Soft cover. Condizione: As New. The date of the Mahaparinirvana of the Buddha is one of the most significant date of Indian history. Many authors have written volumes over its probability. This small book on the subject is a humble attempt to give a new dimension to the whole issue. Only a few evidences have been presented in this book in support of the date of the Mahaparinirvana of Lord Buddha. After years of careful study and analysis of all the matters related to the date in question, I prefer to mention only those data which are really very relevant and authentic as per the standard texts and archaeological sources. Many other interesting stories on the subject, which fall under the category of speculation have been given no attention and hence are not mentioned here.

"Al-Hilal was an Urdu weekly founded and edited by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad in 1912. Much more than a journal, it was a message, a movement, a voice of protest and revolt, which for the first time since 1857 shook the placid Urdu-speaking world of India to political agitation and action. No wonder that in about a couple of years it was suppressed by the colonial administration. But in the short period of its life, the Al-Hilal had firmly placed Maulana Abul Kalam Azad at the pinnacle of his literary and political fame where he remained throughout the liberation struggle of the country and after. Abul Kalam Azad was a man of religion, like Gandhiji. He wedded the spirit of Islam with the country s freedom struggle. The Al-Hilal is the reflection of the initial stages of this process. The present selection from Al-Hilal (and its rendering into English) under the title The Dawn of Hope , is an effort to make it representative of Abul Kalam Azad s first step on this road, opening them to a wider audience than is provided by Urdu."

Hardbound. Condizione: As New. New. Contents Preface. Introduction. 1. Tribes in India living on the fringe. 2. Gender disparity in education among the Tribes in India. 3. Tribal education and gender question a case study of Matelli block in Jalpaiguri district. Conclusion. Bibliography. Index. Despite 58 years experimentation with the policy of protective discrimination and planned development a large majority of the 80.2 million tribal people languish in abject poverty landlessness powerlessness illiteracy and malnutrition. Being caught in the hangover of the strong patriarchic tradition the women of nearly 700 marginalized tribal communities find themselves highly exploited subjugated and voiceless. The present book first of its kind on tribes living in northern districts of West Bengal (popularly known as North Bengal) explores the areas of subjugation of tribal life and particularly that of the tribal women and analytically presents the case of tribal women in a tea garden locale in the Dooars region of Jalpaiguri district. The focus of the study has been education i.e. how the tribes in general and tribal women in particular are doing in the field of education. The field of education is chosen because it is generally considered the most important force of empowerment enlightenment and social transformation and because it provides us with a field to explore the areas of gender discrimination subsumed in tribal patriarchy. The book has approached the problem of tribal education and the gender question in education against the backdrop of the dialectics of dominant subordinate relationship between the state and the dominant society on the one hand and the marginalized tribes on the other. The uniqueness of the book lies in its critical approach to the state sponsored development strategies and its emphasis on a cultural approach for a better understanding of the problem and for working out alternative development strategies for improving the educational status of the tribal communities. 166 pp.

The book re examines the customary belief that financing of health care is positively related to health status of population The belief has survived despite being fallacious because health is not generally viewed in its widest connotation; so that resources spent on health do not touch the larger meaning of health Hence a non correlation between the two The book presents factual and analytical support for this hypothesis of non-correlation This is done in two stagesFirstly in terms of the existing politico economic critique and secondly by suggesting a holistic view of health three existing paradigms of health?the mechanistic liberalistic and the politico-economic?have been discussed From here the book proceeds to build a holistic paradigm of health The holistic meaning besides physical fitness includes a peaceful state of mind and social consiousness without which society can neither build a genuine health care programme nor ensure positive relationship between health care financing and health status Such a comprehensive perspective integrates mechanistic objective as well as subjective determinants of health In the history of health care the concept of health has progressively widened first from purely microscopic to socioscopic and thereafter to culturoscopic dimensions Holism contains them all?the body mind society and the total human personality The book suggests a holistic health care perspective for promoting health and peace 136 pp.

People seem to be either-or thinkers either this must be true or that must be true As opposed to this there are people who believe that nothing is absolutely true and it is the time and the place which will determine the choice of an idea or a strategy The approach of this book is opposed to both these extremes and alternatively takes a position which may be termed dialectical It posits the possibility that both X and not X may be true at the same time and place It conceives of social reality in the critical-conflict perspective and presents a model of behaviour control-mechanisms that may be effective in an organizational context Besides being useful to the managers and union leaders of various government and non-government manufacturing and service organizations it has attempted to steer out a theoretical approach that may be adopted in understanding predicting and controlling the behaviour of personnel of any hierarchy in a organization 150 pp.
