The country was passing through complex and cumulative crisis and was at crucial crossroads due to internal dissensions and external aggressions. The society was divided due to the Brahmanical social order rigid caste system and social stratification and obscurantist and superstitious orthodoxies. In his essay on Hinduism Dr. Karan Singh has perceptively spelt out the social stratification of Indian society which was developed by our thinkers and seers. The Indian Society was classified into four categories on the basis of their intrinsic qualities. The highest caste consists of Brahmins the thinkers philosophers and priests whose main job was to provide educational inputs and religious guidance to society. The Kashatriya's Dharma was to rule the nation and defend it against any aggression. The Vaishyas's main vocation was to carry out commercial and agricultural operations. The fourth category was that of Shudras whose main job was to provide labourers. There were certain categories which were known as out castes and had been facing socio economic exploitations and psychological humiliations for centuries. Thus the system of untouchability has been a disgrace to the remarkable achievement of Hindu civilisation. Despite great trauma and turmoil for many centuries in the whole of India due to Muslim aggressions and conquests Hinduism had to look inward to preserve itself against the wide spread persecution by Muslims. At the same time we witnessed the dawn of a synergic movement in which at the mystical level there was a synthesis between two faiths Hinduism and Islam. These factors led to a devotional revival which is known as Bhakti Movement. The book contains detailed account of the composition of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. The book deals with the setting up of Gurudwaras. It also throws light on significant thoughts and announcements made by the President of India Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and the Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh during their visits to Amritsar in August and September in 2004 on the auspicious occasion of the 400 Anniversary of the installation of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. An attempt has been made to look at Sri Guru Granth Sahib as a sacred scripture of the world. It also focuses on the fascinating life story of all the Gurus. The teachings of Guru Nanak have been discussed in depth in the book. The book is rounded off with a chapter on the role of the women in Sikhism. Guru Nanak did not attach any impurity to the women and advocated the equality of sex. In his teachings he has throughout maintained that the men and women are equal in the eyes of the almighty. 228 pp. …

Hardbound. Condición: As New. New. Contents Preface. 1. Leaders as storytellers. 2. Jawaharlal Nehru. 3. Historical evolution. 4. Identity. 5. Change. 6. Conclusion. 7. Bibliography. Index. This is a multidisciplinary book traversing the fields of politics philosophy and literature. It examines Nehru's contribution to communication as a leader in terms of the language that he spoke and wrote in terms of rhetoric. In rhetoric the book's axis is the role of metaphors. It is a book that attempts to go beyond the paradigm of Nehru's emphasis on modernity and change. In this sense Nehru's work and writings are closer to Marx and Foucault for they too can be worked upon to go beyond what they are generally perceived to be. This book attempts to show how is not possible to appropriate Nehru either by the right or the left wing and that how Nehru's search for identity is akin to the search that some of the inmates of Auschwitz attempted after their survival and release. This book is a plea to inspire further research on Nehru in terms of semiotics. Such an exercise has not been attempted hitherto. 238 pp.…

Chosen for the almost undefinable quality of greatness these sites together act as a sort of chronological geographical map through the world's most admired civilizations. Through each site has a unique history a style as distinct as a fingerprint these chosen 104 sites share some of the same attributes. Almost all have been centers for either commercial political or cultural power. They have existed as magnets for great people great heroism and great ingenuity. Each of them have developed a unique style that aesthetically defines the value of a culture or the greatness of mother nature. Together these places create a picture of human civilization. Their evolution can be compared contrasted and explored. Every day in every corner of the world works of great beauty and importance are being lost forever. The misconception that monuments will always be with us since they have endured for centuries has had and continues to have tragic and irreversible consequences. The great Sphinx of Egypt may soon be quite literally gone with the wind the ancient city of Angkor could be swallowed by the jungle. More recently we have seen that destruction of cultural icons can be a potent political weapon. Whether it be through the slow but inexorable work of erosion and the elements or the dramatic destruction wrought by an earthquake a bulldozer or a stick of dynamite every day in every corner of the world works of great beauty and importance are being lost forever. 100 pp. …

Tourism in the 21 century has become a very important activity both for nation states and individuals. Individuals use their disposable surpluses to undertake journeys to different destinations which they would like to experience and enjoy. The state on the other hand clearly understands that development of tourism provides employment to their countrymen and generates sizable foreign exchange with developed destinations for tourism. Therefore development of tourism is a win win situation for the state and individuals. In the process of development of tourism there are many players who take part and coordinate different activities of tourism. The first activity in tourism is to provide access to a destination. This involves a number of players both in private and public sector and there are different modes of transport which are available for an individual to travel to the destination. The second important issue is of accommodation at the destination which includes hotels guesthouses inns paying guest accommodation etc. The experience of tourists of their stay at particular accommodation is very valuable for it can make or mar the popularity of the destination. The third important issue is connected with the activities at the destination which could be regarding adventure sports art and culture ecology and heritage. A destination is primarily known for activities which a tourist could experience there. Taj Mahal a heritage monument of its own kind in the world and people visiting neighbouring areas of Agra do plan a visit to see the Taj. It is important therefore for a destination to have its activities defined and carrying capacities determined which could be propagated through tour operators and travel agents. The tourism perspective in the 21 century would be an important landmark in the development of tourism as the book discusses a number of important and related issues. 402 pp.…

