The employment in the tea plantation depends purely on the use of ‘master-servant relationship’. This is a clear reminder that the labour force often consists of the descendants of the migrant labours whose rights are few, working conditions frequently grim, education minimal, and health poor, in many instances worse than that of similar labours outside the plantations. Though the number of tea gardens have been reduced, the number of workers and their dependants have increased manifold. This has opened the gate of innumerable socio-economic and political problems within the state.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis book presents a panoramic view of the tea plantation labours’ scene in contemporary India. Employment relations and working conditions in the tea plantation sector are examined in the context of the existing legal provisions to protect the labours’ interests in this largely exploitative system. Based on the social work and other social sciences’ intervention, the study throws a new light on the possibilities and limitations of popular participation in the development of tea plantation labours in India. Critical issues of agrarian reforms and living and working conditions of the poor tea plantation labours have been against the background of existing provisions and inability of the labour force to access the same.\n\u003cbr\u003eThough not claiming to deal with all aspects of the labour scene in India, the work does provide a fresh perspective of critical labour issues of today and tomorrow. To that extent it should stimulate further discussion among policy-makers, administrators, employer organizations, trade union federations, scholars, international N.G.Os. and others concerned with labour problems. The recent starvation deaths in North Bengal tea plantations supports my work.\n\u003cbr\u003eFinally, this book is written in order to bring out the poor plight of the tea plantation labours and the various problems including the occupational risks and health problems faced by them. Not many knew that tea is the product of enormous hardship by a labour who has slogged it out in a far away plantation. This work will be more useful to bring it to the light the fact that the tea which relaxes us is the fruit of cumulative toil of the poor labourers who work hard round the clock and produce this “Black Diamond”—the most common beverage of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44907932221591,"sku":"9788126921638","price":697.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126921638.webp?v=1769306175"},{"product_id":"an-essay-on-the-principle-of-population","title":"An Essay On The Principle Of Population","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Thomas Malthus\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Economics\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Essay on the Principle of Population remains one of the most powerful statements on the limits to human hopes set by the tension between increasing population and limited means of existence. In this famous treatise, which transformed Malthus into an intellectual celebrity, he posited the hypothesis that population, if unchecked, increases at a geometric rate (i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.), whereas subsistence grows at an arithmetic rate (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.).\n\u003cbr\u003eMalthus’s hypothesis implied that actual population always has a tendency to push above the food supply. Any attempt to ameliorate the condition of the lower classes by increasing their incomes or improving agricultural productivity would be fruitless, as the extra means of subsistence would be completely absorbed by an induced boost in population. As long as this tendency remains, Malthus argued, the perfectibility of society will always be out of reach. Malthus suggested that only natural causes like war, famine, pestilence, etc. could check excessive population growth.\n\u003cbr\u003eModern demographers find Malthusian view of power of population highly pessimistic. However, the facts that the world population is increasing at a fast rate notwithstanding various family planning measures, and world food security is under serious threat bear testimony that Malthus’s ideas are holding true even today. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe book deeply analyses the views of earlier writers on the subject of population, like Godwin, Condorcet, Russel Wallace, Richard Price among others, challenges them and convincingly brings forth Malthus’s hypotheses which have gained universal acceptance. It also contains an inculcating Introduction by K.R. Gupta, a well-known economist, which not only analyses Malthus’s views but also studies many other factors like migration of population and problems related thereto, population ageing and the ideas of economists like Adam Smith and David Ricardo to further analyse the issues relating to population. The Introduction facilitates easy understanding of Malthus’s hypotheses and serves as a curtain-raiser for the book.\n\u003cbr\u003eIt will be highly useful to the students and teachers of economics, sociology and anthropology and researchers in these fields. It will immensely benefit policymakers and demographers.

The book had six editions till 1826, and in each edition Malthus made changes to his original idea. From a pessimist par excellence in 1798, he mellowed into a realist in successive editions. But he continued to argue that population had a tendency to outstrip the supply of food necessary for its survival, and that it could be held in check either through positive checks such as famines and wars or through preventive checks such as contraception and moral restraint. He was always opposed to contraception but gave his support to moral restraint which involved, among other things, late marriages, celibacy and voluntary sexual control within wedlock.\n\u003cbr\u003eMalthus’s theory is based on two assumptions: (1) That food is necessary to the existence of humans; this is a natural law. (2) That the passion between man and woman is natural; this is a biological law. Malthus noted an incompatibility between the physical law and the biological law and argued that, in the absence of checks to population growth, population would always have a tendency to grow faster than the supply of food necessary for its subsistence. He went on to say that population, when its growth is unchecked, increases in a geometrical progression, such as 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on, in each successive generation. The food supply, on the other hand, increases, according to Malthus, in arithmetic progression, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. \n\u003cbr\u003eModern demographers find Malthusian view of power of population highly pessimistic. However, the facts that the world population is increasing at a fast rate notwithstanding various family planning measures, and world food security is under serious threat bear testimony that Malthus’s ideas are holding true even today. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe Essay is a great classic that firmly established Malthus as a social scientist. The extraordinary quality of this book is that it is of great relevance to any society because the growth of population vs. the means to sustain them will always remain an issue. Moreover, migration of population, supply and cost of labour, population ageing, checks on growth of population, etc. are important issues worldwide even today.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book has been brought out to help the students, teachers and researchers of economics and sociology, in their study and research. A comprehensive introduction has been given to highlight various pertinent issues on the subject. It will immensely benefit policymakers and demographers.

