Muhura an evil man because of his anger on god decided to expand his empire in the whole of the universe. He started doing atrocities in the world taking the help of bad angels. But the great psychiatrist Sahamooti and parapsychologist Vamsi demolished the palace in which Muhura and his gang were stationed and made them powerless and helter-skelter for a long time. This is the story of the book ‘Amaswitha’ written prior to this book and connected to this book. But this book ‘Sasikala’ can be read and enjoyed without reading the book ‘Amaswitha’ But it has been made clear that Muhura, Ahina and the bad angels would only be scattered, incapacitated for some time but they would not be destroyed completely by demolishing the evil palace which was constructed by Sasinadh at the instance of Muhura for him and his bad angels. It has been further made clear, that Muhura and his gang sooner or later could gather together, get their powers back, strike on their betrayers and the world again. After six months of the demolition of the evil palace, odd and horrifying incidents started to happen again. Aravind’s daughter ‘Sarita’ and psychiatrist Rose’s daughter ‘Emily’ started behaving odd and it has been thought as ‘split-personality’ for sometime. But as psychiatrists Charles and Niranjan’s wives were also behaving oddly, they have to consider the whole of their four behavior in a different angle. Vamsi’s inability to contact Amaswitha anymore along with other odd and fearsome incidents also put them in anxiety. When Sahamooti proposed to make an experiment with the help of Aravind to invite Amaswitha, Aravind agreed to the same. The séance proposed by Sahamooti to invite Amaswitha and talk with her after the failure of the experiment with Aravind, was agreed by each and everyone. How the séance has been conducted, how Vamsi, Sahamooti and Aravind solved the problem of Muhura and his gang forever is the story of this novel ‘Sasikala.’

Microbial Diversity: Current Perspectives and Potential Applications is woven around the recent global perceptions of microbial diversity in its all embracing facets. Diversity perspectives are discussed in the context of ecosystem dynamics, taking into consideration environments that are rather unique to microorganisms. Considerable thrust is placed on the role that microorganisms play in sustainable production systems. Microbe-plant interaction arena is highlighted through the discussion of mycorrhizal partners, on which depends not only the plant community structure but also abatement of abiotic and biotic stresses. Other mutualist, rhizobia gets its due coverage whereas plant disease component carries examples from both, fungal and viral disease point of view. Considerable emphasis is placed on a discussion of the environmental issues such as the approaches that will lead to newer bioremediation technologies. No discussion of microbial diversity is complete without their implications in animal and human health. Discussed in this context are L-arginases in cancer therapy as also bioactives from cyanobacteria. Genomics and pathogenicity of two groups of viruses, viz., blue tongue and flaviviruses is highlighted whereas keratinophilic fungal forms are discussed in the context of dermatophytic infections. This volume also carries a fair number of articles on commercial microbiology.

“JAYALALITHAA WEALTH CASE: TRIAL COURT JUDGEMENT” (VOLUME TWO)” : This is a digitised, unabridged, and the original version of Jayalalithaa Wealth Case. Miss. Jayalalithaa, the six-times Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, India, was accused of misusing her office during her first tenure i.e. 1991-96. Thereafter she and three others were charged over amassing properties worth nearly 66 crore INR; 3000 acres worth assets inclusive of farm houses and bungalows, agricultural lands and private firms, vineyards and tea estates in Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad; moveable assets included 800 kg silver, 28 kg gold, 750 pair of shoes, 10,500 saris, 91 watches, and other valuables. The Karnataka Trial Court Judgement ended in their conviction on 27th September 2014; the High Court of Karnataka acquitted all of them from all the charges through its judgement on 11th May 2015; ironically “the Sword of Damocles” fell on Jayalalithaa (after her death on 6/12/2016) and three others through the Judgement of Supreme Court of India on 15th February 2017 in which the order, the conviction, and the sentence of the trial court was restored in full and the judgement of Karnataka High Court was set-aside. While the appeals relate to Miss. Jayalalithaa, she having expired meanwhile, stand abated, the remaining three accused are to meet the cold hands of Justice. This series of Judgements of Trial Court, High Court, and Supreme Court expose the finer aspects of this protracted litigation involving high profile people in the annals of Indian Legal History.

About the Book A SEARING EXAMINATION OF THE CHANGES THAT INDIA HAS UNDERGONE SINCE 2014 Riding the storied Modi wave, the BJP and its allies won the 2014 general elections to form the government at the centre. While the supporters of the new government may have hoped for economic reforms and accelerated development, the past four and a half years have only delivered incidents of hate attacks, mob violence and an increasingly hostile attitude towards religious minorities. With questionable decisions like demonetisation still fresh in the minds of people, how is the BJP gearing up for the 2019 general elections? As the Hindutva hardliners continue their clamour for a Hindu Rashtra, is the ideology strong enough to withstand the increasing unrest and discontent of the common Indian? In this astutely observed and expertly narrated account of India’s socio-political present, Ashutosh employs his experience as a journalist as well as a politician to give us an insider’s view of India’s changing political terrain. Relying on research, observations and personal experience, Hindu Rashtra takes a hard look at the political reality of India and what its future may hold. About the Author Ashutosh began his career in print journalism, was a part of the original team of Aaj Tak, and went on to be the Managing Editor of IBN7 for eight years, before he gave it up to become a political activist and join the Aam Aadmi Party. In 2018, he resigned from the party and returned to journalism with the Hindi news portal, Satya Hindi. He is also the author of Anna: 13 Days That Awakened India and The Crown Prince, The Gladiator and The Hope: Battle for Change.

In Love S Rite Ruth Vanita Asks This Challenging Question In Order To Emphasize That Mutual Consent And Family And Community Recognition Validate A Marriage-And This Support Frequently Extends To Same-Sex Marriages As Well. When People Claim The Right To Marry, Their Sex Or Sexuality Is Not Intrinsic To That Right, Although Social Prejudice Makes It Appear So. Moreover, It Cannot Be Denied That A Multitude Of Events And Depictions In Vastly Different Cultures, Times And Places, All Point To The Possibility Of Same-Sex Love And Commitment Being Recognized And Accepted.

This book offers authoritative contributions by world experts actively working on different aspects of phototrophic prokaryotes. Providing up-to-date information in this rapidly advancing field, it covers the range of topics that are currently the focus of research with this group of organisms. As essentially single-celled organisms, phototrophic prokaryotes process many environmental signals and use this information to optimize their metabolism, growth rate, DNA replication and cell division. Phototrophic prokaryotes are collectively of great interest for a number of different fundamental and applied perspectives and have long served as models for understanding such basic fundamental biological processes as photosynthesis and respiration. On an ecological/environmental level they are extremely important, being the most abundant photosynthetic organisms on earth and responsible for the majority of the primary productivity in the oceans. They also hold great promise as biotechnological catalysts, being able to couple solar energy conversion through photosynthesis and carbon fixation to the production of biofuels, commodity chemicals and neutraceuticals. The book is recommended to advanced students and scientists dealing with life sciences, especially in genetics, microbiology and molecular biology.
