Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raksha Bandhan places a strong focus on the ideas of care and protection. Rakhi (holy thread) is a symbol of a sister's confidence and assurance that her brother would always be there to protect her, both physically and emotionally. Hindus celebrate Rakhsha Bandhan, sometimes referred to as Rakhi, which is a well-known festival. The underlying meaning of Rakhsha Bandhan is that it represents the love and brotherhood that exist among Indians. This holiday is extensively observed in India. In the history and mythology of India, there are a number of tales that describe how this festival first came to be. Mythological Time There is another narrative that supports the genesis of the occasion known as Raksha Bandhan according which Lord Krishna destroyed the devil King Shishupal to safeguard the Dharma on earth. During the battle, Lord Krishna suffered a bleeding finger. Draupadi noticed his damaged finger was bleeding, so she tore a piece of her saree and tied it around it to stop the bleeding. She was valued by Lord Krishna for her love and concern. She had a sisterly affection and compassion that he felt bound by. He promised to pay her future debt of appreciation back. After many years, the treacherous Kauravas won the Pandavas' wife Draupadi in a game of chance. When they made an attempt to take Draupadi's saree, Lord Krishna used his heavenly abilities to save Draupadi's honor.

Download or read book Girl Unbroken written by Regina Calcaterra and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the highly anticipated sequel to her New York Times bestseller Etched in Sand, Regina Calcaterra pairs with her youngest sister Rosie to tell Rosie’s harrowing, yet ultimately triumphant, story of childhood abuse and survival. They were five kids with five different fathers and an alcoholic mother who left them to fend for themselves for weeks at a time. Yet through it all they had each other. Rosie, the youngest, is fawned over and shielded by her older sister, Regina. Their mother, Cookie, blows in and out of their lives “like a hurricane, blind and uncaring to everything in her path.” But when Regina discloses the truth about her abusive mother to her social worker, she is separated from her younger siblings Norman and Rosie. And as Rosie discovers after Cookie kidnaps her from foster care, the one thing worse than being abandoned by her mother is living in Cookie’s presence. Beaten physically, abused emotionally, and forced to labor at the farm where Cookie settles in Idaho, Rosie refuses to give in. Like her sister Regina, Rosie has an unfathomable strength in the face of unimaginable hardship—enough to propel her out of Idaho and out of a nightmare. Filled with maturity and grace, Rosie’s memoir continues the compelling story begun in Etched in Sand—a shocking yet profoundly moving testament to sisterhood and indomitable courage.

Book Synopsis Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family by : Lewis Henry Morgan
Download or read book Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family written by Lewis Henry Morgan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern anthropology would be radically different without this book. Published in 1871, this first major study of kinship, inventive and wide-ranging, created a new field of inquiry in anthropology. Drawing partly upon his own fieldwork among American Indians, anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan examined the kinship systems of over one hundred cultures, probing for similarities and differences in their organization. In his attempt to discover particular types of marriage and descent systems across the globe, Morgan demonstrated the centrality of kinship relations in many cultures. Kinship, it was revealed, was an important key for understanding cultures and could be studied through systematic, scientific means. ø Anthropologists continue to wrestle with the premises, methodology, and conclusions of Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity. Scholars such as W. H. R. Rivers, Robert Lowie, Meyer Fortes, Fred Eggan, and Claude Lävi-Strauss have acknowledged their intellectual debt to this study; those less sympathetic to Morgan?s treatment of kinship nonetheless do not question its historical significance and impact on the development of modern anthropology.
