This book presents a detailed ethnographic study conducted in an urban slum in India. It explores how a State school, as a social and pedagogic institution, shapes the aspirations and worldviews of children in the urban margins. The volume engages with the children's experience of marginality and exclusion as they negotiate the intersecting axes of caste, class, gender, and citizenship. It further explores how their everyday school experience is mediated by the power asymmetries between the teachers and the community. In this process, it makes-sense of the political dynamics between the State and its margins while highlighting the role of schools and locating childhood in this context. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the book will be of interest to researchers, students, and teachers of education studies, sociology and politics of education, teacher education, childhood and youth studies, and urban studies. It will also be useful for education policymakers, and professionals in the development sector.

Psoriasis is a relatively common skin disease affecting 1% to 2% of the population. In India an estimated 0.8% population is suffering from Psoriasis. It is a papulo-squamous disorder of the skin, characterized by sharply defined erythematosquamous lesions. It is notoriously chronic and is well known for its course of remission and exacerbation. The exact etiology is still unknown. It is difficult to say what psoriasis is in terms of Ayurveda. There is no disease in Ayurveda, which can exactly be correlated with Psoriasis. The description & characteristic features of Mandala Kushtha are near to the Psoriasis of Modern Science. Shodhana (Vamana & Virechana) is reliable to control the disease. The synergistic action of Tikta & Kashaya rasa dominant herbs & minerals are likely to check the etio-pathogenesis of Mandal Kushtha (Psoriasis) and arrest it progress. This work gives overview of the ayurvedic management of skin diseases( psoriasis) and it management by bio purification therapy like Panchakarma (Vamana & Virechana) and some herbo mineral compound
