Описание: The extraordinary stories of six women who defied the spirit of their age
The last available census estimated around 10 per cent of total urban working women in India are concentrated in the low paid domestic services such as cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the children and the elderly. This is found to be much higher in certain parts of India, emerging as the single most important avenue for urban females, surpassing males in the service since the 1980s.
By applying an imaginative and refreshing mix of disciplinary approaches ranging from economic models of the household, empirical analysis and literary conventions, this book analyses the changing labour economy in post-partition West Bengal. It explains how and why women and girl children have replaced this traditionally male bias in the gender segregated domestic service industry since the late 1940s, and addresses the question of whether this increase in vulnerable individuals working in domestic service, the growth of the urban professional middle class in the post liberalization period, and the increasing incidences of reported abuses of domestics, in urban middleclass homes in the recent years, are related.
Covering five decades of the history of gender and labour in India, this book will be of interest to scholars working in the fields of gender and labour relations, development studies, economics, history, and women and gender studies.

Описание: Autobiography of an Air Force Officer "Harbans, my friend, I congratulate you for your fine effort. I am confident that all air warriors, the serving, the aspiring, the veterans, as well as admirers of warriors will enjoy partaking of your remarkable journey through life. It is educative, inspirational and motivational. It will be a most welcome addition to the slowly, but steadily growing list of biographical works by veteran air warriors." Anil Yashwant Tipnis Former Chief of the Indian Air Force Harbans Singh Sahota begins his autobiography, narrating to us fragments of his life's journey by taking us through every stage of his life; his childhood back in the village of Garhdiwala, full of harmless playfulness surrounded by the love of his family; his boyhood, when days seem simpler while helping father find fodder for the Johri or while listening to Dadi Ma's Gurbani or learning the team-spirit in the game of Annar Choochi and Gulli Danda; and his teenage, when discipline, goal and academic sincerity paves the way for the man to make a choice. While he is expected to take over the spade and axe from his father, he seems to grow another wish-a wish quite drastic for a farmer's son. The boy, instead, pursues to touch the sky, quite literally. From being the farmer's boy from the village of Garhdiwala in the district of Hoshiarpur, he, with years of hard work, dedication and perseverance, chooses to become as an Indian Air force Officer, Group Captain and leader of Squadron, Harbans Singh Sahota-a name that reverberates through the past decades at the Indian Air Force. It is a story told by the man himself, allowing us glimpses of the simple times and simpler rural life in Punjab when mango-picking with a stone was an art and outdoor sports were more essential than hours buried in school textbooks. In fact, the long-forgotten, age-old tradition of learning alphabets on a Fatti or the native games with exceptional strategies will leave you only fascinated. It's a story that will make you want to live in those times in rural Punjab when life, games and studies were much simpler and fascinating, where faith in God and respect for elders was primary. We get to see the gradual growth of brave heart Harbans Singh Sahota, who, with sheer discipline, humility and valour, takes over the Indian Air Force, inspiring every man he has ever met and establishes his name in the country and abroad. With the telling of many enthralling anecdotes and life experiences of an IAF officer, it's a story about a farmer's son who had dared to fly.
