Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melanie Eagleton is staring into the cold waters of Long Island Sound from the deck of her deceased best friend's cottage. She is also trying to sketch out a solution for her latest assignment–redesigning a new inner space for the palace for the last Rajah/Bollywood heartthrob as well as the creation of a museum that will depict the one opulent lives of the Rajahs royal family. Meanwhile, in a small dark apartment on Roosevelt Island, an intense young man is experimenting with creative ways to make a statement about his obsession–the loss of American jobs, especially his, to Indian call centers. Melanie is at a celebration at the Rajah’s palace when the corporate head of a major call-center collapses during her visit. Fortunately, she knows who to call in cases as extreme as Victor Kumar's death. She knows Detective Colin St. James Smythe, who'd worked with her when her late husband was implicated in her best friend’s murder. With a growing romantic interest in the beautiful Melanie, Smythe dashes to Mumbai to investigate.
Download or read book A Free Man A True Story of Life and Death in Delhi written by Aman Sethi and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A deeply moving, funny, and brilliantly written account from one of India’s most original new voices." —Katherine Boo Like Dave Eggers’s Zeitoun and Alexander Masters’s Stuart, this is a tour de force of narrative reportage. Mohammed Ashraf studied biology, became a butcher, a tailor, and an electrician’s apprentice; now he is a homeless day laborer in the heart of old Delhi. How did he end up this way? In an astonishing debut, Aman Sethi brings him and his indelible group of friends to life through their adventures and misfortunes in the Old Delhi Railway Station, the harrowing wards of a tuberculosis hospital, an illegal bar made of cardboard and plywood, and into Beggars Court and back onto the streets. In a time of global economic strain, this is an unforgettable evocation of persistence in the face of poverty in one of the world’s largest cities. Sethi recounts Ashraf’s surprising life story with wit, candor, and verve, and A Free Man becomes a moving story of the many ways a man can be free.
Download or read book Enduring Cancer written by Dwaipayan Banerjee and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Enduring Cancer Dwaipayan Banerjee explores the efforts of Delhi's urban poor to create a livable life with cancer as patients and families negotiate an overextended health system unequipped to respond to the disease. Owing to long wait times, most urban poor cancer patients do not receive a diagnosis until it is too late to treat the disease effectively. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in the city's largest cancer care NGO and at India's premier public health hospital, Banerjee describes how, for these patients, a cancer diagnosis is often the latest and most serious in a long series of infrastructural failures. In the wake of these failures, Banerjee tracks how the disease then distributes itself across networks of social relations, testing these networks for strength and vulnerability. Banerjee demonstrates how living with and alongside cancer is to be newly awakened to the fragility of social ties, some already made brittle by past histories, and others that are retested for their capacity to support.

Download or read book Poor and Pregnant in New Delhi India written by Helen Vallianatos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative contribution to the study of food, gender, and power, Helen Vallianatos meticulously documents cultural values and beliefs, dietary practaices, and the nutritional and health status of mothers in Indian squatter settlements. She explores both large-scale forces—incorporating critical medical anthropology and feminist theory into a biocultural paradigm—and the local and individual choices New Delhi women make in interpreting cultural dietary norms based on their reproductive histories, socioeconomic status, family structure, and other specific conditions. Her findings have significant implications for nutritional and medical anthropology and development studies, and her innovative research design serves as a model for multi-method studies that use participatory research principles, combine quantitative and qualitative investigations, and interpret diverse types of data.
Download or read book The Sultanate of Delhi 1206 1526 written by Aniruddha Ray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an integrated view of the Delhi Sultanate government from 1206 to 1526. It is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the political events and the dynastic history of the Sultans and the second part with the administration, different land issues, social life including two major religious movements and other cultural aspects including architecture and sculpture. The growth of the city of Delhi has been shown here perhaps for the first time. Most of the books on Delhi Sultanate mainly narrate the political events. Here other aspects have been included to show the real character of the Sultanate. It may be mentioned that the English officials from the end of the eighteenth Century had termed the medieval period of India as a ‘dark age’ – a statement that has been accepted by several Indian writers. It is to negate this view that an integrated narrative has been provided here.
