"A heartfelt love letter to Delhi that is part history, part family memoir and part indignant call to arms: Why do we tolerate the neglect of India's greatest city, asks Mala Singh. More importantly, she brilliantly shows why we should care and how we need to learn to value the nation's extraordinary capital city." - William Dalrymple Capital to successive empires and the independent Indian republic, Delhi is finally coming into its own as the nation's first city in the twenty-first century. In so doing, it has left behind once and future contenders for the title - Bombay, Madras, Calcutta. How did this small settlement, founded in the lee of an ancient range of hills in eighth century by a Tomar Rajput chief called Suraj Pal, become one of the world's great cities, home to nearly twenty million people, witness to the rise and fall of empires and dynasts and eccentrics as magnificent and notable as the Tomar Chauhans, the Mamluks, the Khiljis, the Tughlaks, the Sayyids, the Lodis, the Mughals, the Nehrus, the Gandhis and dozens of others too numerous to count. Drawing upon her unparalleled knowledge of the city she has spent most of her life in, Malvika Singh gives us a book that reveals the pith and essence of Delhi through the memorable people who lived (and live) in it, its great buildings, its extraordinary food, its unforgettable music and the centuries of blood and history that have seeped into every square inch of its soil.

In Perpetual Mourning, Martha Alter Chen examines both the ideals and the reality of widowhood in rural India, particularly in Hindu communities. She argues that the ideology of widowhood in India is part of a larger ideology of gender that is designed to control women through the institutions of marriage, kinship, and caste in such a way that they uphold, rather than threaten, the social order. Without the restraining influence of a husband, widows represent the greatest threat to the social order, and therefore need to be controlled most rigidly.Chen first describes how widowhood is constructed, idealized, and represented in orthodox Hindu tradition, devoting individual chapters to the three classic options for Hindu widows -- suttee, or ritual immolation; chaste, ascetic life alone; and remarriage. The author focuses on the ideology underlying these three options as well as the actual practice during several broad historical eras, including the classical age of Hindu texts, the British colonial period, and India immediately following independence. An in-depth exploration of the lives of widows in contemporary rural India follows, informed by personal interviews.Drawing from theory and methodology of anthropology, economics, and sociology, Perpetual Mourning offers new insights into the ways kinship, marriage, and caste interact to structure the lives of widows, and in the process, illuminates our understanding of the construction of gender in India.

Territorial Leasing in Diplomacy and International Law focuses on an unexplored but relatively common practice in which states reallocate their rights on territory without altering formal boundaries or resorting to definitive cessions. As products of diplomacy, leases address a frequent situation that, in extreme cases, can lead to war: the desire by more than one state to exercise sovereign authority in the same place. As instruments of international law, they paradoxically reinforce the territorial integrity of states while raising questions about the nature of their sovereignty. This book draws from a large number of leases to examine the practice from historic to modern times, describing their elements in detail and assessing them from both political and legal perspectives.
