Book Description
Prisoners and Prisons in India" is an in-depth exploration of the conditions within India's prison system, emphasizing the human rights of prisoners and the legal framework governing their treatment. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical evolution of prisons in India, highlighting the various challenges that persist in the modern era, such as overcrowding, inadequate healthcare, and the systemic issues that often lead to the violation of prisoners' rights. At the core of this book is a detailed examination of the landmark Supreme Court case "Re-Inhuman Conditions in 1382 Prisons," which serves as a pivotal moment in India's judicial history. This case brought to light the appalling conditions in Indian prisons and led to a series of orders aimed at reforming the system. The book meticulously presents the full text of these Supreme Court orders, offering readers an authoritative source of legal directives that have shaped the current prison reform landscape. Key topics covered in the book include: Legal and Constitutional Framework: An overview of the constitutional rights of prisoners, the relevant acts and regulations like the Prison Act of 1894, and the significance of the Model Prison Manual 2016. Supreme Court’s Directives: A chronological account of the Supreme Court’s directives issued in response to the inhuman conditions in Indian prisons, with full-text orders included for reference. Prison Conditions: A critical analysis of the current state of Indian prisons, addressing issues such as overcrowding, health and hygiene, custodial violence, and the lack of basic amenities. Life Inside Prisons: Insights into the daily life of prisoners, including rehabilitation programs, the plight of undertrial prisoners, and the unique challenges faced by women and juvenile detainees. Prison Reforms: An examination of the efforts made to reform the prison system in India, including government initiatives, the role of NGOs, and the challenges of implementing sustainable changes. Comparative Analysis: A look at how India's prison system compares with those of other countries, drawing lessons from international standards and best practices. Future Directions: The book concludes with thoughtful recommendations for policymakers, legal practitioners, and civil society on how to continue the momentum of prison reforms to ensure the dignity and rights of all prisoners are upheld. This book is an essential resource for legal professionals, human rights activists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the justice system. It not only serves as a legal reference but also as a call to action for continuous improvement in the treatment of prisoners, emphasizing the importance of upholding human dignity within the criminal justice system. With its comprehensive coverage and detailed presentation of the Supreme Court's interventions, "Prisoners and Prisons in India" stands as a significant contribution to the discourse on human rights and prison reform in India.

Book Description
History has always dealt with people, yet often gazing at the people from the perspectives of the non-people – colonizers, intruders, outsiders and the privileged elite insiders – who seem to have internalized the ‘mainstream’ perspective framed by the outsiders. In this context a group of scholars working on Darjeeling felt that there was a need for an inclusive people’s history of the Darjeeling hills. The present volume tries to fill this gap of the missing voices of the people of the Darjeeling hills and their cultures through re-writing inclusive history of society and culture from ‘below’, not only by de­coding the elements that are treated as tradition, but also the trans­formations in the realms of arts and ecology. For, the tribal-scape of the Darjeeling hills is not a static/frozen zone and the people (hence, the geo-space) are in continuous transition from traditional beings towards becoming neo-traditional. Accepting history as constantly ‘extra mural’ the objectives of the book are to focus on un­documented histories related to harmony, intimacy, belongingness and environ­mental care and thereby, interact the living with what is often projected as ‘dead’, by rejecting to abide by any given set of references as the final/‘scientific’/authentic and, thereby, opening up with other kinds of historical dialogue with the understated historical items that are accessible in Darjeeling. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the print version of this book in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Book Description
Environmental Sanitation and Eradication of Scavenging in India is a comprehensive sociological treatise based on extraordinary research by Bindeshwar Pathak. The book presents an in-depth understanding of the evolution of sanitation movement coupled with an account of a social awakening for the emancipation of manual scavengers, formerly known as 'untouchables', who faced severe discrimination as they belonged to the lowest stratum of India's caste-based society. It attempts at a comprehensive critique of the policies and programme of environmental sanitation and liberation of scavengers. In the overall context of environmental sanitation and eradication of scavenging, it aims at studying the historical context in which scavenging originated and developed; examining its linkages with ecology, health, hygiene and environmental sanitation; probing into various reformative and rehabilitative measures undertaken by a good number of social reformers, voluntary action groups, Governmental and international agencies for the liberation and social up-gradation of scavengers; analyzing the policies, programme and problems of low-cost sanitation schemes by Central and State governments; underscoring the pioneering efforts of Sulabh International and its outstanding achievements in the field of environmental sanitation and eradication of scavenging; describing and discussing the relevance of sanitation movement in the liberation of scavengers and the linkages of the liberation programme to the improvement in environmental sanitation; presenting an overarching view of the constraints in the implementation of policies envisioning a better environmental sanitation scenario and a brighter future for the scavengers; and finally, furnishing a sociological perspective on all important dimensions of environmental sanitation and eradication of scavenging in India. It also provides a definitive account of the ideas behind the invention of a two-pit toilet technology that eventually led to the creation and growth of the prestigious social organisation Sulabh International. Sulabh toilets later became a household name in India, and its designs are recognized as a globally accepted solution to the problems and challenges of providing affordable toilets to the millions of people around the world. The United Nations for Human Settlements has recognised Sulabh toilets as "cost-effective and appropriate sanitation system". It was also accepted by the Government of India, UNICEF, World Bank UNDP, WHO, etc. The book presents a comprehensive perspective on the sanitation and eradication of scavenging in India, with the solution on how to holistically tackle them by combining political and administrative will, community participation and use of affordable technology.
