Your quarterly report does not capture that. Your NPS dashboard does not explain it. With a foreword by futurist Brett King, this book draws on Shailesh Grover's thirty years across Silicon Valley start-ups, AT&T, Barclays in nineteen markets, Hong Leong Bank across Southeast Asia, and the emerging world of AI. Drawing on behavioural psychology, neuroscience and three decades of real-world transformation, Grover explores why customers choose, stay, leave and advocate, often for reasons they cannot consciously explain. He shows why NPS is a photograph, not a relationship; why customer satisfaction is not loyalty; why trust is built through thousands of seemingly insignificant moments; and why AI will amplify everything organisations already get right, and everything they get wrong. The book moves from WHY customers really behave as they do, through WHAT separates brands people love from those they merely tolerate, to HOW customer obsession becomes an operating model rather than a slogan. Then comes FUTURE: the customer experience of an AI-powered world, stage by stage across banking and air travel, and Dark Engineering, the invisible operational capability that must sit underneath AI before businesses can trust it with their customers.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9781066743827.jpg01Desire & Data PressIN04012026102801Shhalaj Publishing House20021799.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97817636067080303978176360670815978176360670800BB0101Waves of Change: Media, Peace, and Development in the Pacific3A01Shailendra SinghShailendra Singh is Deputy Head of School (Research) and Head of Journalism at The University of the South Pacific (USP) in Suva, Fiji.

Besides a serious review of previous publications that have either directly or indirectly touched upon the subject matter, the nine chapters draw on recent geopolitical shifts and developments in the Pacific to provide fresh perspectives and insights into the current issues at stake. As a region undergoing rapid transformation, the Pacific's complexities are unravelled with precision and depth. The focus is appropriate: not only is sustainable peace and stability elusive, but its absence also impedes long term development.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9781763606708.jpg01Shhalaj Publishing HouseIN04012024070101Shhalaj Publishing House20021395.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178670060303978811786700615978811786700600EB0101Dr. Ambedkar’s Critical Analysis of Indian History1A01Haridwar Singh01en002400312HIS054000HISTORY / Social History01954 2303DS436.S56 2018041. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-1956. 2. India—History. 3. Muslims—Political actiity—India. 4. India—History—Partition, 1947.0300Much 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162371.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178670130303978811786701315978811786701300EB0101Dr. B.R.

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.

Written in clear non technical language with educational research examples this book shows how each of these workings of the research process changes in a net enabled context. Recent applications of information and communication technologies (ICTs) have a strong social impact on society and daily life. One of the aspects of society that has been transforming is the way of learning and teaching. In recent years, we have seen exponential growth in electronic learning (e-Learning) such as Internet-based learning through Web services. E-learning is defined as an innovative approach for facilitating well designed, media-equipped, interactive and learner-friendly education for anybody, anywhere, and at any time by applying various digital sources along with other educational methods, provided through open, flexible, and well-distributed educational systems. Thus e-Learning can take place at people’s work or at home and at the time they are available. The author has specially designed this book based on the original readings. In the present book the author has made an effort to keep the language simple, without compromising the effectiveness of the argument or diluting the analyses.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867037.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178670440303978811786704415978811786704400EB0101Empowerment of Tribal People in India : Problems and Potential1A01Madhu Kumari01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01305.800954 2303GN635.I4M33 2018041. India—Scheduled tribes—Government policy. 2. India—Scheduled tribes—Legal status, laws, etc.0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162036.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178670510303978811786705115978811786705100EB0101Encyclopaedia of Indian Dances(2Volume Set)1A01B.C.

Human rights—Environmental aspects. 2. Environmental Law. 3. Environmental protection.4. International trade—Environmental aspects0300Man 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162043.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178670820303978811786708215978811786708200EB0101Ethnic Identity, Ethnicity and Social Structure in Indian Tribes1A01Neelam Kumari01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01305.800954 2303GN635.I4K86 2018041. Tribes—India. 2. Ethnicity—India. 3. Social structure—India.0300Perhaps 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162050_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178670990303978811786709915978811786709900EB0101Ethnographic Atlas of Indian Tribes1A01Om Prakash Singh01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01305.800954 2303GN635.I4S56 2018041. Tribes—India. 2. Adivasis.0300Adivasi 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867099.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178671050303978811786710515978811786710500EB0101Folk Music of Northeast1A01D.C.

Folk music--India, Northeastern.0300Northeast 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162746.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178671120303978811786711215978811786711200EB0101Globalization and Human Rights1A01Sadhana ThakurDr. Sadhana Thakur did her M.A. (1991) and Ph.

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.

Hindu art--India. 2. Hindu architecture--India.0300Hinduism 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. This book is a great erudition Hindu Religions Art and Architecture is not merely a book on the history of art and architecture it is also a comprehensive study of the cultural history of India.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867129.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178671360303978811786713615978811786713600EB0101History of India(Set of 3 Vol. in 4 Part)1A01B.C.

Social movements—India.0300Human 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162098.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178671500303978811786715015978811786715000EB0101Human Rights for the Physically Handicapped and Aged1A01Amit Kumar01en002400312POL035010POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights01342.087 2303K637.K86 2018041.

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.

Human rights. 2. Power (Social sciences) 3. Social change.0300In 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162111.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178671740303978811786717415978811786717400EB0101Identity, Gender and Poverty in Indian Tribes: New Perspectives1A01Purnima Singh01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01305.800954 2303GN635.I4S56 2018041.

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.

Ethnic art—India, Northeastern.0300India 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.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162142.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178672040303978811786720415978811786720400EB0101Indus Civilization - Arts and Crafts1A01Mahesh Chandra MishraMahesh Chandra Mishra, b. 1983 a qualified teacher teaching Political Science at J.D.

Arts, Indic.0300Indian Civilization and culture is not only ancient but it is also extensive and varied. Many races and people have contributed and enriched it. Its key not is synthesis on the basis of eternal values. Thus the foundations of the two great ideals of Indian civilization-synthesis of cultures and spiritual regeneration of man have been truly laid, on which future structure of India's culture and civilization has been raised. The Harappans made brilliantly naturalistic models of animals, specially charming being the tiny monkeys and squirrels used as pinheads and beads. For their children, they made cattle-toys with movable heads, model monkeys which would slide down a string, little toy-carts, and whistles shaped like birds, all of terracotta. They also made rough terra cotta statuettes of women, usually naked or nearly naked, but with elaborate headdresses; these are probably icons of the Mother Goddess. Art and craft of Indus Valley Civilisation touched the peak of excellence in its contemporary times. The Indus Valley civilization is one of the initial urban civilizations in the world, along with its contemporaries, Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. The people of this ancient Indus river valley developed new techniques in handicraft. The book fully captures the uniformity in diversity of the Indus Civilization and covers its different dimensions.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162654.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178672110303978811786721115978811786721100EB0101Interlinking of Rivers in IndiaIssues and Concerns1A01Md.

Water resources development—India.0300The 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.

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.

Jafar Imam01en002400312MUS000000MUSIC / General01069.5 2303AM5.I43 2018041. Museum techniques.0300Museology 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121095.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178672590303978811786725915978811786725900EB0101Living Traditions in Indian Art1A01Madhu Rani01en002400312ART020000ART / Techniques / Painting01790.20954 2303NX576.M33 2018041. Performing arts—India—History. 2. Painting, Indic.0300Indian 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121101.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178672660303978811786726615978811786726600EB0101Maratha EmpireRise and Decline1A01C.D.

Shivaji, Raja, 1627-1680.0300The Maratha Empire and in its later years also known as the Maratha Confederacy, was a Hindu state of India which existed from 1674 to 1818. It was founded by Chhatrapati Shivaji. The most important challenge to the decaying Mughal power came from the Maratha Kingdom which was the most powerful of the succession states. In fact, it alone possessed the strength to fill the political vacuum created by the disintegration of the Mughal Empire. Moreover, it produced a number of brilliant commanders and statesmen needed for the task. But the Maratha sardars lacked unity, and they lacked the outlook and programme which were necessary for founding an all-India empire. The Rise of Marathas in the 17th century is an important event in the History of India. It is said that Marathas were hybrids of Aryans and Dravids. Perhaps ‘Maraiha’ word is originated from ‘Ratha’ or ‘Maharatha’ or ‘Rashtra’. ‘Ratha’ or ‘Maratha’ or ‘Rashtra’ etc. words were used for that state which was situated in South India like triangles. Shivaji’s legacy was to vary by observer and time, but began to take on increased importance with the emergence of the Indian independence movement, as many elevated him as a proto-nationalist and hero of the Hindus. Particularly in Maharashtra, debates over his history and role have engendered great passion and sometimes even violence as disparate groups have sought to characterise him and his legacy. This book deals with history of rise and progress of power of Maratha confederacy.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867266.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178672730303978811786727315978811786727300EB0101Medieval Art and Culture1A01Tarun Kumar01en002400312ART015070ART / History / Medieval01709.54 2303N7302.K86 2018041.

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. This book will be indispensable reading for everyone interested in medieval art and culture.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121118_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178672800303978811786728015978811786728000EB0101Meditation Techniques in Yoga1A01C.D.

Meditation.0300This 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121323_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178672970303978811786729715978811786729700EB0101Mental Health and Yoga1A01D.C.

Mental health.0300The need for effective population mental health promotion approaches is urgent as mental health concerns are escalating globally and current allopathic treatment regimens are insufficient to bring people towards the state of mental well-being (citation). Successfully alleviating stress has the potential to promote wellbeing and prevent illness. Worldwide, yoga is gaining popularity as an accessible, acceptable and cost-effective practice for mind and body. Yoga functions like a self-soothing technique in that it alters the stress response system, helping to tame and quiet down the nervous system. In this way, the mental benefits of yoga are witnessed with the reduction of stress by way of decreased cortisol (stress hormone) levels in our body. An overarching theme that weaves its way through all yoga poses is the letting go of deep holding patterns in the body and finding a state of balance to support healing. Longer-held poses characteristic of Restorative yoga, for example, function to dial down the sympathetic nervous system's fight-or-flight response, the place we react from when feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope with the many demands of our lives. Then, a space is created to move from fight-flight to relaxation, and the parasympathetic nervous system (which is responsible for activating the relaxation response) can thrive and work efficiently. This book does not promise to be a comprehensive text book but aims to inform and provoke a dialogue among family physicians themselves and with Mental Health Professionals in hope that through this dialogue a series of activities would evolve wherein Mental Health Education of family physicians could be taken care of by themselves.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121330.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178673030303978811786730315978811786730300EB0101Metaphysics of Patanjali Sutra1A01Suresh ChandraDr. Suresh Chandra, a highly qualified person obtained his all higher qualifications M.A. Ph.D. from Allahabad University in Political Science.

Metaphysics.0300Metaphysics, 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. Yoga psychology provides the foundation for Indian psychology, an emerging discipline, rooted in classical Indian tradition.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867303.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178673100303978811786731015978811786731000EB0101Methodology for Social Work Research1A01D.C.

Social service--Research--Methodology.0300Social work research means conducting an investigation in accordance with the scientific method. The aim of social work research is to build the social work knowledge base in order to solve practical problems in social work practice or social policy. Investigating phenomena in accordance with the scientific method requires maximal adherence to empirical principles, such as basing conclusions on observations that have been gathered in a systematic, comprehensive, and objective fashion. The resources in this entry discuss how to do that as well as how to utilize and teach research methods in social work. Social design has many definitions and the term is put to very different uses across the globe. Some definitions exist within the design world and refers to design in its traditional sense, meaning the shaping of products and services. Other definitions refer to social design as the creation of social reality; design of the social world. Quantitative research certainly does have certain advantages for social scientists aiming to make significant contributions to their fields. By operationalizing variables, quantitative research seeks to measure change, allowing us to make important comparisons and quantify correlations. This book is a one-stop introduction to research and evaluation for social workers. Including unique project examples, exercises, discussion points and extensive signposting to further reading, and drawing on the author's many years of teaching experience, it is essential reading for students who may be unfamiliar with research methods.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121262.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178673270303978811786732715978811786732700EB0101Mughal Empire: Rise and Fall1A01Lalit V.

