New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2008. The volume is an erudite work on Nobel Laureate Prof. Amartya Sen's perception of Hinduism and the Hindus as evident in his books The Argumentative Indian and Identity and Violence. It examines Sen's stinging views on Hindutva and Hindu culture. The author argues that the work engages in Hindu-baiting and scrutinizes certain discrepancies that have crept in as a result of accepting theories, such as Sri Rama was a myth and Ramayana is a parable, uncritically. The book also comments on Prof. Sen's allegations that Hindu political activists nowadays pay little heed to the 'tolerant' Hindu tradition and are bent upon rewriting history to suit their own ideologies. This painstaking analysis will prove extremely interesting to a wide variety of readers: the scholars of Indology and religion, historians and to the general readers as well.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2008. The Aim of the 1,500-Year-Old Spiritual Tradition of Sufism, it has been said, is the elimination of all veils between man and God. In June 2004, Sufi Master Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan died peacefully at his home in Suresnes, France. As leader of the Sufi Order International which first brought Sufism to the West in 1910, Pir Vilayat had spent more than 40 years teaching this and other truths of Sufism to audiences in the U.S., Europe and Asia. For 25 years, Sufi teacher Phillip Gowins was able to take advantage of the many visits of Pir Vilayat to the United States. Thus Sufism: A Path for Today - The Sovereign Soul is a homage to the Master, providing as it does an introduction to the ancient stream of wisdom embodied by Sufism-but present in other religions and humanistic philosophies as well-that Pir Vilayat was able to impart to students around the world. This book is also a description, always concrete, often humorous, of the mystical path that Phillip Gowins himself has pursued over the years. With many examples and exercises, he shows us how we can practise the spiritual life ourselves. The path he lays out is strewn with pitfalls and pleasures alike. He tells us how we can avoid the one and enjoy the other-and attain to love and self-mastery in the increasingly complex 21st century. Sufism. Spiritual life--Sufism.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2019. This is a well known fact that the resources of mineral oils are depleting day-by-day, and the cost of exploration of the remaining reserves is bound to escalate. Moreover, the burning of fossil fuels increases the level of carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere causing the 'Green House' effect. In this context, aviable and sustainable alternative fuel is necessary to cater to a large fleet of automobiles across the world. The advent of biodiesel has come to the rescue in such a warranting situation. Efforts are being made to streamline the systems to produce biodiesels at economically viable rates and apply them in running the diesel engines in lieu of petro-diesel. And the present study is an attempt in this direction. It seeks to exploit non-edible oil plants, especially Jatropha, mahua and palm, to replace diesel oil usage in the conventional diesel engines. Providing transesterification procedure for all the three non-edible oils, it deals with the heat release rate calculations based on the pressure data collected in the combustion chamber. It also extends discussion on the instrumentation and experimentation, as well as the results of the findings. Biodiesel fuels--Research. Diesel motor --Alternative fuels. Diesel motor--Vibration.

Therefore, the knowledge of the Marmas is very essential for physicians and surgeons. This book is an attempt in this direction. Based on 54 verses of Susruta Samhita Sarira, Chapter 6, it explains the Ayurvedic concept of Marmas, along with their various types, location in the body, nature, their size, anatomy, physiology, pathology and possible treatments.

Krishnamurthy Live Happily the Gita Way / V. Krishnamurthy. New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2008. The Gita is considered to be one of the most exhaustive scriptures on the spiritual ascent of man in the form of a dialogue with God. Specially focusing on man's pursuit of happiness, the book attempts to summarise the entire Gita teaching into a two-part recipe for finding the happiness within oneself, namely 'Take lightly all that happens to you. And take all our obligations seriously, without fear of results or favour of rewards.' To arrive at this methodology for action, the author relics heavily on the Vedantic school of advaita (non-duality and its maxim, The real 'I' is neither the doer nor the experiencer. The philosophy of non-duality itself is explained in the simplest terms through a long conversation. Unusual diagramatical presentations of the core content of the book add clarity to the comprehension. Bhagavadgītā.--Criticism, interpretation, etc. Advaita. Vedanta. Philosophy, Hindu.

This is a well known fact that the resources of mineral oils are depleting day-by-day, and the cost of exploration of the remaining reserves is bound to escalate. Moreover, the burning of fossil fuels increases the level of carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere causing the 'Green House' effect. In this context, aviable and sustainable alternative fuel is necessary to cater to a large fleet of automobiles across the world. The advent of biodiesel has come to the rescue in such a warranting situation. Efforts are being made to streamline the systems to produce biodiesels at economically viable rates and apply them in running the diesel engines in lieu of petro-diesel. And the present study is an attempt in this direction. It seeks to exploit non-edible oil plants, especially Jatropha, mahua and palm, to replace diesel oil usage in the conventional diesel engines. Providing transesterification procedure for all the three non-edible oils, it deals with the heat release rate calculations based on the pressure data collected in the combustion chamber. It also extends discussion on the instrumentation and experimentation, as well as the results of the findings. Sustainable development–India, Northeastern–Congresses.

We have 'Word for Dummies'.... 'Marketing for Idiots'.... and hundreds of 'How to Do Books'.... and NOW we have 'the undressed manager'! Have you ever seen a billion dollars? Can you imagine what a couple hundred billion dollars looks like....or perhaps a better question on what would you spend hundreds of billions of dollars on? The answer is poverty.... HIV and AIDS.... refugees.... starvation, education, electrification. So why do we still have so many poor, uneducated, starving people in the 21st century? Indeed a good question, with several possible answers. The author of 'the undressed manager' believes that a big part of the problem lies in poor management practices.... NOT mis-management.... that's a whole other issue.... just plain old lack of knowing how to identify the real problems, how to find solutions and how to manage the basic resources of people, equipment and money for undertaking development projects. 'the undressed manager' is an attempt.... and hopefully a good one.... that tries to get people back to the BASICS when thinking about, designing, planning and implementing humanitarian type, development programs and projects. This book is a 'how to' guide, a reference and management training handbook.... all wrapped up into one.... and with out the 'development set jargon' that tends to be confusing to most of us anyway. The handbook starts at the beginning with the necessities of setting up an organization and ends with the handing over of your project. The step by step process, written in a simple, understandable language ....contains all the needed ingredients for managing every aspect of a development project. Enjoy using it.... and most of all enjoy adding your own experiences to the handbook for others use.

Why Women Want What They Can't Have / Peter Andrew Sacco ; Ph. D.. New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2009. One of the greatest negative side-effects of gender differences is the high prevalence of divorce and separation rates among couples which haunts our society. These varied differences precipitate, antagonize and facilitate problems in relationships. If we could only understand them better and turn them around into positives, we could perhaps facilitate longer-term, healthier relationships. This book explains the concept and dynamics of relationships. Providing insights into why gender differences exist, it delves into the heart of the problem-societal expectations and tainted gender socialization-leading to the failure of the relationships. Also, it examines why women continue to be superior in their androgynous qualities and why men are struggling to keep pace. Man-woman relationships.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2009. In the whole range of Sanskrit poetics, the term vakrokti took altogether a new significance and the highest position as the all pervading poetic concept in Kuntaka's Vakroktijivita. He revived the concept from more verbal poetic figure to the lessons of poetry. He not only explains but also explores the multi-dimensional aspects of Vakrokti. But unfortunately, no comprehensive study of Vakrokti has been done in a systematic way. This book is an effort in this direction. Presenting the major schools of Sanskrit poetics, the book gives general definition of vakrokti and its multi-dimensional implications. Further taking a close look at the views of different theorists on vakrokti, it exposes in detail kuntaka's theory of vakrokti and makes its critical analysis in relation to various literary concepts-alankara, svabhavokti, rasavadalankara, marga and rasa. Finally, it deals with the striking similarities between dhvani and vakrokti, and brings out the fundamental aspects of practical criticism as showed by kuntaka. Kuntaka, fl. 950-. Vakroktijīvita.

Prakash Dash Pranayama and Breathing Practices in Yoga / K. Prakash Dash. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Pranayama is in vogue today but few are really aware of its subtle yet profound effects on the mind. Pranayama involves much more than a few breathing exercises; it is a holistic experience that encompasses the body and the mind. Pranayama is regarded prolonged or subtle according to its three components, the external, the internal and the steady; the retention processes are modified by the regulations of space, time and number. The practice of the Complete Breath will make any man or woman immune to Consumption and other pulmonary troubles, and will do away with all liability to contract “colds,” as well as bronchial and similar weaknesses. Consumption is due principally to lowered vitality attributable to an insufficient amount of air being inhaled. The impairment of vitality renders the system open to attacks from disease germs. Imperfect breathing allows a considerable part of the lungs to remain inactive, and such portions offer an inviting field for bacilli, which invading the weakened tissue soon produce havoc. Good healthy lung tissue will resist the germs, and the only way to have good, healthy lung tissue is to use the lungs properly. The book explains in simple terms: How to identify and correct our faulty patterns of breathing. How to practice pranayama with understanding and safety.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2019. 240 pages Yoga is widely known for reducing stress, improving flexibility and concentration, and promoting a sense of peace—to name just a few of its possible positive outcomes. On top of its physical benefits, however, researchers are beginning to understand more about yoga's therapeutic benefits for mental health concerns. In fact, some research indicates that yoga can be an effective prescription for a myriad of the most common reasons why people seek psychotherapy. Yoga psychology is both a positive and a normative science. It not only analyses human personality and its growth, but sets normative ideals and prescribes techniques to achieve such objectives, as well. Thus, expansion of consciousness and making oneself the master of his/her mind are the broad objectives of yoga psychology. The topological aspect of mind as described by Freud in terms of conscious, subconscious and unconscious levels was well detailed in the yogic literature, thousands of years ago. The sound practice of yoga enables one to have a disease-free body and keen intellect. Hopefully, the present study will be useful for the students and teachers of physical education and sports sciences, instructors and those interested in the sciences of yoga. Yoga--Health aspects.

New Delhi 2019. 240 pages The Yoga Sutra, widely regarded as the authoritative text on yoga, is a collection of aphorisms, outlining the eight limbs of yoga. These threads (as sutra translates from Sanskrit) of wisdom offer guidelines for living a meaningful and purposeful life. Learn more about the sutras and Patanjali, the sage who wrote them. Yoga philosophy, often simply referred to as yoga, is one of the six main darshans, or the orthodox schools of Hinduism. The origins of this philosophy are unclear, but first references can be found in the Upanishads from the 1st millenium B.C.E. Yoga is a dualist philosophy, working with two fundamental realities: purusha, meaning pure consciousness, and prakriti, meaning matter. Every living being is a form of connection of these two realities and every living being is considered a union of body and mind. The path of yoga is guided by ethical principles, yamas and niyamas, and should ultimately result in moksha (spiritual liberation). The philosophers and practitioners of Yoga developed this theory and practice of self discipline which is very much required to remove physical and mental illness completely if practiced daily as per the instructions of the guru. The difficult problems of terrorism of today can also be eradicated by the practice of Yoga. Yoga. Philosophy, Indic.

New Delhi Shhalaj Publishing House 2022. Where do the Baruas stand in Buddhist religious universe? Could they be categorized as Bengali Buddhists? Such intriguing questions are addressed headlong here and answers are ferreted out of the troves of history. A large swathe of these frankly devout people is now found settled in and around Siliguri town, a gateway to the North-Eastern hinterland. But their antecedents are immensely spectacular, yet problematic. As settlers, how far their religious moorings carry them through the alienated environs of a majoritarian Hindu society? How proficient they are in border maintenance and syncretism? This ethnographic study of Bengali Barua Buddhists gives the reader a critical insight into everyday sociological practices of these struggling survivors of an ancient religion. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260915175222.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195668922 HG5731.S27 2023 332.60954 23 S.V.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was a legendary educationist, a Sanskrit scholar and a social reformer who not only changed the Bengali alphabet and type but also challenged Hindu orthodoxy by playing a pivotal role in passing the Widow Remarriage Act. He also fought for women’s education and vigorously challenged the barbaric practice of child marriage. Standing tall against the conservative power centres of Hindu society, Vidyasagar was a man who was way ahead of his times. In light of the desecration of his statue, it is time to remind ourselves about this visionary of modern Indian history. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar’s pioneering work in Bengali prose certainly deserves the very best of appreciation. He mostly devoted his time writing reformist literature and textbooks. Vidyasagar cannot be judged as one of the best pure literary figures of Bengal but his simplification of idiomatic expressions and clarification of the writing style provided the sound base on which latter Bengali writers like Tekchand Thakur, Pyarichand Mitra and Bankim Chandra Chatterjee built their literary superstructures. Vidhyasagar also wrote biographical notes on numerous noteworthy personalities in the history of the world so that the young generation could be inspired by reading the great examples of their endurance, hard work, honesty, patience, perseverance, courage, determination and philosophy of life. Disillusioned by the lack of tangible public support, he spent the last two decades with the Santhal tribes in present-day Jharkhand. There, he opened the first school for tribal girls. The present book offers a comprehensive insite of the life and legacy of the Indian reformer and intellectual, Ishvarchandra Vidyasagar (1820–91). A must read book for all who are interested in the social life of british raj and reformers struggle in bengal. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260915175222.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669219 DS481.A525S56 2020 305.56880954 23 Nareshwar Singh Ambedkar, Dalits and Buddhism / Nareshwar Singh. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Ambedkar combined fearless and trenchant criticism of religion with a deep sympathy and understanding of it. When he diagnosed Hinduism as a religion of inequality because it sanctified caste or when he converted to Buddhism with his followers, Ambedkar was saying that religion can be and must be criticized. The Dalit Buddhist movement is a socio-political movement by Dalits in India started by B. R. Ambedkar. It radically re-interpreted Buddhism and created a new school of Buddhism called Navayana. The movement has sought to be a socially and politically engaged form of Buddhism. Ambedkar felt that Hinduism had failed to secure basic human rights for his people, perpetuating caste injustices instead. It would, however, take more than 20 years before the leader finally adopted Buddhism, taking his time to pour over teachings of different religions. Ambedkar also attended various meetings with people of different faiths and denomination analysing the pros and cons of conversion and its implications for the country’s Dalit population. Dr. Ambedkar chose Buddhism for its strong emphasis on Self Help Liberty, Equality and Fraternity are the core ideals in Buddhism. A human being is seen as a human being. The three tenets of Buddha are Awareness, Kindness and Wisdom. The present book is an important resource guide for all those interested in dalit and ambedkar studies. Ambedkar, B. R.

