Book Synopsis Endless Siege by : KRZYSZTOF. IWANEK
Download or read book Endless Siege written by KRZYSZTOF. IWANEK and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an ethnographic study of the Vidya Bharati chain of schools in India which are run by a Hindu nationalist organization called the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The first study of its kind, this volume is an important narrative on the role and impact of textbooks in modern India. Despite having limited resources (they are run on a tight budget) and being based on a radical ideology that derives from a 'Hindu' nationalist agenda, the Vidya Bharati schools have achieved considerable success in the free market of private education and have grown to over 12,000 schools within 40 years. They are an important example of the interlinkage between ideology and nationalism in contemporary India. The author analyses school structure, curriculum, teaching quality, institutional goals, and ideology in an effort to identify reasons behind Vidya Bharati's success and to show through his field research that a combined strategy of pragmatism blended with ideology has allowed the schools to become highly sought-after. This analysis then asks broader questions about the failures of the public education system in India.

Book Synopsis Hindu Mission, Christian Mission by : Reid B. Locklin
Download or read book Hindu Mission, Christian Mission written by Reid B. Locklin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some four hundred years, Hindus and Christians have been engaged in a public controversy about conversion and missionary proselytization, especially in India and the Hindu diaspora. Hindu Mission, Christian Mission reframes this controversy by shifting attention from "conversion" to a wider, interreligious study of "mission" as a category of thought and practice. Comparative theologian Reid B. Locklin traces the emergence of the nondualist Hindu teaching of Advaita Vedānta as a missionary tradition, from the eighth century to the present day, and draws this tradition into dialogue with contemporary proposals in Christian missiology. As a descriptive study of the Chinmaya Mission, the Ramakrishna Mission, and other leading Advaita mission movements, Hindu Mission, Christian Mission contributes to a growing body of scholarship on transnational Hinduism. As a speculative work of Christian comparative theology, it develops key themes from this engagement for a new, interreligious theology of mission and conversion for the twenty-first century and beyond.
Book Synopsis Metaphilosophy of Creation by : Dr. Prattipati Ramaiah
Download or read book Metaphilosophy of Creation written by Dr. Prattipati Ramaiah and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of puzzling Metaphilosophical Questions on Creation: 1) Who was there before creation? 2) Is there a beginning and an end to this creation? 3) Do other universes exist, similar to the universe we live in? 4) What was the first principle or tatwa that put the creation process into action? 5) Is there any controlling force to rule the universe and to keep the universe harmonious? Some of the Cardinal cosmic laws are: “What is evolved is necessarily caused.”-- Cardinal cosmic law - “Being originated it is destructible/changed.” -- Cardinal cosmic law - “What is caused is limited.” -- Cardinal cosmic law Evolution takes place every moment*. “A moment is that period of time unit by which an Anu (atom) in motion gives up its previous position and reaches the succeeding place.” — Maharshi Vyasa. (3000BC) *A moment (Kshana) indicates the smallest unit of time. “Dharma is the form of Dharmi”. “There is no Dharma without a Dharmi” “Dharma Parinama =Characteristic Manifestation is known as Creation” This subject of creation is generally considered obscure, abstract, secretive and unfathomable. But knowledge is self-luminating and the Veda is knowledge. The ancient wisdom of Bharathadesam is the source of illumination for the concepts of creation.

Book excerpt: "Asakyam chaaprameyam cha veda saastramithi sthithih" -Manu -12-94 Either to interpret fully the greatness of the Vedas or to understand them fully is impossible. “Four are the definite grades of speech, The learned and the wise know them, Three of these are deposited in secret, They indicate no meaning to the common man” -Rig Veda -1-164-45 The ancient wisdom of Bharata desham, contained in the Vedas, has interested, excited, and generated curiosity in most of us. But, although we know that the Vedas contain answers to most questions relating to life on earth, and guide us in leading healthy, happy, useful lives in harmony with nature and fellow living creatures, their full import has eluded all but the dedicated scholars. This book is the result of the author’s extensive, invaluable research into the Vedas and the essence of Vedic Sciences, and will surely demystify this vast ocean of knowledge to the ordinary reader. It can serve as a reference book for furthering our understanding of the various branches of science covered in these ancient treatises. The subject Viswamatha is brought under the following books 1. Viswamatha Geetha 2. Metaphilosophy of Creation Cosmos and beyond Cosmos 3. Viswamatha Imperceptible 4. Viswamatha Nishkrithi 5. Viswamatha Ishkrithi
Book Synopsis Bridging Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalism by : Marie Lall
Download or read book Bridging Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalism written by Marie Lall and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India will soon be the world’s most populated country and its political development will shape the world of the 21st century. Yet Hindu nationalism – at the helm of contemporary Indian politics – is not well understood outside of India, and its links to the global neoliberal trajectory have not been explored. Covering 30 years of Indian politics, this book shows for the first time the importance of education in propagating the acceptance of Hindu nationalism within a neolberal system, including the reframing of the concept of Indian citizenship. The first five years of Modi rule failed to bring about the development that had been promised and have seen India’s rapid change from a largely inclusive society to one where religious minorities are denied their basic rights.