India--History--1526-1765.0300The Mughal Empire was an empire that at its greatest territorial extent ruled parts of what is todays Afghanistan, Pakistan and most of the Indian Subcontinent, then known as Hindustan, between 1526 and 1707. The empire was founded by the Timurid leader Babur in 1526, when he defeated Ibrahim Lodi, the last of the Delhi Sultans at the First Battle of Panipat. “Mughal” is the Persian word for “Mongol”. The religion of the Mughals was Islam. The Mughals effectively ruled India for about 150 years during the 16th and 17th centuries, a period roughly comparable with that of the British Raj. On the whole, comparisons favour the latter. The British bequeathed India an impressive network of communications, a legal system and viable administration, a tradition of democratic government that has survived, battered but unbroken. The Mughal Empire, which had reached its zenith during the rule of Shah Jahan and his son, began to decline after the rule of Aurangzeb. In fact, the decline began during the last days of Aurangzeb. There were many causes for the downfall of this great dynasty. Let us view the causes that hastened the fall of the Mughal Empire after Aurangzeb. The present book accounts all the major factors responsible for the downfall of Mughal empire.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121200.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178673340303978811786733415978811786733400EB0101Museums, Museology and New Museology1A01Shahida Munsuri01en002400312ART059000ART / Museum Studies01069 2303AM111.M86 2018041. Museums. 2. Museum techniques.0300Museology 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. This book is highly recommended to readers who seek a global vision of museum studies.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121125.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178673410303978811786734115978811786734100EB0101Naxalites and Tribals : Life and Problems1A01Mahesh Chandra MishraMahesh Chandra Mishra, b. 1983 a qualified teacher teaching Political Science at J.D.

Or the children those are forced to be at work when they should be in school? They did not realise that deep rooted corruption made this country the worst place not only for the poor but for every general citizen. Maoists in India have become the gravest threat to our country. The extent and magnitude of the Maoists operations are so gigantic that they are affecting the social, economic and political and even the well being of our country. ‘Indigenous’ people is the term which is more widely used and accepted in the international circles. That term has been deliberately avoided in this paper. In the Indian context, tribal or adivasi people of India do not necessarily precede their settlement in this country to all other communities. It is difficult to establish who were the original dwellers in chronological terms. Tribal communities in India have lived along with non-tribal communities belonging to different religions and cultures for several centuries. India’s tribal population had for ages lived in isolation and had not participated in main-stream socio-economic development. Even among the tribal communities, inter-communication was restricted. In Nagaland, for example, due to inter-village and inter-clan feuds, although the tribes live in proximity, they are yet isolated from one another. The feud is still carried over to the present time, where none of the tribal languages is accepted for wider communication, even the lingua franca-Nagamese lost out to English being accepted as the state official language. This book provides deep insight to various dimensions of issues relating to development of this subject.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788194216940.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178673580303978811786735815978811786735800EB0101Panchayati Raj Institutions and Rural Development1A01R.C.

Patañjali. Yogasūtra. 2. Yoga.0300Patanjali'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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121231_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178673720303978811786737215978811786737200EB0101Pranayama and Breathing Practices in Yoga1A01K.

Prānāyāma. 2. Hatha yoga.0300Pranayama 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. Logical explanations for various aspects of Pranayama.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788194216957_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178673890303978811786738915978811786738900EB0101Ragas in Indian Music1A01Nandita Kumari01en002400312MUS01500001781.2640954 2303ML345.I43K86 2022041. Raga--India. 2. Music--India--History and criticism.0300Classical 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669295.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178673960303978811786739615978811786739600EB0101Relevance of Ambedkar's Ideology1A01Rakesh Ranjan01en002400312SOC031000SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination01954.035 2303DS480.45.R36 2018041.

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. This book is a significant contribution to the understanding of Ambedkar’s life, ideology, and mission.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162432_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178674020303978811786740215978811786740200EB0101Religion, State, and Society in Medieval India1A01Manika Raj Priya01en002400312REL084000RELIGION / Religion, Politics & State01306.60954 2303BL2015.S6R45 2018041.

State.0300The 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. Besides this Saivite development there was in South India at that time a devotional school of Vaishnavism whose saints were known as Alvars. Kabir was a Mohammedan weaver who early in his life came under the influence of Hindu mysticism. 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 book 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. Students of History, sociology, political science will find it useful in their study.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121132_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178674190303978811786741915978811786741900EB0101Research Methodology in Social Sciences1A01D.C.

Social sciences--Research--Methodology.0300Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research methods, but also the methodology. Social Science research is fueled by the desire to find out what makes people tick. There are several diverse fields that comprise the Social Sciences including anthropology, economics, sociology and psychology. Social research involves creating a theory, operationalization and observation. Social theories are written in the language of variables, in other words, theories describe logical relationships between variables. Variables are logical sets of attributes, with people being the ‘carriers’ of those variables. Variables are also divided into independent variables (data) that influences the dependent variables. Research Methodology, as introduced in this book, is a means to understand the ways in which social science research produces multiple accounts of the world. Further, methodology specifies how the researcher may go about practically studying whatever he or she believes can be known. Social research methodology is contextualised within a comprehensive discussion of epistemology and ontology. The different paradigms current in the social sciences (positivist, interpretative and constructionist) are presented and illustrated descriptively.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788194216926.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178674260303978811786742615978811786742600EB0101Research Methods in Anthropology1A01Lalit V.

Anthropology--Research--Methodology.0300Anthropology is the study of humanity. It has origins in the natural sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. The term “anthropology”, is from the Greek anthrôpos, “man”, and -logia, “discourse” or “study”, and was first used in 1501 by German philosopher Magnus Hundt. Research Methods in Anthropology is the standard textbook for methods classes in anthropology programs. Written in Russ Bernard's unmistakable conversational style, this fourth edition continues the tradition of previous editions, which have launched tens of thousands of students into the fieldwork enterprises with a combination of rigorous methodology, wry humor and commonsense advice. Social anthropology also explores the role of meanings, ambiguities and contradictions of social life, patterns of sociality, violence and conflict; and the underlying logics of social behaviour. Social anthropologists are trained in the interpretation of narrative, ritual and symbolic behaviour, not merely as text, but with communication examined in relation to action, practice, and the historical context in which it is embedded. Social anthropologists address the diversity of positions and perspectives to be found within any social group.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162449.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178674400303978811786744015978811786744000EB0101River Pollution in India and Its Management1A01Md.

Water—Pollution—Government policy—India. 3. Stream ecology—India. 4. Water quality—India.0300Water 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. This is a handbook for policy makers and environmental managers in water authorities and engineering companies engaged in water quality programmes.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162456.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178674570303978811786745715978811786745700EB0101River Water DiversionEnvironmental Effects and Implications1A01Md.

Water resources development—Environmental aspects.0300Water 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162463.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178674640303978811786746415978811786746400EB0101Rivers of India1A01Md.

Rivers—India.0300Based 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162470.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178674710303978811786747115978811786747100EB0101Rural DevelopmentPrinciples, Policies and Management (2 Vol)1A01Jyoti Sinha01en002320312BUS068000BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development01307.14120954 2303HN690.Z9C6 2018041.

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. This book is primarily targeted at graduate and post-graduate students of Rural Development, Agricultural Policy and Planning and Rural Management.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162500.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178674880303978811786748815978811786748800EB0101Rural development through community participation1A01Anoop Kumar Singh01en002400312BUS068000BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development01307.14120954 2303HN690.Z9C6 2018041.

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. 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162494.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178674950303978811786749515978811786749500EB0101Sardar Patel and Freedom Movements in India1A01Dr. Vibhu Kumar01en002400312HIS037070HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century01954.035092 2303DS481.P35K86 2018041.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162517.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178675010303978811786750115978811786750100EB0101Schedule Tribes of India1A01Shakil Anjum01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01305.800954 2303GN635.I4A55 2018041. India—Scheduled tribes—Social life and customs. 2. Customary law—India0300People 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162159.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178675180303978811786751815978811786751800EB0101Social Anthropology1A01Suresh ChandraDr. Suresh Chandra, a highly qualified person obtained his all higher qualifications M.A. Ph.D. from Allahabad University in Political Science.

Ethnology.0300Social anthropology explores the role of meanings. ambiguities and contradictions of social life, patterns of sociality, violence and conflict, and the underlying logics of social behaviour. It is distinguished from sociology, both in its main methods based on long term participant observation and linguistic competence, and in its commitment to the relevance and illumination provided by micro studies. Social anthropology is the study of all peoples everywhere – what they make, what they do, what they think and how they organise their social relationships and societies. There are many variants of social anthropology. The Indian variant is a combination of British social anthropology and Indian sociology. Of late the combination has also affected the methodology. It is argued that the students of social anthropology cannot be served by yesterday’s social anthropology which is only a state recipe. There is a felt need to provide students and researchers with a suitably simple yet comprehensive introduction to the subject of Social Anthropology. The present publication seeks to fulfill this need and it is hoped that not only will the book provide the basic guidelines for the aspiring students of anthropology but also equip the research student with a roadmap to the complexities of the subject for his further studies and specialization. The aim of this book is to present a core of this subject knowledge that is desirable for students. Every attempt has been made to keep abreast of the advances in the subject and at the same time to include the fundamentals.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867518.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178675250303978811786752515978811786752500EB0101Social Justice and Human Rights1A01Md.

Human rights0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162166.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178675320303978811786753215978811786753200EB0101Social Problems: A Human Rights Perspective1A01Henna Tabassum01en002400312POL035010POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights01323 2303K3240.T33 2018041.

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.

Social service—India. 2. Social justice—India. 3. Human rights—India. 4. India—Social policy.0300Social 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 present book is an effort to help scholars, activists, and practitioners promote a human rights culture and the overall well-being of populations across the globe.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162180.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178675560303978811786755615978811786755600EB0101Socio-economic and Political Vision of Dr. B.R.

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.

Buddhism.0300Buddhist 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.

The author has tried to bring out the unity in all religions. The encyclopaedia is a valuable contribution to the literature of comparative religion and represents a noteworthy attempt at a study of all religions in a sympathetic spirit. In our discussion on the relatedness of culture to religion, we should state it clearly that the approach in this conversation is not emphasising cultural materialism, although it must be recognised that cultural materialism might at some stage in the discussion play a role. My focus is much more concerned with an understanding of culture in terms of sociocultural systems. The Indian cultural tradition is unique. The notions of dharma (normative order), karma (personal moral commitment] and jati (caste) as the hierarchical principles of social stratification are basic to Indian culture. Although many scholars have worked on the history of oriental religion-philosophical tradition, but no such complete and comprehensive work on this subject is available to us. Keeping this in mind, were are planning to publish this book Philosophy and Religion. The concentration will be on Hinduism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Buddhism, Islam, and Sikhism and on other minor oriental religion and philosophy.

India—Civilization.0300The 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. Students of History, sociology, political science will find it useful in their study.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121033.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House20021749.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178675940303978811786759415978811786759400EB0101Sardar Patel and his relation with Gandhi, Nehru and Bose (3 Vol. Set)1A01Manish Jha01en007040312HIS037070HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century01954.035092 2303DS481.P35J43 2018041.

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.

