March 2008Der Zug nach Pakistan
Roman
by Khushwant Singh, Axel Monte
Das Grauen begann im Jahr 1947: Die Engländer waren gerade abgezogen, Indien und Pakistan wurden geteilt und Menschen ihrer Religionszugehörigkeit entsprechend umgesiedelt – mit verheerenden Folgen. Es kam zu einer der größten Vertreibungen der Geschichte, zehn Millionen Menschen waren auf der Flucht. Familien wurden getrennt, Frauen vergewaltigt, Hunderttausende getötet. Von diesem Trauma Indiens erzählt Khushwant Singh in seinem Roman. Noch ist die Idylle in dem Dorf Mano Majra nahe der Grenze vollkommen. Muslime, Hindus und Sikhs leben hier friedlich miteinander, die Bewohner haben ihren Alltag auf die vorbeifahrenden Züge abgestimmt. Für Aufregung sorgt nur hin und wieder Jaggat, der Dorfganove. Die Männer haben Respekt vor ihm, schon wegen seiner Statur, über die sie ehrfürchtig sprechen. Jaggat kommt immer wieder ins Gefängnis, sein Vater und sein Großvater wurden als Kriminelle sogar gehängt. Obwohl er selbst der Sikhreligion angehört, hat er eine heimliche Liebschaft mit einem muslimischen Mädchen. Eines Tages hält zu einer ungewöhnlichen Zeit ein Zug in Mano Majra. Etwas Unheilvolles, etwas Gespenstisches geht von ihm aus: Der Zug ist voll mit Leichen ermordeter Sikhs. Das Grauen hat auch Mano Majra erreicht, jetzt zählt auch hier nur noch, wer welcher Religion angehört. Der Roman erschien erstmals 1956, heute ist er in Indien ein Klassiker. Khushwant Singh erzählt anhand von zahlreichen Einzelschicksalen in erschütternder Weise von der größten politischen,, sozialen, menschlichen Katastrophe Indiens, vom abrupten Wandel einer friedlichen Welt in die Hölle des Krieges, der noch heute grausame Nachwirkungen zeigt: im Kaschmirkonflikt, in blutigen Ausschreitungen zwischen den Religionsgruppen, in der Zerstörung von Moscheen und Tempeln.

Children's & YANovember 2019Darkless
by Tanu Shree Singh and Sandhya Prabhat
Ani’s life has turned dark ever since his mother left. The little specks of light, Grandma, Dobby and not even ice cream can get through the haunting walls created by Ani’s growing fear. Struggling to let others love him, he anxiously waits for his mother to return, delving deeper into the darkness and refusing to see the splashes of colour around him. Tanu Shree Singh’s poignant tale of a child waiting for his mother, a cancer patient, is told with exceptional depth and economy of words. The masterful hand-drawn digital, textured illustrations of Sandhya Prabhat depict a jarring juxtaposition of Ani’s dark world and his brightly coloured surroundings, mellowed by the gentle narrative which beautifully captures the essence of the tale.

Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Crucifers, Volume 1
Biology and Ecology
by Govind Singh Saharan, Naresh Kumar Mehta, Prabhu Dayal Meena
The plant pathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum causes white stem rot of crucifers and is considered one of the most destructive and cosmopolitan of plant pathogens. It infects over 900 species of plants worldwide including important field crops, cash crops, vegetable crops, fruit crops, ornamental plants, trees, shrubs and numerous weeds. Sclerotinia is widely distributed throughout temperate regions but also occurs in more arid areas. A lack of adequate host genetic resistance, the wide host range of the pathogen, and the difficulty in managing the disease all contribute to Sclerotinia's extensive crop damage within both broad acre and horticultural crops. Recent advances in genomics and sequences available on Brassica species and S. sclerotiorum have provided unique information on the molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions. This has revealed pathogen biology, pathogenesis, effector genes and molecular mechanisms of host resistance in Brassica crops. This first volume, Biology and Ecology, covers aspects of: . Historical developments. . Geographical distribution and host range. . The pathogen - Sclerotinia. . Reproduction, reproductive structures, and ultra-structures. . The disease, symptomatology, assessment, and economic importance. . Infection pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms. . Biochemistry and physiology of host-pathogen interactions. . Future research priorities of Sclerotinia on biology and ecology.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017'The better class' of Indians
Social rank, Imperial identity, and South Asians in Britain 1858–1914
by A. Wainwright
This is the first book-length study to focus primarily on the role of class in the encounter between South Asians and British institutions in the United Kingdom at the height of British imperialism. In a departure from previous scholarship on the South Asian presence in Britain, 'The better class' of Indians emphasizes the importance of class as the register through which British polite society interpreted other social distinctions such as race, gender, and religion. Drawing mainly on unpublished material from the India Office Records, the National Archives, and private collections of charitable organizations, this book examines not only the attitudes of British officials towards South Asians in their midst, but also the actual application of these attitudes in decisions pertaining to them. This fascinating book will be of particular interest to scholars and general readers of imperialism, immigration as well as British and Indian social history.
