    About the Book

    Domestic violence is not just physical assault, but the emotional and sexual abuse of women by their intimate partners and family members. In India, there are other forms of violence, such as dowry harassment and violating women’s rights to inheritance, which are linked to traditional or customary practices. Majority of the cases that come to the Special Cells set up within police stations throughout Maharashtra and elsewhere in the country are of physical and mental abuse by the husband (57% and 61% respectively). As many as 38% of women complain of financial harassment and 15% report sexual abuse from husbands. The Tata Institute of Social Sciences – a Deemed University and Asia’s premiere School of Social Work – initiated the Special Cells for Women approach 35 years ago, joining hands with the Maharashtra Police and women’s movements, to place social workers in police stations in Mumbai city. This innovative intervention model has since then been expanded to more than 400 such units embedded in the police systems of 14 States and one Union Territory today. TISS-implemented Cells in eight districts have provided services to over 75,000 women who have approached the Cells in Maharashtra alone during 1984-2018. This commemorative edition, by the Resource Centre for Interventions on Violence Against Women, showcases the multi-agency coordinated response with survivor-centric social work in the country, by the Special Cells for Women.

    About the Book

    Are you afraid to invest in the stock market? Does the seeming complexity of the investment world intimidate you? Is it just the fear of the financial risks involved? Or do words like market volatility, risk tolerance, debt-to-equity ratio, blue-chip stocks give you cold feet? India’s top fund manager, Pankaj Singhania believes that one doesn’t need to be a wizard to create wealth through mindful investments. It is more about the right thought process, common sense and discipline rather than complex technical jargons. His book offers a simple but effective investment philosophy for everyone. The objective of the book is to create more aware and knowledgeable investors rather than technical experts. The strength of the book lies in the fact that it is not based on theory or hypothesis, but on the practical experience of a highly successful wealth manager.

    Several environmental issues are increasingly taking the form of a survival or an existential crisis. It is not just nuclear weapons, but other weapons of mass destruction and the fast-emerging military use of robots/artificial intelligence that pose a threat.

Big changes in global governance capable of resolving these issues are needed before it is too late. Planet in Peril is a wake-up call for us to set out our priorities and promote people’s movements as the steering wheel for positive change – the only way to save our civilisation.

    About the Book

    The Areca Nut Tree and Other Stories showcases works by a new generation of Assamese women writers, whose spectrum is wide and not confined to so-called ‘women-centric’ subjects. Be it a defiant woman sticking to her minuscule plot of land and challenging a land-grabber uncle, a woman trying to bring about a change in a river island, an adolescent girl tricked into marriage and trafficked taking on a new avatar as a revered sanyasin, a poetic portrayal of a man desperately looking for his lost love through his wanton ways, or a scathing comment on a voyeuristic society, these stories deal with human issues and experiences from different angles. Powerful voices not dictated or influenced by patriarchal dominance in society, these are tales that will offer readers a glimpse into the richness of Assamese literature of our times.