Singh Ambedkar's Perspective on Buddhism and other Religions / S. K. Singh. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Just as there are billions of people on this planet, there are also billions of different dispositions and inclinations. From the Buddhist point of view, a wide choice of religions is needed to suit the varied needs of different people. Buddhism recognizes that all religions share the same aim of working for the well-being of mankind. Ambedkar converted to Buddhism in 1956. For two decades, he studied all major religions to conclude Buddha and his teachings allowed reform. Ambedkar compares the four religious teachers to find another distinction between Buddha and the rest. He says that both Jesus and Mohammed claimed that what they taught was the word of God and (thus) was beyond question. Krishna was, according to his own assumption, a God of Gods and therefore the question of infallibility did not even arise. The Buddha claimed no such infallibility for what he taught. In the Mahaparinibbana Sutta, he told Ananda that his followers should not accept his teaching as correct and binding merely because they emanated from Him. Being based on reason and experience, the followers were free to modify or even to abandon any of his teachings if it was found that at a given time and in given circumstances they do not apply. The present book is an attempt to describe Ambedkar’s overview on religions and the reason to choose Buddhism over other religions.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. Since the 1960s and the origins of the modern human rights movement, human rights organizations have produced their own research. In-depth and well-documented reports, replete with testimonial evidence and analysis of government policy and practice, are the stock-in-trade product of human rights organizations. They serve as the basis of lobbying and campaign efforts, and they provide the underpinnings of organizational reputation and credibility. Human rights organizations invented the genre of human rights research. It typically resembles evidence gathered for a legal argument rather than analysis in the tradition of social science. Human rights organizations do not seek to describe general social conditions; rather, the main objective of human rights reporting is to document patterns of human rights violations and expose the perpetrators, institutions and policies that facilitate abuse. This comprehensive book will be an essential reading for any PhD candidate embarking on a dissertation in the field of human rights and any human rights scholar wishing to critically reflect on the quality of her/his own methods of work. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260913094833.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669240 Narendra Jha The Natya Sastra of Bharata Muni / Narendra Jha. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Classical Sanskrit theatre reached its boom during the first nine centuries (BCE). It was Sanskrit grammarian Panini who brought to fore the aphorisms on acting. Kautilya’s book on statesmanship the Artha-shastra (4th century bce) depicted allusions to actors, dancers, theatrical companies and academies. Beyond this, the form, style and classical structure of aesthetic acting were consolidated in Bharata Muni’s treatise on dramaturgy, Natya-shastra. Bharata defined drama as… Mimicry of the actions and conduct of people, rich in various emotions, and depicting different situations; this relates to actions of men as good, bad and indifferent and gives courage, amusement, happiness, and advice to all of them. Bharata slotted drama in 10 types. The two most important ones are are: nataka (heroic) and prakarana (social). Nataka deals with eulogy and gallant themes of gods and kings and draws its roots from epical history or mythology, namely, Kalidasa’s Shakuntala and Bhavabhuti’s Uttararamacharita. The present book of the Natyasastra is elevant to literature, poetry and drama as it is to architecture, sculpture, painting, music and dance. Its comprehensive treatment of artistic experience, expression communication, content and form emerges from an integral vision which flowers as a many-branched tree of all Indian arts. The book will be a great reference guide for theatre students and artists in their study and practice. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260915175222.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669257 Nandani Srivastava Imaging Sound An Ethnomusicological Study of Music, Art and Culture / Nandani Srivastava. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Music is a universal language. Musical and cultural sustainability are inseparable from environmental ecosystem sustainability. That’s been one of this blog’s themes from the outset. Sustainability and innovation are essential elements in the live-music business today. Every culture in the world has its own form of music that is enjoyed by all ages on every continent. Although each culture is different, music unifies all races and has been used throughout history for different occasions and for enjoyment purposes. Ethnomusicology is the study of music from the cultural and social aspects of the people who make it. It encompasses distinct theoretical and methodical approaches that emphasize cultural, social, material, cognitive, biological, and other dimensions or contexts of musical behavior, instead of only its isolated sound component. Folklorists, who began preserving and studying folklore music in Europe and the US in the 19th century, are considered the precursors of the field prior to the Second World War. Choreomusicologists hold that studying the variable relationships between sound and movement in diverse performance arts can provide insight into perceptual sensibilities, cultural processes, and interpersonal dynamics. This informative book will be of interest to students, musicologists and social scientists in general. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260915175222.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669264 Kumkum Narayan Child Abuse and Human Rights / Kumkum Narayan. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Childhood is a time in life that should be filled with joy and imagination, and free of fear and any serious responsibility. However, for many people, this not their reality, as abuse and trauma have warped their experience of it. Canadian Red Cross defines child abuse as “any form of physical, emotional and/or sexual mistreatment or lack of care that causes injury or emotional damage to a child or youth …” Emotional abuse, exposure to family violence, physical abuse and sexual abuse are all forms of child abuse. According to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a child is any person below the age of 18. As such, just like any other person, s/he has rights. Governments should ensure that children are properly cared for and protect them from violence, abuse and neglect by their parents, or anyone else who looks after them. According to a factsheet published by the World Health Organization (WHO), abuse has many consequences. Aside from bruises and physical injuries, it can lead to development delays, drug abuse, depression, stress disorders, self-harm and many more. The fact sheet also states that parent training and home visiting programs can be implemented in order to prevent child abuse or at least help reduce child maltreatment rates. Since child abuse has become a global problem, many countries took the initiatives to deal with and solve this issue. This comprehensive book aims at a broader academic and public audience interested in the many aspects and ramifications of Children's rights and Human development. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260915175222.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669271 Sanjeev Sinha E-learning Research / Sanjeev Sinha. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages A learning system based on formalised teaching but with the help of electronic resources is known as E-learning. While teaching can be based in or out of the classrooms, the use of computers and the Internet forms the major component of E-learning. E-learning can also be termed as a network enabled transfer of skills and knowledge, and the delivery of education is made to a large number of recipients at the same or different times. Earlier, it was not accepted wholeheartedly as it was assumed that this system lacked the human element required in learning. e-Learning research is an expanding and diversifying field of study. Specialist research units and departments proliferate. E-learning is playing very important role in the present educational scenario. It has potential to change the whole education system and due to this very reason it has become one of the most preferred subjects for the researchers.

New Delhi 2023. 480 pages Uttar Pradesh is a state in northern India. With roughly 200 million inhabitants, it is the most populous state in India as well as the most populous country subdivision in the world. It was created on 1 April 1937 as the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh during British rule, and was renamed Uttar Pradesh in 1950. The state is divided into 18 divisions and 75 districts with the capital being Lucknow. The main ethnic group is the Hindavi people, forming the demographic plurality. On 9 November 2000, a new state, Uttarakhand, was carved out from the state’s Himalayan hill region. The two major rivers of the state, the Ganga and Yamuna, join at Allahabad (Prayagraj) and then flow as the Ganga further east. Hindi is the most widely spoken language and is also the official language of the state, along with Urdu. It covers 243,290 square kilometres (93,933 sq mi), equal to 7.34% of the total area of India, and is the fourth-largest Indian state by area. Agriculture and service industries are the largest parts of the state’s economy. The service sector comprises travel and tourism, hotel industry, real estate, insurance and financial consultancies. The economy of Uttar Pradesh is the third-largest state economy in India with Rs. 15.42 lakh crore (US$220 billion) in gross domestic product and a per capita GDP of Rs. 61,000 (US$880). Covering almost all important topics this 2 volume encyclopaedia book on Uttar Pradesh will be very useful for students who are preparing for competitive exams and general readers. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260915175222.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669295 ML345.I43K86 2022 781.2640954 23 Nandita Kumari Ragas in Indian Music / Nandita Kumari. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Classical music has ancient roots, and it primarily developed due to the reverence for arts, for both spiritual (moksha) and entertainment (kama) purposes in Hinduism. The Buddha discouraged music aimed at entertainment, but encouraged chanting of sacred hymns.[34] The various canonical Tipitaka texts of Buddhism, for example, state Dasha-shila or ten precepts for those following the Buddhist spiritual path. Among these is the precept recommending “abstain from dancing, singing, music and worldly spectacles”. Buddhism does not forbid music or dance to a Buddhist layperson, but its emphasis has been on chants, not on musical raga. Raga, along with performance arts such as dance and music, has been historically integral to Hinduism, with some Hindus believing that music is itself a spiritual pursuit and a means to moksha (liberation). Râgas, in the Hindu tradition, are believed to have a natural existence. Artists don’t invent them, they only discover them. Music appeals to human beings, according to Hinduism, because they are hidden harmonies of the ultimate creation. This book deals with the communication of identical phrases and single notes projecting various shades within a particular raga or in different ragas. The book is a must read for students, teachers and music lovers interested in Indian Classical Music in depth. Raga--India.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages A museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment. Museums are mission-driven organizations and a cornerstone of civil society. Museums play an important role in the preservation of history. Museum studies, also called museology are the study of the design, organization and management of museums. Degree programs can help students gain an understanding of all facets of the museum business, from organization and administration to the acquisition, care and conservancy of historic artifacts and works of art. The latest movements in museology tend to focus on museums being interdisciplinary, multi-vocal, accessible, and open to criticism. While these critical discourses dominate contemporary museology, there are many different kinds of museums that exist today, some of which are engaged in new and innovative practices, and others that are more traditional and less critical. This book will be of interest to museum and heritage professionals and academics and senior students in Museum Studies. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260915175707.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669318 Ravindra Kumar Chaudhary Encyclopedia of Folk Music (5 Vol Set) / Ravindra Kumar Chaudhary. New Delhi 2023. 1200 pages The Musical sound is any tone with characteristics such as controlled pitch and timbre. From the tinkle of a bell to the slam of a door, any sound is a potential ingredient for the kinds of sound organization called music. Music arises from human behaviour, and the study of human behaviour is part of biology. Some believe that folk music originated as art music that was changed and probably debased by oral transmission, while reflecting the character of the society that produced it. In many societies, especially preliterate ones, the cultural transmission of folk music requires learning by ear, although notation has evolved in some cultures. Different cultures may have different notions concerning a division between “folk” music on the one hand and of “art” and “court” music on the other. In the proliferation of popular music genres, some traditional folk music became also referred to “World music” or “Roots music”. The most significant variations in musical exposure are where people belong to totally different cultures and each culture has its own distinct type of music. Not only are the tunes different, but the scales that the tunes live on are different. This five volume encyclopaedia book is an effort to collect folk music play in various parts of the world. This collection will be emensaly useful reference for students of musicoloty and all those interested and related to the music field in any manner. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260913094827.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669325 BQ4055.K86 2020 294.3 23 Arun Kumar Buddhism: Connexion with Brahmanism, Hinduism and Contrast with Christianity / Arun Kumar. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Many think of Buddhism as a tolerant religion, one that recognizes the value of all religious traditions. The main difference between Brahmanism and Buddhism is the notion of the belief in there being a soul (Brahamism/Hinduism) and no soul or non-self (Buddhism). Buddhism and Hinduism agree on karma, dharma, moksha and reincarnation. They are different in that Buddhism rejects the priests of Hinduism, the formal rituals, and the caste system. Buddha urged people to seek enlightenment through meditation. The Western religion of Islam grew from the Jewish and Christian traditions. Muslims worship a single, external deity, and follows a strict moral code based on their holy book, the Quran. Buddhism and Hinduism are Eastern religions. Like Islam, Hinduism looks to an outward deity, while Buddhism advocates that practitioners look inside themselves to find enlightenment. In recent years, there have been growing numbers of Buddhist-Christian dialogues and Buddhist-Jewish dialogues. The present book is a valuable resource guide for students that provides an integrated introduction to the social and spiritual values at the centre of Buddhist thought compare to other religions.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Indigenous is defined as “originating or occurring naturally in a particular place.” Indigenous can be used to define species of plants and animals that originated in a particular place. It is also used more broadly to refer to native people, those who were here first. Indigenous methodologies tend to approach cultural protocols, values and behaviors as an integral part of methodology. Over the past few decades, scholars involved in research on, with and about indigenous peoples have been discussing a great variety of issues relating to indigenous research, which may be viewed from an indigenous perspective, or from an outside perspective, or from the perspective of a collaboration between a particular indigenous people and outside experts. Some of the most important issues are as follows: critiques of previous research, conducted by outside researchers; indigenous approaches, the decolonization of methodology and the human mind; indigenous epistemologies and epistemological racism; culturally safe research, protection from misinterpretation; mystification and fragmentation of indigenous knowledge; the invention of tradition; the notion of objectivity; legitimation, power and control over research on indigenous issues; intellectual property and ownership of indigenous knowledge; mutual benefit between the researcher and the studied indigenous community; interdisciplinarity and the accountability of indigenous research, etc. This Concise and accessible book will be an ideal supplementary text for anyone conducting Indigenous research or using Indigenous population statistics.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Ambedkar was born into the “untouchable” caste of Mahars in the Indian state of Maharashtra. At the time, untouchables suffered under legal restrictions that made the Jim Crow laws of the United States look mild by comparison. They traditionally performed jobs considered “unclean” by Hindu theology: a religious and economic catch-22 in which they were ritually unclean because of the work they did and could only do certain types of work because they were ritually unclean. They were not allowed to enter Hindu temples–in some regions they couldn’t even walk on the road in front of a temple. In the South Idian state of Travancore, untouchables had to carry a bell that announced their presence so higher caste Hindus would not be defiled by their proximity. Like African-American reformer Frederick Douglas, Ambedkar became a spokesman for an oppressed people. Ambedkar devoted himself to improving the lives of untouchables. He soon found himself in conflict with Gandhi, who had declared himself an untouchable by choice.. Ambedkar recognized that it was easier to change laws than to change people’s hearts and heads. In 1935, after an unsuccessful five-year campaign to gain the right to enter Hindu temples, Ambedkar decided if you can’t beat them, leave them. The present book shed a light on Ambedkar’s beliefs and work related to caste, untouchables and Untouchability. The book will be useful for understanding caste and untouchability issues. A must read book for all interested on the subject. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260915175707.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669356 Sunita Mukharjee B. R. Ambedkar's Writings on Brahmanical Patriarchy / Sunita Mukharjee. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Patriarchy is a social system in which men hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property. Some patriarchal societies are also patrilineal, meaning that property and title are inherited by the male lineage. Patriarchy is associated with a set of ideas, a patriarchal ideology that acts to explain and justify this dominance and attributes it to inherent natural differences between men and women. Women folk internalised the norms pointed by Manu that, “a woman who controlling her thoughts, speech and acts violates not her duty toward her lord, dwell with him after death in heaven and is called ‘sadhvi’, a chaste woman, a faithful wife “(Ibid: 584). Acceptance of these norms by upper castes women create a form of false consciousness about their subordination in the larger class-caste structure where they themselves invests complete reliance on this purity - pollution belief. They fail to conceptualise, how they are victimised in this endogamous and close end caste structured society, which give them explicit reward of caste and class position but implicitly they are subordinated in patriarchy. This book is a brilliant and timely intervention in feminist scholarship in India, Dalit studies, legal sociology, and the sociology of caste. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260913094832.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669363 KNS2107.M56S58 2022 342.540873 23 Ravi Kant Shukla Rights of Scheduled tribes of India: Acts, Commissions and Recommendation / Ravi Kant Shukla. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages The word ‘Tribe’ denotes a group of people living in primitive and ruthless conditions. These tribes are a social group living in a fixed territory having no such specialization of functions and the people living in these social groups are known as tribes or tribal people. Tribes also have several sub groups and collectively they are known as ‘Tribal Society’. Tribes are the inhabitants of forests since pre history and even in this modern world this trend is followed by many people. Tribes constitute around 8.6 percent of the total Indian population, and of the total tribal population around 80 percent are found in Central India. India has the second largest tribal population in the world. In India, Scheduled Tribes are mainly spread across the forests and hilly regions of India. Tribes in India are mainly characterised by their geographical location and distinct culture. In India, tribes are treated very low, are execrated and are even treated as untouchables by the prevailing adherence to social norms and caste system. The tribal people were compelled to perform duties which were considered inferior because of their economic backwardness and illiteracy. Since, these people were ill treated and were not enjoying equal status with other people which is guaranteed to all the citizens of India by Article 14 of The Constitution of India i.e., “ The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India”, so there was a need to provide these tribal people some rights for their welfare and development. The present book will be useful to scholars and researchers of tribal and Third World studies, sociology and social anthropology.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Sanskrit drama is part of Sanskrit literature, the classical literature of India, which flourished from about 1500 BC to about AD 1100. The earliest extant critical work on Sanskrit drama is attributed to Bharata, the legendary formulator of the dramatic art in India. That work, the Na ya-sastra (c.2d cent. AD) is relatively late but could be a reworking of a much earlier version. References to the drama and to dramatic criticism in the work of the grammarian Panini constitute a more certain indication of an early date for Sanskrit drama. The earliest-known Sanskrit playwright was Bhasa (c.3d cent. AD) while among the most renowned were Kalidasa , Bhavabhuti (c.8th cent. AD), and King Harsha . Few Sanskrit plays survive, perhaps due to the limited size of their exclusively aristocratic audience as well as to their antiquity. Mahakavya, a particular form of the Sanskrit literary style known as kavya. It is a short epic similar to the epyllion and is characterized by elaborate figures of speech. The present book explores the greatest Sanskrit epic poetry with special reference to the depiction of Hindu mythology.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages The highest of all possible human goals is the attainment of complete enlightenment, an ultimate state of peace in which all obstacles obscuring the mind have been removed and all good qualities such as wisdom, compassion, and skillful means have been fully developed. However, we cannot reach this ultimate goal merely by waiting for it; we need to use the appropriate methods to take us there. What are the methods for attaining the peace of full enlightenment? They are the paths of Sutra and Secret Mantra; there is no third method. Of these two, the techniques revealed in Secret Mantra are superior to those revealed in the Sutras. Not only is Secret Mantra the supreme path to full enlightenment, it is also extremely rare. As Je Tsongkhapa said, the teachings of Secret Mantra are even rarer than the Buddhas because, although a thousand founding Buddhas will appear during this Fortunate Eon, only the fourth (Buddha Shakyamuni), the eleventh, and the last will teach the paths of Secret Mantra. At the moment, we have a great opportunity to practice these rare and beneficial teachings, so it is important that we develop a strong intention to practice them purely. If the Mahayana teachings were to vanish from this world, we would have no opportunity to become a Buddha. Therefore, while we still have access to these precious teachings, we should apply ourself to them assiduously and try to gain some experience of them.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages If we look to the history of Dalit movement, it is as old as the birth of the concept of untouchability, which was the darkest spot in Hindu social structure. It is known history that Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s intense struggle against the British rulers and the Indian society and its leaders resulted in recognizing for the first time the political rights of dalits in the Communal Award of 1932 given by PM Ramsay MacDonald after the debates and decisions of the Round Table Conferences. Like other communities, dalits were also given separate electorates to send their representatives to the central and provincial assemblies. With this the political and social identity of the dalits got established. The Hindu society and its leaders led by Mahatma Gandhi were dead against this happening. It is indeed to note that even after seventy two years of our Independence and Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the empowermentofdalits in general and dalit girls in particular, the field of education remains unsatisfactory. The various schemes and policies have failed in accelerating and retaining the dalit in education sector. This book is an effort to understand ambedkar and gandhi’s stand and efforts on dalit empowerment. A good read book for students, social workers and all interested in dalit issues and empowerment. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260913094837.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669424 N8193.I4K86 2022 704.9489430954 23 Uday Kumar Buddhist Art and Culture: Symbols and Significance / Uday Kumar. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Buddhist art & culture is a huge topic with an enormous range of material available for discussion. Buddhist art refers to the rich and diverse representations of religious images, sculpture, dance, visual mythology, and symbols deriving from the various Buddhist communities found around the world. Buddhist culture is exemplified through Buddhist art, Buddhist architecture, Buddhist music and Buddhist cuisine. It is not known what the role of the image was in Early Buddhism, although many surviving images can be found because their symbolic or representative nature was not clearly explained in early texts. Among the earliest and most common symbols of Buddhism are the stupa, Dharma wheel, and the lotus flower. The dharma wheel, traditionally represented with eight spokes, can have a variety of meanings. It initially only meant royalty, but started to be used in a Buddhist context on the Pillars of Ashoka during the 3rd century BC. The Dharma wheel is generally seen as referring to the historical process of teaching the buddhadharma; the eight spokes refer to the Noble Eightfold Path. The lotus, as well, can have several meanings, often referring to the inherently pure potential of the mind. Other early symbols include the Trisula, a symbol used since around the 2nd century BC that combine the lotus, the vajra diamond rod and a symbolization of the three jewels. This valuable book is the perfect introductory text for all those intrigued by this splendid aesthetic tradition. It is also an essential resource for all who seek to understand Buddhist art as teaching. Buddhist art--India. Buddhist antiquities--India. Buddhist civilization.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Research is “creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications.” To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole. Though diverse models for the scientific method are available, there is in general a continuous process that includes observations about the natural world. People are naturally inquisitive, so they often come up with questions about things they see or hear, and they often develop ideas or hypotheses about why things are the way they are. The best hypotheses lead to predictions that can be tested in various ways. The most conclusive testing of hypotheses comes from reasoning based on carefully controlled experimental data. Depending on how well additional tests match the predictions, the original hypothesis may require refinement, alteration, expansion or even rejection. If a particular hypothesis becomes very well supported, a general theory may be developed. Mostly, research work is presented in a written form. The practical utility of research study depends heavily on the way it is presented to those who are expected to act on the basis of research findings. The present book will be an essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the social sciences embarking on quantitative or qualitative research projects. LCC Q.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance: a play, opera, mime, ballet, etc., performed in a theatre, or on radio or television. Considered as a genre of poetry in general, the dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle’s Poetics (c. 335 BC)—the earliest work of dramatic theory. The enactment of drama in theatre, performed by actors on a stage before an audience, presupposes collaborative modes of production and a collective form of reception. The structure of dramatic texts, unlike other forms of literature, is directly influenced by this collaborative production and collective reception. Dramatic play is a form of symbolic play where a child pretends to take on a role of someone else, imitating actions and speech from earlier observed situations. When another person becomes involved in the play, it is called sociodramatic play. The elements of reality and make-believe are involved as children imitate real-life people and situations they have experienced, but because they are unable to imitate exactly what they have observed, make-believe enters their play. The present book will serve as the standard reference book for theatre/drama education researchers, policymakers, practitioners and students around the world. A basic companion for researchers, students, and teachers, this source book outlines the key concepts that make the field prominent in the sphere of Arts Education. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260913094837.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669455 Mohan Kumar Indigenous Medicine and Knowledge / Mohan Kumar. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Indigenous knowledge simply refers to health practices, approaches, knowledge and beliefs incorporating plant, animal and mineral based medicines, spiritual therapies, manual techniques and exercises, applied singly or in combination to treat, diagnose and prevent illnesses or maintain well-being. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines traditional medicine as “the sum total of the knowledge, skills, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness”. Traditional medicine is contrasted with scientific medicine. In the written record, the study of herbs dates back 5,000 years to the ancient Sumerians, who described well-established medicinal uses for plants. One of the more popular examples of a home remedy is the use of chicken soup to treat respiratory infections such as a cold or mild flu. Other examples of home remedies include duct tape to help with setting broken bones; and duct tape or superglue to treat plantar warts; and Kogelmogel to treat sore throat. In earlier times, mothers were entrusted with all but serious remedies. The book deals with questions concerning compatibility and incompatibility of different ways of knowing and delves into epistemological stances, and the assumptions underlying these epistemologies. This book will be a valuable resource guide for all especially who are related to policy making. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260915175706.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669462 K3240.M87 2020 341.48 23 Md.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Many organizations around the world dedicate their efforts to protecting human rights and ending human rights abuses. Public support and condemnation of abuses is important to their success, as human rights organizations are most effective when their calls for reform are backed by strong public advocacy. Non Governmental Organization is one of the examples of such groups. In every part of the globe, there are Non-Governmental Organizations’ (NGOs) working every hour of the day to document the injustices heaped upon women, children and the under-class, standing beneath the bottom rung of the society. By their active campaigning, they remind Governments to keep their promise in order to give practical shape to goals set by various national and international conventions on human rights. India is estimated to have between 1 million and 2 million NGOs. The NGO are a necessary corollary to the democratic machinery of the government, they are means of democratic empowerment of those who are less powerful and less advantaged as the government machinery and its authorized institution are not always sufficient to guarantee the protection of human right. This book provides valuable concepts to students, social workers, human rights practitioners, political scientists, antipoverty advocates, and leaders who are serious about ending social and economical discriminations and protecting human rights.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Indus civilization, also called Indus valley civilization or Harappan civilization is the earliest known urban culture of the Indian subcontinent. The nuclear dates of the civilization appear to be about 2500–1700 BCE, though the southern sites may have lasted later into the 2nd millennium BCE. The Indus civilization is known to have consisted of two large cities, Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, and more than 100 towns and villages, often of relatively small size. The two cities were each perhaps originally about 1 mile (1.6 km) square in overall dimensions, and their outstanding magnitude suggests political centralization, either in two large states or in a single great empire with alternative capitals, a practice having analogies in Indian history. It is also possible that Harappa succeeded Mohenjo-daro, which is known to have been devastated more than once by exceptional floods. The southern region of the civilization, on the Kathiawar Peninsula and beyond, appears to be of later origin than the major Indus sites. The civilization was literate, and its script, with some 250 to 500 characters, has been partly and tentatively deciphered; the language has been indefinitely identified as Dravidian.

