The versions and standpoints on violation of human rights are highly polarized. The two parties (the terrorists and the state) blame each other for such violation. The overall terrorist scenario let loose both by the militants and by the army has stalled the civic life of millions of people in this region. The casualties happen with the civilians militants as well as with the army personnel. Terrorism let loose by the terrorists and the arm forces has also exposed serious democratic deficit leading to denial of human rights in this region. The role of the civic initiatives and activists for restoration of human rights in this region is of special significance. The selected articles presented in a national seminar on the above theme organized by North East India Council for Social Science Research Shillong are being published in this book. The contributors dealt with conceptual issues and presented narratives of human rights violation caused both by the state and by the arm forces. This book also provides useful insights to the problem and is extremely useful to the enforcement agencies diplomats activists and human rights practitioners. 268 pp.

Global environmental changes are occurring in ways fundamentally different than at any other time in our history. Experts say that virtually all of the earth's ecosystems have been significantly transformed through human actions and that 60 percent of them have already been degraded. Population growth movement density and resource consumption are considered to be the main driver and multiplier of many environmental problems not only in India but all over the world. The industrial systems have encouraged the centralization of populations in urban areas leading to the growth of mega cities and relative neglect of rural habitats. These cities have in turn emerged as the main centres of environmental pollution with high density of vehicular traffic industrial activity and growth of slum population. Health is another important area of mediation in the interface between population and environment. Recognizing the need to examine the linkage between population and environment the population environment centre of the international institute for population sciences Mumbai organized a national seminar on Population and environment nexus in October 2005 to which this book owes its origin. The questions raised in the seminar and their responses have been weaved into a four part discussion (i) Population and environment linkages (ii) Food water and sanitation (iii) urban environment and disaster and (iv) household environment and health. In fact population and environment linkages are complex and multifaceted and no single book can do justice to this burning issue of our times. But still it is hoped that this volume would lead to a deeper understanding of the interface between population and environment. 278 pp.

Self Society and Science Theoretical and Historical Perspectives is one of a set of four volumes purported to broach the basic themes of the subject Consciousness Science Society Value and Yoga (CONSSAVY). This sub project is a part and extension of the ongoing Project of History of Indian Science Philosophy and Culture [PHISPC]. Science has been described both as abstract and concrete. Mathematical language constructive orientation and the invisible universality of scientific laws make it abstract. But when its dependence on human experience and practice is recalled science is felt to be concrete and close to common sense. Science is social in a double sense. No individual in his isolation can create science. He is influenced by the views of others predecessors and contemporaries and scientific truth claims need to be attested at least in principle by all. Sociology of science is a valid form of knowledge. Without peer endorsement and acceptance no new scientific theory is recognized as truly scientific. Of course the validation of science is a more comprehensive affair than the mere sociological approval of it. In science diverse information about the world are sought to be systematized in terms of laws.
