and other recent reforms are reshaping the landscape
What India can learn from Singapore, the UK, Brazil, and the United States
Practical recommendations any government serious about reform could implement today

लेखकों के लिए कम अग्रिम लागत और डिजिटल प्रौद्योगिकियों और वेब-आधारित प्रकाशन सॉफ्टवेयर की पहुंच के कारण आजकल स्व-प्रकाशन लोकप्रिय हो रहा है। भारत जैसे देशों में, लेखक स्व-प्रकाशन टूल का उपयोग कर रहे हैं क्योंकि वे अंग्रेजी के साथ-साथ भारतीय भाषाओं में भी उपलब्ध हो रहे हैं। इसके अलावा, स्व-प्रकाशित पुस्तकों को बेचने के प्लेटफॉर्म भी अधिक आसानी से सुलभ और किफायती होते जा रहे हैं।
इस पुस्तक में, हम एक लेखक द्वारा अपनी पुस्तक को स्व-प्रकाशित करने के चरणों पर चर्चा करते हैं। हम वर्तमान में उपलब्ध विभिन्न उपकरणों और प्लेटफार्मों पर चर्चा करते हैं और उनका उपयोग कैसे करें। यह आशा की जाती है कि यह पुस्तक नए भारतीय लेखकों और भारतीय भाषाओं में प्रकाशित होने वाले लेखकों सहित लेखकों के लिए यह जानने के लिए उपयोगी संसाधन होगी कि उनकी स्वयं-प्रकाशन यात्रा में कहां से शुरू करना है और क्या करना है।

कभी-कभी हम अदालती मामलों से बच नहीं पाते हैं। भारत में कभी-कभी मामले कई महीनों या वर्षों तक चल सकते हैं। हमें अलग-अलग शहरों में सुनवाई में शामिल होना पड़ सकता है। हमें वकीलों के साथ समस्याओं, जिरह, भारी खर्च, प्रतिकूल निर्णय और अन्य मुद्दों से निपटना पड़ सकता है।
इस प्रकार अदालती मामले न केवल हमारे वित्त पर बल्कि हमारे शारीरिक और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य पर भी भारी पड़ सकते हैं। कभी-कभी हम असहाय महसूस कर सकते हैं और गहरे तनाव या अवसाद में पड़ सकते हैं।
इस पुस्तक में, हम अदालती मामलों से निपटने के दौरान अपने जीवन को संतुलित करने की तकनीकों का अध्ययन करते हैं। यह आशा की जाती है कि इस पुस्तक में चर्चा की गई कुछ तकनीकों के प्रयोग से उन लोगों को मदद मिलेगी जो वर्तमान में अदालती मामलों में फंसे हुए हैं। ये तकनीकें उन्हें अपने मामलों और अन्य जिम्मेदारियों को बेहतर और अधिक संतुलित तरीके से संभालने में मदद करेंगी।

हम हमेशा अपने पड़ोसी नहीं चुन सकते। कभी-कभी हमें पड़ोसियों का आशीर्वाद प्राप्त हो सकता है जिनके साथ हमारे अच्छे संबंध हैं और जो हमारी देखभाल करते हैं और एक अच्छा समुदाय बनाते हैं। दूसरी ओर, कभी-कभी हमें अप्रिय पड़ोसियों से निपटना पड़ सकता है जो हमें विभिन्न तरीकों से परेशान करते हैं।
इस पुस्तक में, हम पड़ोसियों के साथ इनमें से कुछ समस्याओं का अध्ययन करते हैं और चर्चा करते हैं कि ऐसी समस्याओं को हल करने के लिए क्या करना चाहिए और किससे संपर्क करना चाहिए।
यह आशा की जाती है कि यह पुस्तक पाठक को पड़ोसियों के साथ विवादों को सुलझाने के लिए एक सहायक मार्गदर्शिका प्रदान करेगी।

Marriage laws form a vital pillar of India's legal system, and understanding them has never been more important. With divorce rates rising rapidly among India's new generation and matrimonial disputes becoming increasingly common, knowing your legal rights and obligations within a marriage is essential knowledge for every Indian citizen.
Written in plain, accessible language for the non-lawyer, this practical guide cuts through legal complexity to give readers a clear, comprehensive understanding of how Indian marriage law works, from the moment a marriage is solemnized to the legal processes that follow if it breaks down.
This book covers the full landscape of Indian matrimonial law, including what makes a marriage valid under the Hindu Marriage Act and Special Marriage Act, the legal distinction between void and voidable marriages, and the full range of grounds for divorce, from adultery and cruelty to desertion and mental disorder. Readers will find step-by-step guidance on contested divorce and mutual consent divorce, an explanation of judicial separation and restitution of conjugal rights, and a clear account of how courts approach mental cruelty through landmark judgments. The book also covers domicile and jurisdiction, division of property and streedhan, and two of the most widely invoked laws in matrimonial disputes — Section 498a and the Domestic Violence Act. The full text of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 is included as an appendix for easy reference.

इस पुस्तक में, हम वरिष्ठ नागरिक दुर्व्यवहार के व्यावहारिक पहलुओं पर ध्यान केंद्रित करते हैं: ऐसा क्यों होता है और इसे कैसे रोका जाए। हम हेल्पलाइन और गैर सरकारी संगठनों जैसे विभिन्न उपायों पर चर्चा करते हैं जो वरिष्ठ नागरिकों के लाभ के लिए काम कर रहे हैं।
