Book excerpt: Old Potions, New Bottles Is A Study Of How Indigenous Medical Learning And Practices Were Recast And Reformulated With The Coming Of Western Medicine And Western Medical Ideas Through Colonial Rule.Analysing Local Responses To Global Enforcements In A Specific Yet Massive Terrain Namely, Colonial Punjab Kavita Sivaramakrishnan Explores The Processes By Which This Region S Ayurvedic Practitioners And Publicists Set About Reordering Ideas And Mobilising Networks In Response To The Claims Of Western Medicine And Its Implicit Validation Of Colonial Rule. She Shows That Vaid Practitioners Engaged With The Scientific Authority Of Western Medicine In The Colony Through Writings And Other Efforts In A Print-Based Public Sphere. Facing Both Threat And Competition, Local Practitioners Were Forced To Address And Propagate New Forms Of Medical Reason To Legitimise And Revalidate The Indigenous Scientific Basis Of Their Learning. In Part, This Meant Reinterpreting Ayurved S Claims To Status And Authority.This Book Also Explores The Engagements Between Ayurved And Yunani Indigenous Practices, Thereby Looking Beyond The Confining Binaries Of Asian And Western Medical Systems. It Argues For An Understanding Of The Contextual Politics Of Indigenous Medicine As A Fluid And Complex Body Of Ideas As Well As Representations Of Religious Identities And Linguistic Alignments. Vaid Claims To Patronage And Representation Now Meant Nothing Less Than Recasting Vaid Identity In Punjab; And This Was Marked By Irregular Alignments And Multiple Imaginings. In Showing This, The Author Suggests New Perspectives On Hindu Reformist Politics, Its Ambiguities And Fractures.

This Is Supplemented And Enriched By Interviews With Ayurvedic Practitioners And Families Of Hereditary Practitioners, As Well As Data From Private Collections And Diaries That Have Never Been Accessed Until Now.

Book Synopsis Nonviolence in the Mahabharata by : Alf Hiltebeitel
Download or read book Nonviolence in the Mahabharata written by Alf Hiltebeitel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Indian mythological texts like the Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa, there are recurrent tales about gleaners. The practice of "gleaning" in India had more to do with the house-less forest life than with residential village or urban life or with gathering residual post-harvest grains from cultivated fields. Gleaning can be seen a metaphor for the Mahābhārata poets’ art: an art that could have included their manner of gleaning what they made the leftovers (what they found useful) from many preexistent texts into Vyāsa’s “entire thought”—including oral texts and possibly written ones, such as philosophical debates and stories. This book explores the notion of non-violence in the epic Mahābhārata. In examining gleaning as an ecological and spiritual philosophy nurtured as much by hospitality codes as by eating practices, the author analyses the merits and limitations of the 9th century Kashmiri aesthetician Anandavardhana that the dominant aesthetic sentiment or rasa of the Mahābhārata is shanta (peace). Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent reading of the Mahabharata via the Bhagavad Gita are also studied. This book by one of the leaders in Mahābhārata studies is of interest to scholars of South Asian Literary Studies, Religious Studies as well as Peace Studies, South Asian Anthropology and History.
Book Synopsis Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics Between the World Wars by : Tara Zahra
Download or read book Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics Between the World Wars written by Tara Zahra and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant, eye-opening work of history that speaks volumes about today’s battles over international trade, immigration, public health and global inequality. Before the First World War, enthusiasm for a borderless world reached its height. International travel, migration, trade, and progressive projects on matters ranging from women’s rights to world peace reached a crescendo. Yet in the same breath, an undercurrent of reaction was growing, one that would surge ahead with the outbreak of war and its aftermath. In Against the World, a sweeping and ambitious work of history, acclaimed scholar Tara Zahra examines how nationalism, rather than internationalism, came to ensnare world politics in the early twentieth century. The air went out of the globalist balloon with the First World War as quotas were put on immigration and tariffs on trade, not only in the United States but across Europe, where war and disease led to mass societal upheaval. The “Spanish flu” heightened anxieties about porous national boundaries. The global impact of the 1929 economic crash and the Great Depression amplified a quest for food security in Europe and economic autonomy worldwide. Demands for relief from the instability and inequality linked to globalization forged democracies and dictatorships alike, from Gandhi’s India to America’s New Deal and Hitler’s Third Reich. Immigration restrictions, racially constituted notions of citizenship, anti-Semitism, and violent outbursts of hatred of the “other” became the norm—coming to genocidal fruition in the Second World War. Millions across the political spectrum sought refuge from the imagined and real threats of the global economy in ways strikingly reminiscent of our contemporary political moment: new movements emerged focused on homegrown and local foods, domestically produced clothing and other goods, and back-to-the-land communities. Rich with astonishing detail gleaned from Zahra’s unparalleled archival research in five languages, Against the World is a poignant and thorough exhumation of the popular sources of resistance to globalization. With anti-globalism a major tenet of today’s extremist agendas, Zahra's arrestingly clearsighted and wide-angled account is essential reading to grapple with our divided present.
Book Synopsis Three Centuries of Mission by : Daniel O'Connor
Download or read book Three Centuries of Mission written by Daniel O'Connor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new and expansive official history of the USPG commissioned to mark the tercentenary in 2001. The first half tells a compelling global story from the mission to the Americas in the 18th century, through the North China Mission in the late 19th century to today's Social Development Programme in Bangladesh. There is a particular focus on the post-1945 period of decolonization, development and dialogue with other religions. The second half is a collection of essays that give a wide range of themes and perspective from a history of missionary wives by Deborah Kirkwood to a discussion of the evolving role of the church in Zambia by Musonda Mwamba.Three Centuries of Mission emphasizes the key instrumentality of the USPG in the emergence of a worldwide network of Churches in the Anglican Communion and their significance in the world at the beginning of the new century.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Myth by : Jayati Bhattacharya
Download or read book Beyond the Myth written by Jayati Bhattacharya and published by Flipside Digital Content Company Inc.. This book was released on 2003-08-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a macro-study of Indian business communities in Singapore through different phases of their growth since colonial times. It goes beyond the conventional labour-history approach to study Indian immigrants to Southeast Asia, both in terms of themselves and their connections with the peoples' movements. It looks at how Indian business communities negotiated with others in the environments in which they found themselves and adapted to them in novel ways. It especially brings into focus the patterns and integration of the Indian networks in the large-scale transnational flows of capital, one of the least-studied aspects of the diaspora history in this part of the world. The complexities and overlapping interests of different groups of traders and businessmen form an interesting study of various aspects of these trading bodies, their methods of operation and their trade links, both within and outside Singapore. The book also charts their mobility and progress, in terms of both business and social status. The research aims to construct linear threads of linkages through generations and situate them in the larger framework and broader paradigms of business networks in Singapore.In shedding light on aspects of Indian connectivities to Southeast Asia, the narrative is particularly relevant in the context of India's economic rise. This study raises economic, social and cultural issues regarding the transition.