New Delhi 2023. 480 pages The Punjab, also spelled and romanised as Panjâb, is a geopolitical, cultural and historical region in South Asia, specifically in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, comprising areas of eastern Pakistan and northern India. The boundaries of the region are ill-defined and focus on historical accounts. The geographical definition of the term “Punjab” has changed over time: in the 16th century Mughal Empire it referred to a relatively smaller area lying between the Indus and the Sutlej rivers. In 1947, the Punjab Province of British India was divided along religious lines into West Punjab and East Punjab. The western part was assimilated into Pakistan while the east became part of India. The Indian Punjab as well as PEPSU was divided into three parts on the basis of language in 1966. The history of Punjab has witnessed the migration and settlement of innumerable races, forming a melting pot of Punjabi civilisation. The first traces of human habitation in India were found in the Punjab region. With 27,704,236 inhabitants at the 2011 census, Punjab is the 16th-largest state by population, comprising 22 districts. Punjabi is the most widely spoken and official language of the state. The main ethnic group are the Punjabis, with Sikhs (58%) and Hindus (38%). The present two volume encyclopedia book offers a comprehensive historical and cultural statement on one of the largest and most important communities in India today. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260913094833.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669493 Anup Kumar The Bounteous Tree-Treasures in Indian Art and Culture / Anup Kumar. New Delhi 2023. 240 pages Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author’s imaginative, conceptual ideas, or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. Other activities related to the production of works of art include the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art. The three classical branches of art are painting, sculpture and architecture. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of the arts. Indian art consists of a variety of art forms, including painting, sculpture, pottery, and textile arts such as woven silk. Geographically, it spans the entire Indian subcontinent, including what is now India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and eastern Afghanistan. A strong sense of design is characteristic of Indian art and can be observed in its modern and traditional forms. The origin of Indian art can be traced to pre-historic settlements in the 3rd millennium BC. There is no clear line between art and culture. Cultural fields like gastronomy are sometimes considered as arts. This valuable book will be useful for anyone interested in ancient civilizations. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260915175836.0 260918s2023 ii 00 0 eng d 9788195669608 BL1153.7.A96 2023 DDC294.509542 Namratha Mogaral In the Shadow of Ram / Namratha Mogaral. New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2023. 155 pages This book argues that the inscription found in the now extinct Babri masjid should be named as Visnu-hare instead of Visnu-hari since this title does not refer to any god but to the three Gahadavala rajas who had it made. It also challenges that the Sanskrit phrase janma bhumi means Ram's birth place; instead it suggests that in this language jan means folk rather, referring to Ayodhya as land of folk. The Gahadavala temple there had been renovated from an earlier Chola temple at the spot. It was dedicated to goddess Sri Sundara Amman, the Telugu Jaina goddess of beauty & art and devadasi cult. And the so called Ram foot prints found there belonged to the Gahadavala heir Vallabha. Further it proposes that the Gahadavala kings during the time of the inscription circa lOth century CE had become intermarried for three generations into the Ghaznavid and Suri-Shahi families who ruled Samarkhand and the Sindh provinces and formed an international elite. The Babri masjid dedicated to sambo shankara and a whole series of masjid-temple complexes at Kashi, Mathura, Prabhasa and elsewhere were the outcome of these interfaith marriages. During the time of the Gahadavala heir Vallabha, who took the title Prithviraj Chauhan Karpura and who had married none other than Padmavati the princess of Sri Lanka, the temples must have become extinct due to Bhakti ages' sectarian politics on the Hindu side, as all these temples had been dedicated to devadasi practice.

New Delhi 2023. 240 pages India is a country with enormous social and cultural diversity due to its positioning on the crossroads of many historic and pre-historic human migrations. The hierarchical caste system in the Hindu society dominates the social structure of the Indian populations. The origin of the caste system in India is a matter of debate with many linguists and anthropologists suggesting that it began with the arrival of Indo-European speakers from Central Asia about 3500 years ago. Previous genetic studies based on Indian populations failed to achieve a consensus in this regard. We analysed the Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA of three tribal populations of southern India, compared the results with available data from the Indian subcontinent and tried to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Indian caste and tribal populations. No significant difference was observed in the mitochondrial DNA between Indian tribal and caste populations, except for the presence of a higher frequency of west Eurasian-specific haplogroups in the higher castes, mostly in the north western part of India. On the other hand, the study of the Indian Y lineages revealed distinct distribution patterns among caste and tribal populations. The paternal lineages of Indian lower castes showed significantly closer affinity to the tribal populations than to the upper castes. The frequencies of deep-rooted Y haplogroups such as M89, M52, and M95 were higher in the lower castes and tribes, compared to the upper castes. The book is intended not only for undergraduate and postgraduate students of biotechnology, genomics and related sciences, but is also aimed to draw attention of policy makers and teachers at national and international levels to the possible approaches in the field of biotechnology. 00000nam a22000008i 4500 20260913094904.0 260918s2024 ii 00 0 eng d 9789334028188 RM222.2.T74 2024 613.25 23 Rajat Trehan Decoding obesity / Rajat Trehan.

New Delhi Shhalaj Publishing House 2025. 266 pages This book analyzes existing policies and laws related to infrastructure development, highlighting the need for a more coordinated approach to avoid wasteful public expenditure. It emphasizes that current infrastructure projects are developed piecemeal, lacking comprehensive planning. For example, when roads are built, utilities like telecom, gas, and electricity are often overlooked, leading to duplication of work and resource wastage. Different departments, such as railways, transport, and utilities, operate independently without coordination. While initiatives like the Smart City concept and the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan aim to integrate efforts, there is still no comprehensive law or policy addressing this issue.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2011. No doubt, we want peace. But peace is not like a commodity which can be purchased outside. We have sought to find out it outside instead of inside ourselves. Man must therefore begin to search within through introspection. This turning inward of soul is the beginning of spiritual life and leads us towards human values. All these human values are the source of our peace and bliss, which are observed in the Vedas, Upanisads, Gita and Puranas. This book puts together some thought provoking philosophical articles on different aspects of peace which can show the ways and means towards the realisation of peace. Peace (Philosophy).

Swami Vivekananda not only introduced them to the general public, but also tried to convince them that the Upanisads have solutions to our common problems.

Specially focusing on man's pursuit of happiness, the book attempts to summarise the entire Gita teaching into a two-part recipe for finding the happiness within oneself, namely 'Take lightly all that happens to you. And take all our obligations seriously, without fear of results or favour of rewards.' To arrive at this methodology for action, the author relics heavily on the Vedantic school of advaita (non-duality and its maxim, The real 'I' is neither the doer nor the experiencer. The philosophy of non-duality itself is explained in the simplest terms through a long conversation.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2011. 108 pages div class=ck-content stickystyles-wrapper-insert style=font-family:Segoe UI;font-size:11pt; dir=ltr data-wrapper=trueDeepa Mehta is an acclaimed Indo-Canadian script writer and film director. She challenges conservative social mores and attempts to rewrite history, representing 'her' story instead of 'his'. Mehta has been a controversial figure ever since 1998 when her film Fire was banned in India for its explicit portrayal of lesbianism. Her next film Earth spoke of the Partition of India and how it affected the lives of women. With her third film Water, Mehta again ran into trouble with fundamentalists when she tried to focus on the shabby treatment meted out to widows by traditional Hindu society.This book makes a critical study of Deepa Mehta's 'Elemental Trilogy'— Fire, Earth and Water. Focusing on the film texts, it examines the silent spaces in-between the signifiers and tunes into the unheard voices that patriarchy has been deaf to. It also studies the impact of Mehta's work, critically analyzing the hostile reception accorded to her work, and the by-and-large-favourable response of the female section of the society.

She challenges conservative social mores and attempts to rewrite history, representing 'her' story instead of 'his'. Mehta has been a controversial figure ever since 1998 when her film Fire was banned in India for its explicit portrayal of lesbianism. Her next film Earth spoke of the Partition of India and how it affected the lives of women. With her third film Water, Mehta again ran into trouble with fundamentalists when she tried to focus on the shabby treatment meted out to widows by traditional Hindu society.This book makes a critical study of Deepa Mehta's 'Elemental Trilogy'— Fire, Earth and Water.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2009. 1 online resource We have 'Word for Dummies'.... 'Marketing for Idiots'.... and hundreds of 'How to Do Books'.... and NOW we have 'the undressed manager'! Have you ever seen a billion dollars? Can you imagine what a couple hundred billion dollars looks like....or perhaps a better question on what would you spend hundreds of billions of dollars on? The answer is poverty.... HIV and AIDS.... refugees.... starvation, education, electrification. So why do we still have so many poor, uneducated, starving people in the 21st century? Indeed a good question, with several possible answers. The author of 'the undressed manager' believes that a big part of the problem lies in poor management practices.... NOT mis-management.... that's a whole other issue.... just plain old lack of knowing how to identify the real problems, how to find solutions and how to manage the basic resources of people, equipment and money for undertaking development projects. 'the undressed manager' is an attempt.... and hopefully a good one.... that tries to get people back to the BASICS when thinking about, designing, planning and implementing humanitarian type, development programs and projects. This book is a 'how to' guide, a reference and management training handbook.... all wrapped up into one.... and with out the 'development set jargon' that tends to be confusing to most of us anyway. The handbook starts at the beginning with the necessities of setting up an organization and ends with the handing over of your project. The step by step process, written in a simple, understandable language ....contains all the needed ingredients for managing every aspect of a development project. Enjoy using it.... and most of all enjoy adding your own experiences to the handbook for others use.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2009. 1 online resource In the whole range of Sanskrit poetics, the term vakrokti took altogether a new significance and the highest position as the all pervading poetic concept in Kuntaka's Vakroktijivita. He revived the concept from more verbal poetic figure to the lessons of poetry. He not only explains but also explores the multi-dimensional aspects of Vakrokti. But unfortunately, no comprehensive study of Vakrokti has been done in a systematic way. This book is an effort in this direction. Presenting the major schools of Sanskrit poetics, the book gives general definition of vakrokti and its multi-dimensional implications. Further taking a close look at the views of different theorists on vakrokti, it exposes in detail kuntaka's theory of vakrokti and makes its critical analysis in relation to various literary concepts-alankara, svabhavokti, rasavadalankara, marga and rasa.

Jain Space for Shopping / Planning & Design for Trade & Commerce A.K. Jain. New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2010. 1 online resource The Indian megacities like Delhi are de-facto pivots of India's economic growth and globalization. With the entry of the multinationals, improved communications, increased per capita income and purchasing power, the Indian economy is slated for a runaway quantum jump. Trade and commerce is going to be fulcrum of the future, which has implications on the physical, social and economic structure of the cities. This needs a rethinking about the conventional spatial structure of the cities, where commercial areas should be the hub. The spatial base has to be widened and new systems of zoning and land use have to be worked out, which are dynamic and flexible, and are responsive to the emerging needs. This book deals with these issues in a holistic manner. It provides a planning and design framework for trade and commerce, offices, hotels, shopping malls, etc., together with a new paradigm for the marginalized street vendors. The studies to 'actual ground' situation provide a practical guide for all those involved with the livelihoods and lifestyles, in terms of planning for business, trade and commerce.

Pandey Religious Beliefs, Superstitions and Wittgenstein / K.C. Pandey. New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2009. 1 online resource Wittgenstein's religious point of view is generally seen as having twin aspects: religious beliefs are inexpressible, and that they have their own form of life. Notwithstanding the apparent differences in these aspects, there seems to be no dichotomy between them if we review them in the context of the development of his philosophy of religion and language. This book critically expounds Wittgenstein's notion of religious beliefs through interpreting various concepts of his philosophy of language. Taking a close look at the lack of foundation of religion, it deals with anti-scientific treatment of superstitions and miracles, and tries to abridge the alleged cleavage between Wittgenstein's acceptance of mystical experience and his rejection of privacy of experience.

