This book explores various domains of the Nepali public sphere in which ideas about democracy and citizenship have been debated and contested since 1990. It investigates the ways in which the public meaning of the major political and sociocultural changes that occurred in Nepal between 1990 and 2013 was constructed, conveyed and consumed. These changes took place against the backdrop of an enormous growth in literacy, the proliferation of print and broadcast media, the emergence of a public discourse on human rights, and the vigorous reassertion of linguistic, ethnic and regional identities. Scholars from a range of different disciplinary locations delve into debates on rumours, ethnicity and identity, activism and gender to provide empirically grounded histories of the nation during one of its most important political transitions.

However, she is holding onto Rohan whom she has known during her days in New Jersey, USA. A quick Internet check and Naina is shocked to find that Shaurya is a widower, but this is just the beginning of upheaval. Over a period of one year, Naina’s life intertwines with Shaurya, her two flat mates – one who is a B-school aspirant and the other a small town girl dazzled by big city life, her challenging workplace and her past nightmare. This initiates a remarkable journey of experiencing issues through her eyes and through other people’s eyes like top B-School aspirations, chasing, HIV virus scare, life and death, fear and longing, eloping, cruising through cricket world cup and tennis matches, coffee and dinner meetings, movie night, divorce status, software project delivery and much more. Whenever Naina and Shaurya interact, fireworks erupt but many questions are posed in the process. Every day unfolds new revelations and chaos in her consciousness, interlinking past and present and future, but this churning eventually helps her understand the true meaning of friendship, relationships, love and life and forges unbreakable bonds. Will this connection with Shaurya wind up into something startling? Can the coffee-dinner-movie-routine culminate into love? Will Naina be able to conquer her demons? Will she able to discover and experience love?

Popular Hindi cinema has become a significant signpost of contemporaneity due to its construction of social language. Generally, Hindi cinema has been understood through internal (auteur or genre or cinéma verité) and external aspects (consumption spheres and moviegoers’ complex response in the form of catharsis or everydayness mimesis). However, cinema also needs a new way of discerning with respect to ‘Dalit Representation’. The study needs to look at the construction and meaning of the social language of Hindi cinema. Construction refers to exploring factors beyond the film industry responsible for shaping the social language. Meaning entails the exhibition of social language in the form of messages. Herein, relational exploration becomes crucial. The relationship between factors of social language of Hindi cinema and Dalits must be unraveled for understanding the meaning of social language for Dalits. Contested representation encompasses the nature of absence and presence of Dalits in Hindi cinema.

In the era of globalization, regionalism aims at a practical compromise between global governance and national aspirations. Attempts have been made by states, in varying degrees, to advance cooperation towards mutual benefit in different parts of the world. However, the very process of regional cooperation in a defined geographical area adopts unique ways and special characters to accommodate the particularities of the region and does not lead to similar consequences when compared with the processes in motion in other areas. This volume is the culmination of the brainstorming exercise of a National Seminar on ‘Asian Regionalism in the Twenty First Century’ at the Department of International Relations, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. The task is to fulfil two main objectives: to join the debate on the efficacy of regionalism today and make a meaningful contribution to an understanding of the subject; and also to suggest ways of tiding over the problems faced by the countries in various regions or sub-regions of the Asian continent in their attempts to advance towards the goal of regional cooperation and integration. The essays in this book are envisioned to benefit not only a wide community of scholars involved in teaching and research in general and the students of international relations in particular but would also be of interest to any avid reader who intends to explore the patterns of contemporary world politics.
