Cratons and Fold Belts of India, is a unique attempt at presenting geological characteristics and evolution of the fold belts and the cratonic areas of the Indian shield. The author has evaluated the different evolutionary models for each fold belt in light of all the currently available geological and geochronological informations that are clearly listed. Shortcomings, if any, of each model are stated and a viable geodynamic model is presented for each fold belt. The book is self-contained it includes an introduction to the processes of mountain building, especially plate tectonics theory with its application to the evolution of the Himalaya as an illustrative example so that the reader can better appreciate the novel approach to the evolution of Proterozoic fold belts. The author eschews a detailed account of the fold belts for a clear description of all the concepts that go into building models. It is primarily written for graduate students, teachers and for those geoscientists who aspire to know all about the Indian shield."
The Third Birth of Confucius deals with the Chinese sage and philosopher Confucius and his philosophical and politico-cultural legacies. As the title suggests, Confucius has once again taken birth in China. Confucius 'died' for the first time when he gave way to Buddhism in the tenth century, but was reinvented again (Neo-Confucianism). This was the second birth of Confucius. In the twentieth century, under the influence of western ideas, China's liberals and Marxists abandoned Confucius again. But how long can a civilization live without any ideational orientation? Hence, the third birth of Confucius from AD 2000 onwards. Confucius is emerging as a proxy word for cultural nationalism. In fact, it is not one Confucius who is taking birth in China but two. One is the common man's Confucius, which is authentic and genuine. The other Confucius is promoted by the Chinese Government. The author believes that soon either China will embrace democracy or it may implode and disintegrate like the former Soviet Union. This book is an attempt to unravel the muddled reality of China and will definitely prove a landmark work in the field of Chinese Studies.

This book unifies Science (Physics & Cosmology) with vedantic advait (monism) philosophies in a mutually consistent 'Science=Philosophy Symbiosis' with a paradigm shift in both. Science supports existence of all-composing and all-pervading chetan Paramatma God, Avishesh Brahm. Jagat (universe) is not unreal mithya like the snake in a rope during dark but very much real with all sorts of motions and changes mediated by three gunas (sat, raj, tam). It is created from the Vishesh Brahm, which generates from a fraction of the motionless, changeless, inactive Avishesh Brahm. Avishesh-Vishesh Advait presents a unique and novel science philosophy to review the Sankhya and Shankaracharya's philosophies. The book has a lot for the serious reader. By scientific definition an 'element', as our 'positrino' or 'negatrino' is itself non-composite but composes others. Every one of five 'elements': earth, water, agni, vayu, akash described in Shankaracharya's Tattwa Bodh is composed by all five hence none is an element.
This book on Unified Theory is an update on the 1990 book 'Unified Physical Theory', the 2002-book Realistic Foundations of Physics & Cosmology and the 2010-book THE UNIFIED THEORY A complete paradigm shift in Physics & Cosmology. In a paradigm shift the Unified Theory singly presents the grandest ever 'unified' replacement for the Relativity, Quantum, Quark-lepton, Higgs, Electroweak, Supersymmetry, String & Big Bang theories. New Priciple of Null Action replaces the Uncertainty Principle. Findings of the 1990-Physics Nobel lauretaes and conclusions of 2011-Physics Nobel lauretaes are contested. The Universe does NOT have accelerated expansion and will not end as an empty space. Reader will be amused to count the number of Nobel laureates whose work and thought have been correctingly commented on. This present book will serve as a source to revise the syllabai and textbooks at the University & College levels of Physics, Astrophysics, Cosmology &c. Book is worth translation into major languages of the world.