Herein the author has identified most of the main profane characteristics of human mind, like selfishness, hypocrisy and cynicism, and the genesis of man’s nature and the consequential behavioural exposition together with its bionomical impacts, while transacting with his fellow beings and his environment. Human beings incessantly manifest these behaviours. Notwithstanding their best efforts to coat them with the shades of different expressions, the real traits cannot be kept away from the other members with whom a man interacts continuously for long. Someone’s trait of selfishness or hypocrisy, for example, cannot go undetected by others interacting with him despite his clever tactics to hide it; the “cat will be out of the bag” some time or the other.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis book focuses on certain individual characteristic traits of human beings that have social dimensions. It deals with ethology—the science of character—together with the genesis of human behaviourism in certain realms, within and without.

The trait of selfishness as well as the consequential behavioural output have also been touched upon.\n\u003cbr\u003eIt will prove highly useful to sociologists, psychologists and many others constantly exploring why humans behave the way they behave.

It is the story of Paul Morel, a young man and an artist, his powerful relationship with his possessive mother Mrs. Morel, his passionate love affair with Miriam, his intense liaison with Clara, a married woman, and the effect of his love for his mother on his relationship with these two women—a manifestation of Oedipus complex.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe novel contains some universal truths about relationships. It has, what Alfred Kazin says, Lawrence’s “magic sympathy, between himself and life”. “No other writer of his imaginative standing”, continues Kazin, “has in our time written books that are so open to life...since for Lawrence the great subject of literature was not the writer’s own consciousness but consciousness between people, the living felt relationship between them, it was his very concern to represent the ‘shimmer’ of life, the ‘wholeness’...that made possible his brilliance as a novelist.”\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book has been brought out under Atlantic Critical Studies for the students of English literature, particularly those pursuing English (Honours) from Delhi University where the novel is prescribed in the syllabus. The chapters cover all the major themes and other aspects of the novel and after reading the book the students should be able to answer all the questions they are likely to face in the examination. For complete text of the novel the students can refer to the Classics Edition published under our imprint Peacock Books, also available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44908080038039,"sku":"9788126918607","price":147.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908080005271,"sku":"9788126918584","price":347.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126918584.webp?v=1769306206"},{"product_id":"development-studies-multi-vol-set-4-vols","title":"Development Studies  (MULTI VOL SET-4 Vols.)","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Robin Ghosh | K.R.

In nine symbiotic chapters organized around three central themes, the book examines the paradoxy of development, unravels archeology of the “axis of \n\u003cbr\u003eevil” and presents a design of new social development—an argument for the conviviality of a post-ideological coexistence—as a synthesis of Human-Social Development toward global renaissance.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book calls for Enlightenment II, a new epoch in the evolution of human history promoting counter-hegemonic analyses, policies and programs.

It is the pursuit of women’s rights within the society in India. Like their feminist counterparts all over the world, feminists in India seek gender equality—the right to equal wage for same work, the right to equal access to health and education, and equal political rights. Indian feminists also have fought against culture-specific issues within India’s patriarchal society, such as inheritance laws and the practice of widow immolation, known as Sati.

Earlier, some sporadic attempts were made to delineate Gandhian approach to social work by relating Gandhian thoughts to the tenets of social work. But Gandhian Philosophy of Social Work underlying this book is based entirely on Gandhian concepts and ideals that may have relevance for social work of Gandhian concept.\n\u003cbr\u003eGandhian Philosophy of Social Work as discussed in this book is basically spiritual in nature in the sense that spirituality runs through the entire theme of social work like blood in the veins. This book defines the concept of spirituality and distinguishes it from materialism. Further, it discusses how both can be synthesized in keeping with Indian traditions as society needs both of them. \n\u003cbr\u003eThis book also discusses the Gandhian motivation for social work as it evolved in his personal life. In fact, it was not the product of any one incident that occurred in his life but was the cumulative effect of his experiences in his whole life.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe chief characteristic of Gandhian Philosophy of Social Work is that it is directed towards the goal of self-realization that Gandhi termed as the Destiny of Humankind. The objective of Gandhian social work is also different from the usual concept of social welfare. It is to rejuvenate the entire personality and life of the individual so that one could become the guardian of one’s dignity and self-respect, and in the process it reconstructs the social system wherein the stipulated objective is ensured.\n\u003cbr\u003eSocial problems as discussed in this book are not the usual social welfare problems. These are the problems that are the cause and the effect of various ills and evils in the life of the individual and the society. And the roots of the problems lie in the mind of man. These could also be traced in various social institutions, particularly the family and also in social structure at large. The book also discusses the methods for the rejuvenation of the individual and reconstruction of the society. These methods are also the tools to fight against social evils and social injustice that are roadblocks in the path of individual well-being and serial progress.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe theme of Gandhian Philosophy of Social Work underlying the book has been articulated by evaluating and analyzing various action programs that Gandhi had launched, first in South Africa and subsequently in India besides his writings that have a bearing on the theme.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908168642711,"sku":"9788126917990","price":557.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126917990.webp?v=1769306235"},{"product_id":"gender-discrimination-an-indian-perspective","title":"Gender Discrimination: An Indian Perspective","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Rajiv Azad\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Sociology and Anthropology\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn India, discrimination against women is rampant, notwithstanding the fact that our Constitution has granted men and women equal rights. Discrimination against female children is seen in all the strata of society, and it manifests in various forms in India. The female child has been treated as inferior to male child, and this is deeply engraved in the mind of girl child. As a result, the females fail to understand their rights. Female foeticide and neglect of the female child after birth and in childhood have led to low sex ratio. There are only 927 women per 1000 men in India. Gender discrimination has been an issue of great concern because there is universal consensus on the gender equality.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book is an endeavour to bring out the shocking discrimination against women in India.

There is an urgent need for reforms as the practice of punishment and public opinion concerning it has been changing due to the rapidly transforming social values and sentiments of the people. Thus, punishment can be used as a method of reducing the incidence of criminal behaviour, either by deterring the potential offenders, or by reforming them into law-abiding citizens.
