Interlinking SDGs and the Bottom-of-the-Pyramid Through Tourism
In a world grappling with many challenges, the global tourism and hospitality industries find themselves at a crossroads. Existing strategies fall short of stakeholder expectations, while the immense potential of the industry to address Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remains underutilized. Negligible attention from academia towards creating value for the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) compounds the issue, hindering the development of strategies essential for SDG achievement. This book, Interlinking SDGs and the Bottom-of-the-Pyramid Through Tourism, presents a compelling exploration of how the tourism industry, with its vast potential, can become a key driver for socio-economic and enviro...
Caste, Culture and Hegemony
This book looks at how the caste system has withstood resistance from below and survived the challenge of colonial modernity. By using empirical data from Bengal, it explores how Hindu caste society has sought to maintain its cultural hegemony and structural cohesion by frustrating reformist endeavours, by co-opting challenges by the Dalit and by marginalizing internal dissidence during the colonial period. It draws on case studies of early cultural encounters between 'high' Brahmanical tradition and the more egalitarian 'popular' religious cults of the lower castes. It also examines the Hindu 'Partition' campaign, which tended to appropriate dalit autonomous politics and made Hinduism the foundation of an emergent Indian national identity. The book will be of use to scholars and researchers of history, political science, religion, minority studies, gender studies and South Asian studies.

Beyond Kolkata
This book examines the politics behind, and the socio-economic and ecological repercussions of, the making of a new township, variously called New Town, Megacity or Jyoti Basu Nagar, in Rajarhat near Kolkata. Conceived by the West Bengal state government in the mid-1990s, in pandering to the vision of urban planners of creating a hi-tech town beyond an unruly, crowded Kolkata, and feeding the hunger of realtors and developers, the city is built on the foundations of coercive, even violent, land acquisition, state largesse and corruption — and at the cost of erasing a self-sufficient subsistence economy and despoiling a fragile environment. Yet, after its completion and departure of constru...