Tribes—India—Social life and customs. 2. India — Scheduled tribes—Social life and customs.0300India has traditionally been the home of different cultures and people. Unity in diversity is one of the most prominent features in the people of India. Among the diversified population a significant portion is comprised of the tribal people, the original inhabitants of the land. 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162197.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178676170303978811786761715978811786761700EB0101The Empire of the Great Mughals: History, Art and Culture1A01Suraj Nandan Prasad01en002400312HIS054000HISTORY / Social History01720.954 2303NA1502.P73 2018041.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121149.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178676240303978811786762415978811786762400EB0101The Ganga and India's Future1A01Md.

Water--Pollution--Ganges River (India and Bangladesh)0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162555.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178676310303978811786763115978811786763100EB0101The Protection of Minorities and Human Rights1A01Afroze Eqbal01en002400312POL035010POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights01342.087 2303K3242.E63 2018041.

Human rights0300A 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. Graduate Law Students, Theologians, political and social scientists, legal scholars, and human rights professionals will find this book useful in their collection.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867631.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178676480303978811786764815978811786764800EB0101The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali1A01R.C.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867648.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178676550303978811786765515978811786765500EB0101Theory and Practice in the Art Museum1A01Anoop Kumar Singh01en002320312ART059000ART / Museum Studies01708 2303N410.S56 2018041. Art museums. 2. Cultural property.0300An 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121156.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178676620303978811786766215978811786766200EB0101Tribal CultureChange and Mobility1A01Chandra Bhushan Mishra01en002400312HIS054000HISTORY / Social History01305.800954 2303GN635.I4M57 2018041.

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. Students of social studies and social work will find this book as important reference along with the policy makers.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121163.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178676790303978811786767915978811786767900EB0101Tribal Demography and Development in North-east India1A01Bindeshwar Prasad Mandal01en002400312BUS068000BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development01305.8009541 2303GN635.I4M36 2018041. India, Northeastern—Scheduled tribes. 2. India, Northeastern—Scheduled tribes—Population.0300Of 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.

Tribes--Government policy--India. 2. Tribes--India.0300Any development process in India should begin with the schemes/programmes meant for scheduled tribes (STs) and scheduled castes (SCs), as these are the most disadvantaged and neglected people in the society. These are the people who are economically backward and oppressed by the landlords and rural gentry over a period of time. Therefore, there is a need for sincere efforts on the part of the government to help improve the quality of life of STs and SCs. The programme manacle by involving Community-based Organisations, Tribal Development Society, Programme Management Unit, District Programme Implementation Units, Non-Governmental Organisations, and relevant line agencies belonging to the government of both States. At the village level, the Gram Sabha (GS) is the basic unit for planning, co-ordinating and monitoring programme activities.  The development of the tribal population in India has been a major concern of the government, voluntary agencies, NGOs, social reformers, social scientists etc. But even after five decades we are no nearer to the solution of the problem. Rather, things appear to be more muddled than before. Schemes after schemes have been conceived and implemented. Most of them have failed. In most cases the tribal life has worsened. This book elaborately discusses all relevant issues in comprehensive way of Tribal Welfare and Environment Development and the subject matter in a concise and an intelligible form, keeping in view the needs of the average student, researcher and teacher.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867686.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178676930303978811786769315978811786769300EB0101Tribal Development in India : Myth and Reality1A01Ravi Shankar Kr.

Tribes—Legal status, laws, etc.—India.0300Tribes 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.

Tribes—Medical care— India.0300Tribal 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162234.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178677160303978811786771615978811786771600EB0101Tribal Life and Forests1A01Prabhat Kumar01en002400312NAT000000NATURE / General01305.80954 2303GN635.I4K86 2018041. Tribes—India—Social conditions. 2. Tribes—India—Economic conditions. 3. Tribes—Government policy—India. 4. Forests and forestry—Social aspects—India.0300The 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.

Tribes--India--Social life and customs.0300The social division of labor—the division of social roles in society—appears to play a very important role in shaping liminal situations. In less differentiated societies, many liminal situations are more structured and more fully ritualized. Accordingly, different themes of liminality, protest, and antistructure are more fully articulated and, in fact, highly regulated. Max Gluckman’s classical analysis of rituals of rebellion (1963) portrays exactly this type of situation, in which protest, liminality, and antistructure are very closely interrelated, fully structured, and placed in the center of the society. Tribal societies came under stress due to several factors. The extension of commerce, military incursions on tribal land, and the resettling of Brahmins amidst tribal populations had an impact, as did ideological coercion or persuasion to attract key members of the tribe into “mainstream” Hindu society. This led to many tribal communities becoming integrated into Hindu society as jatis (or castes) while others who resisted were pushed into the hilly or forested areas, or remote tracks that had not yet been settled. This book deals with an unstated premise of the twentieth century paradigm for cultural development. This premise is that civilizations are the legitimate teleology of cultural development and that settlement societies like the plantation societies formed from the eighteenth century onwards ought to be considered as resting on the peripheries of developmental process. On the face of it, there is nothing wrong in this premise: in our quest for authenticity and ennobling ideals of human development, we do of course look upon civilizations as the pinnacle.

Therefore land is the key to tribal identity. The aboriginal tribes of India are the oldest inhabitants of the country. For millennia, tribal societies have been subjugated by more recently arrived groups; their land was taken away, they were pushed further into the hilly gorges and wilds, and they were forced to work for their oppressors often without payment. Today tribal groups, which number more than 40 million, require special attention from the government even though they live largely isolated from the national culture. The tribal can not be separated from their homeland. To understand the tribal identity we have to study their geographical concentration. The tribal in India are concentrated in five main natural groups which are based on ecological, social, economic, administrative, ethnic and racial factors. Tribal culture speculate the complex religion and strange beliefs. All the various tribal communities, narrows down to one common facts-a real world outlined with countless myths. Since time immemorial, the concept of understanding nature and the style of living life has underwent several changes. But yet, many tribal folks are not behind to pass on their ancestral belief to the their next generation. A very interesting way to unfold their culture, is to brief out the sign and symbols, which represents the status and style within the society.

That is the study of areas which have a high concentration of buildings and infrastructure. These are areas where the majority of economic activities are in the secondary sector and tertiary sectors. They probably have a high population density. Urban in geography means a developed area that is related to a city or town. Urban areas constitute a city or town and some form of settlement. The term is used in social geography to describe an area that is densely populated. Urban, city, and town planning integrates land use planning and transport planning to improve the built, economic and social environments of communities. Regional planning deals with a still larger environment, at a less detailed level. Urban planning can include urban renewal, by adapting urban planning methods to existing cities suffering from decay and lack of investment. Sustainable development and sustainability influence today’s urban planners. Some planners argue that modern lifestyles use too many natural resources, polluting or destroying ecosystems, increasing social inequality, creating urban heat islands, and causing climate change. Many urban planners, therefore, advocate sustainable cities. The book has been designed to approach this subject in a simple and lucid style. The method of presentation is very clear and lucid, which can be easily followed by the students.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867747.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178677540303978811786775415978811786775400EB0101Village Development PlanningImproving and Inspiring1A01R.N.

Most in the village live with no means of livelihood. Poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, & poor infrastructure are a big concern. The lack of primary health care facilities, along with gender disparity, high incidence of infant mortality, poor maternal health, child undernourishment are additional grave issues for the villages. Rural development in general is used to denote the actions and initiatives taken to improve the standard of living in non-urban neighbourhoods, countryside, and remote villages. These communities can be exemplified with a low ratio of inhabitants to open space.

Mental health. 3. Personality.0300Yoga 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788194216964.jpgReadworthy Press Corporation01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178677780303978811786777815978811786777800EB0101Yoga for Maintaining Mental Health1A01Mahesh Chandra MishraMahesh Chandra Mishra, b. 1983 a qualified teacher teaching Political Science at J.D.

Mental health.0300Yoga 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.

Yoga helps to develop a greater positive thinking, perseverance, orientation towards the supreme prayer as well as kindness and understanding from the way to self-knowledge and self-realization. Yoga has also been described as wisdom in work of skillful living amongst activities, harmony and moderation. Yoga Asanas have a profound impact on the systems of the human body. The muscles, bones, nervous system, respiratory, circulatory and digestive systems of the human body are greatly benefited from regular practice of yoga asanas. The body becomes more flexible, and more able to adjust to environmental changes after practising asanas. The sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous systems are brought into a state of balance with the help of asanas.

Yoga.0300Yoga 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.

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 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. Structural therapy is the mindful application of holistic biomechanics by a practitioner to a client, with the full participation of that client. Touch energetics establish resonance between the practitioner and client before and during hands-on adjustments. With practice, the practitioner learns to differentiate between types of resistance: compression, tension, muscle, and connective tissue. Along with physical resistances, there can be and often are patterns of resistance in the emotional and mental bodies. Hands-on adjustments would be of little value in the long run unless they illustrate to the client how good alignment, with appropriate integration and expansion, feels. The hope is that the client will gain a kinesthetic awareness of how to create healing alignment for themselves. Whereas traditional Yoga is primarily concerned with personal transcendence on the part of a “normal” or healthy individual, Yoga therapy aims at the holistic treatment of various kinds of psychological or somatic dysfunctions ranging from back problems to emotional distress. Both approaches, however, share an understanding of the human being as an integrated body-mind system, which can function optimally only when there is a state of dynamic balance.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867822.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178678390303978811786783915978811786783900EB0101Yoga Education- Pranayama and Preparation in Breathing1A01Lalit V.

The ancient sages taught that prana, the vital force circulating through us, can be cultivated and channeled through a panoply of breathing exercises. In the process, the mind is calmed, rejuvenated, and uplifted. Pranayama serves as an important bridge between the outward, active practices of yoga-like asana-and the internal, surrendering practices that lead us into deeper states of meditation.

Painting—History.0300Art 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. This book is an excellent resource guide for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about global arts and architectures.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788117867846.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881178678530303978811786785315978811786785300EB0101Women, Gender and Human Rights1A01Sadhana ThakurDr. Sadhana Thakur did her M.A. (1991) and Ph.

Women’s rights. 2. Sex discrimination against women— Law and legislation.0300Gender 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.

Women’s rights—Religious aspects—Islam. 2. Women (Islamic law)—India.0300Women’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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162258.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026101501Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881899730010303978818997300115978818997300100BB0101Ecological Perspectives in Buddhism1A01K C Pandey<p>Dr. K.C.

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.

Actually, as our ancestors were children of nature, their quest and the resultant dialogues are as simple as they are relevant, to our day-to-day life. 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. He went to the extent of saying that the Vedanta is the future religion of the world.

Sufism. 2. Spiritual life--Sufism.0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788189973490_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012008010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002240.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881899735060303978818997350615978818997350600BB0101Bio-Diesel: Bio-degradable Alternative Fuel for Diesel Engines1A01Dr. Gadepalli Ravi Kiran Sastry01en001810312BUS070020BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Industries / Automobile Industry032008335507041.

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.

Injury to them leads to deformity or even to death. 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.

Sufism. 2. Spiritual life--Sufism.0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788189973490_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012008010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002480.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881899735370303978818997353715978818997353700BC0101Insights into Existence - Essays on the Upanisads1A01Raghunandan<p>Raghunandan is presently associated with Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya, Hurda, Rajasthan.

Actually, as our ancestors were children of nature, their quest and the resultant dialogues are as simple as they are relevant, to our day-to-day life. 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. He went to the extent of saying that the Vedanta is the future religion of the world. The essays presented in this book attempt to give a glimpse into the Upanisadic methodology or Vicara as it is called, which makes use of doubt and inquiry.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788189973100.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012008010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002320.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881899735440303978818997354415978818997354400BC0101Kanchipuram - Land of Legends, Saints & Temples1A01Dr. P.V.L.

Adi Sankaracharya, brought religious renaissance in the country by providing a new meaning to sanatana dharma. He established the Kanchi Kamakotipeetham which continues to be a center of learning and devotion. The town is credited with having around one thousand temples at one time. While Pallava rulers built most of these temples, these were extensively renovated later by Cholan and Vijayanagara kings. Exhaustive Annexures about the various rules and dynasties are also provided.

