The chapters in the volume map the gains made and challenges faced by every South Asian country, especially since 2000. Going beyond the usual regional powers like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the volume includes detailed analysis of the state of democracy and future trajectories of Nepal, Afghanistan, Bhutan and Maldives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veins of Devotion details recent collaborations between guru-led devotional movements and public health campaigns to encourage voluntary blood donation in northern India.

Book Synopsis Why are We Still Like This Only by : Dr. Jaideep Singh Chadha, MD
Download or read book Why are We Still Like This Only written by Dr. Jaideep Singh Chadha, MD and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It docs remind us of our legendary golden sparrow, our original values and lessons that our Gurus, saints and spiritual leaders taught us. It does remind us of barbarians who we abhorred, for they killed civilians, including women and children. Their barbarism enslaved us and snuffed out our conscience. Thus, because of our ego-stricken in righting, we did not come together to push those marauders out of our country. We could also not punish those who took over the reigns from those marauders of yore. The author introduces readers to SaMule, an avatar from Panchatantra or Aesopís Fables (if you allow me to say so). The running commentary of SaMule digs into your sides. So, you laugh to your heart's content! Read Samule's comments carefully, though.
Book Synopsis Subaltern Morality: a Postmodern Vision by : Ramesh Chandra Sinha
Download or read book Subaltern Morality: a Postmodern Vision written by Ramesh Chandra Sinha and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expression Subaltern had been used by Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci in his celebrated notes on PRISON DIARY but it is interpreted in a different way in this book. The concept includes caste, color, gender and class. It is not economic category but a cultural one. It is different from Marxist interpretation of the term Proletariat. Marxist Morality is class bound: Subaltern morality is not class bound. An attempt to deconstruct the age old Egalitarian Morality, the author proposes morality of those who are besides the circle and suggests a postmodern vision to understand subaltern morality. Offering challenging insights into conception of Global justice, the author subscribes to Aristotelian contention of distributive justice where equals are treated equally and unequal are treated unequally.

Book Synopsis The Death and Afterlife of Mahatma Gandhi by : Makarand R Paranjape
Download or read book The Death and Afterlife of Mahatma Gandhi written by Makarand R Paranjape and published by Random House India. This book was released on 2015-01-30 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Death and Afterlife of Mahatma Gandhi is an explosive and original analysis of the assassination of the ‘Father of the Nation’. Who is responsible for the Mahatma’s death? Just one determined zealot, the larger ideology that supported him, the Congress-led Government that failed to protect him, or a vast majority of Indians and their descendants who considered Gandhi irrelevant, and endorsed violence instead? Paranjape’s meticulous study culminates in his reading of Gandhi’s last six months in Delhi where, from the very edge of the grave, he wrought what was perhaps his greatest miracle – the saving of Delhi and thus of India itself from the internecine bloodshed of Partition. Paranjape, taking a cue from the Mahatma himself, also shows us a way to expiate our guilt and to heal the wounds of an ancient civilization torn into two. This is a brilliant, far-reaching and profound exploration of the meaning of the Mahatma’s death."
