Book Contract Book Contract

A publisher is asking me to pay him to publish and sell my book "during the term of Publisher's copyright within the meaning of Indian Copyright Act, 1957, under Publisher's own name or any name in India and abroad'---Am I not the owner of the copyright? ‘If any writing is copyrighted then as per section 22 of the Copyright Act,1957 the copyright shall subsist in any literary work published within the lifetime of the author until sixty years from the beginning of the calender year next following the year in which the author dies.’ Does not this Act mean that author owns copyright and not Publisher?
