This book analyzes the role of laws and the judiciary in the process of censorship in India. It examines the rationales and observations produced by the judiciary when demands for censorship are directed against publications that allegedly offend religious sentiments. Focusing on a micro-level analysis of censorship of publications, it presents a hard case to understand the limitations of freedom of expression and the role played by the judiciary in defining its boundaries. The volume traces the evolution of laws governing freedom of expression since the colonial period and the context in which these laws were amended after Independence. It also explicates how the legal process - the structural and functional aspects of working of judiciary - affects the fate of freedom of expression in India. Employing comparative legal analysis, it tries to understand and situate the Indian case within the larger discourse of censorship and freedom of expression around the world, thereby marking its similarities and differences. In unravelling the politics of censorship, the author also examines the interaction among different stakeholders like government, non-state actors and the judiciary. A tract for our times, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of law, especially constitutional law and fundamental rights, politics, especially political theory and Indian politics, modern India and South Asian studies.

Disruptive technologies are gaining importance in healthcare systems and health informatics. By discussing computational intelligence, IoT, blockchain, cloud and big data analytics, this book provides support to researchers and other stakeholders involved in designing intelligent systems used in healthcare, its products, and its services. This book offers both theoretical and practical application-based chapters and presents novel technical studies on designing intelligent healthcare systems, products, and services. It offers conceptual and visionary content comprising hypothetical and speculative scenarios and will also include recently developed disruptive holistic techniques in healthcare and the monitoring of physiological data. Metaheuristic computational intelligence-based algorithms for analysis, diagnosis, and prevention of disease through disruptive technologies are also provided. Designing Intelligent Healthcare Systems, Products, and Services Using Disruptive Technologies and Health Informatics is written for researchers, academicians, and professionals to bring them up to speed on current research endeavours, as well as to introduce hypothetical and speculative scenarios.

Unlike other muco-cutaneous lesions Oral lichen Planus(OLP) is often chronic and rarely undergoes spontaneous remission which make knowledge of the disease more important for oral physicians and dental practitioners. The etiology is not known, but there are several hypothesis involving genetic, infectious, psychogenic and autoimmune factors. Pathogenesis of OLP has been extensively studied but still the controversies surround the disease.Understanding the nature and behavior of OLP is also required in order to provide better treatment modalities. This book is an attempt to unify the proposed hypothesis and make understanding of the disease simple for not only oral physicians but also for dental practitioners.

This book is a product of software engineering project carried out by our team at LBSIM Delhi, India.It can be helpful for those who need to know about applications of various software engineering practices in real life project.It provides simplistic view of how to design a Hospital Automation System and basically aims to provide a learning resource to those new to software engineering and its practical applications

In this work, the author tries to creatively engage with the works of Vivekananda, Aurobindo and Gandhi to comprehend thereby the redefinition and reconstruction of the idea of freedom in India. Kumar suggests that modern Indian thought contains resources for thinking about "inclusive freedom"- a conception of freedom that he distinguishes from conventional western theoretical articulations of negative and positive freedom, and from views that tend to classify Indian notions of freedom as 'other-worldly' in their orientation. Based on these propositions, the author further claims that the understanding of self, society and freedom as developed in the work of Vivekananda, Aurobindo and Gandhi can at a larger level provide a categorical response to the challenge posed by colonial modernity, thereby creating a kind of 'alternative modernity'.
