This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book The Idea of Being Indians and the Making of India is a must read for all Indians. It informs them why India is a colony of its middle class who keeps the 80 percent of the population out of the benefits of all economic planning and development. The answer is that the struggle for India's freedom was waged by its middle-class leaders only to drive the British out of power and not to get rid of the feudal-fascist governance structures of administration, judiciary, and police, which were "crushing" us, according to Nehru's admission in his book The Discovery of India. These "crushing" structures, our leaders themselves took over and had the taste of the power and pelf that flowed, and their feast still continues while the nation gets the human development ranking at 136 among 187 nations, according the latest Human Development Report released by the UNDP in March 2013. The book narrates in lucid language that the noble and highly egalitarian missions of the Indian Republic, contained in the Preamble to the Constitution of India, could not be translated into experiential comforts for people of this country only because they were not compatible with the feudal-fascist revenue-collection-oriented structures inherited from the British. The book argues that when leaders who, after making a set of highly republican and democratically oriented development objectives for their country, adopt them as the Preamble to the Constitution of India instead of creating relevant democratic republican governance structures to implement, they deliberately pick up the regressive feudal-fascist governance structures used by the colonial government for their selfish ends. It is tantamount not only to a political scam but to a spiritual one. The author gives a twelve-point sarvodaya good governance model' as remedy to these strategic errors of our founding fathers and for making a resurgent India with the help of the mission statements of the Indian Republic enshrined in the Preamble to the Constitution of India. The author argues that the mission statements in the Preamble to the Constitution of India contain the idea of being Indians of a healthy, prosperous, and peaceful society at total or 100 percent population level. The making of India of such a society is in the hands of the people of India, especially the youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK: In 'The Idea of Being Indians and the Making of India, ' author George Varuggheese has attempted what no other author has tried so far in the independent India. The great question that had puzzled millions of Indians was why India is still behaving like the colony that was ruled by the British feudal-fascist government. In this book, the author had tried to answer that question very lucidly and convincingly. And the result? A million dollar scam of a sociological nature, nurtured and sustained by the middle class leaders who acted as the founding fathers of Indian Republic, had come to the surface of Indian history of the past 67 years. With anecdotes from Jawaharlal Nehru's writings, he has established that the Indian middle class leaders who were products of the union between the bad sections of the British middle class and the bad sections of the Indian middle class, had decided that they were capable of taking the control of government from the British personnel and therefore fought for India's freedom from foreign rule. They succeeded in driving the British colonial rulers away and taking over their control systems of police, judiciary and administration for running the Republic of India. Now, where is the scam in all these? Well, In modern vocabulary, a scam stands for a fraudulent act or set of acts involving personal gains of the perpetrators of such acts. When a group of leaders after openly declaring democratic and republican goals for their country in the Preamble to the Constitution of their country, make detailed provisions for continuing with the feudal, oppressive governance systems of their erstwhile colonial masters, that can be called a socio-economic-spiritual scam sculpted on behalf of the Indian middle class against the 80% of the population which was excluded from the development agenda of the country. What is more surprising revelation in this book is the fact that it was Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel who led the majority group of capitalist leaders of the Constituent Assembly of India to draft the Constitutional provisions for retaining the feudal fascist governance structures of the erstwhile colonial government for running the Republic of India. While the Modi government in Gujarat had decided to erect a 600-ft statue of Sardar Patel in reverence to the heroics he had shown in uniting the small princely states of pre-independent India and named the statue as Statue of Unity, author Varuggheese had denounced Modi's effort as statue in remembrance of the feudal-fascist mind set of Indian middle class. Though Nehru opposed the feudal-fascist governance structures of the British colonial government, he could not do anything to prevent Patel from having his way, as Nehru's socialist group consisted of only a minority. Author Varuggheese gives a 12-point sarvodaya good governance model in the book based on the Mission Statements of the Indian Republic as given in the Preamble to the Constitution of India to recover the lost chances of Indian Republic at the hands of the founding fathers. It is for the first time that an author has tried to present the Preamble to the Constitution of India as the Mission Statements of the Republic of India. He also feels that the new political party emerged in India, i.e. the Aam Aadmi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal and Yogendra Yadav will be able to redeem India from the feudal-fascist governance structures foisted on the Republic of India by the founding fathers of India as their party is driven by the ideology of 'swaraj' or