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.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788189973674_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002950.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881899736810303978818997368115978818997368100BC0101Supernatural Healing1A01Pat Smith01en001330312OCC011010BODY, MIND & SPIRIT / Healing / Energy (Qigong, Reiki, Polarity)041.

Industrial management--Handbooks, manuals, etc. 2. Project management--Handbooks, manuals, etc.0300We 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788189973742.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002195.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881899737660303978818997376615978818997376600BC0101Children With Dyslexia - A Handbook for Parents & Teachers1A01Dushyant Kushwah<p>Dr. Dushyant Kushwah, a well known Audiologist and Speech-Language Therapist, is presently Consultant at Mata Channan Devi Hospital, New Delhi.

In spite of ever increasing investment in housing sector, the problem remains stupendous. It is necessary, therefore, to have a hard look at the ongoing policies, processes, plans and programmes and evolve alternative approaches for housing delivery. Describing the growth and rehabilitation of slum in Delhi, it offers an elaborate discussion on community-based rehousing, Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme, security of land tenure, public housing transformation, and role of private sector in social housing. It also deals with infrastructure development, regularization of unauthorized colonies, emergency shelter housing development and design, systems-based housing production, and cost reduction in construction of shelter.

D.01en001570312SEL031000SELF-HELP / Personal Growth / General041. Man-woman relationships.0300One 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788189973926.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002190.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881899739330303978818997393315978818997393300BB0101The Concept of Vakrokti in Sanskrit Poetics1A01Hegde Suryanarayan<p>Dr. Suryanarayan Hegde is a devoted young scholar in the field of Sanskrit Poetics and Literature.

Sanskrit poetry--History and criticism. 3. Poetics.0300In 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788189973933_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002595.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881899739400303978818997394015978818997394000BB0101Status of Hindi in India1A01Uday Kumar<p>Dr Uday Kumar is presently working on the project ‘Socio-linguistics of English in Urban India’ at the Centre for English Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.

Pakistan--Politics and government--19880300Benazir Bhutto was twice prime minister of Pakistan, and was campaigning for a return to power when she was assassinated on December 27, 2007. She was born into a political family - her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was Pakistan's Prime Minister from 1973-77, and was deposed, imprisoned, and finally executed after a military coup. Benazir was imprisoned repeatedly before leaving for exile in London. She began to take interest in the political activities of her father's party - Pakistan people's Party (PPP), and returned to Pakistan in 1986. And in 1988, she was elected Prime Minister. For the next decade she was one of the most prominent women leaders in the world, and was seen in particular as a symbol of progress in women's rights. Bhutto was again forced into exile in 1999 and came back to Pakistan in October 2007 to lead her party in upcoming national elections. This book provides deep insights into the life and achievements of Benazir Bhutto.

Short stories,0300What 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'.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788192922065.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN0401Shhalaj Publishing House2002225.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881935345330303978819353453315978819353453300EB0101Well-Being in India: Studies in Anthropometric History2A01Lance Brennan<p>Lance Brennan completed a D.Phil from the University of Sussex having graduated from the University of Western Australia with degrees in Education and History.

Prānāyāma. 2. Hatha yoga.0300Pranayama 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. Logical explanations for various aspects of Pranayama.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788194216957_hd.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021545.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881942169640303978819421696415978819421696400BB0101Yoga, Personality and Health Psychology1A01Suresh ChandraDr. Suresh Chandra, a highly qualified person obtained his all higher qualifications M.A. Ph.D. from Allahabad University in Political Science.

Mental health. 3. Personality.0300Yoga 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788194216964.jpgReadworthy Press Corporation01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012019010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021545.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881942169710303978819421697115978819421697100BB0101Yoga Philosophy: Guidelines for Life1A01K.

Philosophy, Indic.0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788194216971.jpg01IN04012019010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021545.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881942169880303978819421698815978819421698800BB0101Yoga and Physical Education1A01D.C.

With the growth of industries, pressure in the urban areas, quantitative growth in population and various problems in day-to-day life are some of the reasons for an increase in stress.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195668915.jpg01Shhalaj Publishing HouseIN04012022010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021950.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956689220303978819566892215978819566892200BB0101Evaluation of Performance of Private Equity in Select Firms1A01S.V.

Sikkim being a melting pot of ethnic cultures as well as astounding biodiversity, provides exceptional motivation for the exploration of its ethno-herpetology. Since biological and ethnic diversity is often geography-specific, studying this in small geographical regions makes sense, as knowledge of ethno-herpetology varies extraordinarily across geographic boundaries. This book has been envisaged to capture Sikkim's immense and vibrant ethno-herpetology. It is expected to bring a new understanding of this state's rich bio-cultural heritage and provide new details and directions to researchers of ethnobiology, zoology, ecology, anthropology, human ecology, and culture. It sincerely hopes to generate greater interest in Sikkim, Ethno-herpetology, and herpetofauna. It has the potential to reward integration with tourism and traditional knowledge.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195668946.jpg01Shhalaj Publishing HouseIN04012024010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021399.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956689530303978819566895315978819566895300BB0101Perspective 2.0 : merī nazar se …1A01Rajesh Aggarwal01en001920312POE005010Poetry / Subjects & Themes / Inspirational & Religious01891.4317203PK2099.12.A37 P47 2025041.

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).

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669219.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021749.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956692260303978819566922615978819566922600BB0101Ambedkar's Perspective on Buddhism and other Religions1A01S.

Dalits--India--Religion. 3. India--Religion. 4. Religions.0300Just 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. This is an important guide for all those interested in Dalit and Ambedkar Studies.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669226.jpgInnovative Imprint01Innovative ImprintIN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021749.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956692330303978819566923315978819566923300BB0101Research Methods in Human Rights1A01Hamidul Islam01en002400312LAW01300012REF0200000300Human 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669233.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021749.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956692400303978819566924015978819566924000BB0101The Natya Sastra of Bharata Muni1A01Narendra Jha01en002400312DRA0060000300Classical 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669240.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021749.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956692570303978819566925715978819566925700BB0101Imaging Sound An Ethnomusicological Study of Music, Art and Culture1A01Nandani Srivastava01en002400312MUS0150000300Music 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669257.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021749.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956692640303978819566926415978819566926400BB0101Child Abuse and Human Rights1A01Kumkum Narayan01en002400312FAM00101012LAW0130000300Childhood 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669264.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021749.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956692710303978819566927115978819566927100BB0101E-learning Research1A01Sanjeev Sinha01en002400312EDU03900012REF0200000300A learning system based on formalised teaching but with the help of electronic resources is known as E-learning.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669288.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20023499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956692950303978819566929515978819566929500BB0101Ragas in Indian Music1A01Nandita Kumari01en002400312MUS01500001781.2640954 2303ML345.I43K86 2022041. Raga--India. 2. Music--India--History and criticism.0300Classical 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669295.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021749.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956693010303978819566930115978819566930100BB0101Evolution of Museums and Museology1A01Keshaw Chandra01en002400312ART059000ART / Museum Studies0300A 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.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669301.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021745.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956693180303978819566931815978819566931800BB0101Encyclopedia of Folk Music (5 Vol Set)1A01Ravindra Kumar Chaudhary01en0012000312MUS0100000300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669318.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20028745.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956693250303978819566932515978819566932500BB0101Buddhism: Connexion with Brahmanism, Hinduism and Contrast with Christianity1A01Arun Kumar01en002400312REL007000RELIGION / Buddhism / General12REL032000RELIGION / Hinduism01294.3 2303BQ4055.K86 2020041.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669325.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021745.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956693320303978819566933215978819566933200BB0101Indigenous Research Methodologies1A01Basudeo Sah01en002400312REF02000012SOC02000001305.80072 2303GN380.S24 2022041. Indigenous peoples--Research--Methodology.0300Indigenous 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669332.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021745.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956693490303978819566934915978819566934900BB0101Ambedkar on caste and Untouchability1A01Himanshu Mishra01en002400312SOC031000SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination0300Ambedkar 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669349.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021745.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956693560303978819566935615978819566935600BB0101B. R. Ambedkar's Writings on Brahmanical Patriarchy1A01Sunita Mukharjee01en002400312SOC028000SOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's Studies12SOC031000SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination0300Patriarchy 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669356.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021745.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956693630303978819566936315978819566936300BB0101Rights of Scheduled tribes of India: Acts, Commissions and Recommendation1A01Ravi Kant Shukla01en002400312LAW01300012SOC031000SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination01342.540873 2303KNS2107.M56S58 2022041. India--Scheduled tribes--Legal status, laws, etc.0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669363.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021745.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956693700303978819566937015978819566937000BB0101Sanskrit Drama and Mahakavya1A01Acharya Ramcharan Mishra01en002400312DRA00600012POE00800001891.22 2303PK2931.M57 2022041. Sanskrit drama--History and criticism. 2. Epic literature, Sanskrit--History and criticism. 3. Theater--India.0300Sanskrit 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.

Buddhism—Doctrines0300The 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. This informative book contributes to our understanding of the history of Indian tantric Buddhism in a period of significant change and innovation. The book is designed to appeal not only to professional scholars and research students but also to contemporary Buddhists.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669400.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021750.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956694170303978819566941715978819566941700BB0101Ambedkar, Gandhi and Empowerment of Dalit1A01Narendra Pathak01en002400312SOC031000SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination12HIS062000HISTORY / Asia / South / India0300If 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.

Buddhist art--India. 2. Buddhist antiquities--India. 3. Buddhist civilization. 4. Signs and symbols--Religious aspects--Buddhism.0300Buddhist 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669424.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021750.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956694310303978819566943115978819566943100BB0101Research Methodology A Step-by-Step Guide1A01Nishant Chakraborty01en002400312REF02000001001.42 23031. Research--Methodology.04LCC Q180.55.M4C43 20220300Research 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669431.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021750.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956694480303978819566944815978819566944800BB0101Dramatic Concepts Greek and Indian1A01Sweta Bhardwaj01en002400312DRA0060000300Drama 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669448.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021750.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956694550303978819566945515978819566945500BB0101Indigenous Medicine and Knowledge1A01Mohan Kumar01en002400312OCC0440000300Indigenous 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669455.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021750.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956694620303978819566946215978819566946200BB0101Genesis and Role of NGOs in Protecting Human Rights1A01Md.

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.

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. This valuable book offers a variety of perspectives on the Indus Valley civilization, covering important objects recovered during recent excavations at Harappa, and recent archaeological discoveries on South Asian societies and ancient technologies. This informative book is an attempt to satisfy the interest of students and non-specialists in the early civilization of the Indus valley and adjoining regions of Pakistan and India.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669479.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021750.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956694860303978819566948615978819566948600BB0101Historical and Cultural Encyclopedia of Punjab (2 Vol set)1A01rashmi Sinha01en004800312HIS062000HISTORY / Asia / South / India0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669486.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20023500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956694930303978819566949315978819566949300BB0101The Bounteous Tree-Treasures in Indian Art and Culture1A01Anup Kumar01en002400312HIS062000HISTORY / Asia / South / India0300Art 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669493.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021750.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956696080303978819566960815978819566960800BB0101In the Shadow of Ram1A01Namratha Mogaral01en001550312REL032000RELIGION / Hinduism01DDC294.50954203BL1153.7.A96 20230300This 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669608.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002799.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97881956713590303978819567135915978819567135900BB0101Genetics of Castes and Tribes of India1A01Rameshwar Singh01en002400312SCI02900012SOC031000SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination0300India 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195671359.jpg01IN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021749.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893340281880303978933402818815978933402818800BC0101Decoding obesity1A01Rajat Trehan01en002960312MED11100001613.25 2303RM222.2.T74 2024041.