All these human values are the source of our peace and bliss, which are observed in the Vedas, Upanisads, Gita and Puranas.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2013. Migration of the South Asian peoples to Australia has resulted in a continually growing and flourishing diaspora, one of the most prosperous communities, with an ever–increasing role and responsibility in all areas of society. According to 2011-12 Migration Programme report, India has become Australia's largest source of permanent migrants surging ahead of China and Britain. One of the challenges in writing about the South Asian diaspora in Australia is the nature of the beast: the multifarious migration and entry points into Australia range from colonial indentured workers to political asylum seekers to transnational marriages to students and high–end professionals. How did their journeys and experiences generate bridges that have influenced the historical, cultural, social and academic perceptions of the ever–changing continents? It is hoped that this critical anthology will help present a dynamic community in transit and showcase the achievements of the South Asian diaspora in Australia during the last decade. The South Asian diaspora has not only made a significant impact on Australia's multiculutural landscape but also furthered South Asian–Australian engagement moving beyond clichés of the curry and cricket.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2013. Public diplomacy is by its very nature a multidisciplinary field of study, with conceptual links to several branches of the humanities and social sciences. In this book, leading scholars in various fields from both India and Australia are brought together to highlight public diplomacy practices that are rapidly becoming the focus of government initiatives in the two countries. Given the need for breadth and multiple layers of tissue in a growing bond, especially one that has been shown to be vulnerable to sudden shocks, it is time to explore the significance of public diplomacy in the Australian-Indian relationship, both past and present. The book expounds a strong belief that the future of Australia-India relations and positive engagement lies in public diplomacy practices that the two countries adopt. Within this context of Australian-Indian relations, the chapters in this collection also evaluate the very nature of public diplomacy, its methodologies and the issues at stake. Both Australia and India are emerging global forces in their very own different ways and this focussed study will certainly inform the international debate on public diplomacy.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2013. Over the last century and a half the competing merits of withdrawal from and connection to Asia—and the related vocabularies of separation and engagement—have been defining themes in Australian history. Experiencing Turbulence brings together a selection of publications on Australian representation of Asia, published in various journals and books in the last ten years that follow the publication of Anxious Nation: Australia and the Rise of Asia, 1850 to 1939. Collectively they address key themes in the Australian response to Asia: survivalist anxieties, climate and race, population and immigration, empty Australia, gender and bush mythologies, and regional identities. These essays reveal the central, often constitutive role that Asia has played in the formation of ideas of nation and identity in Australia from the late nineteenth century to the present. The collection underlines the often unpredictable character of engagement and the fluid nature of fear and fascination, proximity and distance in the Australia-Asia relationship.

Jain Space for Shopping / Planning & Design for Trade & Commerce A.K. Jain. New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2010. The Indian megacities like Delhi are de-facto pivots of India's economic growth and globalization. With the entry of the multinationals, improved communications, increased per capita income and purchasing power, the Indian economy is slated for a runaway quantum jump. Trade and commerce is going to be fulcrum of the future, which has implications on the physical, social and economic structure of the cities. This needs a rethinking about the conventional spatial structure of the cities, where commercial areas should be the hub. The spatial base has to be widened and new systems of zoning and land use have to be worked out, which are dynamic and flexible, and are responsive to the emerging needs. This book deals with these issues in a holistic manner. It provides a planning and design framework for trade and commerce, offices, hotels, shopping malls, etc., together with a new paradigm for the marginalized street vendors. The studies to 'actual ground' situation provide a practical guide for all those involved with the livelihoods and lifestyles, in terms of planning for business, trade and commerce.

Badgley Aye Kyaw Red Peacocks : Commentaries on Burmese Socialist Nationalism / John H. Badgley ; Aye Kyaw. New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2009. Two contradictory terms-Preservation and Revolution-captured the mental state of Burmese leadership in the 20th century. The choice of which values and customs should be preserved and which discarded has had no clear consensus; yet this has been the heart of the ideological struggle among the leaders of Burma, now Myanmar. Providing deep insights into the Burmese socialist nationalist movement, this book explains the philosophy of political revolution sanctioned by Ne Win. It draws upon a body of treatises written by socialist revolutionaries that explain and justify rebellion and insurgencies against the government. Finally, it offers commentaries on Burmese political thought to demonstrate how contemporary Burmese political concepts are rooted in Pali antecedents from medieval dynasties.

Pandey Religious Beliefs, Superstitions and Wittgenstein / K.C. Pandey. New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2009. Wittgenstein's religious point of view is generally seen as having twin aspects: religious beliefs are inexpressible, and that they have their own form of life. Notwithstanding the apparent differences in these aspects, there seems to be no dichotomy between them if we review them in the context of the development of his philosophy of religion and language. This book critically expounds Wittgenstein's notion of religious beliefs through interpreting various concepts of his philosophy of language. Taking a close look at the lack of foundation of religion, it deals with anti-scientific treatment of superstitions and miracles, and tries to abridge the alleged cleavage between Wittgenstein's acceptance of mystical experience and his rejection of privacy of experience.

What makes each man unique, is that he has the total freedom to learn from the experiences, and to use them to grow from animalistic existence to the awakened state, or to ignore the experiences and go on with his instinctive animalistic existence, thus differentiating the common man from a prospective Buddha, who is in that fully awakened state. For a Buddha, no experience is commonplace because nothing ever gets repeated for he is ever awake and aware. But most of us are asleep or in somnambulism metaphysiaclly, that creates a monotony and boredom in our life. In this collection of stories, an effort has been made to present various qualities, positive as well as negative, from the point of view of a learner. Though freedom is taken as far as the faculty of imagination is concerned, the characters mentioned in these stories, have been part of the author's experience, though during the experiences, he had not expected them to be so deep as to leave such lasting impressions on his psyche. Rewriting them after a long time, is bound to make the writing less factual and more fictional. This collection is not a scientific treatise, but just a perspective of an artist, as he sees it! It is like the views of a landscape painter of a place and thus the collection has been titled as 'Humanscapes'. Human behavior--Fiction. Short stories,.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2013. The Seduction and Betrayal of Cat Whiskers is a comic satire that takes a winding course through the corridors of an institution of higher learning, using the comic lens to look at some of the flaws in the academia. What happens, for instance, behind the scenes in a major university? Who are the power brokers? What are the politics that operate in the system and at what different levels? How are appointments and promotions made? Is there any fair-play or justice? These are some of the questions raised in this play. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the problems highlighted here are found on almost all campuses, in India and abroad. The aim is not to target all academics, universities and colleges as corrupt but to take a peek at their not-so-pleasant side which, with a little effort and commitment, may be cured if we have the will to do so.

New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2013. When Priyadarshini Pannu, erstwhile editor and creative writer, decides to settle down in the outskirts of Chandigarh, she anticipates a quiet life with little excitement. This is the place where she hopes to resume her creative writing and produce another bestseller. However, as she works in a study overlooking a busy residential colony, she is inadvertently sucked into the lives of the people surrounding her. In particular, she finds herself drawn to Anamika Mehra who lives in Twitter House just across the road.Spots of Time, interspersed with a sprinkling of verse, traces the interweaving stories of these two women, moving back and forth in time, progressing through flashbacks and reminiscences. Tangential characters emerge from the margins, come to the foreground with their own stories, and then recede. As the story unfolds, the various pieces of the collage are linked together by the narratorial consciousness that observes, assimilates and records a myriad different experiences, ranging from professional hazards in and academic environment to more agonizing issues of parenting a special child while coping with personal aspirations and ambitions.The narratology is metafictional; the master narrative holds together several embedded little stories and yet is a coherent whole, inlaid with literary allusions, traversing an extensive terrain, from a tiny colony of the City Beautiful nestling in the Shivalik foothills to far-off places across vast oceanic distances.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages The Medieval Period of Indian History comprises a long period, spanning from 6th century i.e after the fall of the Gupta Empire to the 18th century, i.e the beginning of colonial domination. Modern historians, for the convenience of studying the state and society of medieval India, usually divide the period into Early Medieval Period and Late Medieval Period. According to them the Early Medieval period refer to the phase of Indian history that stretches from the fall of the Gupta Empire to the beginning of the Sultanate period in the 13th century. The period that comprises mainly that of the reigns of the Sultanate and the Mughal period is generally considered as the late medieval period, of course with regional variations. The nature of state in the early medieval period is marked by the presence of a large number of regional and local powers, in the absence of a paramount power in the country. Since the decline of the Gupta Indian polity saw decentralized political fragmentation and rise of various regional states. The state was seen as a sort of administrative or bureaucratic polity suspended above the society. The most important activities of the state were revenue collection and warfare. The government never paid much attention to the welfare of the people in general. The two movements brought a new form of religious expression amongst Muslims and Hindus. The Sufis were mystics who called for liberalism in Islam. They emphasised on an egalitarian society based on universal love. This encyclopaedia analyzes the nature of social forces, complexity of causation and the interdependence of change and continuity in the light of the crucial transition from ancient to early medieval India.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Museology or museum studies is the study of museums. It explores the history of museums and their role in society, as well as the activities they engage in, including curating, preservation, public programming, and education. The development of museology in Europe coincided with the emergence of early collectors and cabinets of curiosity in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. In particular, during The Age of Enlightenment anthropologists, naturalists, and hobbyist collectors encouraged the growth of public museums that displayed natural history and ethnographic objects and art in North America and Europe. In the 18th and 19th centuries, European powers’ colonization of overseas lands was accompanied by the development of the disciplines of natural history and ethnography, and the rise of private and institutional collection building. The latest movements in museology tend to focus on museums being interdisciplinary, multi-vocal, accessible, and open to criticism. While these critical discourses dominate contemporary museology, there are many different kinds of museums that exist today, some of which are engaged in new and innovative practices, and others that are more traditional and less critical. Operational museology refers to the day-to-day operations of a museum, including its organizational and regulatory structures, institutional policies and protocols, collections management, and its exhibitions and programs. While there has been much scholarship around operational museology over the last 30 years, some scholars argue that it has lacked sustained analysis. The book aims to be essential reading in the growing field of museum studies. It will also be of professional interest to all those working in the cultural sphere, including museum professionals, policy makers and art managers. Museum techniques.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Indian Arts consists of a variety of art forms, including plastic arts (e.g., pottery sculpture), visual arts (e.g., paintings), and textile arts (e.g., woven silk). Geographically, it spans the entire Indian subcontinent, including what is now India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and eastern Afghanistan. A strong sense of design is characteristic of Indian art and can be observed in its modern and traditional forms. The origin of Indian art can be traced to pre-historic Hominid settlements in the 3rd millennium BC. On its way to modern times, Indian art has had cultural influences, as well as religious influences. In spite of this complex mixture of religious traditions, generally, the prevailing artistic style at any time and place has been shared by the major religious groups. In historic art, sculpture in stone and metal, mainly religious, has survived the Indian climate better than other media and provides most of the best remains. Many of the most important ancient finds that are not in carved stone come from the surrounding, drier regions rather than India itself. Indian funeral and philosophic traditions exclude grave goods, which is the main source of ancient art in other cultures. A number of government institutions and museums dedicated to rural arts and crafts emerged in India soon after independence. Artists studied the contexts, techniques, and forms of traditional art practices. This book examines the art, dance, music, philosophy, religion, and other aspects of the civilization of India. All those studying Indology and interested to know about ancient history of India will find this book as valuable resource guide. Performing arts—India—History. Painting, Indic.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages The medieval art of the Western world covers a vast scope of time and place, over 1000 years of art in Europe, and at times the Middle East and North Africa. It includes major art movements and periods, national and regional art, genres, revivals, the artists crafts, and the artists themselves. Art historians attempt to classify medieval art into major periods and styles, often with some difficulty. A generally accepted scheme includes the later phases of Early Christian art, Migration Period art, Byzantine art, Insular art, Pre-Romanesque, Romanesque art, and Gothic art, as well as many other periods within these central styles. In addition each region, mostly during the period in the process of becoming nations or cultures, had its own distinct artistic style, such as Anglo-Saxon art or Norse art. Medieval art was produced in many media, and the works that remain in large numbers include sculpture, illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, metalwork and mosaics, all of which have had a higher survival rate than other media such as fresco wall-paintings, work in precious metals or textiles, including tapestry. Especially in the early part of the period, works in the so-called “minor arts” or decorative arts, such as metalwork, ivory carving, enamel and embroidery using precious metals, were probably more highly valued than paintings or monumental sculpture. This important book is an effort to introduces medieval civilization, focusing on how society, religion, and advances in technology affected art and architecture in the World during this time period.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Museology is concerned with artworks through institutionalized collections, always in accordance with the concepts and methods of the given field and its professional criteria. The field of museology includes the collections, research on the collections, and the public presentation of these research studies’ results, the mode of which changes with time and space. In the course of the history of modern, public museums, which were institutionalized in the 19th century, the most prominent turn was spawned when critical reflection was subsumed by the museum itself: when, form the 1960s on, critical reflections gradually have been incorporated into the collection and the representational mechanisms of the museum. In the theory and practice of cultural representation, a theoretical realignment can be detected from the 1960s on: the series of turns in social sciences and art theory appeared in scientific and art theoretical texts, as well as in works and visual genres. These shifts contributed in museological work to the critical/ self-critical, reflexive/ self-reflexive re-assessment of the authorial discourse of the museum collection that was based on the impermeability of scientific canons. This book presents up-to-date information about museums and museology. The book provides readers with carefully chosen examples of museum activities—for example, exhibition and sharing information, database construction, access to and conservation of museum collections, relationships between museums and local communities, and international cooperation in the field of cultural heritage.

The Mughals were a branch of the Timurid dynasty of Turkic origin from what is now Uzbekistan. Their power rapidly dwindled during the 18th century and the last of the emperors was deposed in 1857, with the establishment of the British Raj. Mughal emperors were of direct descent from Timur , and also affiliated with Genghis Khan, because of Timur’s marriage with a Genghizid princess. The Mughals also had significant Indian Rajput and Persian ancestry through marriage alliances, as emperors were born to Rajput and Persian princesses. The Mughals made a major contribution to the Indian subcontinent with development of their unique architecture. Many monuments were built during the Mughal era by the Muslim emperors, especially Shah Jahan, including the Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known to be one of the finer examples of Mughal architecture. Other World Heritage Sites include Humayun’s Tomb, Fatehpur Sikri, the Red Fort, the Agra Fort, and the Lahore Fort. The palaces, tombs, and forts built by the dynasty stand today in Agra, Aurangabad, Delhi, Dhaka, Fatehpur Sikri, Jaipur, Lahore, Kabul, Sheikhupura, and many other cities of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. Mughal history abounds with all the ingredients of classical drama: ambition and frustration, hope and despair, grandeur and decline, love and hate, and loyalty and betrayal. This is a book for anyone with an interest in Mughal’s glorious past and achievements in India.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages An art museum or art gallery is a building or space for the exhibition of art, usually visual art. Museums can be public or private, but what distinguishes a museum is the ownership of a collection. Paintings are the most commonly displayed art objects; however, sculptures, decorative arts, furniture, textiles, costumes, drawings, pastels, watercolours, collages, prints, artist’s books, photographs, and installation art are also regularly shown. Although primarily concerned with providing a space to show works of visual art, art galleries are sometimes used to host other artistic activities, such as performance arts, music concerts, or poetry readings. The term relates to public and private institutions. Public galleries are non-profit or public museums displaying selected art collections. Private galleries refer to commercial enterprises for selling art. However, both types may host travelling exhibits or temporary exhibitions including art borrowed from elsewhere. University art museums and galleries constitute collections of art developed, owned, and maintained by all kinds of schools, community colleges, colleges, and universities. This phenomenon exists in the West and East, making it a global practice. This book offers to unravel complex theories as applied in everyday practice through examples from national and international museums. The book will prove invaluable for all professional museum educators and volunteer docents as well as museum studies students, art and art history teachers, curators, and museum administrators.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages The spread of developed means of transport and communication and growth and diffusion of community and commercialized services have increased mobility and interaction among people of different sexes, castes, creeds, and regions. The role of modernity has been very profound in creating a social change in religion and caste allowing the people of backward classes to get acquainted to the outside world through education and cultural transformation. As tribal societies get more differentiated different bases are developing for the assertion of tribal identity. “A new system of social stratification and mobility is already on its way attacking the entrenched non-tribal exploiters and dehumanizing agencies and institutions. The present book explores the contemporary position of Indian tribes in respect of nature, degree of change and development on the one hand and their subsequent state of integration on the other.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Art and architecture have a deep connection that unites them through their design, their designer, and their individual meanings. Architects create livable or usable spaces, but their architectural structures are also significant beyond their functionality. The arts reflect the society that creates them. Nowhere is this truer than in the case of the ancient Greeks. Through their temples, sculpture, and pottery, the Greeks incorporated a fundamental principle of their culture: arete. To the Greeks, arete meant excellence and reaching one’s full potential. Formal analysis is an integrated study of all the formal qualities of an art object to see how they all work together. We can then see how they add to the overall meaning of that piece of art. Formal qualities add to an artwork because they are aesthetically satisfying. Looking at art is a different experience from looking at the general environment, which is visually disjointed and disorganized. The formal qualities of artworks make them satisfying visual experiences, which adds considerable power to art. Size, scale, texture and value are all formal elements in art that contribute to a works meaning. Size, scale and value are formal elements in architecture that enhance the meaning of a building.