the rule by people. In fact, he is sure that the Aam Aadmi Party leaders will be called the makers of a new India, as India is all set to walk the path of 'swaraj. The Idea of Being Indians and the Making of India is a book meant for every Indian home or those who cares for India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1909 Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, on his way back to South Africa from London, wrote his now celebrated tract Hind Swaraj, laying out his vision for the future of India and famously rejecting the technological innovations of Western civilization. Despite his protestations, Western technology endured and helped to make India one of the leading economies in our globalized world. Few would question the dominant role that technology plays in modern life, but to fully understand how India first advanced into technological modernity, argues David Arnold, we must consider the technology of the everyday. Everyday Technology is a pioneering account of how small machines and consumer goods that originated in Europe and North America became objects of everyday use in India in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Rather than investigate “big” technologies such as railways and irrigation projects, Arnold examines the assimilation and appropriation of bicycles, rice mills, sewing machines, and typewriters in India, and follows their impact on the ways in which people worked and traveled, the clothes they wore, and the kind of food they ate. But the effects of these machines were not limited to the daily rituals of Indian society, and Arnold demonstrates how such small-scale technologies became integral to new ways of thinking about class, race, and gender, as well as about the politics of colonial rule and Indian nationhood. Arnold’s fascinating book offers new perspectives on the globalization of modern technologies and shows us that to truly understand what modernity became, we need to look at the everyday experiences of people in all walks of life, taking stock of how they repurposed small technologies to reinvent their world and themselves.

This book was released on 2012-09-03 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compared to how it looked 150 years ago at the eve of the colonial conquest, today’s India is almost completely unrecognizable. A sovereign nation, with a teeming, industrious population, it is an economic powerhouse and the world’s largest democracy. It can boast of robust legal institutions and a dizzying plurality of cultures, in addition to a lively and unrestricted print and electronic media. The question is how did it get to where it is now? Covering the period from 1800 to 1950, this study of about a dozen makers of modern India is a valuable addition to India’s cultural and intellectual history. More specifically, it shows how through the very act of writing, often in English, these thought leaders reconfigured Indian society. The very act of writing itself became endowed with almost a charismatic authority, which continued to influence generations that came after the exit of the authors from the national stage. By examining the lives and works of key players in the making of contemporary India, this study assesses their relationships with British colonialism and Indian traditions. Moreover, it analyzes how their use of the English language helped shape Indian modernity, thus giving rise to a uniquely Indian version of liberalism. The period was the fiery crucible from which an almost impossibly diverse and pluralistic new nation emerged through debate, dialogue, conflict, confrontation, and reconciliation. The author shows how the struggle for India was not only with British colonialism and imperialism, but also with itself and its past. He traces the religious and social reforms that laid the groundwork for the modern sub-continental state, proposed and advocated in English by the native voices that influenced the formation India’s society. Merging culture, politics, language, and literature, this is a path breaking volume that adds much to our understanding of a nation that looks set to achieve much in the coming century.

Book excerpt: Krech (anthropology, Brown U.) treats such provocative issues as whether the Eden in which Native Americans are viewed as living prior to European contact was a feature of native environmentalism or simply low population density; indigenous use of fire; and the Indian role in near-extinctions of buffalo, deer, and beaver. He concludes that early Indians' culturally-mediated closeness with nature was not always congruent with modern conservation ideas, with implications for views of, and by, contemporary Indians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A commercial company established in 1600 to monopolize trade between England and the Far East, the East India Company grew to govern an Indian empire. Exploring the relationship between power and knowledge in European engagement with Asia, Indian Ink examines the Company at work and reveals how writing and print shaped authority on a global scale in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Tracing the history of the Company from its first tentative trading voyages in the early seventeenth century to the foundation of an empire in Bengal in the late eighteenth century, Miles Ogborn takes readers into the scriptoria, ships, offices, print shops, coffeehouses, and palaces to investigate the forms of writing needed to exert power and extract profit in the mercantile and imperial worlds. Interpreting the making and use of a variety of forms of writing in script and print, Ogborn argues that material and political circumstances always undermined attempts at domination through the power of the written word. Navigating the juncture of imperial history and the history of the book, Indian Ink uncovers the intellectual and political legacies of early modern trade and empire and charts a new understanding of the geography of print culture.
