Consequent upon the launching of communication satellites, the developments have been so diverse and multi-dimensional that it has not been possible to define precisely these rapid and fast paced changes. These profound changes and developments have been variously termed as : New Industrial Revolution, the Third Industrial Revolution, Information Age, Information Society, Space Age, Cabled Planet, Wired World, Post-industrial Society or simply the Third Wave. The book relates communication technologies and their relevance to the important and basic issues confronting the country at present: Women Empowerment, National Unity, Environmental Protection and Rural Development, etc. It dwells upon certain aspects including socio-cultural impact, the gap between the information-rich and the information-poor, the impact that TV and cable programmes are likely to have on young minds, as also the awareness campaigns launched by NGOs and other voluntary bodies and academic organisations. It also discusses issues like Regulatory and Legal aspects of Cable television, Communication policies, Watchdog mechanism and significant milestones in communication development in India including SEWA, Kheda Communication Project, etc. An effort has been made to analyse contemporary issues and steps needed to counter the negative impact of television and cable programmes on young minds. It is hoped that this publication would break new grounds in the series of books and literature in the area of mass communication and journalism being planned by upcoming media scholars.

The outbreak of plague in Surat in September 1994 brought to the fore the lopsided urban growth, inefficiency of the delivery system for basic services and incompetence of civic administration in urban India. The epidemic has also highlighted the significant role of urban local bodies in handling the situation in such crises. Plague in Surat: Crisis in Urban Governance is the result of a pioneering work undertaken by the research faculty of the Urban Studies Department, Institute of Social Sciences, in October 1994, immediately after the outbreak of the epidemic in Surat. What were the factors leading to the deterioration of basic amenities in the city? Why the functioning of the city government came almost to a standstill? What is the role of elected municipal councils in preventing such calamities? Based on extensive field work in Surat, this book highlights some of the crucial factors affecting life in urban India. The study also underlines the fact that the functioning of local governments in India''s rapidly growing metropolises should get utmost priority. It also looks into the premise that efficient urban management depends not only on access to adequate finances, but also on a strong city government which is stable and responsive to people''s needs.

Islam, as a philosophy, a way of life and of course as a faith, has served like a lighthouse for the whole world. It has, as a force, influenced all civilizations. Be it education, social fabric or science, Islam has Left its impact in all the spheres. In fact, Islam is-basically a scientific and progressive religion. This series, unique in its presentation, is perhaps first of its kind, to take all the great events, developments and personalities in Islam, in its fold. All the significant aspects have been covered in these volumes. This multi-volume study is based on original(Holy Quran and Traditions) and other authentic sources: Arabic, Persian and Urdu books and manuscripts. for further comprehenion and comparative study, English books by Muslim scholars and as well as Western writers have also been consulted at length. The painstaking research and thorough study of thousands of pages by a team of scholars over a period of time, has resulted in an authentic, comprehensive, exhaustive, exclusive, gigantic and still interesting work, which is bound to fill a big vacuum in Islamic Studies. This voluminous work is based on authentic sources and material, available in libraries, institutes and some pnr.ate collections, as well. A r-h Bibliography; along with references is provided with each volume Lo prove the authenticity of the work and in order to guide the scholars and readers for further studies. This modest work should; rove to be of worth for those, who arc kind enough to peruse it and may desire to make use of it for their academic enrichment. Hopefully, these volumes would be able to satisfy the urge of all those who desire to know about real Islam and also to create a new awareness, regarding this religion, as a radical discipline, based on reason and opposed to fundamentalism and dogmatism. Though, a small effort yet its rational treatment and radical approach make it different from other works on the same or related subjects.
