Book Synopsis A History of the Indian University System by : Surja Datta
Download or read book A History of the Indian University System written by Surja Datta and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an explanation of the nature of the Indian university system, including its specificities and its peculiarities as well as exploring how they developed. It offers a historical and institutional perspective by singling out the forces that have shaped the present Indian higher education system. Bridging the pre-independence and the post-independence eras, the book illustrates the continuities as well as the differences between the two epochs. It makes a compelling case for the idea that history matters, and an understanding of India’s history is crucial to understanding the present day Indian university scene. Using multiple paradigmatic case studies, based on the University of Calcutta, the Indian Institute of Science, and the Indian Statistical Institute, the book highlights the dominant ideologies and interests that have shaped the university system since its inception in 1857. It will be of great importance to students and scholars of history and education, particularly those with an interest in the history of India and its education system.

Book Synopsis Empire and Leprosy in Colonial Bengal by : Apalak Das
Download or read book Empire and Leprosy in Colonial Bengal written by Apalak Das and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leprosy, widely mentioned in different religious texts and ancient scriptures, is the oldest scourge of humankind. Cases of leprosy continue to be found across the world as the most crucial health problem, especially in India and Brazil. There are a few maladies that eventually turn into social disquiets, and leprosy is undoubtedly one of them. This book traces the dynamics of the interface between colonial policy on leprosy and religion, science and society in Bengal from the mid-nineteenth to the first half of the twentieth centuries. It explores how the idea of ‘degeneration’ and the ‘desolates’ shaped the colonial legality of segregating ‘lepers’ in Indian society. The author also delves into the treatments of leprosy that were often transfigured from ‘original’ English texts, written by American or British medical professionals, into Bengali. Rich in archival resources, this book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of history, Indian history, public health, social history, medical humanities, medical history and colonial history.
Book Synopsis Monsoon as Method by : Lindsay Bremner
Download or read book Monsoon as Method written by Lindsay Bremner and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An edited volume by Monsoon Assemblages, a European Research Council funded research project. The book presents the methods that Monsoon Assemblages has evolved for engaging the monsoon, a globally connected weather system, as a coproducer of urban life and space in South and Southeast Asian cities. It challenges views of climate as an inert backdrop to urban life, instead suggesting that it is materially and spatially active in shaping urban politics, ecologies, infrastructures, buildings and bodies. It combines critical texts with cartography, photography and ethnography to present the project’s methodology and its outcomes and invites urban practitioners to think differently about space, time, representation and human and non-human agency. It offers intra-disciplinary, intra-active methods for rethinking human and non-human relations with weather in ways that meet the challenges of climate change and the Anthropocene.
Book Synopsis The Tradition of Astronomy in India by : B. V. Subbarayappa
Download or read book The Tradition of Astronomy in India written by B. V. Subbarayappa and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrations: Numerous Colour Illustrations Description: The volumes of the Project of History of Science, Philosophy and Culture in Indian Civilization aim to discover the central aspects of India's heritage and present them in an interrelated manner. In spite of their unitary look, these volumes recognize the difference between the areas of material civilization and those of ideational culture. The Project is not being executed by a single group of thinkers, methodologically uniform or ideologically identical in their commitments. Rather, contributions are made by different scholars of diverse ideological persuasions and methodological approaches. The Project is marked by what may be called 'methodological pluralism'. In spite of its primarily historical character, this project, both in its conceptualization and execution, has been shaped by scholars drawn from different disciplines. It is the first time that an endeavour of such unique and comprehensive character has been undertaken to study critically a major world civilization. This Volume endeavours to present the perceptible facets of the tradition of astronomy in India : - the torch-bearers of this tradition and their texts; main characteristics of Indian astronomy; scientific approach to the phenomenon of eclipse; pancanga and its social dimensions including the vrata-s, festivals and other observances; origin of astrological ideas, their seeming links with astronomy and certain contradictions; extensive computations concerning planetary revolutions in a huge cyclic period, mean as well as true positions of planets and associated mathematical aspects. In order to have the narrative undisturbed, the related mathematical astronomy has been given in the Appendices. Computations apart, Indian astronomers were keen observers of the motions of celestial bodies and used several instruments, and this aspect has been dealt with appropriately. The question of transmissions in the early centuries before and after the Christian Era vis-a-vis the originality and endogenous developments of Indian astronomy, has been addressed in an objective manner. Since Islamic astronomy has also fostered its tradition in India for over 500 years, three articles on this have been reproduced in the Appendices. Indian astronomical texts are noted for their mathematical-astronomical scientific terminology which was so standardized that it enabled astronomers (who were separated both in time and space), to articulate and promote this tradition over the centuries, as evidenced by the extensive glossary of technical terms given at the end. It is hoped that this Volume, probably the first of its kind inasmuch as it sheds light on both the scientific and the long tradition of Indian astronomy, will be found useful by scholars and general readers alike.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: The volume presents a discourse on Science and the Public in the context of countries like India where the majority of the Public still lives in non-industralized settings. Questioning the applicability of prevailing literary trends on the subjects to Indian realities, an alternate discourse construct is presented. Existing literature, it is argued, has unfolded in the US and Europe since the Second World War, in discourse spaces circumscribed by their industrialization and Security led science policy agenda compulsions of public accountability creating institutionalized policy research capabilities in academia and research tools, techniques and approaches to support informed discourse on Science and the Public in thus constituted spaces. As the counterpart space is missing in India s science policy trajectory, an alternate discourse space and construct has been discerned in it that may be termed as Science in the Public (rather than Science and the Public ). Proffesor Yash Pal s essay reflects upon the wider context of this relocation. Alternate discourse is constituted by aspects of Science reflected in the public understanding of nature ( Gauhar Raza, hester du Plessis), in processes of science education (Vinod Raina) and in knowing, feeling and doing of indigenous knowledge (Anil Gupta). Science manifested in the livelihoods of the majority public living on margins of industrialization circumscribe a public-space for discourse that views science emanating from organised structures of education, scientific research and industry as coming into it from outside . The impact of tacit knowledge, subjective networks and of multidisciplinarity inherent in the former points to the emergence of a new order in the latter (Stephen Hill). Parthsarathi Banerjee presents yet another alternate discourse construct as contest between institutions of interlocked systems of knowledge immersed in practices and feeling ( bodily knowledge ). Chapters on science communication (Saroj Ghose and Subodh Mahanti), gender issues (Neelam Kumar) and on mobilishing informed public opinion on patents (Dinesh Abrol) provide reference points to mainstream international literary trends on the subject. Irfan Habib and Satpal Sangwan provide historical perspectives on the theme.