Sikkim being a melting pot of ethnic cultures as well as astounding biodiversity, provides exceptional motivation for the exploration of its ethno-herpetology. Since biological and ethnic diversity is often geography-specific, studying this in small geographical regions makes sense, as knowledge of ethno-herpetology varies extraordinarily across geographic boundaries. This book has been envisaged to capture Sikkim's immense and vibrant ethno-herpetology. It is expected to bring a new understanding of this state's rich bio-cultural heritage and provide new details and directions to researchers of ethnobiology, zoology, ecology, anthropology, human ecology, and culture. It sincerely hopes to generate greater interest in Sikkim, Ethno-herpetology, and herpetofauna.

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. The book suggests new laws and policies to promote better coordination and socio-economic transformation through infrastructure development.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789349315365.jpg01Shhalaj Publishing HouseIN04012025010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021399.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893493154190303978934931541915978934931541900BB0101Situating Identity: A Study of Select Mizo Print Culture1A01L.V.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350180242_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012011010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501802590303978935018025915978935018025900BB0101Style in Journalism1A01Dr. P.V.L.

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.

Philosophy, Hindu.0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350180358.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012008010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002220.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501803650303978935018036515978935018036500EB0101Ecological Perspectives in Buddhism1A01K C Pandey<p>Dr. K.C.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350180617_hd.jpgReadworthy Press Corporation01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012011010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002395.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501808080303978935018080815978935018080800BB0101India and Australia: Bridging Different Worlds2A01Brian Stoddart2A01Auriol Weigold<p>Auriol Weigold is a Visiting Fellow at the University of Canberra and, in 2009-10 and 2011-12, a Visiting Fellow at the Australian Prime Ministers Centre, Canberra.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350180617_hd.jpgReadworthy Press Corporation01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012011010101Shhalaj Publishing House200299.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501810720303978935018107215978935018107200EB0101Baigas: The Hunter Gatherers of Central India1A01Rajesh K.

Also it connects to the major phases of the in dependence movement in India between the late 19th century and 1947.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350180419.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012011010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021295.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501811950303978935018119515978935018119500EB0101Amartya Sen's Hindu Bash1A01V.S.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788189973087_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012008010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002170.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501812010303978935018120115978935018120100EB0101Poetics: East and West1A01Sthitaprajna<p>Sthitaprajna is presently an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Technical Education and Research, SOA University, Bhubaneswar.

These ideas seem particularly powerful in a self-consciously post colonial society like India. This book reflects the legacy of India critical theories and poetic tradition in terms of its similarity in approach to some of the prominent western literary theories. It deals with the concept of poetic language, its nature and definition as interpreted by two major theories of Sanskrit criticism—the Dhvani and the Vakrokti—and two western theories—the new criticism and the Russian Formalism.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350181423.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002195.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501814300303978935018143015978935018143000EB0101The Philosophy of Swami Rama Tirtha1A01H.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788189973933_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002149.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501815220303978935018152215978935018152200EB0101The Aga Khan and his Ancestors1A01Naoroji M.

Store location--India--Delhi. 2. City planning--India--Delhi.0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350181560.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012010010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002950.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501815770303978935018157715978935018157700BB0101Ethno-Ornithology of Lepchas of Sikkim2A01Vanya Jha<p>Vanya Jha is currently pursuing her B Tech in Computer Science &amp; Engineering at Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789380009216.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002950.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501816140303978935018161415978935018161400EB0101Ragacikitsa - (Music Therapy)1A01Suvarna Nalapat<p>Dr. Suvarna Nalapat, an MD in pathology, has a vast experience of 32 years of teaching undergraduate and postgraduate classes.

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.

Australia--Emigration and immigration.0300Migration 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350182796.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012013010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021395.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501828330303978935018283315978935018283300EB0101Government and private Education in the North-East India1A01Lalnuntluangi<p>Dr. Lalnuntluangi is currently serving as joint Director, QAC-cum-CDO in the Directorate of Higher and Technical Education Mizoram.

India--Foreign relations--Australia--Congresses. 2. Australia--Foreign relations--India--Congresses.0300Public 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350183489_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012013010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002895.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501834960303978935018349615978935018349600BC0101Folk Tales for Young Folk1A01Sethu Ramaswamy01en00800312JUV022000JUVENILE FICTION / Legends, Myths, Fables / General041.

Asia--Study and teaching--Australia. 2. Asians--Race identity--Australia. 3. Asia--Relations--Australia. 4. Australia-- Relations--Asia.0300Over 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. With the recent publication of a government White Paper on Australia in the Asian Century there is a new determination to persuade Australians that “rising Asia,” turbulent though it may be, is an opportunity for Australia more than it is a threat.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350183533_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012013010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002995.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893501835400303978935018354015978935018354000BB0101Political Philosophy1A01Sivakumar Elambooranan01en001070312PHI019000041.

Store location--India--Delhi. 2. City planning--India--Delhi.0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789380009193.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012010010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002950.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893800092090303978938000920915978938000920900BB0101Red Peacocks : Commentaries on Burmese Socialist Nationalism2A01John H.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350181621_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002950.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893800092160303978938000921615978938000921600BB0101Religious Beliefs, Superstitions and Wittgenstein1A01K.C.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789380009216.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002950.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893800092230303978938000922315978938000922300BC0101Quiz Book1A01Shashank Sharma<p>Shashank Sharma is a young bright scholar from Delhi.

It offers invaluable instructions regarding how to behave in the society-from dress code to dating etiquettes, from greeting capsules to kissing etiquettes, from ballroom etiquettes to the etiquettes of travelling, and much more. Read the book and explore the delightful world of gentlemanly etiquettes.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789380297064_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002290.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893802974460303978938029744615978938029744600EB0101Modern Etiquettes for Girls1A01Margaret Frankl<p>Margaret Frankl, a trained journalist, has been working in the field of life-style and behavioural development for over twenty years.

Girls--Conduct of life.0300Etiquette has always meant good manners and courtesy. But for a girl like you it means even more. It could be defined as intuition, empathy, thoughtfulness, self-confidence and poise. It is knowing what to do with your male roommate when your mother comes to visit, or knowing how to defend yourself against men who want you more than you want them. It is knowing when to honour traditional rules and when to ignore them. Etiquette can never be a static style of behaviour. It evolves, always. But many people just do not acknowledge the changes. Nobody tells you how to keep pace with the changes. This book does. It presents correct procedures for the formal ceremonies of life, etiquette of living with a man, how to survive infidelity, what to do when you get pregnant but did not mean to, guidelines for office romance, art of looking beautiful, how to make friends, and much more.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788190773409_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012009010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002290.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893802974530303978938029745315978938029745300EB0101The Quality of Leadership1A01Michael Hansbury<p>Michael Hansbury, a Ph.D. in behavioural science, has been working in the field of human functioning and self-improvement for over twenty-five years.

She was born into a political family - her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was Pakistan's Prime Minister from 1973-77, and was deposed, imprisoned, and finally executed after a military coup. Benazir was imprisoned repeatedly before leaving for exile in London. She began to take interest in the political activities of her father's party - Pakistan people's Party (PPP), and returned to Pakistan in 1986. And in 1988, she was elected Prime Minister. For the next decade she was one of the most prominent women leaders in the world, and was seen in particular as a symbol of progress in women's rights. Bhutto was again forced into exile in 1999 and came back to Pakistan in October 2007 to lead her party in upcoming national elections. This book provides deep insights into the life and achievements of Benazir Bhutto. Going deep into her family background, her early childhood and education, it describes how her father was hanged and how she entered politics.

The people have sent the Bharatiya Janata Party packing and rejecting its politics of exclusion. The verdict has also given a drubbing of historic proportions to both the Left front and the Third front. This set of five volumes attempts to map the political context of this election for different parties or their coalitions. Taking a close look at the surprise element of the verdict—the Congress crossing the mark of 200 seats and the UPA coming to majority—it tries to investigate why the people rejected the BJP, the Communist parties and the Third front. It further analyzes to what extent the caste, leadership, candidate selection and regional issues influenced the people’s verdict.

Dalits--India--Religion. 3. India--Religion. 4. Religions.0300Just 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. This is an important guide for all those interested in Dalit and Ambedkar Studies.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195669226.jpgInnovative Imprint01Innovative ImprintIN04012023010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002439.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893803020410303978938030204115978938030204100BB0101Poetics: East and West1A01Sthitaprajna<p>Sthitaprajna is presently an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Technical Education and Research, SOA University, Bhubaneswar.

These ideas seem particularly powerful in a self-consciously post colonial society like India. This book reflects the legacy of India critical theories and poetic tradition in terms of its similarity in approach to some of the prominent western literary theories. It deals with the concept of poetic language, its nature and definition as interpreted by two major theories of Sanskrit criticism—the Dhvani and the Vakrokti—and two western theories—the new criticism and the Russian Formalism. It studies the Indian and the western theories independently and enquires whatever there are points of convergence between them.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350181201_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012010010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002550.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893803021400303978938030214015978938030214000BC0101What's your Anger Type?1A01Peter Andrew Sacco01en001650312SEL033000SELF-HELP / Anger Management041.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789350182796.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012021041601Shhalaj Publishing House2002349.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893815111380303978938151113815978938151113800EB0101Fiction Classics - Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse1A01Anna Sewell<p>Anna Sewell was an English novelist.

Now as the world is getting technologically and industrially more advanced, resulting in the setting up of huge factories, the environmental pollution is heading towards alarming levels. It is obvious that more factories mean more pollution and more carbon emissions, which highly aggravate global warming. Keeping this in view, the policy makers from all over the w¬orld have decided to unite and chalk out a plan to keep the adverse effects of global warming within safety limits.

Short stories,0300What 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'.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788192922065.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012013010101Shhalaj Publishing House2002299.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893823630570303978938236305715978938236305700BC0101The Seduction and Betrayal of Cat Whiskers1A01Manju Jaidka<div class=\"ck-content stickystyles-wrapper-insert\" style=\"font-family:Segoe UI;font-size:11pt;\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wrapper=\"true\">Manju Jaidka is a Professor at the Department of English and Cultural Studies, Panjab University, Chandigarh.

India--Social life and customs. 2. India--Civilization. 3. Architecture, Ancient--India0300Ancient India Culture began with one of the first human civilizations, thousands of years ago! It’s true; the ancient culture of India developed rituals, traditions, celebrations and beliefs that are popular in India Culture today. Not all Indian people share the same beliefs, and many different religions are practiced in India, but the fundamental cultural valuesare similar throughout the different states and union territories of India. The ancient Culture of India began more than 5,000 years ago with the Indus Valley Civilizations. The Indus Valley Civilizations of ancient India culture were named as such because they all began along, or near, the Indus River. There were several groups of native people in the Indus River Civilization, the most famous civilization is the Harappan Civilization. The Harappan people lived and flourished around the Indus River, in the western region of South Asia more than 5,000 years ago in what are modern day India and Pakistan. Times have certainly changed since then! This book is a comprehensive, intelligible and interesting portrait of Ancient Indian History and Civilization. This book will be useful to all those interested in ancient cultural history, India, archaeo-astronomy, or spirituality will find this well-researched and cross-cultural work spellbinding and enriching.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121002.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881210190303978938812101915978938812101900BB0101Art and Crafts of Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh: Land, People, Culture1A01Renu Sinha01en002400312MUS023000MUSIC / Musical Instruments / General01745.509546 2303TT104.J35S56 2018041.