Aggrawal Art, Archaeology and Cultural History of India / R.N. Aggrawal. New Delhi 2019. 240 pages Academic appraisals of Indian art and architecture in the Western world have suffered from many of the same biases and prejudices that have infected analyses of Indian philosophy and culture. In the colonially constructed model, India was to be pigeon-holed as a land seeped in incomprehensible mysticism – where religion dominated all aspects of social life, but unlike the “noble” piousness of the Western world, India’s religious practices were often seen as bizarre and grotesque. Although the subcontinent has enjoyed a virtually uninterrupted history of developments in the realm of art and architecture, India has been either studiously ignored in compilations of “world” art – or it has been represented by a very small and limited number of examples. Culture was defined earlier as the symbols, language, beliefs, values, and artifacts that are part of any society. As this definition suggests, there are two basic components of culture: ideas and symbols on the one hand and artifacts on the other. The first type, called non-material culture, includes the values, beliefs, symbols, and language that define a society. The second type, called material culture, includes all the society's physical objects, such as its tools and technology, clothing, eating utensils, and means of transportation.

Aggrawal Patanjali Yoga Sutras and their Interpretations / R.N. Aggrawal. New Delhi 2019. 240 pages Patanjali's Yoga Sutras outline a path for obtaining divine oneness, self-realisation or, as Nicolai Bachman says, in his book The Path of the Yoga Sutras, a deep understanding of the core of who you are. Among yogis and spiritual seekers, this promise is very inviting. What is even more attractive is that the path is laid out in 195 short verses (or 196, depending on the school of thought). You could easily read the entire Yoga Sutras in 30 minutes or less. However, making sense of these pithy lines is a different, and much longer, story. Like yoga, studying the Sutras could span a lifetime. There are dozens of translations of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and they vary because the terse verses leave much room for interpretation. The tradition of Patañjali in the oral and textual tradition of the Yoga Sûtras is accepted by traditional Vedic schools as the authoritative source on Yoga, and it retains this status in Hindu circles into the present day. In contrast to its modern Western transplanted forms, Yoga essentially consists of meditative practices culminating in attaining a state of consciousness free from all modes of active or discursive thought, and of eventually attaining a state where consciousness is unaware of any object external to itself, that is, is only aware of its own nature as consciousness unmixed with any other object. The book delineates every aspects of Yoga. It not only provides the systematic history of succession of Yogic knowledge, starting from the beginning, but it also spreads light on the various aspects of Yoga. Patañjali. Yogasūtra. Yoga.

New Delhi 2019. 240 pages Yoga and Ayurveda are two interrelated branches of the same great tree of Vedic knowledge that encompasses all of human life and the entire universe. In this regard, it is important to understand the respective roles of Ayurveda and Yoga in the Vedic system. Yoga and Ayurveda are not merely two separate but related healing disciplines of India. Each has its unique place and function, but each overlaps into the other on various levels. Ayurveda believes that every human being is a made up of five primary elements. These five primary elements combine and create various physiological functions in the human body. In antiquity remains the roots of a science, that is today gaining wide acceptance and popularity – a system of medicine which could with its natural remedies heal without any side -effects. The Centre has extensive facilities for providing Ayurvedic Panchakarma & Wellness treatment programmes backed by a team of Ayurvedic doctors and male/female masseurs to provide the Ayurveda treatment. This book is an introduction to Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine that had been practiced in the Indian subcontinent for several centuries. Medicine, Ayurvedic. Yoga.

New Delhi 2019. 240 pages Yoga practice has been shown to improve several aspects of mental health in normal children. Before discussing the use of yoga in the management of mental health disorders, the benefits of practicing yoga in promoting positive mental health. In an early study school children aged between nine and thirteen years, performed better on a hand steadiness test, suggestive of better attention and concentration, after yoga. There were two groups of forty-five children each who were assessed using a standard test for static motor performance using a steadiness tester, at the beginning and end of a ten-day period during which one group practiced yoga while the other group continued with their regular routine. The yoga group showed a significant reduction in errors compared to the control group. Mental health is best achieved by maintaining a balance between masculine and feminine qualities. Taking either set of qualities to an extreme and to the exclusion of the other is detrimental. A non-traditional gender role orientation would combine the best of both genders: a social focus (reciprocally supportive relationships and a balance between interests of self and others) and active coping strategies. This book provides deep insight to various dimensions of issues relating to the subject. Yoga--Health aspects. Mental health.

New Delhi 2019. 240 pages This is the most complete source on mantras, meditation, and other techniques of self-inquiry readily available. It is a psychological study, a guide for practice and a source of great learning. Written by the author of The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga, it reflects experiential knowledge devoid of a thousand inexperienced interpretations, and an uncanny insight into the western mind. The purpose of yoga is to suspend the flickering nature and internal dictations of the mind. Being free of the dictates and influence of the mind would allow one at least a glimpse into the spiritual reality that was discussed in the Sankhya system. Yoga, contrary to the popular perception, is not merely a system of physical culture. It is, in fact, a uniquely Indian discipline aiming to bring about the union of an individual spirit with the universal spirit: the cosmic consciousness -- through what in Yoga is known as samadhi, a state of profound meditation. Meditation offers time for relaxation and heightened awareness in a stressful world where our senses are often dulled. Research suggests that meditation has the potential for more than just temporary stress relief. The main objective of this book is to create more informed and conscious practitioners of Yoga. ‘Yoga and Meditation’ discusses the benefits of Yoga, both physical and spiritual, its types and methodology.

New Delhi 2022. 240 pages Children’s rights are the human rights of children with particular attention to the rights of special protection and care afforded to minors. The 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) defines a child as “any human being below the age of eighteen years, unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier.” Children’s rights includes their right to association with both parents, human identity as well as the basic needs for physical protection, food, universal state-paid education, health care, and criminal laws appropriate for the age and development of the child, equal protection of the child’s civil rights, and freedom from discrimination on the basis of the child’s race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, disability, colour, ethnicity, or other characteristics. Interpretations of children’s rights range from allowing children the capacity for autonomous action to the enforcement of children being physically, mentally and emotionally free from abuse, though what constitutes “abuse” is a matter of debate. This book try to explore how human rights law can help define what could and should be done to protect children from abuse. The book brings together a wide array of original essays from a variety of academic and practitioner perspectives on human rights and the status of children. The book will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and policy-makers working in the area of children’s rights and welfare. Children’s rights—India. Children’s rights.

The Act was extended to Bengal Presidency and other areas in 1876, and, finally, with the Criminal Tribes Act, 1911, it was extended to Madras Presidency as well. The Act went through several amendments in the next decade and, finally, the Criminal Tribes Act, 1924 incorporated all of them. At the time of Indian independence in 1947, thirteen million people in 127 communities faced search and arrest if any member of the group was found outside the prescribed area. Today, there are 313 Nomadic Tribes and 198 Denotified Tribes of India, yet the legacy of the past continues to haunt the majority of 60 million people belonging to these tribes, especially as their historical associations have meant continued alienation and stereotyping by the police and the media as well as economic hardships. A large number of them can still only subscribe to a slightly altered label, Vimukta jaatis, or “Ex-Criminal Tribes”. This book explores how colonial policies converted itinerant groups on the one hand into a source of cheap labour and on the other into a category known as criminal tribes. The present book will be useful for all those who understand the phenomenon of the “criminal tribe” in India from the early days of colonial rule to the present. India—Denotified tribes.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Vulnerably positioned at the bottom of India’s caste, class and gender hierarchies, Dalit women experience endemic gender-and-caste discrimination and violence as the outcome of severely imbalanced social, economic and political power equations. Their socio-economic vulnerability and lack of political voice, when combined with the dominant risk factors of being Dalit and female, increase their exposure to potentially violent situations while simultaneously reducing their ability to escape. Violence against dalit women presents clear evidence of widespread exploitation and discrimination against these women subordinated in terms of power relations to men in a patriarchal society, as also against their communities based on caste. Violence against Dalit women is to deny them opportunities, choices and freedoms at multiple levels, undermining not only dalit women’s dignity and self-respect, but also their right to development. Vulnerably positioned at the bottom of India’s gender, caste and class hierarchies, Dalit women experience the outcome of severely imbalanced social, economic and political power equations in terms of endemic caste-class-gender discrimination and violence. This book enables the reader to understand the interface of gender and caste and to participate in its critical analysis. The book will be essential reading in the disciplines of politics, gender, social exclusion studies, sociology and social anthropology. Dalit women—Violence against—India.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages The Tribals constitute a share of about eight per cent of the country's population and spread over about 1/5 part of the country's land with more than 500 different tribal groups having special cultural traits and identity. India is a country of villages as the majority of its population lives in villages and far-flung remote areas. The interesting aspect is that every region of the country though connected with the cities now; however, still possesses its own peculiar traditional ethos. Also most of the rural communities/Tribal’s are still devoid of modern facilities like education, electricity, proper drinking water, health care, ample transportation, etc. But the lack of education in many of the rural belts of India is proving fatal and acting as the breeding ground for social vices, evils and paving the way to anti-social/national activities. The state government provides substantial support for rural development through various centrally sponsored schemes and state projects. However, these public programmes fall short of expectations in terms of their contribution to poverty reduction or the enhancement of the natural resource base. The challenge does not lie in the availability of funding, but rather in the need for greater efficiency and effectiveness in the large public investment programmes for local economic development. This book analyzes the social, economic, marital and economic status of Tribals in India. Students and professionals in the field of social studies and social work will find this book valuable.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Man is both creature and moulder of his environment, which gives him physical sustenance and affords him the opportunity for intellectual, moral, social and spiritual growth. Both aspects of man’s environment, the natural and the man-made, are essential to his well-being and to the enjoyment of basic human rights, even the right to life itself. International concerns with human rights, health and environmental protection have expanded considerably in the past several decades. In response, the international community has created a vast array of international legal instruments, specialized organs, and agencies at the global and regional levels to respond to identified problems in each of the three areas. Often these have seemed to develop in isolation from one another. Yet the links between human rights, health and environmental protection were apparent at least from the first international conference on the human environment, held in Stockholm in 1972. Indeed, health has seemed to be the subject that bridges the two fields of environmental protection and human rights. This book explores the means by which economic liberalisation can be reconciled with human rights and environmental protection in the regulation of international trade. This important and provocative book provides a blueprint for students and renewed leadership in protecting human health, the well-being of the planet, and the interests of future generations.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Perhaps more than in any other part of the world, India is a country where people have come to acquire multiple identities based on region, language, religion, etc. Each set of these and other identities corresponding to a distinct set of social relations, i.e., a distinct social structure. However, there are threads which bind many of them together. Therefore understanding Indian social structure is necessary because it explains our relations with each other in society. It tells us what kind of social institutions exist in society and how they got modified over a period of time. There may be a high correlation between ethnicity and class, which means that there is a high likelihood that persons belonging to specific ethnic groups also belong to specific social classes. The present book reveals the contemporary position of Indian tribes in respect of nature, degree of change and development on the one hand and their subsequent state of integration on the other. This book addresses topics that are of enduring interest to students and teachers in the social sciences.