Book Synopsis The Life and Times of Rajju Bhaiya (Includes his own recorded audio memories) by : Ratan Sharda
Download or read book The Life and Times of Rajju Bhaiya (Includes his own recorded audio memories) written by Ratan Sharda and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of the personality of Rajju Bhaiya, we recall the words of respected Guruji while he analysed the personality of a Karyakarta (worker). Coal and diamond—both come from the root element ‘Carbon’. When coal burns, only ash is left behind. But a diamond doesn’t burn, it shines brightly. From the point of view of objectivity, both coal and diamond are same. But, from utility and acceptability coal is coal and diamond is diamond. A karyakarta should be like a diamond. Yes, Rajju Bhatya was an attractive diamond. The ‘life and times' outlined by Ratan Sharda is the life’s journey of this diamond. —Ranga Hari (Scholar, author, senior Pracharak of RSS) Prof. Rajendra Singh, popularly called Rajju Bhaiya since his early days was a brilliant but helpful, compassionate teacher in Allahabad University; served in RSS at higher levels and finally as the chief (Sarsanghchalak) from 1994 to 2000. A person with brilliant academic record who could have been a scientist of international repute, he chose to serve the nation. He was a versatile personality with photographic memory, who could tame a mischievous horse, play violine, write songs, even set music for them and sing beautifully in his mellifluous voice. Rajju Bhatya was an effulgent, ever smiling, humble and publicity shy person who had friends across the political spectrum; a spiritual scientific mind who could see nothing but goodness in every human being. This is an easy flowing account of a life that will inspire every reader.
Book Synopsis India Goes to School by : Shivali Tukdeo
Download or read book India Goes to School written by Shivali Tukdeo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pays attention to education in India as part of several overlapping stories developed along different axes: stories of dissent, contestations, appropriation and social action. It historicises the enterprise of formal education by paying attention to the numerous policy shifts. Further, it theorises the education policy discourse by analysing the ways in which education is increasingly being shaped by international/transnational knowledge production, actors and norms. Focusing on the cultural politics of education policy production, circulation and translation across different contexts, the book revisits some of the long-standing and unresolved debates on social reforms, justice, nationalism and mobility. Evolution of ideas such as mass education, national education, adult literacy and education through public-private-partnerships showcase the momentous shifts in education policy over the course of last century. Ideas, institutional and economic arrangements, administrative formulations and frameworks for implementation make frequent appearances in the cultural as well as political reading of education policy. In a departure from the traditional policy research, this work sees policy as socially and culturally constructed; connected to questions of power, context and struggle; and part of a number of processes at large.

Book Synopsis The Nazification Of India by : Sadaf A. & Faiza Zainab Khan
Download or read book The Nazification Of India written by Sadaf A. & Faiza Zainab Khan and published by Justice For All. This book was released on 2023-02-20 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust, the result of a strategic plan by the agencies of Hitler, the German fuhrer. Thankfully the world reacted to his machinations, but only after millions of Jewish victims of his hatred, and declared that such horrors should happen, “Never Again”. But those words have not been followed through in international action, and genocides have been repeated time and again since. Each time, the genocide playbook of the Nazis was followed to some degree or the other. India is unique in that its current pogroms against minority populations, the Muslims and Christians of India, follow the Nazi playbook to a degree that cannot be considered as coincidental. India’s Nazis have embraced German Nazi methods, and are emboldened by international inaction in the cases from Rwanda and Burma. They rely on the flawed perception of India as a democracy to shield their pogroms until perhaps it will be too late. This report analyzes twelve parallels between Nazi Germany and India under the regime of Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Acting in conjunction with the largest voluntary paramilitary organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Modi provides the administrative & legal framework to implement the ideology of the RSS, called Hindutva. Deriving from the religion of Hinduism, it is however, an extremist, nationalistic and fascist offshoot that has, from its inception in the early 1900s, sought to marginalize religions originating outside of what is considered as greater India, stretching far beyond the Indian borders of today. The report discusses the supremacist ideas at the core, combined with a yearning of a glorious past, and how it has led to dehumanization, legal and economic repression, vilification, ghettoization, and the destruction of properties, all using the building of a cult figure and paramilitary training even for very young recruits. This deadly machinery is brought to bear on India’s Muslims and to a lesser extent, on India’s Christians, with devastating and demoralizing effect. We hope that the report sheds light on the dire situation for minorities, being created in India by the RSS-BJP regime. It is imperative for the international community to set aside the economic benefits seen in India, and act decisively to prevent what will certainly be mass marginalization, frequent but geographically separated mass killings and continued lynchings, beatings and economic deprivation of a population larger than the entire population of many of the world’s countries. The report ends with recommendations for the United Nations States, Canada, and civil groups to stem the rise of fascism in India and prevent yet another genocide from happening.
Book Synopsis Messengers of Hindu Nationalism by : Walter Andersen
Download or read book Messengers of Hindu Nationalism written by Walter Andersen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is a Hindu nationalist volunteer organization. It is also the parent of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. Prime Minister Modi was himself a career RSS office-holder, or pracharak. This book explores how the RSS and its affiliates have benefitted from India's economic development and concurrent social dislocation, with rapid modernization creating a sense of rootlessness, disrupting traditional hierarchies, and attracting many upwardly mobile groups to the organization. India seems more willing than ever to accept the RSS's narrative of Hindu nationalism--one that seeks to assimilate Hindus into a common identity representing true 'Indianness'. Yet the RSS has also come to resemble 'the Congress system', with a socially diverse membership containing a distinct left, right and center. The organization's most significant dilemma is how to reconcile the assault from its far right on cultural issues like cow protection with condemnations of globalization from the left flank. Andersen and Damle offer an essential account of the RSS's rapid rise in recent decades, tracing how it has evolved in response to economic liberalization and assessing its long-term impact on Indian politics and society.