Title.0300The splendid work of art and craft in Jammu and Kashmir makes it famous all over the world. Some kind of elegant art work is present almost in everything in Jammu and Kashmir, be it embroidery on the shawls, papier-mache and steel ware and wood work. The villages of Anantnag and Srinagar have been quite famous for enhancing the beauty of arts and craft of Jammu and Kashmir. They are world famous for carpets and wooden furniture. Along with it, the antique items include Shahtoosh Shawls and Pashmina shawls. Crewel ware, brass and silver ware are other interesting articles. Carpets from Kashmir are made of wool and even silk, are available in a large number of variety. The typical Kashmiri embroidery is known as Kasida and is famous all over the world. It is very exquisite in its execution and is very rich and elaborate in colour. Quite interestingly, this embroidery, which is often done on saris and shawls, does not have a wrong side to it. The fleecy wool obtained from the Kel goat is used for making the Pashmina Shawls in Kashmir. They are very famous, even at the international levels, and are locally called as ‘ring shawls.’ This is because they are so delicate and elegant, that they can easily pass from a ring, itself.  A high value and elegant shawl has designs and motifs, equally embellished on both the sides. This book gives a comprehensive study providing wealth of information related to Jammu-Kashmir and its Cultural heritage.

Museums—Asia—History. 2. Museum techniques—Asia—History.0300Asia is not one place. The ideas and ideals that we call Asian are countless and diverse. Some of our artworks are ancient. Others are contemporary. Artistic and educational programs empower visitors to discover the relevance of great artworks in personal ways. Developments in Asian art historically parallel those in Western art, in general a few centuries earlier. Chinese art, Indian art, Korean art, Japanese art, each had significant influence on Western art, and, vice versa. The East-Asian Art Collection presents a sweeping overview of the art of China, Japan, and Korea, each displayed in their own galleries and a study collection. Asian countries today have developed or are developing their own museology and museums, which are not simple copies of European or North American models. This book provides readers with carefully chosen examples of museum activities. The present book focuses on the ways in which these institutions have been addressing the subject at a regional, national and international level. This important book will contribute to the developing body of literature that academics, professionals, policy makers and students.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121026.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881210330303978938812103315978938812103300BB0101Encyclopaedia of Indian Culture (5 Vol. Set)1A01Anuradha Jaiswal01en002400312REF010000REFERENCE / Encyclopedias01954 2303DS423.J35 2018041. India—Civilization.0300The 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. Students of History, sociology, political science will find it useful in their study.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121033.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20027500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881210950303978938812109515978938812109500BB0101Introduction to Museology1A01Md. Jafar Imam01en002400312MUS000000MUSIC / General01069.5 2303AM5.I43 2018041. Museum techniques.0300Museology 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121095.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881211010303978938812110115978938812110100BB0101Living Traditions in Indian Art1A01Madhu Rani01en002400312ART020000ART / Techniques / Painting01790.20954 2303NX576.M33 2018041. Performing arts—India—History. 2. Painting, Indic.0300Indian 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121101.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881211180303978938812111815978938812111800BB0101Medieval Art and Culture1A01Tarun Kumar01en002400312ART015070ART / History / Medieval01709.54 2303N7302.K86 2018041.

India—Civilization.0300The 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. This book will be indispensable reading for everyone interested in medieval art and culture.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121118_hd.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881211250303978938812112515978938812112500BB0101Museums, Museology and New Museology1A01Shahida Munsuri01en002400312ART059000ART / Museum Studies01069 2303AM111.M86 2018041. Museums. 2. Museum techniques.0300Museology 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. This book is highly recommended to readers who seek a global vision of museum studies.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121125.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881211320303978938812113215978938812113200BB0101Religion, State, and Society in Medieval India1A01Manika Raj Priya01en002400312REL084000RELIGION / Religion, Politics & State01306.60954 2303BL2015.S6R45 2018041.

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. Besides this Saivite development there was in South India at that time a devotional school of Vaishnavism whose saints were known as Alvars. Kabir was a Mohammedan weaver who early in his life came under the influence of Hindu mysticism. The two movements brought a new form of religious expression amongst Muslims and Hindus.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121149.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881211560303978938812115615978938812115600BB0101Theory and Practice in the Art Museum1A01Anoop Kumar Singh01en002400312ART059000ART / Museum Studies01708 2303N410.S56 2018041. Art museums. 2. Cultural property.0300An 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121156.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881211630303978938812116315978938812116300BB0101Tribal CultureChange and Mobility1A01Chandra Bhushan Mishra01en002400312HIS054000HISTORY / Social History01305.800954 2303GN635.I4M57 2018041.

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.

Painting—History.0300Art 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. This book is an excellent resource guide for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about global arts and architectures.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121170.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881211870303978938812118715978938812118700BB0101Ambedkar, Gandhi and Patel: Great Leaders of India1A01Mahesh Chandra MishraMahesh Chandra Mishra, b. 1983 a qualified teacher teaching Political Science at J.D.

India--History. 2. India--Antiquities. 3. Art, Indic.0300Academic 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.

Yoga.0300Patanjali'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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121231_hd.jpg01IN04012019010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021550.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881212480303978938812124815978938812124800BB0101Village Development PlanningImproving and Inspiring1A01R.N.

Yoga.0300Yoga 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121293_hd.jpg01IN04012019010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021550.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881213090303978938812130915978938812130900BB0101Yoga for Maintaining Mental Health1A01Mahesh Chandra MishraMahesh Chandra Mishra, b. 1983 a qualified teacher teaching Political Science at J.D.

Mental health.0300Yoga 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121309_v2.jpg01IN04012019010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021550.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881213160303978938812131615978938812131600BB0101Yoga TherapyAttitude of Educational Training1A01R.N.

Meditation.0300This 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121323_hd.jpg01IN04012019010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021550.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881213300303978938812133015978938812133000BB0101Mental Health and Yoga1A01D.C.

Religion and culture--India.0300Comparative Study of the Religions and Culture under is the fruit of many years of patient and painstaking work. The author has tried to bring out the unity in all religions. The encyclopaedia is a valuable contribution to the literature of comparative religion and represents a noteworthy attempt at a study of all religions in a sympathetic spirit. In our discussion on the relatedness of culture to religion, we should state it clearly that the approach in this conversation is not emphasising cultural materialism, although it must be recognised that cultural materialism might at some stage in the discussion play a role. My focus is much more concerned with an understanding of culture in terms of sociocultural systems. The Indian cultural tradition is unique. The notions of dharma (normative order), karma (personal moral commitment] and jati (caste) as the hierarchical principles of social stratification are basic to Indian culture. Although many scholars have worked on the history of oriental religion-philosophical tradition, but no such complete and comprehensive work on this subject is available to us. Keeping this in mind, were are planning to publish this book Philosophy and Religion. The concentration will be on Hinduism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Buddhism, Islam, and Sikhism and on other minor oriental religion and philosophy. In India, philosophy and religion are linked intimately, inseparably. The entire mass of information and knowledge has been painstakingly researched, written and edited with the anthropological point of view, that makes this encyclopaedia all the more valuable for purpose of scholars in different disciplines, social scientists, teachers and students.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121361.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012019010101Shhalaj Publishing House20026500.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881213780303978938812137815978938812137800BB0101Returns & volatility of sectoral indices of Nifty : pre and post recession1A01T.

India--Social life and customs.0300Adivasis is the collective name used for the many indigenous peoples of India. The term Adivasi derives from the Hindi word ‘adi’ which means of earliest times or from the beginning and ‘vasi’ meaning inhabitant or resident, and it was coined in the 1930s, largely a consequence of a political movement to forge a sense of identity among the various indigenous peoples of India. Officially Adivasis are termed scheduled tribes, but this is a legal and constitutional term, which differs from state to state and area to area, and therefore excludes some groups who might be considered indigenous. 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 and a minority group of the Sri Lankan society called Vedda. The same term Adivasi is used for the ethnic minorities of Bangladesh and the native Tharu people of Nepal. Adivasi traditions and practices pervade all aspects of Indian culture and civilization, yet this awareness is often lacking in popular consciousness, and the extent and import of Adivasi contributions to Indian philosophy, language and custom have often gone unrecognized, or been underrated by historians and social scientists. Culture and traditions are often the products of the place of residence. India, with its wide geographical diversity, has given birth to many different cultures. The geographical and climatic conditions of Gondwana (the area of central India where Gond Tribes are found), Bhilanchal and northeastern states are so different that a difference in lifestyle and food is inevitable. This also reflects in their oral literature. It was because of favourable conditions that the development of Gond philosophy and empire was possible and Gondi language and literature could flourish.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121224.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881217290303978938812172915978938812172900EB0101Ambedkar and Abolition of Caste System1A01M.N.

India--Social conditions.0300Dr. Ambedkar was emancipator of the ‘untouchables’ and crusader for social justice. This liberator of the down trodden was affectionately called “Babasaheb”. He was sthumously awarded ‘Bharat Ratna’ in the year 1990. Ambedkar was a great champion of the dalit cause because he succeeded in turning the depressed class movement into a revolutionary movement throughout India. There are occupational, religious etc., castes, it is true, but it is by no means an explanation of the origin of Caste. We have yet to find out why occupational groups are castes; but this question has never even been raised. Lastly they have taken Caste very lightly as though a breath had made it. The central aim therefore is not limited to social upliftment of the Harijans, but economic emancipation of the poor by eliminating all forms of exploitation through capacity building among the target population and conscientisation of the masses with the help of basic education and self-employment. Untouchability has played an important role in Indian history and still affects many millions of Indians. The Untouchables focuses on its connections with poverty and state politics, with a primarily political and historical focus, but also looks at its social construction and effects on the lives of individuals. The book, which provides a rare opportunity to debate and discuss the contribution of Dr. Ambedkar in nation-building, will be great interest to all sections of people.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162609_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881217360303978938812173615978938812173600EB0101Ambedkar and Dalit Movement1A01Sanjeev Anand01en002400312SOC031000SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination01954.035 2303DS480.45.A53 2018041.

India--Politics and government--20th century0300Ambedkar 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 195601000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162272.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881217430303978938812174315978938812174300EB0101Ambedkar and Indian Constitution1A01Usha Kiran01en002400312LAW018000LAW / Constitutional01342.54 2303KNS1744.5195.A5K57 2018041.

(Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-19560300Upon 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162289.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881217500303978938812175015978938812175000EB0101Ambedkar and Problems of Scheduled Castes1A01B.K.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121750.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881217670303978938812176715978938812176700EB0101Ambedkar and Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in India1A01Prabhat Kumar01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01954.035 2303DS481.A1K86 2018041.

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.

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.

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.

Gandhi, Mahatma, 1869-1948. 3. Patel, Vallabhbhai, 1875-1950. 4. India--Politics and government. 5. India--History.0300Ambedkar was one of the most prominent political figures of his time. He was critical of mainstream Indian Political parties for their lack of emphasis for elimination of the caste system. He accused Gandhi for reducing the untouchable community to a figure of pathos. At a depressed classes conference on August 8, 1930 Ambedkar outlined his political vision insisting that the safety of the depressed classes hinged on their being Independent of Government and the Congress. Gandhi's, deepest strivings were spiritual, but he did not-as had been the custom in his country-retire to a cave in the Himalayas to seek his salvation. He carried his cave within him. He did not know, he said, any religion apart from human activity; the spiritual law did not work in a vacuum, but expressed itself through the ordinary activities of life. This aspiration to relate the spirit-not the forms-of religion to the problems of everyday life runs like a thread through Gandhi's career; his uneventful childhood, the slow unfolding and the near-failure of his youth, reluctant plunge into the politics of Natal, the long, unequal struggle in South Africa, and the vicissitudes of the Indian struggle for freedom, which under his leadership was to culminate in a triumph not untinged with tragedy. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel started his Law practice in Godhra. Soon his practice flourished. He got married to Jhaberaba. In 1904, he got a baby daughter Maniben, and in 1905 his son Dahyabhai was born. Vallabhbhai sent his elder brother Vitthalbhai, who himself was a lawyer, to England for higher studies in Law. Patel was only thirty-three years old when his wife died. He did not wish to marry again. This book provides deep insight to various dimensions of issues relating to the subject.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121187.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881218040303978938812180415978938812180400EB0101Ambedkar, Indian Constitution and Making of Indian Republic1A01Neelam Pandey01en002400312LAW018000LAW / Constitutional01342.54029 2303KNS1760.P36 2018041. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-1956. 2. Constitutional history—India0300When 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121804.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881218110303978938812181115978938812181100EB0101Ambedkar’s Fight against Untouchability1A01R.C.

