HORRORS OF THE SEA
Macabre Tales of The Indian Coastline
[ RELEASING SOON ]
Horrors of the Sea captures maritime myths and widely-believed legends perfectly aged over centuries, though some are contemporary. Set against the backdrop of tranquil coastal India, the book consists of 15 eerie and unconventional tales that explore the dark world of sea witches, unknown entities lurking in the dark, the doll-faced mermaid, and monsters encountered when driving in the twilight.
Some stories explore human curiosity about the mystical elements and their fatal or fateful interactions. Others revolve around how human emotions often fall prey to evil entities and their frightening outcomes. Belonging to a comparatively unexplored genre and marinated with the author's own experiences, creativity, and imagination, the stories have a distinctive touch.
These tales aim at infotainment, a great way to satiate the appetite for horror while preserving our folklore.
Underwater Archaeology in India
-The Lost Enigma
The work is based on a very interesting and niche topic of Underwater Archaeology which is part of a broader concept of Underwater Domain Awareness.
The domain study is specific to the Indian context and particularly the sites that are submerged in nature. This is to merit focus on a singular aspect while distinguishing from the versatile underwater finds.
The study is based on secondary sources and acts as a level one document to facilitate further research with the help of primary sources.
After profound contemplation of the available data, it can be stated that the domain of Underwater Archaeology in India is in a stagnant state and demands urgent revival failure to which, the glorious and finite maritime heritage would be lost forever.
The need to preserve and conserve heritage is pivotal in nature, owing to the nature of finds , added with ecological and human induced factors of deterioration. There is paucity of organizations, colleges and courses in the country with a handful of experts, which is a major hurdle for the sustainable development of the domain.
A major deduction of the research is the absence of maritime law in the country, pertaining to underwater heritage along with non- existence of a document which discusses the process of underwater research. A model template is suggested as a plausible solution for the growth of the domain along with many analogies and global inferences.
