      • War - The Revolution of Life

        by Rajumoni Saikia

        It is a philosophical book. We are able to know something about our life, humanity, personality, etc inside the book.    Modern society is suffering from several diseases. Countless hazards are existing in the world and people are affected. Chaos is prevailing in every walk of life.   Now people are living like a patient. Maximum people are dying inside. They can't laugh properly, can't do anything freely. They have to fight, have to struggle all the time, and thus becoming a warrior of life. So people are different in their views, work, activity, attitude, and personality.   People are suffering from multiple personalities. The usual faces, finding them in the day - to - day life, who may be anyone, sometimes I do think, am I? Who knows I maybe?  No. Nay. Never. But it should be. Sometimes it's essential for survival.    Multiple personalities are required for saving their own life. That is the main point.  Because it's a common phenomenon in day to day life.     "When one enjoys in l, Me and Myself, the seed of this  disease starts growing Such rapid is the growth, so deep is the hunger, that goes on spreading. Morality and moral value remain in the background. Rejoicing the success that is newly found.   They want to join the blind route and blind race Because they belong to a new race.     Yes, it's commonly found there are many in any field, as if they are competing with someone, they are restless, almost often, why it is? Such a trait of personality is often visible in everyone's eyes, one may not say, one understands and doesn't say, ultimately what the person wants in life. Yes, the pinnacle of life. More frequently it's not good, it breeds a kind of disease, that is self-created, and people know about its consequence.   'The higher reality of consciousness enhances peace, love, harmony, and happiness in our hearts with actions we connectively accomplished through faith."     This is a comprehensive subject, much has to be discussed in detail, at least poet Rajumoni Saikia has started the subject in nutshell in his one of his poems that readers can feel the in depths of the fire of the disease.     Dissociative identity disorder, known as multiple personality disorder is a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states.   Undoubtedly multiple character or personality consumes much energy, maybe for overthinking, over-breathing, which everything has its own limit, and everything over is not good for the health, and health of family and society. Therefore, poet Rajumoni Saikia is excellently penning down the topic which almost everyone aware of it, but the poet has brought it limelight, which now on people will study the personality henceforth."     Finally, personality also a part of life. It depends upon how the people maintain in day to day normal life. People always aware of his personality. When it is turned into a disease it destroys the lives. People losses the battle of life and morality.

        Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

        Utilization and Conservation Techniques

        by Gopal Shukla ,Bidhan Roy, Vineeta & Sumit Chakravarty

        Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are invaluable natural resources of use to human race, without which the survival of human/ animal race is incredible. There is an enormous diversity of plants which are put into medicinal, beauty care and culinary purposes. Cultivation of commercially important medicinal plants is in high demand as the global community is growing towards a green and herbal oriented approach. India as a country has thousands of years old traditional medicinal systems which rely solely on medicinal plants. There is a gradual loss of medicinal plants with the increasing demand of plant derived drugs. Majority of medicinal plants are still collected from the wild. This doesnt meet the demand and thereby pave ways to adulterants. The over extraction and ignorant activities cause biodiversity loss. Farm production of MAPs in these days is extremely vulnerable to underlying climate risk. Sustainable management of these resources requires urgent attention for environmental stability and improvement of livelihood. New income generating opportunities are opening up for rural populations and in particular for small-scale farmers as well as marginal farmers through MAPs cultivation. New generation are not well aware of the various uses of many plants to which it was put before. Thus there is an urgent need to spread the knowledge and conserve the wild populations of medicinal plant diversity in various forest areas of India. Considering the importance of the MAPs, an attempt was taken in this edited book to understand and highlight the role of MAPs in livelihood improvement and income generation through cultivation, conservation and utilisation. Most of the chapters in this book dealt with individual medicinal plants in detail. Two chapters have also been included on pests and diseases management of MAPs. Nowadays, IPR issues are more important. One chapter has been included on IPR issues on medicinal plants. A chapter also devoted on value addition of the medicinal plant products.

        Climate Change and Agroforestry

        Adaptation, Mitigation and Livelihood Security

        by C.B.Pandey, Mahesh Kumar Gaur & R.K.Goyal

        Natural change in climate is slow and takes millions of years; and it is known to have made our planet hospitable to live. The climate change is not limited to one country or a continent. It is occurring across the globe as evident from droughts in Texas and flooding along the Missouri River in the United States and along the Red River in Canada. Climate change drives many stressors and interacts with many non-climatic stressors which make it difficult to forecast outcomes in any general way other than existing threats to agriculture. Agroforestry increases a high level of diversity within agricultural lands which supports numerous ecological and production services that bring resilience to the impact of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Climate change risk management is difficult in annual cropping systems due to increasing uncertainty of inter-annual variability in rainfall and temperature. Mixing of woody trees with crops, forage and livestock operations provides greater resilience to the inter-annual variability through crop diversification and increased resource use efficiency. Deep rooted trees allow better access to nutrients and water during droughts and when appropriately integrated into annual cropping systems and extract from different resource pools that would otherwise be lost from systems. Agroforestry increases soil porosity, reduces runoff and increases soil cover, which improve water infiltration and reduces moisture stress in low rainfall years. During periods of excessive soil moisture, tree based systems keep soils aerated by pumping out excess water and offer an economic return. The book contains 36 chapters mainly on agroforestry practices found in India and its role in climate change mitigation and adaptation.

        Outcaste Bombay

        by Juned Shaikh

        This monograph presents a history of caste and class in the modern city through the experience of Dalits (members of the lowest caste) in twentieth-century Bombay. There, urban life did not dismantle caste, but instead made it robust and insulated it in the garb of modernity. Juned Shaikh demonstrates that the urban built environment and language are two sites for the habitation of caste in Bombay, as they are the spaces where it was concealed and eclipsed by class. The built environment is thus a quintessential marker, in which elements such as housing, tenements, slums, water supply, and drainage systems readily divulge the class of inhabitants. Shaikh explores the intersection and entanglement of caste and class by focusing on a cluster of groups that occupied subordinate positions in both these hierarchies: the Dalits. Their experience is relevant not only to South Asianists, but resonates with that of oppressed populations throughout the world.