Dalits--India. 4. India--Social conditions.0300By 1927 Dr. Ambedkar decided to launch active movements against untouchability. He began with public movements and marches to open up and share public drinking water resources, also he began a struggle for the right to enter Hindu temples. He led a satyagraha in Mahad to fight for the right of the untouchable community to draw water from the main water tank of the town. He was appointed to the Bombay Presidency Committee to work with the all-European Simon Commission in 1928. This commission had sparked great protests across India, and while its report was ignored by most Indians, Ambedkar himself wrote a separate set of recommendations for future constitutional reforms. The Untouchability Act of 1955 was intended to wipe out untouchability and the social disabilities arising out of it, by making its practice in any form punishable under law. But, the total number of cases registered with the police from 1955 to 1970 were only 6778 for the country as a whole, with only 1779 or 26 per cent of them ending up in conviction. As this act proved to be too weak and inadequate to meet the constitutional requirement, in November 1976 it was amended and amplified as the Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955, with the resolve to totally eradicate untouchability within five years of its implementation. But, even this act has not fared any better. Data on PCR cases indicate the persistence of untouch-ability in virtually all the states. This is especially so in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and sadly enough, even in Ambedkar’s home state Maharashtra. The only state reported to be relatively free from untouchability is West Bengal. The book in your hand is the book with a difference. It comprises almost the entire concept of the views of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar on caste on untouchability. The way of expression, simple language and depths certainly add the glory to the book.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788194216902_hd.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881218280303978938812182815978938812182800EB0101Ancient Indian Culture and Civilization1A01Raman Singh01en002400312HIS002000HISTORY / Ancient / General01954 2303DS421.S56 2018041.

It’s true; the ancient culture of India developed rituals, traditions, celebrations and beliefs that are popular in India Culture today. Not all Indian people share the same beliefs, and many different religions are practiced in India, but the fundamental cultural valuesare similar throughout the different states and union territories of India. The ancient Culture of India began more than 5,000 years ago with the Indus Valley Civilizations. The Indus Valley Civilizations of ancient India culture were named as such because they all began along, or near, the Indus River. There were several groups of native people in the Indus River Civilization, the most famous civilization is the Harappan Civilization. The Harappan people lived and flourished around the Indus River, in the western region of South Asia more than 5,000 years ago in what are modern day India and Pakistan. Times have certainly changed since then!

Some kind of elegant art work is present almost in everything in Jammu and Kashmir, be it embroidery on the shawls, papier-mache and steel ware and wood work. The villages of Anantnag and Srinagar have been quite famous for enhancing the beauty of arts and craft of Jammu and Kashmir. They are world famous for carpets and wooden furniture. Along with it, the antique items include Shahtoosh Shawls and Pashmina shawls. Crewel ware, brass and silver ware are other interesting articles. Carpets from Kashmir are made of wool and even silk, are available in a large number of variety. The typical Kashmiri embroidery is known as Kasida and is famous all over the world. It is very exquisite in its execution and is very rich and elaborate in colour. Quite interestingly, this embroidery, which is often done on saris and shawls, does not have a wrong side to it. The fleecy wool obtained from the Kel goat is used for making the Pashmina Shawls in Kashmir. They are very famous, even at the international levels, and are locally called as ‘ring shawls.’ This is because they are so delicate and elegant, that they can easily pass from a ring, itself.  A high value and elegant shawl has designs and motifs, equally embellished on both the sides. This book gives a comprehensive study providing wealth of information related to Jammu-Kashmir and its Cultural heritage.

India--History. 2. India--Antiquities. 3. Art, Indic.0300Academic 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.

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. This book is an endeavour in providing students with sound information on Islamic art and architecture.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162685.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881218660303978938812186615978938812186600EB0101Asian Museums and Museology1A01Sanjay Kumar01en002400312MUS000000MUSIC / General01069.095 2303AM71.K86 2018041.

Others are contemporary. Artistic and educational programs empower visitors to discover the relevance of great artworks in personal ways. Developments in Asian art historically parallel those in Western art, in general a few centuries earlier. Chinese art, Indian art, Korean art, Japanese art, each had significant influence on Western art, and, vice versa. The East-Asian Art Collection presents a sweeping overview of the art of China, Japan, and Korea, each displayed in their own galleries and a study collection. Asian countries today have developed or are developing their own museology and museums, which are not simple copies of European or North American models. This book provides readers with carefully chosen examples of museum activities. The present book focuses on the ways in which these institutions have been addressing the subject at a regional, national and international level.

Buddhism--Southeast Asia--History.0300Buddhism in Southeast Asia includes a variety of traditions of Buddhism including two main traditions: Mahayana Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism. Historically, Mahayana Buddhism had a prominent position in this region, but in modern times most countries follow the Theravada tradition. Southeast Asian countries with a Theravada Buddhist majority are Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar. Buddhism reached Southeast Asia both directly over sea from India and indirectly from Central Asia and China in a process that spanned most of the first millennium CE. In the early centuries of the Common Era, the people in various parts of Southeast Asia came to know of Buddhism as a result of increased contact with the Indian merchants who had come to the region to trade. These merchants not only established trading stations in Southeast Asia, but also brought their religions and cultures with them. Under their influence, the local people began to practise a mixture of Buddhism and Hinduism, while retaining at the same time many of their old beliefs and customs. In this book is presented for the first time a comprehensive survey of the Buddhist influence on Asian culture and civilization.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162715.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881218970303978938812189715978938812189700EB0101Compendium of Ancient Culture(4 Volume Set)1A01Suresh ChandraDr. Suresh Chandra, a highly qualified person obtained his all higher qualifications M.A. Ph.D. from Allahabad University in Political Science.

Civilization, Ancient.0300This encyclopaedic study of four volumes have deep bearing and historic significance in the annals of Indian civilisation, epics and the successive expansion of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Mauryan and Gupta Empires The History of India begins with the Indus Valley Civilization and the coming of the Aryans. These two phases are generally described as the pre-Vedic and Vedic periods. The earliest literary source that sheds light on India's past is the Rig Veda. It is difficult to date this work with any accuracy on the basis of tradition and ambiguous astronomical information contained in the hymns. It is most likely that Rig Veda was composed between 1,500 B.C. and 1,000 B.C. In the fifth century, large parts of India were united under Ashoka. Early nomadic hunter-gatherers lived off the land and had a minimal effect on the environment around them. Around 10,000 years ago people started to settle down and developed agriculture possibly in response to a warming climate. The origin of agriculture is often referred to as the Neolithic Revolution. Keep in mind that different societies domesticated plants and animals, and consequently agriculture, independently i.e. Mesopotamia, Nile River Valley, Ancient China. These farmers had to overcome obstacles such as dry land with technologies like large scale irrigation. These large agricultural byproducts, irrigation, had a large impact on the environment. Pastoralism, the branch of agriculture concerned with raising livestock, developed in Afro-Eurasian grassland, negatively affecting the environment when pastures were overgrazed. The encyclopaedia, thus, should be of interest to serious scholars of archaeology as well as general readers who are keen on authentic history of technology in ancient culture.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121897.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881219030303978938812190315978938812190300EB0101Constructing the Criminal Tribe in Colonial India1A01Raghwendra Kishore01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01305.800954 2303GN635.I4K57 2018041.

It includes Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura states. North east is connected to the rest of the country by a narrow stretch of land between Bhutan and Bangladesh, and surrounded by extremely sensitive frontier with Chinese-occupied Tibet and a 1600 km long border with Myanmar. The Northeastern part of the country is not very different in this regard. If not the rigid social prejudices are prominent in those states like other North Indian states, but the ongoing political movements (armed or non-violent) have a deep impact on the education scenario of the region. However, amid all these, ambitious programmes like Sarba Siksha Abhiyan and Mid-day meal have been a ray of hope. Culture predetermines man’s biological and social responses to a given situation. It pervades man’s total life span and his immediate surrounding. The world population falls under one biological category.

He was an iconoclast and therefore should inspire us to break such icons that are imbued with this outlook. Dalits have to demolish all the handiwork of the reactionaries and vested interests. The project of redefinition of Ambedkar should liberate him from the dens of the ruling class and bring him back to the huts in slums and villages where he rightly belongs. The greatest thing about Ambedkar is his consistent anti-dogmatic stance. He never accepted any thing in name of authority. He hated humbug of every kind. He always approached problems with a student’s sincerity and researcher’s intellectual honesty. He gave a vision that even the ideologies are bound by the tenet of impermanence and no body should claim them validity beyond their times. His followers therefore can assume absolute liberty to think through things as per their own experience in changing times.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121941.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881219650303978938812196515978938812196500EB0101Development Processes and the Scheduled Castes1A01Sanjeev Raman01en002400312BUS068000BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development01305.56880954 2303DS422.C3R36 2018041. Dalits—Government policy—India. 2. Rural development—India.0300In 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121965.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881219890303978938812198915978938812198900EB0101Dimensions of Urban PovertyPlanning and Alleviation1A01C.D.

It indicates a condition in which a person fails to maintain a living standard adequate for his physical and mental efficiency. It is a situation people want to escape. It gives rise to a feeling of a discrepancy between what one has and what one should have. The term poverty is a relative concept. It is very difficult to draw a demarcation line between affluence and poverty. According to Adam Smith-Man is rich or poor according to the degree in which he can afford to enjoy the necessaries, the conveniences and the amusements of human life. Dimensions of Rural poverty in India is an important contribution to the development literature and should be read by anyone interested in exploring the causes of and solutions to poverty in rural areas. This book investigates the relationships between rural poverty and development in India. It summarizes the contributions of recent theoretical and empirical work to our understanding of how risk affects rural poverty levels in India. In particular the book examines what we do and do not know about risk coping strategies among today’s poor rural societies. This book covers the ways in which these strategies may be re-examined and improved by governments and international organisations are proposed. This book’s clear, authoritative chapters describe the declining opportunities available in rural areas including the social, agricultural, dairy development project, trends in poverty and rural poverty eradication.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388121989.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881219960303978938812199615978938812199600EB0101Dr. Ambedkar, Caste System and Untouchability1A01Anoop Kumar Singh01en002400312HIS054000HISTORY / Social History01305.56880954 2303DS422.C3S56 2018041.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162364.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012026100801Shhalaj Publishing House2002449.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881620050303978938816200515978938816200500BB0101Children and Human Rights: From Visions to Implementations1A01Anuja Ameri01en002400312POL035010POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights01323.352 2303HQ789.A44 2018041. Children’s rights—India. 2. Children’s rights.0300Children’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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162005.jpg01IN04012022010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021649.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881620120303978938816201215978938816201200BB0101Constructing the Criminal Tribe in Colonial India1A01Raghwendra Kishore01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01305.800954 2303GN635.I4K57 2018041.

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.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162036.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881620430303978938816204315978938816204300BB0101Environmental Protection and Human Rights1A01Alka Sharma01en002400312POL035010POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights01323 2303JC571.S53 2018041. Human rights—Environmental aspects. 2. Environmental Law. 3. Environmental protection.4. International trade—Environmental aspects0300Man 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162043.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881620500303978938816205015978938816205000BB0101Ethnic Identity, Ethnicity and Social Structure in Indian Tribes1A01Neelam Kumari01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01305.800954 2303GN635.I4K86 2018041. Tribes—India. 2. Ethnicity—India. 3. Social structure—India.0300Perhaps 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162050_hd.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881620670303978938816206715978938816206700BB0101Legacy of Dr. B.R.

