Mula kay Loren Legarda, senador at United Nations Regional Champion for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation for Asia and the Pacific: Sa pamamagitan ng manwal ni Paloma, napapaalalahanan tayo na ang pagiging ligtas natin ay nagsisimula sa mga pagpili at kaukulang aksyon na ginagawa natin. Kailangang malaman natin ang bawat likas na kalamidad at maunawaan kung gaano tayo kahina sa mga panganib na kasama nito. Kailangang maging pamilyar tayo sa mga mekanismong mayroon tayo para mabawasan, kundi man maalis, ang impact ng mga naturang panganib. Pag-iisipin tayo ng manwal na ito kung hindi tayo handa sa mga kasalukuyang kalamidad, lalo pa sa mga malalang impact ng nagbabagong klima ngayon. Sa gayon, hinihikayat ko ang bawat pamilya na magkaroon ng kopya ng komprehensibong aklat na ito, na malaki ang maitutulong sa pagkaligtas sa mga kalamidad.

In the early twentieth century, British imperialism in India was at its peak and anti-colonial sentiments were on the rise. The nationalist desire for cultural self-identification was gaining ground and an important articulation of this was the demand for a national language and literature to represent a modern India. It was in this context that Mahavir Prasad Dwivedi, a novel, daring, and contentious litterateur, launched his multimedia campaign of constructing a new Hindi literary establishment. As the long-time editor of the Hindi journal Sarasvatī, Dwivedi’s influence was so far-reaching that this period of modern literature in Hindi is known as the Dwivedi era. However, he had to face stiff opposition as well. Sujata Mody’s book sheds light on the interactions between Dwivedi and his supporters and detractors and shows how Dwivedi’s responses to challenges were pragmatic and strategically varied. The Making of Modern Hindi presents Dwivedi as a dynamic and influential arbiter of literary modernity whose exchanges with competing authorities are an important piece in the history of Hindi literature.

This book explores the dynamics of the socio-cultural baggage that Indian indentured migrants took with them to the Caribbean island of Trinidad and how they have since become a vibrant diaspora community, namely the Indo-Trinidadians. It combines social history with first-hand fieldwork data to portray human ingenuity in terms of social reconstitution and community building in a hostile socio-cultural environment. Furthermore, it addresses key social institutions—religion, caste, and family—and cultural elements—language, foodways, and ethnicity. Its analytical framework is guided by the concept of metamorphosis; it steers clear of the persistence versus change hypotheses. Given its focus, it will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, social anthropology, history, and migration and diaspora studies.

This book provides a fresh perspective on the importance of the Hindi media in India's political, social and economic transformation with evidence from the countryside and the cities. Accessed by more than forty percent of the public, it continues to play an important role in building political awareness and mobilising public opinion. Instead of viewing the media as a singular entity, this book highlights its diversity and complexity to understand the changing dynamics of political communication that is shaped by the interactions between the news media, political parties and the public, and how various media forms are being used in a rapidly transforming environment. The book offers insights into how print, television, and digital media work together with, rather than in isolation from, each another to grasp the complexities of the emerging hybrid media environment and the future of mobilisation.