During the course of several visits to the west both to Europe and to America the author was naturally struck by the difference between the position of women in English and in Indian public life. The cooperation which exists between western men and women in public affairs is practically unknown in India. Public matters in India are almost entirely in the hands of men and the reason is not far to seek because the useful organizations for human welfare in which women cooperative with men in the west hardly exists in India and where they do technically exist their influence is scarcely felt. The author has tried to answer the following questions on behalf of Indian women what can be the reason for this great difference. Should the Indian women continue to be isolated from all public affairs. What is the remedy and how is it to be applied. 358 pp.…

India has traditionally been regarded as a land of wonder and mystery as the first observer who came to India recorded their accounts. The European visitor to India in sixteenth and seventeenth century added the elements of splendour and wealth to the existing tradition. Visitors to India during world wars were often astonished to find large number of Indians who spoke English wear European clothes and followed European habits and the author found that they were even better that the English and these were the people who acted as the bridge across which to reach the heart of India. As independence approached the discussion on the appropriate lines of political progress and the short comings of the previous British rule and the constitutional advance become absorbing topic. Independence was the central theme and under tone was the thought of power. The political problem was the real one but it did not concern the British India alone it concerned the princely ruled states under the British and the question of their place in independent India and the bigger one was how can India and Pakistan with their limited resources build up and maintain a full scaled administration. 214 pp. …

The deposits of course are the sheet anchor to generate initial finances but lending of banks have manifold dimensions. Dr. Pratima Kapoor's present treatise unfolds this aspect of Banking in proper perspective. As to how loans from the banks can help to alleviate the national poverty to meet the domestic needs and give rise to the sense of respect and importance to the loanees have been widely and vividly discussed in this book. This work of Dr. Kapoor reveals that the studies cannot be confined to the four walls of the libraries although author has drawn heavily from various source materials but her actual field of study stretches from plain low land situations to the high mountain tops from the valleys and dales of the country side to the bustling bazaars where the beneficiaries have to be contacted to get feed backs regarding the utilization of loan money and efforts to repay it back to the banks. The task was not simple. They had to be interrogated while ploughing the land and thrashing the crops while celebrating the fairs and festivals and enjoying the birthdays or marriages. On the whole the loan component study of Dr. Pratima Kapoor is not just an academic effort but has all the elements of a creative writing. The tone and contents of the text have exposed the fact how through the mechanism and facilities of the bank loan poverty can be converted into prosperity. 315 pp.…

This book is confined strictly to an understanding of Tagore as a novel writer. A book on Tagore needs no publicity. Tagore the First Nobel Laureate of India is undoubtedly a genius of our times a veritable Encyclopaedia and the best representative of Indian creativity. There is no aspect of Indian life which does not find expressions in his writings. Tagore was man to whom nothing that was human could be alien. To us he was indeed the high priest of life and humanity. He saw life whole and thrilled to it with the joy that is the other side to strength. He touched and elucidated life everywhere and in turn life showered him countless bounties. To Rabindranath every experience was an adventure every phenomenon a miracle and every ordeal turned into Ananddhara Bohichhe Bhuvane (He wrote this song just after death of his dear one). And the value of Kufe was revealed to him in the context of universal love. Although about three hundred volumes of his works manifest the extraordinary versatility of his towering genius his global reputation as a poet playwright novelist thinker educationist and a prophet could find its way through limited renderings of them in other languages and especially in English. It is strange however that not much attempt has been made so far to highlight his achievements as fiction writer although he contributed as significantly to it as poetry. The present book displays multifarious aspects of human life as portrayed in his novels life of common persona of today's times. The basic ideas portrayed in the novels open out at least one aspect of this versatile genius who has become a legend and who is considered not as an individual but as an era. As there has been not much detailed study of Tagore's novels so far this book will be the first and original attempt at assessing critically and objectively this important fact of Tagore's genius. 216 pp.…

Bibliography. Index. In the book Philosophy of Thought Dialectics and Polylectics the author Dr. Ratnamuthu Sugathan discusses how Nietzsche's objections to reason (logocentrism) and reality took him to the perspectivism and metaphorics in Nietzsche (aided by a reading of Eric Blondel). This combined with Derrida's Theory of Meaning (deferral as well as difference in multiple signification) Foucault's decentering of thought emergence of multiple perspectives in the context of Barthes notion on the death of author Derrida's finding of the rupture of thought and the loss of locus in it his dependence on the ruse namely differance which is a conflated version of Hegel's concept of difference the dialectics involved in Derrida's use of deconstruction and Nietzsche's antithetics which is the play or fire of words Derrida's observation that metaphysics became discourse with the decentering of thought and the logical disintegration of logic (Peter Dews) one witnesses in postmodern thinkers led the author (aided by the Derridean reading of Nietzsche) to think of the emergence of a new level of logic a sort of postmodern dialectics. The linkage to dialectics is because of the developments within Marxist dialectics Althusser's concept of overdetermination and Mao's innovative clarifications in the area of dialectics regarding contradiction major contradictions principal contradiction and principal aspect of contradiction. Read with Derrida's critique of binary contradictions Sugathan takes on the issue of multipolarity of contradiction not multiple contradictions but about multipolarity in a contradiction. This leads to the multipolar dialectics which Sugathan named polylectics (or multilectics) a third stage in the development of logic. Polylectics happened to be the logic of post modernism because postmetaphysics or postmodernism is the post Nietzschean pattern of thought. Dialectics critiqued metaphysics. But the logic of postmodernism critiqued both metaphysics and dialectics. Though all these phases are linked they are simultaneously paradigm ruptures also metaphysics dialectics and discourse. 344 pp.…