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.

Tribes—India. 2. Adivasis.0300Adivasi 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162074.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881620810303978938816208115978938816208100BB0101Globalization and Human Rights1A01Sadhana ThakurDr. Sadhana Thakur did her M.A. (1991) and Ph.

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.

Social movements—India.0300Human 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162098.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881621040303978938816210415978938816210400BB0101Human Rights for the Physically Handicapped and Aged1A01Amit Kumar01en002400312POL035010POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights01342.087 2303K637.K86 2018041.

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.

Human rights. 2. Power (Social sciences) 3. Social change.0300In 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162111.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881621280303978938816212815978938816212800BB0101Identity, Gender and Poverty in Indian Tribes: New Perspectives1A01Purnima Singh01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01305.800954 2303GN635.I4S56 2018041. Tribes—India—Economic conditions. 2. Poverty—India. 3.Tribes—Government policy—India. 4. Economic development—India.0300Scheduled 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162128.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881621350303978938816213515978938816213500BB0101Indian Folk and Tribal Art1A01Anup Kumar01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01745.0954 2303NK1047.B43 2018041.

Ethnic art—India, Northeastern.0300India 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.

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.

India—Scheduled tribes—Social life and customs. 2. Customary law—India0300People 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162159.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881621660303978938816216615978938816216600BB0101Social Justice and Human Rights1A01Md.

Human rights0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162166.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881621730303978938816217315978938816217300BB0101Social Problems: A Human Rights Perspective1A01Henna Tabassum01en002400312POL035010POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights01323 2303K3240.T33 2018041.

Social problems.0300A 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.

Social service—India. 2. Social justice—India. 3. Human rights—India. 4. India—Social policy.0300Social 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 present book is an effort to help scholars, activists, and practitioners promote a human rights culture and the overall well-being of populations across the globe.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162180.jpg01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881621970303978938816219715978938816219700BB0101The Cultural Heritage of Tribal Societies in India1A01Gajanafar Alam01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01305.800954 2303GN635.I4A43 2018041. Tribes—India—Social life and customs. 2. India — Scheduled tribes—Social life and customs.0300India has traditionally been the home of different cultures and people. Unity in diversity is one of the most prominent features in the people of India. Among the diversified population a significant portion is comprised of the tribal people, the original inhabitants of the land. 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162197.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881622030303978938816220315978938816220300BB0101The Protection of Minorities and Human Rights1A01Afroze Eqbal01en002400312POL035010POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights01342.087 2303K3242.E63 2018041. Minorities—Civil rights. 2. Minorities—Civil rights—India.3. Human rights0300A 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. Graduate Law Students, Theologians, political and social scientists, legal scholars, and human rights professionals will find this book useful in their collection.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162203.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881622100303978938816221015978938816221000BB0101Tribal Demography and Development in North-east India1A01Bindeshwar Prasad Mandal01en002400312BUS068000BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development01305.8009541 2303GN635.I4M36 2018041. India, Northeastern—Scheduled tribes. 2. India, Northeastern—Scheduled tribes—Population.0300Of 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. This book is design for graduate courses in social studies and social work.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162210.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881622270303978938816222715978938816222700BB0101Tribal Development in India : Myth and Reality1A01Ravi Shankar Kr.

Tribes—Legal status, laws, etc.—India.0300Tribes 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. This book will be an essential reading for all those related to tribal studies and tribal Development.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162227.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881622340303978938816223415978938816223400BB0101Tribal Health, Nutrition and Medicines1A01Anup Kumar Bharti01en002400312HEA025000HEALTH & FITNESS / Yoga01305.800954 2303GN635.I4B43 2018041. Tribes—Health and hygiene—India. 2. Tribes—Nutrition— India. 3. Traditional medicine—India. 4. Tribes—Medical care— India.0300Tribal 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162234.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881622410303978938816224115978938816224100BB0101Tribal Life and Forests1A01Prabhat Kumar01en002400312NAT000000NATURE / General01305.80954 2303GN635.I4K86 2018041.

Forests and forestry—Social aspects—India.0300The 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. Also Policy maker find the book helpful in their work.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162241_hd.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881622580303978938816225815978938816225800BB0101Women Rights and Religious Laws1A01Prem LataDr. Prem Lata is Senior Lecturer and Head of Department of Sociology at Dau Dayal Mahila (PG) College, Firozabad, UP.

Women’s rights—Religious aspects—Islam. 2. Women (Islamic law)—India.0300Women’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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162258.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881622650303978938816226515978938816226500BB0101Women, Gender and Human Rights1A01Sadhana ThakurDr. Sadhana Thakur did her M.A. (1991) and Ph.

Women’s rights. 2. Sex discrimination against women— Law and legislation.0300Gender 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162265.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881622720303978938816227215978938816227200BB0101Ambedkar and Dalit Movement1A01Sanjeev Anand01en002400312SOC031000SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination01954.035 2303DS480.45.A53 2018041.

India--Politics and government--20th century0300Ambedkar 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.

(Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-19560300Upon 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162289.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881622960303978938816229615978938816229600BB0101Ambedkar and Problems of Scheduled Castes1A01B.K.

Dalits—Government policy—India.0300Traditionally, 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162296.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881623020303978938816230215978938816230200BB0101Ambedkar and Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in India1A01Prabhat Kumar01en002400312REL029000RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal01954.035 2303DS481.A1K86 2018041.

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.

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.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162326.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881623330303978938816233315978938816233300BB0101Ambedkar, Indian Constitution and Making of Indian Republic1A01Neelam Pandey01en002400312LAW018000LAW / Constitutional01342.54029 2303KNS1760.P36 2018041. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-1956. 2. Constitutional history—India0300When 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162333.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881623400303978938816234015978938816234000BB0101Dalits and the Democratic Revolution : Role of B.R.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162340.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881623570303978938816235715978938816235700BB0101Development Processes and the Scheduled Castes1A01Sanjeev Raman01en002400312BUS068000BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development01305.56880954 2303DS422.C3R36 2018041. Dalits—Government policy—India. 2. Rural development—India.0300In 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162357.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881623640303978938816236415978938816236400BB0101Dr. Ambedkar, Caste System and Untouchability1A01Anoop Kumar Singh01en002400312HIS054000HISTORY / Social History01305.56880954 2303DS422.C3S56 2018041.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162364.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881623710303978938816237115978938816237100BB0101Dr. Ambedkar’s Critical Analysis of Indian History1A01Haridwar Singh01en002400312HIS054000HISTORY / Social History01954 2303DS436.S56 2018041. Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-1956. 2. India—History. 3. Muslims—Political actiity—India. 4. India—History—Partition, 1947.0300Much 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162371.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881623880303978938816238815978938816238800BB0101Dr. B.R.

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.

Integrated Rural Development Programme (India). 2.Rural development—Government policy—India0300After 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162401.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881624180303978938816241815978938816241800BB0101Interlinking of Rivers in IndiaIssues and Concerns1A01Md.

Water resources development—India.0300The 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.

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.

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.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162449.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881624560303978938816245615978938816245600BB0101River Pollution in India and Its Management1A01Md.

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. This is a handbook for policy makers and environmental managers in water authorities and engineering companies engaged in water quality programmes.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162456.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881624630303978938816246315978938816246300BB0101River Water DiversionEnvironmental Effects and Implications1A01Md.

Water resources development—Environmental aspects.0300Water 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162463.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881624700303978938816247015978938816247000BB0101Rivers of India1A01Md.

Rivers—India.0300Based 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.

Decentralization in government—India.0300Panchayati 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162487.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881624940303978938816249415978938816249400BB0101Rural development through community participation1A01Anoop Kumar Singh01en002400312BUS068000BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development01307.14120954 2303HN690.Z9C6 2018041.

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. 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162494.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881625000303978938816250015978938816250000BB0101Rural DevelopmentPrinciples, Policies and Management (2 Vol)1A01Jyoti Sinha01en002400312BUS068000BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development01307.14120954 2303HN690.Z9C6 2018041.

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. This book is primarily targeted at graduate and post-graduate students of Rural Development, Agricultural Policy and Planning and Rural Management.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162500.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20022995.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881625170303978938816251715978938816251700BB0101Sardar Patel and Freedom Movements in India1A01Dr. Vibhu Kumar01en002400312HIS037070HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century01954.035092 2303DS481.P35K86 2018041.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162517.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881625240303978938816252415978938816252400BB0101Sardar Patel and his relation with Gandhi, Nehru and Bose (3 Vol. Set)1A01Manish Jha01en002400312HIS037070HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century01954.035092 2303DS481.P35J43 2018041.

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.

India--Politics and government--20th century.0300Dr. 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162548.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881625550303978938816255515978938816255500BB0101The Ganga and India's Future1A01Md.

Water--Pollution--Ganges River (India and Bangladesh)0300The 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162555.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881625790303978938816257915978938816257900BB0101Dimensions of Urban PovertyPlanning and Alleviation1A01C.D.

Metaphysics.0300Metaphysics, 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. Yoga psychology provides the foundation for Indian psychology, an emerging discipline, rooted in classical Indian tradition.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162616.jpg01IN04012019010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021549.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881626230303978938816262315978938816262300BB0101Yoga Traditions and Health1A01Lalit V.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162623.jpgReadworthy Press Corporation01Readworthy Press CorporationIN04012019010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021549.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881626300303978938816263015978938816263000BB0101Yoga Education- Pranayama and Preparation in Breathing1A01Lalit V.

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. Yoga is an exact science. It aims at the harmonious development of the body, the mind and the soul. Realising the potentialities of Yoga, there is phenomenal growth in India and abroad of Yoga universities, institutes, colleges, school engaged in teaching, research and practice or Yoga. University grants commission is also encouraging the education of Yoga. Pranayama, the formal practice of controlling the breath, lies at the heart of yoga. It has a mysterious power to soothe and revitalize a tired body, a flagging spirit, or a wild mind. The ancient sages taught that prana, the vital force circulating through us, can be cultivated and channeled through a panoply of breathing exercises. In the process, the mind is calmed, rejuvenated, and uplifted. Pranayama serves as an important bridge between the outward, active practices of yoga-like asana-and the internal, surrendering practices that lead us into deeper states of meditation. Through this book the author has made an effort to present the practical aspects of Yoga in a very simple, lucid and concise manner for the aspirants, students as well as teachers of Yoga and also for those who want to make the best use of Yoga in their day to day life.

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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162647.jpg01IN04012019010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021549.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881626540303978938816265415978938816265400BB0101Indus Civilization - Arts and Crafts1A01Mahesh Chandra MishraMahesh Chandra Mishra, b. 1983 a qualified teacher teaching Political Science at J.D.

Islamic architecture0300Islamic 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. This book is an endeavour in providing students with sound information on Islamic art and architecture.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162685.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021545.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881626920303978938816269215978938816269200BB0101Hindu Religion Art and Architecture1A01K.

Hindu art--India. 2. Hindu architecture--India.0300Hinduism 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. This book is a great erudition Hindu Religions Art and Architecture is not merely a book on the history of art and architecture it is also a comprehensive study of the cultural history of India.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162692.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021545.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881627080303978938816270815978938816270800BB0101Encyclopaedia of Indian Fair and Festivals(2 Volume Set)1A01K.

Folk music--India, Northeastern.0300Northeast 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.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9789388162746.jpg01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021645.00INRWORLD shhalaj-97893881627530303978938816275315978938816275300BB0101Social Anthropology1A01Suresh ChandraDr. Suresh Chandra, a highly qualified person obtained his all higher qualifications M.A. Ph.D. from Allahabad University in Political Science.

Buddhism.0300Buddhist 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.
