"A workshop organized by the Indian Council of Social Science Research in June 2000 provided an opportunity for an intense and open exchange of views among leading scholars, policy makers and nuclear scientists on fundamental trends that are shaping the nuclear challenges facing India. The goal, of the workshop was to strengthen the basis for a continued and informed nationwide discussion of nuclear policy choices. "A wide range of subjects from fundamentalism and terrorism to regional and international security, China's contribution to nuclear and missile proliferation, and bargaining asymmetries between India and China absorbed the attention of the workshop. The pivotal role of professional planning staffs to avoid the dangers of fragmented thinking was emphasized." (jacket) [M.L. Sondhi is Chairman Indian Council of Social Science Research.].

Subject index. Since the beginning of civilization the goal of domestication of animals (Animal Husbandry) has been to produce quality food to feed the ever growing human population. As the production directly depends on Reproduction optimum rate of reproduction in food animals assumes significance. However with the application of best animal husbandry practices including optimum feeding breeding and management the increase in the rate of reproduction that can be achieved is bound by the physiological limits. To cross this limit and to produce more and more to keep pace with the ever growing human population the application of bio technological tools in animal reproduction is the only solution. This attracted researchers and research grants to support animal reproduction research all over the world. The result is huge amount of information on animal reproduction being generated every day. The purpose of this book is to consolidate all this information and present it in a simple way for the benefit of the students teachers and researchers in the field of animal biotechnology. The book is based on the lectures delivered by eminent scientists in their respective fields in an ICAR sponsored winter school held at the reproductive biology research unit Gujarat Agricultural University Anand. Each topic has.

Domestic and external determinants of India's foreign policy during the last two decades have undergone significant transformations. These have led to reorientation in India's world view and its relations with other nation states. Magnitude of these changes has been so vast that it has resulted in paradigm shift in India's foreign policy. The volume provides theoretical understanding of the emerging world order and also reveals about the operational dynamics of such change in the new millennium. India's interactions with global power centers neighbours extended neighbourhood and regions and institutions have also been examined. India's security concerns in the post nuclear status period have been evaluated vis a vis conventional and non conventional threats. Even issues like energy security and economic policies are given ample space visualizing the contemporary global economic developments. New concerns in the form of international terrorism environment and refugees have been incorporated to provide a holistic picture of changing contours of India's foreign policy. The book may be beneficial for students teachers diplomats policy makers as well as common readers engaged in understanding the current discourse on India's foreign policy moorings. 280 pp.

Indraprastha Revisited is a book of the papers presented at the first ever International conference held on this most ancient and first planned city that now lies within the confines of the present Delhi, India s National Capital. This conference was organised by Draupadi Dream Trust on 22nd and 23rd November 2016, as part of the 1st Indraprastha Festival (18th -25th Nov 2016) and was supported by Ministry of Culture, ICCR and National Museum. Renowned scholars from various fields such as Archaeology, Art, Science, Sanskrit, History, Astronomy and others participated in the conference. Their papers present to us the identification of Indraprastha, and its antiquity by way of archaeological evidence and astronomical data. Papers were also presented on inscriptions and government records identifying Indraprastha, the erstwhile Indrapat or Indapat, as being the one integral and part of the Purana Qila. Papers give insight into the governance, culture, history and legacy during Mahabharata period, and ancient Indraprastha, and the conflict between good and evil and Dharma and Adharma. The conference papers highlighted the gaps that exist in knowledge of that period. Scholars also stated unequivocally the need to showcase Indraprastha to the country and to the world, so that a correct history of Delhi and this Purana Qila, which have antiquity of several thousand years, and is not limited to 500-800 years, as apparent from existing structures and monuments of medieval era. Scholars suggest that this wrong impression needs to be corrected by exposing the site excavated by archaeologists since 1950s till 2014, and creating an exposition of international standards. Some papers threw interesting light on this aspect. Valuable recommendations given are also included here. The book will be liked by all appreciators of our ancient culture, heritage, art and history. Indraprastha revisited is a book for the Ministry of Culture to Revisit Indraprastha. (jacket).
