Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps, male-mindedness seems to have adapted to changing-contemporary circumstances to become more covert and conspiratorial. Sexist suggestions—through objectification and substantiated subordination—for instance, may have been explicit in Indian media a decade earlier. But in the contemporary times of online social media and vociferous feminism, such openness of unfairness against women in the media will, more often than not, be met with strife and unpalatable backlash—fearing which blatant prejudice is prudently steered clear of. It is, hence, understandable that patriarchy, to sustain itself as a culture, has adapted to become more benevolent in an increasingly hostile environment. To identify such sly and stealthy sexism embedded in media content, one may need a reconfigured grasp of contemporary feminist issues and an altered nuance for isolation and identification of discriminatory depictions. This book exposes redefined and hidden sexism that predominates the popular visual culture of India—particularly investigating mass and new media representations that are a prime part of and have a domineering effect on the ensemble of popular visual culture—and characterises contemporary feminist movements. It binds a collection of contemporary Indian case studies of sexism and feminism encompassing communication media such as print, cinema, television, Web series and social media. There is a lack of book titles that study media sexism in the present times, and the proposed book aims to explore an unexplored area that is of social and scholarly importance. This book highlights the duality of media platforms: while media is a critical tool associated with fourth-wave feminism, they still remain to be a deterrent to the development of women engendering inherent and age-old patriarchal notions. This book will be an eye-opener to the general readers about benevolent sexism and train them to identify sexism hidden in seemingly pro-women media representations.

This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Indian Mona Lisa' is an eighteenth-century portrait of the goddess Radha from the Kishangarh school of Rajput Painting. It was purportedly modelled after a young enslaved woman and court-performer, Banī-ṭhanī, who became a concubine of the patron of the painting, crown-prince Savant Singh. Tracing her career, Heidi Pauwels recovers her role as a composer of devotional songs in multiple registers of Classical Hindi and shows how she was a conduit for trend-setting styles from Delhi, including the new vogue of Urdu. Through a combination of literary, historical, and art-historical analysis, she brings to life the vibrant cultural production center of Kishangarh in the eighteenth century by reconstructing how Banī-ṭhanī came to be acclaimed as the devotional poetess Rasikbihārī and as 'India's Mona Lisa'. This major new study conveys important new insights in the history of Hindi literature and devotion, the family, palace women and the social mobility of the enslaved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A globally customizable infrastructure plan can be adapted for other countries in minimal expenses, time, and changes. It has been presented in the world meeting of International Road Federation (IRF) on November 11, 2013, at Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). Our objective is, roads in the country must be like veins in the body, with smooth flow of transport. If it is not so, then we have to restructure the road and transportation system. Megaprojects are required. But it is an addition and will give best results after the basic infrastructure is ready. A developing country (like India) has to first build basic infrastructure fully. With weak infrastructure, the above costly megaprojects may create complications. We believe revolution in infrastructure means development with difference. For example 1. At present there are a number of street vendors / hawkers, which are the integrated part of the nation. Build a small structure for them at an interval so that they can earn daily. We name this structure as Chota Parivar (which means small family). 2. Just change the road markings and enjoy safe and smooth travel and parking. Altogether it will develop a complete basic infrastructure for the nation. So go for small and sweet development.