Thousands of institutions, ports, roads, squares are named after Him in India. He was voted as ”The Greatest Indian” in 2012 by a poll organized by H, BBC and CNN-IBN. The Parliament of India on 26-28th November 2015 held ”Special Sittings To Commemorate 125th Birth Anniversary Celebration of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar”; and held him in highest esteem for the unparalleled contribution in drafting the constitution, building Indian nation and pioneering policy endeavours. Millions of Indians have cultivated popular “Ambedkarite-Buddhist Culture” reflected predominantly in literature, paintings, sculptors, music, dramas, movies, documentaries, monuments, institutions, community centres  and organizations, ever growing incessantly. Ambedkar’s legacy is comprised of so significant, relevant and tangent a nature that it has acquired unlikeness of an impermanent character. The present book stresses the philosophy of Equality, Liberty and Fraternity as expounded by Dr. Ambedkar.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Adivasi is the collective term for the indigenous peoples of mainland South Asia. Adivasi make up 8.6% of India’s population, or 104 million people, according to the 2011 census, and a large percentage of the Nepalese population. They comprise a substantial indigenous minority of the population of India and Nepal. The same term Adivasi is used for the ethnic minorities of Bangladesh and the native Tharu people of Nepal. The word is also used in the same sense in Nepal, as is another word, janajati, although the political context differed historically under the Shah and Rana dynasties. Adivasi societies are particularly prominent in Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, West Bengal and some north-eastern states, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Many smaller tribal groups are quite sensitive to ecological degradation caused by modernisation. Both commercial forestry and intensive agriculture have proved destructive to the forests that had endured swidden agriculture for many centuries. Population complexities, and the controversies surrounding ethnicity and language in India, sometimes make the official recognition of groups as adivasis political and contentious. Unlike castes, which form part of a complex and interrelated local economic exchange system, tribes tend to form self-sufficient economic units. For most tribal people, land-use rights traditionally derive simply from tribal membership. Tribal society tends to the egalitarian, with its leadership based on ties of kinship and personality rather than on hereditary status. The present book will be a convenient resource for the casual reader, the researcher, and the teacher and the student alike.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. Human rights under threat in era of globalization. Human dignity is sacrosanct. The development of human rights law in response to globalization is not new, and there is nothing inherent in the international system that would prevent further protective measures. A number of U.N. specialized agencies have also addressed the question of globalization. This book addresses a set of questions focusing on the imperatives of justice at the national, regional and international levels. The examination of these imperatives is conducted through an analysis of civil, political, economic, and social rights. Focusing on world regions where human rights abuses are the most serious, extensive and sustained; this book fills a crucial gap in our knowledge of the difficulties and promise of promoting human rights in our global age.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Human rights movement refers to a nongovernmental social movement engaged in activism related to the issues of human rights. The foundations of the global human rights movement involve resistance to: colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, apartheid, patriarchy, and oppression of indigenous peoples. Institutionalization of universal human rights principles began in the immediate post–World War II period, in which civil society actors worked with powerful states to establish human rights as a key guiding principle of the international community and to ensure the actors’ continuing participation in international human rights institutions. The subsequent decades saw various hurdles arise in international politics, but civil society actors skillfully used the small openings that they had gained to continue to advance the cause of human rights. This book offers a unique perspective on infamous human rights controversies and argues that the idea of human rights has historically been highly statist while grassroots activism has been at the heart of the most profound human rights advances. This book will be invaluable resource to human rights advocates, and undergraduate and graduate students across the social sciences. Human rights—India. Social movements—India.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being, including food, clothing, housing, medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of sickness, disability, widowhood, old age — Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Articles 2, 22, and 25. According to the World Health Organization, there are an estimated one billion people, or 15 per cent of the world’s population, living with disability. Despite this, people with disabilities face barriers to inclusion and their needs are often given low priority. Women and children with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to discrimination. They experience multiple discrimination—both from their disability and their age or gender. In many parts of the world, it is common practice to isolate, abuse, and deny basic rights to these particularly vulnerable groups. Disability Rights Convention explicitly recognizes the difficulties facing women and children with disabilities, including multiple discrimination. Older persons are entitled to lead fulfilling and productive lives and should have opportunities for full participation in their communities and society, and in all decision-making regarding their well-being, especially their shelter needs. Their many contributions to the political, social and economic processes of human settlements should be recognized and valued. Special attention should be given to meeting their evolving housing and mobility needs to enable them to continue to lead rewarding lives in their communities.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages In social science and politics, power is the ability to influence or outright control the behaviour of people. The term “authority” is often used for power perceived as legitimate by the social structure. Power can be seen as evil or unjust, but the exercise of power is accepted as endemic to humans as social beings. Power changes those in the position of power and those who are targets of that power. As the dominant actors in global politics, states were the presumed duty bearers, with primary responsibility for protecting and fulfilling international human rights norms. The term “human rights violation,” likewise, was reserved to describe abuses committed by states. The present book indicts the world’s governments for failing to address growing hunger, housing shortages, unemployment, poverty, human rights abuses, and environmental degradation. He examines the causes of this global crisis and offers fresh solutions reflecting sustainability, community, and equity—the only principles that can assure a healthy future for the world’s people. This book will continue to be used as a core text for multiple courses within programs, will have long term application for students of community practice, and will provide practitioners with new grounding for development, planning, organizing, and empowerment and social change work.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Scheduled Tribes in India have been victims of exclusion and marginalisation. Recognising their special needs and interests, Constitution of India provides various safeguards to protect their rights. Legislation for institutional reform provides a legal framework to strengthen self-governance among tribes. Government continues to implement several special Tribal Development Programmes to help improve their conditions. Economies of tribes depend on agriculture or hunting and gathering forest produce. Tribes trade with outsiders for the few necessities they lack, such as salt, cooking utensils, iron, etc. Their life-preserving forests have been invaded by modern civilisation. Their identity was intact before intrusion of modern civilisation and urban economic developments. Nearly 68 million Tribals lived in India according to the 1991 census, but number has now reduced substantially as forests reduced and their dependence on forest resources minimised. Economic and modern lifestyles forced them to come out to get mixed with modern generation but did not get proper attention and respect for their culture so most of them still live below poverty line. Most tribes' communities originated from Dravidian and still speak Dravidian languages. This book will advance reader’s knowledge and understanding of challenging issues of Tribes.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages India had always been known as the land that portrayed cultural and traditional vibrancy through its conventional arts and crafts. Every region in India has its own style and pattern of art, which is known as folk art. Other than folk art, there is yet another form of traditional art practiced by several tribes or rural population, which is classified as tribal art. The folk and tribal arts of India are very ethnic and simple, and yet colorful and vibrant enough to speak volumes about the country’s rich heritage. Folk art in India apparently has a great potential in the international market because of its traditional aesthetic sensibility and authenticity. The rural folk paintings of India bear distinctive colorful designs, which are treated with religious and mystical motifs. Some of the most famous folk paintings of India are the Madhubani paintings of Bihar, Patachitra paintings from the state of Odisha, the Nirmal paintings of Andhra Pradesh, and other such folk art forms. Folk art is however not restricted only to paintings, but also stretches to other art forms such as pottery, home decorations, ornaments, cloths-making, and so on. In fact, the potteries of some of the regions of India are quite popular among foreign tourists because of their ethnic and traditional beauty. Moreover, the regional dances of India, such as the Bhangra dance of Punjab, the Dandiya of Gujarat, the Bihu dance of Assam, etc, which project the cultural heritage of those regions, are prominent contenders in the field of Indian folk art. This book introduces readers to one of India s most glorious living traditions its tribal and folk painting. The book will be of interest to students of art, and professionals in the allied fields.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Every community of the world has its own culture, tradition, ethnic identity, ethos, world views and religious beliefs. India is home to around 573 tribal groups and communities, each of which follows their own culture and tradition. Festivals are an important part of the life of these tribal groups. There are a number of tribal festivals which are celebrated by various tribes in India. During these festivals, the tribal groups wear their own traditional costumes and jewellery and follow their long-established dance forms. Whether it is the state of Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Manipur, or Orissa, tribal festivals are celebrated in almost every corner of Indian states. These tribal festivals are celebrated with a view to appeasing the presiding deities of the tribes. In the state of Madhya Pradesh, tribal groups celebrate festivals like Madai Festival, Bhagoriya Festival, Nagaji Festival, Karma Festival etc. During these tribal festivals, various dance forms are performed to the music of drums, tablas and flutes among other instruments. The Gonds and the Bhil tribes mainly celebrate these festivals. All the fairs, festivals and rituals evidence their emotional response to their supernatural. The book will be of vital use to the tourist, tour operators, students of the tribal History and Culture of the India.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages People from Scheduled Tribes (STs) - otherwise known as adivasis or tribal groups - are socially excluded in India, facing discrimination on the basis of their ethnicity. As a result, adivasis find themselves excluded from many aspects of day-to-day life including health services, economies and educational establishments. STs make up 8.6% of India’s population (Census, 2011). Adivasis generally live in remote forest areas, surviving solely on the forest environment in which they live. They often speak their own tribal languages, which makes communication with others difficult, and they have their own culture and traditions. Their physical isolation from non-tribal communities and a lack of cultural understanding between the two has led to the negative stereotyping of adivasi groups as primitive, uncivilised and unskilled. This negative stereotyping is used to justify their exclusion from certain services and economic opportunities. Areas inhabited by ST groups tend to be rich in natural and mineral resources. However, a lack of knowledge about forest rights and ownership over these resources has led to the exploitation and forced displacement of many forest-dwellers. In addition, their livelihoods are based around the forest, and many tribal groups do not depend on trade with outside markets. Due to their remote location and their own culture and traditions, tribal groups have not traditionally engaged with formal education. This comprehensive book covers all related and relevant information about the scheduled tribes in India. This book will be an invaluable reference tool for scholars, researchers, planners, administrator, policy makers, govt. official and the others. India—Scheduled tribes—Social life and customs.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages The overall objective is to create a fair and equal society in which each individual matters, their rights are recognised and protected, and decisions are made in ways that are fair and honest. This is an underlying principle for peaceful and prosperous coexistence within and among nations. The principles are used when we promote gender equality or the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants. It also includes the removal of barriers that people face because of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture or disability. Social Justice is the fair and just relation between the individual and society. It includes items covering the distribution of wealth, opportunities for people and social privileges. The concept of Social Justice seems to be a balance between the need to do your part within society in order to receive anything from society. The connections between status and distributive equality stabilize a conception of an overlapping normative domain of human rights and social justice as nested regulative principles for associative practices and institutions which function to protect against exclusions from status equality. This important book is essential reading for practitioners and students of sociology, criminology, gender studies and law. Social justice. Human rights.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages A social problem is any condition or behaviour that has negative consequences for large numbers of people and that is generally recognized as a condition or behaviour that needs to be addressed. All social problems have some common basis of origin. All social problems are social and political in origin. All social problems are caused by pathological social conditions. ... All social problems are social in their results – they affect all sections of society. Social problems today might be viewed differently by different people. For example, not all people consider playing loud music in the park a social issue but as some consider it undesirable, therefore, it is a problem. Many individuals experience one or more social problems personally. For example, many people are poor and unemployed, many are in poor health, and many have family problems, drink too much alcohol, or commit crime. ... Examples include such different problems as eating disorders, divorce, and unemployment.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Social justice and human rights have a shared goal: human dignity, equally for all. The issues that make social justice difficult to achieve, such as poverty, exclusion and discrimination are in direct contradiction with human rights, which apply to all individuals indiscriminately. Social work´s emergence and historical evolution has been intertwined with evolving notions of human rights (HR) and social justice (SJ). At a time when economic globalization, armed conflict, and ecological devastation continue to undermine human rights and the possibilities for social justice, the need for linking a structural analysis to social work practice is greater than ever. The creation of a fair and just world requires the development and nurture of many qualities including justice, equity and human rights. Although progress is being made, the world is far from achieving universal social justice or the protection of human rights. For example, thanks to extreme poverty, tens of millions of children are denied the right to education. Many people are unfairly discriminated against on account of their race, gender or religious beliefs; the livelihoods of many indigenous people are being disrupted by exploitative industries; and political repression, arbitrary detention and torture are still rife in many countries.

The tribal culture of India and their traditions and practices pervade almost all of the aspects of Indian culture and civilization. In India one can find almost a new dialect, culture, and different people after moving 50 kms in any direction. Likewise the tribal population is also very much varied and diversified. The tribes each one of them is a distinctive community either migrated from another place or the original inhabitants of the land. These different tribes still inhibits the different parts especially the seven states of the North Eastern part, and almost each and every corner of the land. The distinctiveness of the tribes lays their rituals, cultures, beliefs and above all the harmony in which they survive in unison with nature. Their living perfectly depicts a well balanced give and take procedure that in no way disrupts the ecological balance. Throughout tribal communities, there was a fear that these policies and practices of targeting Indian children and raising them outside of their cultural heritage would ultimately spell the death of many tribal societies. The rituals makes human life colourful and cheerful along with the representation of richness of their cultural heritage. The cultural heritage differs from are to area and social groups. This book is an indispensable resource for students, tribal leaders, and tribal communities interested in the complicated relationship between tribal, federal, and state law.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages A minority group refers to a category of people differentiated from the social majority, those who hold on to major of positions of social power in a society. It may be defined by law. Minority rights are the normal individual rights as applied to members of racial, ethnic, class, religious, linguistic or gender and sexual minorities; and also the collective rights accorded to minority groups. Minority rights may also apply simply to individual rights of anyone who is not part of a majority decision. Civil rights movements often seek to ensure that individual rights are not denied on the basis of membership in a minority group, such as global women’s rights and global LGBT rights movements, or the various racial minority rights movements around the world. Minorities struggle to realise all types of human rights, whether civil and political, economic, social or cultural, whether as individuals or as groups. Entrenched discrimination on ethnic or religious grounds is also a common precursor to conflict. The present book is a comprehensive, modern study of the important field of international protection of minority rights.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Of the total tribal population in India, only 12 percent live in the eight North-Eastern states, but unlike central Indian states where they are in a minority in all the states, tribes constitute more than 80 percent of the state’s population in Mizoram, Meghalaya, and Nagaland, and hence receive better political attention. For the past several decades however, some states in the North-East have received a continuous flow of economic migrants from neighbouring states and Bangladesh, with the result that demographic balance has been tilting against indigenous population. Bodos, a plains tribe of Assam, have become a minority in many districts of Bodo Autonomous Council and lost land to immigrant Muslims, leading often to large-scale violence. An off-shoot of the population division is the unequal power relations between the tribals and the non-tribal’s who seem to dominate in political and economic power. Even within the tribes, there is a great deal of diversity. North-East India has over 220 ethnic groups, they all have their own culture and tribal tradition and speak their own tribal languages. This culturally diversity of North-East India also leads to inter-tribal conflict in many states, affecting peace and development. Not only tribal regions, but the entire North-East Region with the exception of Sikkim is characterized by low per-capita income, lack of private investment, low capital formation, inadequate infrastructure facilities, and geographical bottlenecks. The present book is an effort to understand the scenario of tribal development in North-East India.

Choudhary Tribal Development in India : Myth and Reality / Ravi Shankar Kr. Choudhary. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Tribes are the poorest section of Indian population. They are socially, educationally and economically most deprived, exploited and suffering injustice since ages. Though in the Indian Constitution, the rights ensuring social justice of the Indian citizens, social justice has not progressed an inch further in today’s world. The tribals don’t even know what the rule of law is or what social justice means. The tribals form 8.2% of the national population leaving aside the Union Territories where they constitute a substantial share of population, but they are denied political power even in states like Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa, and Madhya Pradesh, where they form 20% of the state population. So, for a stronger country we need to develop every part of the state on a equal basis. In this era of modernization, poverty elimination has become one of the most important goals of the government. Two decades of economic reforms and drum beating about inclusive growth seem to have failed to change the face of tribal and rural communities. Hence, The Twelfth Five Year Plan which in effect since 1st April, 2012 announced that special efforts will be made to bring the tribals and other marginalized sections at par with other sections of the society. Even in the 21st century the tribes are far behind in comparison with other segments of the society on all the Human Development indicators. The present book critically examines the different approaches of government agencies and voluntary organization and agencies and voluntary organization and also look into other facets of rural development after independence.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Tribal communities of India cannot be clubbed together as one homogeneous group. They belong to different ethno-lingual groups, having diverse faith and are at varied /different levels of development - economically, educationally and culturally. Tribal populations generally have poor health outcomes, often because of a healthcare delivery system that does not cater to their needs. This study evaluates a current healthcare model for tribals, and explores it in combination with the health status of the target population, placing emphasis on the long term sustainability and cross-implementation of the model. The tribal systems of medicines connote diversity of cultural practices, traditional knowledge and social organizations. Therefore, there cannot be any one tribal system of medicines. Not only in treatment of diseases but also in nutritional status their culture is adversely affecting. Specifically tribal people are mostly depending on forest, so their nutritional status of health is lesser than others. Medical herbs and treatment of diseases and maintaining health are today the source of modern medicine. NGOs have done some remarkable work in these two fields. These are funded by the government under the grants-in aid provision. This book presents issues of concern in tribal health, nutrition and medicine. It provides recommendations to resolve tribal health, nutrition and medicine issues. The book will be useful to students of anthropology, sociology, health sciences, social work, tribal and general readers. Tribes—Health and hygiene—India. Tribes—Nutrition— India.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages The ongoing pursuit for economic development and market pressure on government have forced policy-makers to convert forest land into large corporations which again push away the indigenous people from their soils. Since the colonial period the forest policies jeopardized the tribal’s rights over the forest and ignored their voices during framing the laws. In the colonial period the legal and policy instruments transferred the right over forests from communities’ hand to government’s hand. The post colonial law has provided a dignified status to tribals but it will not be able to resolve tribal people’s human rights and livelihood issues without similar or greater advancement in law and administration in other areas such as land acquisition, development – induced displacement and political autonomy. Government and our policy makers should not ignore the importance of tribals and rights should be given to the latter by proper implementation of the law. Introduction: Tribes, also known as aboriginal communities/indigenous people/Adivasi/Janjati/Schedule Tribes, are residing in forests since time immemorial. There are nearly 10.4 million tribal people residing on 15% of total Indian geography and constitutes 8.6 % of total Indian population. Forests and tribals are culturally and traditionally linked to each other. Tribals have been living in the forest ecology and that has shaped their life and the society they presently have. Most of them live in close proximity of forest and depend on the forest for their livelihood and sustenance. The present book is an effort to understand the relationships between Tribes and Forests in India. Students of social science, Social work will find this book important in their study.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Women’s rights are the rights and entitlements claimed for women and girls worldwide, and formed the basis for the women’s rights movement in the nineteenth century and feminist movement during the 20th century. In some countries, these rights are institutionalized or supported by law, local custom, and behaviour, whereas in others they are ignored and suppressed. They differ from broader notions of human rights through claims of an inherent historical and traditional bias against the exercise of rights by women and girls, in favour of men and boys. Religious law refers to ethical and moral codes taught by religious traditions. Examples include Christian canon law, Islamic sharia, Jewish halakha, and Hindu law. Religious norms may be enforced by the state as part of a regime of personal law or, conversely, religious norms may be formally relegated to the private sphere but can be brought into the legal realm through the private acts of individuals. This book will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in law and religion, gender studies and human rights law. This book shows how and why legal empowerment is important for those exercising their religious rights under various jurisdictions, in conditions of legal pluralism.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Gender equality has become a generally accepted refrain and gained secure positioning within international approaches to, and discourse on, development and human rights. However, it took decades of advocacy for gendered diversities to become effectively acknowledged as relevant to the international human rights system. In this process, the recognition that “women’s rights are human rights” played a central role. In response, legal and normative instruments have been introduced to address the marginalisation of women and girls, such as the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA). Increasingly, other issues relevant to gender equality are gaining attention, for instance those pertaining to sexual orientation and gender identity and the role of men and boys in achieving gender equality. International policies and strategies such as gender mainstreaming have been developed to advance the achievement of gender equality in practice. Significant steps continue to be taken to build a human rights system that recognises the need for gender equality and diversity to be inherent to approaches for securing human rights for all. The present book traces the evolution of the women’s human rights movement through an examination of its key issues, debates, and practical interventions in international law and policy arenas. This book is a valuable resource for both undergraduate and graduate students in fields such as Gender or Women’s Studies, Human Rights, Cultural Studies, Anthropology, and Sociology, as well as researchers and professionals working in related areas.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Ambedkar was a Dalit leader, influential during the colonial era and post-independence period of India. He was the fourteenth child in an impoverished Maharashtra Dalit family, who studied abroad, returned to India in the 1920s and joined the political movement. His focus was social and political rights of the Dalits. The Dalit Buddhist movement (also known as Neo-Buddhist movement) is a socio-political movement by Dalits in India started by B. R. Ambedkar. It radically re-interpreted Buddhism and created a new school of Buddhism called Navayana. The movement has sought to be a socially and politically engaged form of Buddhism. The movement was launched in 1956 by Ambedkar when nearly half a million Dalits – formerly untouchables – joined him and converted to his Navayana Buddhism. It rejected Hinduism, challenged caste system and promoted the rights of the Dalit community. The movement also rejected the teachings of traditional Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana sects of Buddhism, and took an oath to pursue a new form of engaged Buddhism as taught by Ambedkar. This important book traces the history of the Dalit movement from its beginning in the 19th century to the death of its most famous leader, B.R. Ambedkar, in 1956 Ambedkar, B. R.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Upon India’s independence on 15 August 1947, the new Congress-led government invited Ambedkar to serve as the nation’s first Law Minister, which he accepted. On 29 August, he was appointed Chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee, and was appointed by the Assembly to write India’s new Constitution. Granville Austin described the Indian Constitution drafted by Ambedkar as ‘first and foremost a social document’. ‘The majority of India’s constitutional provisions are either directly arrived at furthering the aim of social revolution or attempt to foster this revolution by establishing conditions necessary for its achievement.’ The text prepared by Ambedkar provided constitutional guarantees and protections for a wide range of civil liberties for individual citizens, including freedom of religion, the abolition of untouchability, and the outlawing of all forms of discrimination. Ambedkar argued for extensive economic and social rights for women, and won the Assembly’s support for introducing a system of reservations of jobs in the civil services, schools and colleges for members of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and Other Backward Class, a system akin to affirmative action. This is an invaluable ready-reference resource of India‘s Constitution for lawyers and the judiciary, political commentators and media professionals, legislators and bureaucrats, scholars and students, and also informed and active civil society.

Pandey Ambedkar and Problems of Scheduled Castes / B.K. Pandey. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Traditionally, Scheduled Castes or untouchables were suffering from several disabilities or problems. The high-caste Hindus maintained a social distance from them. They were denied many basic amenities of life which were accorded to the high-caste Hindus. They were dependent on the tradition of Hindus for items of food and drink. They suffered from many economic problems. They had to face many economic hardships and they were not given proper reward for their service. Traditionally, untouchables were deprived of landed property of their own. The untouchables were not free to choose any occupation according to their own ability they had to clean the streets, remove dead cattle and to undertake heavy agricultural work. Mostly they were landless labourers. They worked in the fields of high- caste Hindus as labourers. They were denied the right to use the services of public utilities like wells, public transport as well as educational institutions. Incisively aware of the ideological role of religious value systems, Ambedkar was convinced that Hinduism was responsible for the woes of Indian society in general and Untouchables in particular. The present book will be highly helpful not only for those interested in the study of Scheduled Caste people and their problems, but also for the planners and administrators who are engaged in the welfare programmes of this downtrodden section of the society.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages The Story of Reservation goes back to the era when the Nation was still to make its “tryst with destination”, as India’s independence came to epitomise in Jawaharlal Nehru’s words, and to that critical time when it was on the brink of a trifurcation in to three separate Nations: One for the Hindus, Second for the Muslims and Third for Backward Community–before it could get complete sovereignty, for such was the devised formula devised by the British. In reality, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, never intended to achieve the reservations, benefits, concessions etc. for the dalit people. The concept of reservation policy was conceived by the M.K. Gandhi for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. In reality, what was the stand of the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar to achieve for the oppressed classes? The reservation is burning subject matter in India. It is in existence more than eighty years. Compensatory Provisions engrafted under Indian Constitution with an intention to protect oppressed classes. Indian Society suppressed them economically and socially from generations to generations. Oppressed classes are untouchables, such as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes as designated under the Indian Constitution. Untouchability has been practised more than 3000 years. It has a tragic condition that no one has taken efforts to eradicate the out dated unscientific practises of caste system, on the other hand, majority people of India have faith in the practicing the out dated and unscientific caste system. This book is an efforts to explore Schedule caste and Schedule tribes status and Ambedkar’s contribution in their welfare in India. This book will be a useful reading for all those interested to know about Ambedkar, his work and Philosophy. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-. Dalits—India—Social conditions.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages There is a difference between law and justice. The essence of law is its force. Law is law because it carries the means to coerce or force obedience. The power of the state is behind it. The essence of justice is fairness. Governmental justice consists of various welfare schemes, law, legal literacy, administrative forms of arbitration such as tribunals, boards, courts, public interest litigation, new legal education, plus the constitutional idea of protection of weaker sections of the society and introduction of positive discrimination. Dr. Ambedkar was the man who tried to turn the Wheel of the Law toward social justice for all. He has strong fervour to attain social justice among the Indian Communities for this purpose he began his vocation. The present book deals with diverse burning issues which are directly related to individuals, society, state, law and constitution revolving round the concept of social justice. It focuses on poverty jurisprudence highlighting the problems of the scheduled castes, backward segments, weaker sections and minorities searching the ideal solutions of their problems, and also suggesting ways and means for tackling them successfully. This book is an ideal study guide for students and all those interested on social science and constitutional studies. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-. Dalits—India—Social conditions.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Dr. Ambedkar born as an untouchable, undergone all the miseries of untouchables and also tried hard for their welfare. He also felt that Hindu religion is main cause for  their ill treatment and tried to bring changes in it and he also felt, whether their there is necessity of religion and is there any religion which gives equal treatment and found that , it is necessary and no equal treatment is given by any and found it in Buddhism and finally got himself converted to it. The role of religion has pervaded all aspects of man’s life it is essential for man. To Dr Ambedkar religion was a necessity in life and he did not agree with those especially the Marxist thinkers who rejected it. Then there arises a question of does Dr Ambedkar subscribe to the view that religion is reactionary and there is no necessity of it in human life? Not at all as he said some people think that religion is not essential to society. I do not hold this view. I considered the foundation of religion to be essential to the life and practice of society. Dr Ambedkar was well convinced that religion not only develops a good character, but also moulded the structural aspects of human society. Religion acts as a means of social control, and Dr Ambedkar recognized that religion emphasizes, universalizes social values and bring them to the mind of the individual who is required to recognize them in order that he may function as an approved member of the society. This book is a must read book for all those interested to know about Ambedkar, his work and Philosophy. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-1956—Political and social views.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages When India was drawing up her Constitution, there weren’t too many examples for her to refer to. Not many Constitutions at that point had stood the test of time. The British Constitution was not codified and was based on convention. While its principles could be adopted, it offered little drafting precedent. The Swiss with their then-three-hundred-year-old Constitution were there. There were the British North America Acts which formed the Constitution for Canada and the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, 1900 but they retained constitutional links with the United Kingdom. Two young Constitutions were useful though: one was the Constitution of the Irish Free State, 1922 and the other was the Constitution of the Weimar Republic, 1919. The other key inspiration was of course, the US Constitution. The drafting committee of the Constituent Assembly studied these constitutions in detail. The committee was chaired by an able statesmen and draftsman in the form of Dr BR Ambedkar. This book is an effort to understand Dr. Ambedkar’s contribution and a wide-ranging, analytical reflection on the major themes and debates that surround India’s Constitution. It is a valuable book for all those study and belongs to constitution, judiciary, law and politics. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-. Constitutional history—India.

Ambedkar / Mahesh Mandal. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Dalit means all those people of different castes and sub-castes among the depressed classes who were traditionally subjected to invidious discriminations on grounds of untouchability, and categorized as the untouchables, downtrodden, exterior classes, depressed classes or Scheduled Castes. “The organizational or institutional efforts made by Dalit leaders for the liberation of the downtrodden masses could be termed as Dalit movement. It is a movement of protest against untouchability, casteism and superstitions. It aims at the uplift of the Dalits to the level of non -Dalits.” “Negatively speaking, it stands for rejection of the old traditional Hindu social order based on untouchability, socioeconomic inequality casteism, unscientific and irrational religious beliefs and customary servitude. Positively speaking, it stands for acceptance of a new social order based on equality, liberty, and social justice, scientific and rational religious or moral principles; and social, economic, cultural and political development of the Dalit.” It is the movement to regain self-respect and equal human status in the society. India has long been dominated by the upper castes, even though the lower castes make up more than two thirds of the population. This book examines how the lower castes have become more assertive in recent decades. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-. Dalits—Political activity—India—History—20th century.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages In the ancient period of India, the backward castes had been denied all kinds of social and economic endowments. Hence, they had been lagging behind in the process of development. At the first time the suffering of these people agonized by the great soul of Lord Gautam Buddha. He introduced the concept of ‘equality’ to the society. This was the first opportunity imparted to these people to prosper and live in dignity. His ‘sainted’ path was later adopted by the world saints like Kabir, Eknath, Tukaram and so on. Article 338 provides for a National Commission for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes with duties to investigate and monitor all matters relating to safeguards provided for them, to inquire into specific complaints and to participate and advise on the planning process of their socio-economic development etc. It is observed that the Government programmes - especially those pertaining to SC and ST welfare are never taken seriously, and there are no effective monitoring system to pinpoint the failures of the plan objectives. There are diversion of resources and lack of utility of the schemes. Therefore, the condition of these communities is still remained very miserable. Therefore, remedial measures and effective course corrections should have to be implemented. This book comprehensively analyzes the impact of various developmental schemes and plans on the scheduled castes in the India. This book will certainly prove of immense values to all those interested in Development of SCs and STs, especially the planners and policy makers in evolving an appropriate viable strategy for development in the coming years.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Annihilation of Caste is an undelivered speech written in 1936 by B. R. Ambedkar, an Indian writer, activist, politician who fought against the country’s concept of untouchability. Untouchables By Dr BR Ambedkar The Untouchables is a great work of Dr . B.R. Ambedkar . In the beginning itself he mentions Indo - Aryan society differentiating two people namely Indo or Hindu and Aryan that is followers for Manu Smriti the Brahmins . The Native Hindu Civilization and VI deshi Brahmin Aryan Vikruti admixture was the subject of his book where Native people are treated as Untouchables. He finds that Untouchables were first Native Tribes and aboriginal . He agrees to the concept of Videshi Brahmin invasion of Hindo or Hindustan by Videshi Brahmin Aryans . The words found like Dravid , Dasa , Nag also relates to Native people. However , for untouchable he believes that it is creation post Buddhist period and Buddhist and those continued Beef eating were the main reasons of for this . His genesis of origin of Untouchable looks convincing yet the problem of Videshi Brahmin Aryans is not only a problem of Untouchable alone but whole Non Brahmins as Hindus they suffered a lot under Varn and Caste system. The present book is an interpretation of Ambedkar’s beliefs on origin of caste and untouchability and their effects on native Indians called shudra. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Much of the ancient history of India is no history at all. It has been made mythology to amuse women and children. To understand Ambedkar as a historian, a visit to the intellectual climate of late colonial India is necessary. This period of Indian history was dominated by the rise of nationalisms that either militated against colonialism or each other. Since these ideologies were socially aggregative in character and objective, they usually undermined the divisiveness and oppression caused in Indian society by caste. The writing of history followed this political trend. Further, it was unusual for Indian historians to debate questions of historical methods in the 1940s; the official archive and colonial historical methods reigned supreme over their imagination and the difference between the Imperialist and Nationalist historians was one of objectives and not methods. Most Indian historians were content with the canons of historiography taught to them by their British professors who, in turn, were mostly Whig in orientation. Ambedkar’s historical method remains resilient and alluring in our times because his reflections highlighted the important political difference between imagination and fantasy, conjecture and possibility and a credible story and academic pedantry. This book is a valuable resource for researchers interested in South Asian History. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-. India—History. Muslims—Political actiity—India. India—History—Partition,.

Ambedkar and His Contribution in Women's Empowerment / Nutan Singh. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Words of ‘Champion of Women’s Rights in India’ - Revolutionary Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar on women: “I am a great believer in women’s organization. I know that what they can do to improve the condition of the society if they are convinced. In the eradication of social evils they have rendered great services. I will testify to that from my own experience. Ever since I began to work among the depressed classes, I made it a point to carry women along with men.” Without Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, atleast whatever so changes the position of Women today in India would be only question mark. There were many leaders fought for the women’s Rights in India. Most of them were failed in their action. But Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was the only person who changed the effort via Law. While drafting the Constitution of India, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was the prime mover of the welfare of women. He made the Article 14 to 16 as equal status to woman and also framed many laws for women. As the first Law Minister of Independent India, he introduced Women rights as “HINDU CODE BILL” which Paved equal rights to man and Woman. It was the greatest ever social reform in India. It is nothing but declaration of women rights. This book explores the efforts of Dr. Ambedkar in the welfare and empowerment of women in India. Ambedkar, B. R.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages After independence, many development programs and plans were started in India, like Adult Education Plan, Family Planning and Health Program and programs for the development of rural and, small industries. etc. But, due to the diversity of these plans and the differences in their implementation, areas and objects, there was a lack of mutual integrity and coordination due to which many difficulties and administrative problems arose. Though, the various programs had their own achievements yet due to lack of integrity and coordination the need for a wide and comprehensive rural development program was felt. It was realized that the roots of poverty are so deep in rural areas that to eradicate it, a powerful, integrated, wide and comprehensive program is required. For the fulfillment of this requirement an Integrated Rural Development Program was implemented in 1978-79. In the beginning, this program was started in 2300 development blocks, but on 2nd Oct. 1980 it was started in all 5011 blocks of the country. The main objective of this program was to bring the very poor families of rural areas, above the poverty line. The 2/3 of resources required to complete this plan are received from Cooperative Banks or Commercial Banks. This book will be of great use to all those involved in the study of Rural Development, students, teachers, scholars, administrators, government and voluntary Agencies.

Jafar Imam Interlinking of Rivers in India / Issues and Concerns Md. Jafar Imam. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages The Indian Rivers Inter-link is a proposed large-scale civil engineering project that aims to effectively manage water resources in India by linking Indian rivers by a network of reservoirs and canals and so reduce persistent floods in some parts and water shortages in other parts of India. The Inter-link project has been split into three parts: a northern Himalayan rivers inter-link component, a southern Peninsular component and starting 2005, an intrastate rivers linking component. The project is being managed by India’s National Water Development Agency (NWDA), under its Ministry of Water Resources. NWDA has studied and prepared reports on 14 inter-link projects for Himalayan component, 16 inter-link projects for Peninsular component and 37 intrastate river linking projects. The average rainfall in India is about 4,000 billion cubic meters, but most of India’s rainfall comes over a 4-month period – June through September. Proponents of the rivers inter-linking projects claim the answers to India’s water problem is to conserve the abundant monsoon water bounty, store it in reservoirs, and deliver this water – using rivers inter-linking project – to areas and over times when water becomes scarce. This book provides a comprehensive overview of water resources of India.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages The earliest human communities were perhaps the loosely organised aggregations of a few facilities that carried on mutually interdependent activities in gathering food and defending themselves against their enemies. Gradually man acquired skills and knowledge in agriculture food and begin to live settled life in villages. It is difficult to define villages but generally it is understood as a small area with a small population which follows agriculture not only as an occupation but also as a way of life. The dwellers of rural community have a sense of unity. The relation between the people is intimate. They personally know each other customs and traditions. Non-farm sector constitute the bulk of poor rural people. Of these, women and tribal communities are the most disadvantaged. Young people in rural areas are forced to migrate without having the skills required by India’s rapidly-modernizing economy. Poverty is deepest among scheduled castes and tribes in rural areas. This comprehensive book highlights the rural and tribal populations who are widely dispersed and subjected to very similar inimical processes that led to their destitution.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Even while championing social egalitarianism and popular liberties and criticising the sway of big business and landlordism, campaigning for social and economic democracy, he remained a conscious ideological and political adversary of Marxism and Communism – for the basic reason that he found them challenging in the same way he found Buddhism inspiring. He had a number of interesting things to say about tricky national problems – Kashmir, language, nationhood, citizenship, ethnicity and so on – and his analysis lit up the field for a proper democratic understanding of federalism and Centre-State relations in India. On international questions and foreign policy, his approach was that of a centrist-conservative dissenting from non-alignment and from the Nehruvian (not to mention radical) world view. The recent period of socio-political development in India has seen a blossoming of Hindutva and a majority chauvinist ideological and political offensive which can only be classified as extremist in relation to national unity. This ideological offering to the building of a new India must be ranked on a par with his signal and justly celebrated contribution to the making of a Republican Constitution. Ambedkar is of central relevance to the growing human rights movement and is fast emerging as the pan-Indian leader, a symbol of the Dalits and other oppressed masses.

Jafar Imam River Control in India and Interstate Water Dispute / Md. Jafar Imam. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Water being the most precious resource is required for domestic, irrigation and industrial purposes. Most of the Indian rivers traverse more than one state. Each of the states of a river basin tries to obtain the maximum quantity of water. This has resulted in many water disputes in the country. In many areas of the world the present is already marked by an uneasy competition among different water users and use sectors, often leading to conflicts. India particularly stands on the brink of an uncertain future, its ever-growing population putting pressure on its increasingly meagre water resources. The Interstate River Water Disputes Act, 1956 (IRWD Act) is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted under Article 262 of Constitution of India on the eve of reorganization of states on linguistic basis to resolve the water disputes that would arise in the use, control and distribution of an interstate river or river valley.  Article 262 of the Indian Constitution provides a role for the Central government in adjudicating conflicts surrounding inter-state rivers that arise among the state/regional governments.  This Act further has undergone amendments subsequently and its most recent amendment took place in the year 2002. This book is about the politics of water resource development and management in India. The book will interest environmental and agricultural economists, ecologists, policy-makers and planners and those in the development sector, as well as the media and the general reader.

Jafar Imam River Pollution in India and Its Management / Md. Jafar Imam. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Water pollution is a major environmental issue in India. The largest source of water pollution in India is untreated sewage. Other sources of pollution include agricultural runoff and unregulated small scale industry. Most rivers, lakes and surface water in India are polluted. The majority of the government-owned sewage treatment plants remain closed most of the time due to improper design or poor maintenance or lack of reliable electricity supply to operate the plants, together with absentee employees and poor management. The waste water generated in these areas normally percolates into the soil or evaporates. The uncollected waste accumulates in the urban areas causing unhygienic conditions and releasing pollutants that leach into surface and groundwaters. Flooding during monsoons worsens India’s water pollution problem, as it washes and moves solid waste and contaminated soils into its rivers and wetlands. The annual average precipitation in India is about 4000 billion cubic metres. The book presents the most important aspects of pollution, conservation and management of aquatic environment.

Jafar Imam River Water Diversion / Environmental Effects and Implications Md. Jafar Imam. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Water is the most powerful agent in shaping the earth’s surface through the processes of rivers, glaciers, ground water, weathering, mass movement, and oceans. Water is also an important element that played a pivotal role in the development of the world’s civilizations. Since the dawn of civilization, humans have harnessed water in many different ways for their physical existence and the sustenance of the environment. Diverting water permanently or temporarily for construction purposes, e.g., in river or stream beds, to install sediment control, stormwater devices or when realigning a waterway, can significantly affect the natural character of a waterway and the surrounding habitat. Water is diverted using instream barriers such as dams, weirs, culverts, canals, and pipes that are used in the construction process. This comprehensive book provides the practising engineer with a concise overview of the methods of water diversion and exclusion or removal of sediment from the diverted water as well the significant environmental effects. This book will appeal to at students, non-lawyers involved with water issues, and general readers interested complex water rights law and environmental health. Water diversion—Environmental aspects.

Jafar Imam Rivers of India / Md. Jafar Imam. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Based on their source, the Indian River system is classified in to - Himalayan Rivers and Peninsular Rivers. The Himalayan Rivers, as the name suggests originate from the Himalayas and flow through the Northern Plains. Peninsular River System or Peninsular Drainage emerges mainly from the Western Ghats. Since the Western Ghats form a ‘water divide’, these rivers either flow eastwards into the Bay of Bengal or into the Arabian Sea towards the west. Peninsular Rivers are basically ‘rain fed’ rivers. Ganga (Ganges) River system is the largest river system in India. It originates in the Gangotri glaciers. The upstream Bhagirathi joins the other stream named Alaknanda at Devprayag to form River Ganga. The Yamuna is a major river system in Northern India. The river rises from Yamnotri and flows through Uttrakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. Brahmaputra, one of the major rivers in India, originates in the Angsi glacier of Himalayas in Tibet. There it is known as the Tsangpo River. This book is an exploratory journey that delves into the symbiosis between India’s major rivers and the people who live along them and their intimate link with myth, belief and religion. This book is of interest of all those eager to read the importance of rivers in Indians lives and culture. Rivers—India.

Verma Role of Panchayati Raj Institutions for Rural Development / B.S. Verma. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Panchayati Raj was not a new concept to India. Indian villages had Panchayats from very ancient time, which were having both executive and judicial powers and used to handle various issues or disputes arising in the village area. Gandhiji also held the opinion of empowerment of Panchayats for the development of rural areas. Thus, recognizing their importance our Constitution makers included a provision for Panchayats in part IV of our constitution. All Panchayati Raj Institutions perform such functions as are specified in state laws relating to panchayati raj. Some States distinguish between obligatory (compulsory) and optional functions of Gram Panchayats while other States do not make this distinction. The Panchayat as a body is accountable to the general body of the village known as Gram Sabha which meets at least twice a year. The Gram Panchayat must present its budget, accounts of the previous year and annual administrative report before the Gram Sabha. Furthermore, it has to secure the latter’s approval of the village production plan, proposals for taxation and development programmes before they are enforced by the Panchayat. This book covers a broad spectrum of Panchayati Raj System organizational structure, powers, functions, personnel, finance and overall performance. The book will be useful for students, politicians and local administration professionals. Panchayat—India. Rural development—Government policy—India. Decentralization in government—India.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Community participation is a concept meant to ensure that community members are an integral part of processes that determine their destination in relation to their development needs. It is a means of empowering people by developing their skills and abilities to enable them to negotiate and make appropriate decisions for their development. Community participation, however, is not without its challenges. Regional developers believe that for projects to succeed, communities need to actively partake in designing, implementing and sustaining the projects that affect their condition of living. Since, rural development is a people’s programme, it is essential that people should take active part in rural development activities. For the success of any development programmes, people’s participation is most important. Without people’s participation success of rural development programmes cannot be ensured but the people’s participation has caused a serious problem in the successful implementation of rural development programmes. Every programme which is financially depends on the govt., invariably have a short life unless citizens participate in them actively and continuously. This book integrates the fundamental theories of decentralization and rural development, providing a comprehensive explanation of how they can be successfully implemented to improve the livelihoods of rural communities.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Rural development is the process of improving the quality of life and economic well-being of people living in rural areas, often relatively isolated and sparsely populated areas. Rural development has traditionally centred on the exploitation of land-intensive natural resources such as agriculture and forestry. Of late, rural development has assumed global attention especially among the developing nations. It has great significance for a country like India where majority of the population, around 65% of the people, live in rural areas. Rural development implies both the economic betterment of people as well as greater social transformation. In order to provide the rural people with better prospects for economic development, increased participation of people in the rural development programmes, decentralization of planning, better enforcement of land reforms and greater access to credit are needed. This section provides complete information on initiatives taken by the government for bridging the urban-rural divide by upgrading the standard of living of people in rural areas. Information about programmes, schemes, employment opportunities, Panchayati Raj institutions, development authorities, drinking water, sanitation, road construction, electrification of villages and food supply etc. is provided.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Variously hailed as the Iron Man of India, Mahatma’s Muscle Man, Lenin of Bardoli, Chanakya-cum-Bismarck and saviour and architect of New India, Sardar Patel was a robust statesman in the Gandhi-Nehru-Patel triumvirate, which was responsible for shaping India’s destiny during the freedom struggle. Modern Indian history is incomplete without Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. His vision, his work, and his principles were highly remarkable in Independent India. He rose to the leadership of the Indian National Congress, in which capacity he organised the party for elections in 1934 and 1937 even as he continued to promote the Quit India Movement. As the first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of India, Patel organised relief efforts for refugees fleeing from Punjab and Delhi and worked to restore peace across the nation. He led the task of forging a united India, successfully integrating into the newly independent nation those British colonial provinces that had been “allocated” to India. Besides those provinces that had been under direct British rule, approximately 565 self-governing princely states had been released from British suzerainty by the Indian Independence Act of 1947. This book is an account of Vallabhbhai Patel’s contribution to the freedom struggle of India and Indian National Congress. Patel, Vallabhbhai, 1875-. Nationalists—India—Biography.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Bose’s popularity was probably next only to Gandhi’s when he was the president of the Indian National Congress (INC) during 1938-39. However that was also the time Gandhi started becoming wary of Bose due to the latter’s willingness to adopting militant strategies as part of the freedom struggle. But more acutely, it was the rightists in the Congress such as Sardar Patel, G D Birla, G B Pant and Rajendra Prasad who began displaying fierce opposition to Bose because he had emerged as a strong leftist pillar in the Congress and whose charisma and dynamic leadership was attracting enormous followers among Congress members and Indians at large. While Nehru too was charismatic and ideologically on the same side as Bose, he, unlike Bose, was not someone who would easily take an independent stand against Gandhi. Vallabhbhai having withdrawn from the contest, there remained only Subhas and Pattabhi in the field and the time for the nominations was past. Rabindranath Tagore wrote to Gandhi and Nehru urging them to select Bose. The Bose brothers targeted Patel, but realised equally that Patel was a stalking horse and proxy for Gandhiji himself.

Social Work, A recent branch of knowledge can contribute a lot towards the process of rural development. Social workers as champions of social justice can play multiple role with required interventions to promote community development. Their roles can fulfil the gaps between service delivery and utilisation of such services by community people. Around 67 years of independence, still our rural sector has been suffering from the various social as well as economic calamities which have blocked the perspectives of social development of rural India. The rural India due to deprivation from basic social necessities has not overcome the barriers for effective community development. This book provides a wide-ranging review of existing writing and research on rural social services and explores some of the distinctive features of rural contexts and rural problems.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, one of the greatest founding fathers of modern Indian Constitution and an eminent scholar was a great leader and humanist India had ever produced. He fought for minimizing not only the grievances of the untouchables, but to give improvements in every aspect of human life may it be social, political, cultural, anthropological, or religious. It will be wrong to call him merely a humanist; instead he was a social humanist. Democracy is a form of Government to maintain a better society wherein maximum amount of liberty is ensured for individuals consistent with the attainment of order and security within the State. Truly speaking, democracy takes the form of government wherein the sovereignty vests with the people in general. The vision of Dr. Ambedkar is more significant in countries which witness many deviations from the above basic principle of democracy. With a noble intention to make participation of major citizenry Dr. Ambedkar put forth a broader perspective than the generally perceived idea of political liberty, equality and fraternity. His emphasis was on social and economic dimensions of democracy. The present book stressed the philosophy of Equality, Liberty and Fraternity as expounded by Dr. Ambedkar. This book will be of interest for all those researching on Dr. Ambedkar. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-1956--Political and social views. India--Social conditions--20th century.

Jafar Imam The Ganga and India's Future / Md. Jafar Imam. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages The Ganges, also known as Ganga, is a trans-boundary river of Asia which flows through the nations of India and Bangladesh. The 2,525 km (1,569 mi) river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of North India. After entering West Bengal, it divides into three rivers: The Hooghly River, or Adi Ganga, flows through several districts of West Bengal and into the Bay of Bengal near Sagar Island. The Ganges is one of the most sacred rivers to Hindus. Pollution of the Ganges (or Ganga), the largest river in India, poses significant threats to human health and the larger environment. Severely polluted with human waste and industrial contaminants, the river provides water to about 40% of India’s population across 11 states, serving an estimated population of 500 million people or more, more than any other river in the world. Today, Ganges is considered to be the fifth most polluted river in the world. The main causes of water pollution in the Ganges river are: the increase in the population density, various human activities (such as bathing, washing clothes, and the bathing of animals), and dumping of various harmful industrial waste into the river. A number of initiatives have been undertaken to clean the river but failed to deliver desired results. The book will be of interest to researchers and scientists, professionals and policymakers in water resources management and environmental science, conservation policy and development research.

New Delhi 2019. 240 pages Metaphysics, the philosophical study whose object is to determine the real nature of things-to determine the meaning, structure, and principles of whatever is insofar as it is. Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali is based on his Yoga Sutras. In the Yoga Sutras Patanjali brought together various principles and practices of Yoga prevalent at his time into a coherent system. The sutras are short forms with a few essential words each. This is a confusing verse and doesn't fit nicely into the metaphysics we have on hand in Hindu thought, so it requires some analysis. Some commentators use desire is eternal for this verse. Most translators use beginningless or without beginning. The mind, on reading the verse, tends to add without end because if a thing has no beginning, yet exists, it has no end. Patanjali's Yogasutra: A Psychological Study is an attempt at an English translation of Patanjali's Yogasutra with commentary rendered in current psychological idiom. It features an extensive Introduction to the context and attempts to draw out conclusions on the implications of yoga theory and practices to current psychological knowledge. This book thus provides the psychological context and the relevance of studies of yoga for advancing the existing psychological knowledge.

Mishra. New Delhi Readworthy Press Corporation 2019. 240 pages Yoga has a long history. It is an integral subjective science. Its spiritual mental or physical import cannot be separated from each other. According to Panini, the Grammarian, the word Yoga is derived from two roots, viz. Yujir and Yuja one referring to Yoking (Yujvir Yoga), and the other referring to mental concentration (Yuj Samadhi) and to sense control. Yoga is an integral part of our lifestyle. It removes the impurities from the level of mind and unites everything with the spirit. For instance, insomnia could be connected to stress, anxiety or depression. You have to address that issue instead of merely taking medication. This way, you have a wider perception of your own mind, body, thoughts and emotions and there's more clarity and you are able to guide your prana (life force) in a positive way to progress in life. Yogic asanas impart physical and mental health all over the body by controlling, regulating and balancing the effect over the sympathetic arid parasympathetic nervous system. Through regular practice of Yoga normal physiological activities of nervous system, flexibility and contractibility of muscles, vital capacity of lungs, blood circulation etc such biological processes are toned-up. A regular practice of Deep Pranayarma, Shavasana helps to regulate inspiration and expiration, which in turn, provides adequate amount of oxygen in the body. Oxygen gets attached to blood and circulates the entire body. The present book entitled Yoga and Health discusses all the aspects of Yoga from health point of view. The text are written in a lucid form and written in simple colloquial English. Yoga--Health aspects.

New Delhi 2019. 240 pages Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras is one of the six darsanas of Ancient Indian Philosophy. Yoga paradigm goes well beyond what is currently in vogue and provides a more fruitful model for studying and understanding human nature, both hidden and manifest. This volume thus provides the psychological context and the relevance of studies of yoga for advancing the existing psychological knowledge. Yoga psychology provides the foundation for Indian psychology, an emerging discipline, rooted in classical Indian tradition. The Yoga Sûtras were thus seen by all schools, not only as the orthodox manual for guidance in the techniques and practices of meditation, but also for the classical Indian position on the nature and function of mind and consciousness, for the mechanisms of action in the world and consequent rebirth, and for the metaphysical underpinnings and description of the attainment of mystical powers. The book explores the fact that Yoga is an ancient Indian art which has a greater relevance in today’s lifestyle. Apart from a holistic exercise for toned body muscles which also relieves physical pain, Yoga means to bind, reducing mental stress and centring mind and body. Patañjali. Yogasūtra. Yoga.

New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Islamic Art and Architecture, the art and architecture of those territories—the Middle East, North Africa, northern India, and Spain—that fell under Muslim domination beginning in the 7th century AD. Islamic art is not an art pertaining to religion only. The term “Islamic” refers not only to the religion, but to the rich and varied Islamic culture as well. Islamic art frequently adopts secular elements and elements that are frowned upon, if not forbidden, by some Islamic theologians. Islamic architecture encompasses a wide range of both secular and religious styles from the foundation of Islam to the present day, influencing the design and construction of buildings and structures in Islamic culture. The principal Islamic architectural types are: the Mosque, the Tomb, the Palace and the Fort. From these four types, the vocabulary of Islamic architecture is derived and used for buildings of less importance such as public baths, fountains and domestic architecture. A characteristic Indo-Islamic-Persian style that flourished on the Indian subcontinent during the Mughal empire (1526–1857). This new style combined elements of Islamic art and architecture, which had been introduced to India during the Delhi Sultanate (1192–1398) and had produced great monuments such as the Qutb Minar, with features of Persian art and architecture. Mughal monuments are found chiefly in N India, but there are also many remains in Pakistan. This article discusses these distinctive forms of art and architecture as they developed under a succession of Mughal emperors.

Prakash Dash Hindu Religion Art and Architecture / K. Prakash Dash. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Hinduism is a religion that had no single founder, no single spokesman, no single prophet. Its origins are mixed and complex. One strand can be traced back to the sacred Sanskrit literature of the Aryans, the Vedas, which consist of hymns in praise of deities who were often personifications of the natural elements. Another strand drew on the beliefs prevalent among groups of indigenous peoples, especially the faith in the power of the mother goddess and in the efficacy of fertility symbols. Hinduism is the predominant religion of the Indian subcontinent. Dating back to the Iron Age , it is often called the oldest living religion in the world. Hinduism has no single founder and is a conglomeration of diverse traditions and philosophies rather than a rigid set of beliefs. Most Hindus believe in a single supreme God who appears in many different manifestations as devas (celestial beings or deities), and they may worship specific devas as individual facets of the same God. Hinduism is a conglomeration of diverse traditions and philosophies rather than a rigid set of beliefs. Most Hindus believe in a single supreme God who appears in many different manifestations as devas (celestial beings or deities), and they may worship specific devas as individual facets of the same God. Hindu sculpture, as seen in other forms of Hindu art, reflects this plurality of beliefs. Because religion and culture are inseparable with Hinduism, recurring symbols such as the gods and their reincarnations, the lotus flower, extra limbs, and even the traditional arts make their appearances in many sculptures of Hindu origin.

Sharma Folk Music of Northeast / D.C. Sharma. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Northeast India comprises of eight states, which includes the state of Sikkim and the seven sister states – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Tripura. Folk dances in these states are often performed during festivals or to celebrate life. Dance is an important aspect in the lives of people living in this part of the country and hence many age-old dance forms are still practiced and kept alive. Let us now have a look at different folk dances of Northeast India. Folk dances, musics and songs are an ingrained part of Sikkimese culture. Most of the cultural dances related to the amazing beauty of the natural surroundings, some signifies the harvest season and others are performed for welfare. Many of the musical instruments that accompany the dances are unique to Sikkim. Almost all the dances are accompanied by the musical instruments. Tribal and folk music is not taught in the same way that Indian classical music is taught. There is no formal period of apprenticeship where the student is able to devote their entire life to learning the music, the economics of rural life does not permit this sort of thing. The musical practitioners must still attend to their normal duties of hunting, agriculture or whatever their chosen profession is. Folk-music of the Northeast impresses the mind. Just as a white sheet can be tinged with many shades exactly in the same manner the music of rustics tinge hues to the melancholic mind of men and women and this book is indeed a record of that dying music.

Mishra The Buddhist Texts / Lalit V. Mishra. New Delhi 2018. 240 pages Buddhist texts were initially passed on orally by monks, but were later written down and composed as manuscripts in various Indo-Aryan languages which were then translated into other local languages as Buddhism spread. They can be categorized in a number of ways. The Western terms scripture and canonical are applied to Buddhism in inconsistent ways by Western scholars: for example, one authority refers to scriptures and other canonical texts, while another says that scriptures can be categorized into canonical, commentarial, and pseudo-canonical. Buddhist traditions have generally divided these texts with their own categories and divisions, such as that between buddhavacana word of the Buddha, many of which are known as sutras, and other texts, such as shastras (treatises) or Abhidharma. Buddhism came to China in the 1st century C.E.. The development of Buddhism in China and the recording of the teaching as the Chinese Canon is one of the great achievement s of human civilization. The Sanskrit texts of different traditions were taken to China and the translation of the texts into Chinese went on from 200 C.E. to about 1200 C.E.. At first non-Chinese, and later Chinese monks, working individually and in teams, carried on the translation work. State translation projects were established. Original Chinese Sutra were added.
