National Conference on Future Trends and Challenges in Mechanical Engineering-2024 (FTCME-2024)
In the rapidly evolving realm of energy storage, lithium-ion batteries have emerged as a transformative force, powering everything from portable gadgets to electric vehicles. However, their widespread adoption has brought to the fore the critical challenge of accurately estimating their State of Charge and State of Health.

Nation, Nationalism and Indian Hindi Cinema
This book explores the complex relationship between Indian nationalism and Hindi cinema, examining how film serves as a crucial medium due to its visual narrative power and connections to traditional cultural forms including Parsi theatre, folk traditions, and mythological storytelling.

Gender, Cinema, Streaming Platforms
This book offers interdisciplinary examination of gender representations in cinema and SVOD (Subscription Video on Demand) platforms in India.

Historicizing Myths in Contemporary India
This book examines cinematic practices in Bollywood as narratives that assist in shaping the imagination of the age, especially in contemporary India. It examines historical films released in India since the new millennium and analyses cinema as a reflection of the changing socio-political and economic conditions at any given period. The chapters in Historicizing Myths in Contemporary India: Cinematic Representations and Nationalist Agendas in Hindi Cinemas also illuminate different perspectives on how cinematic historical representations follow political patterns and market compulsions, giving precedence to a certain past over the other, creating a narrative suited for the dominant narrative of the present. From Mughal-e-Azam to Padmaavat, and Bajirao Mastani to Raazi, the chapters show how creating history out of myths validate hegemonic identities in a rapidly evolving Indian society. The volume will be of interest to scholars of film and media studies, literature and culture studies, and South Asian studies.
