The book is an account of the experiences and perspectives the author gained in his long and diverse career. It is written in two parts, the first part contains a first-hand account of his experience as a young man, in Pre-Partition India. Events leading to the holocaust, which were a result of the partition of India, and led to his migration to India, have also been mentioned. The excerpts also give an interesting perspective on the state of education, healthcare etc. in pre-independent India. The second part shares author’s varied experiences with the Police and Border Security Force, across his career. The author shares his interactions with the Khobi tribals, experiences in dealing with dacoits, opium smugglers, and his role in the development of the Riot Gun. It also details the challenges the author faced as an administrator in bringing about normalcy and restoring the credibility of 2 important universities in India. Cop to VC is the author’s journey from starting as a ‘cop’ to becoming a VC. His memoirs virtually correspond to the contemporary history of independent India and it reflects the changing ethos of policing amidst rapid progress as well as new challenges in these years. - Rishi Kumar Shukla, CBI Director

The 20th InternationalWorkshop on CombinatorialAlgorithms was held during June 28 – July 2, 2009 in the picturesque castle of Hradec nad Moravic´ ?,located in the north-east corner of the Czech Republic. IWOCA — the workshopthat originated19 yearsagoas AWOCA— madea big step towards globalization this year. After 19 conferences held in Australia, Indonesia, Korea,and Japan, the 20th anniversarywas celebrated by taking the conference outside the Australasian region for the ?rst time. Another novelty this year was that the proceedings are being published by Springer in the LNCS series. Our Call for Papers brought an overwhelming response of the combinatorial community. IWOCA 2009 received over 100 submissions, more than twice the amount it received before. Most of the submissions were of exceptionally high quality and thus the Program Committee was faced with hard work and so- times hard decisions. Many very good papers had to be rejected because of the limitedcapacityoftheconferenceschedule.In the end,41contributedtalkswere presented during the conference — the maximum number that we could ?t in the program. We would like to thank all who sent their submissions and to congratulate all the authors of the accepted papers. They contributed to what was a most successful conference. We also thank all the authors who submitted posters for the poster session (not included in the proceedings).

The subtitle says it all: how and why Bollywood found it worthwhile to explore the reality of the millennial women who are thriving in India - small part of the demographics but very influential. Advertising discovered women as The Hindi film Heroine is a brand and brand ambassador. The market met contemporary women who are independent, with freer attitudes to relationships, including pre-marital sex, Rom coms of the new millennium reflect this new-found freedom, defying patriarchy that still defines our society. Globalisation is culturally irreversible. From the 1990s onwards, Bollywood has responded to globalisation with fear of loss of identity and desire to integrate with global trends. It results in popular cinema becoming glocal. Bollywood celebrates nonconformists, subversives woman as the hero, stories in their own way unequivocally said No means No. Most daringly. Iconic characters like Choti Bahu, Paro and Chandramukhi transformed into today’s women with the power to change their lives. This happened with the energy infused into the mainstream by indie filmmakers with vision and the will to tell stories in their own way.
