One Should not fail to thoroughly understand the Bhagavad Gita as ancient Science of worldly life. These were the words of Lokmanya Tilak. Truly, this is a true scripture of the human race as a living creation rather than a book, with a new message for every civilization. As the days pass on, it's becoming more relevant for ages to come. Adi Shankaracharya brought it out from Epic Mahabharat as a clear knowledge to fulfil all the goals of human existence. From ancient to the modern brains it became source of inspiration. For Albert Einstein Bhagavad Gita was the main source of inspiration and guide for the purpose of scientific investigations and formation of his theories. With the hope that this book will be taken by the readers as a creation and not just a book, and will be a reference text to wide range of readers from students to philosophers, from spiritualists to scientists and writers. Purpose of bringing this book is not just to increase the readability and quotability of Bhagavad Gita through verses and haikus but also to increase spirituality among masses. -Publisher * Gandiva is the name of Arch (Dhanush) of Arjun

The Indian Ocean as a Memory Space-Reflections in Indian Diasporic Literature and Culture: The Indian Ocean is a Memory Space for India and her Diaspora. It is a space or site with which, not just the memories of the British colonial period are linked, but collective memories that go back much further in time. Maritime communities from India's Western and Eastern coasts have for over 4,000 years and more, engaged in trade and commerce with the lands in the Persian Gulf, the East and South African coasts, and South East Asia. During the colonial period, indentured Indian labour was taken first to Mauritius in 1834 and then to South Africa and East Africa. The indentured diaspora was followed quickly by the diaspora of traders and professionals. These memories are reflected in Indian Diasporic Literature and Cinema written or made by persons of Indian origins who still live in the littoral states along the African shores of the Indian Ocean, or those who have since immigrated to other spaces such as Canada, the U.S.A. and the U.K. Much research is being done around the world today on the Indian Ocean and its connection with the Indian Diaspora. This international, interdisciplinary collection of essays written by scholars of the Indian diaspora from India and different diasporic locations will value add to the existing scholarship.

A major new collection of essays by Ramachandra Guha, Democrats and Dissenters is a work of rigorous scholarship on topics of compelling contemporary interest, written with elegance and wit. The book covers a wide range of themes: from the varying national projects of India’s neighbours to political debates within India itself, from the responsibilities of writers to the complex relationship between democracy and violence. It has essays critically assessing the work of Amartya Sen and Eric Hobsbawm, commentaries on the tragic predicament of tribals in India–who are, as Guha demonstrates, far worse off than Dalits or Muslims, yet get a fraction of the attention–and on the peculiar absence of a tradition of conservative intellectuals in India. Each essay takes up an important topic or an influential intellectual, as a window to explore major political and cultural debates in India and the world. Democrats and Dissenters is a book that is widely read, and even more widely discussed.

A CLASSIC OF REPORTAGE FROM RURAL INDIA BY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR, WITH A FOREWORD BY GOPALKRISHNA GANDHI – Prescribed in over 100 universities – Reveals the human face of poverty – Key to understanding issues of globalization, human rights, development economics in India – One of the classics of journalism Acclaimed across the world, prescribed in over 100 universities and colleges, and included in part in The Century’s Greatest Reportage (Ordfront, 2000), alongside the works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Studs Terkel and John Reed, Everybody Loves a Good Drought is the established classic on rural poverty in India. Twenty years after publication, it remains unsurpassed in the scope and depth of reportage, providing an intimate view of the daily struggles of the poor and the efforts, often ludicrous, made to uplift them. An illuminating introduction accompanying this twentieth-anniversary edition reveals, alarmingly, how a large section of India continues to suffer in the name of development so that a small percentage may prosper. Besides exposing chronic misgovernance, it is also a devastating comment on the media’s failure to speak for the voiceless.

The gradual and steady rise of the 90-year-old Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has fueled many myths. ‘Know About RSS’ unravels the organisation's functioning by providing insight into hitherto unexplained aspects of the RSS – the daily Shakha, Saffron Flag, Prayer, Training Camps, Full-Time Workers, etc. This book provides authentic information about the organisational structure of the RSS, which is simple yet unique and baffling to those unfamiliar with it.

Spellings and pronunciation are very important in the English language. One of the characteristics of this language is that there are many words with slight spelling changes and similar pronunciation but different meanings. Such terms are called homonyms or homophones. In this book, many groups of such words are given along with sentences for an explanation of the difference in meanings. This will help understand the language better and smooth the words' usage. It also shows that a spelling error can change the meaning of the word and hence the sentence to a great extent. This book will help us understand the proper use of the word. The usage is explained with a sentence for better understanding. It will benefit students, aspirants of competitive exams, professionals and lovers of the English language.

The relationship between the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a cultural organisation and the political parties Bharatiya Jana Sangh and the Bharatiya Janata Party is unique in the history of Indian polity. Because of the shared ideology and cadre, the inner workings and the interpersonal relationships have been a matter of surmise and conjecture. It has become even more so now that the BJP has an absolute majority and is the ruling party at the centre. With an unbroken relationship stretching from 1951 onwards, it is the informal weave of brotherhood that has made it a successful operation. This book depicts the history, foundation, and development of this relationship and how this symbiosis has unfolded over the years.

The book ‘From Audio-Visual Aids to Educational Technology’ symbolises the evolution and development of Educational Technology and covers the journey from the traditional graphics and inexpensive teaching-learning aids. It depicts the establishment of the Audio-Visual Education Cell in the Ministry of Education, Govt. of India, in 1948, and the establishment of Audio-Visual Education Units in the State Departments of Education, with Audio-Visual Education officers as their heads. The book highlights the beginning of the telecast of Educational Television programs through satellite for the first time in 1975–76 in nearly 2,400 villages across 6 states, and the Indian Education Satellite, known as ‘Satellite for Education’ in 1981–82, was exclusively devoted to educational programs. —Prof. HARMESH LAL

What attracted me to Govind’s stories was a strange kind of innocence reflected there. The injured in the story – be it a person, a character or his/her feelings – about whom we don’t know much nor the author tells much, just the feeling of being injured... it comes out with such passion that is seldom seen in other story-writers.” So said Nirmal Verma about Govind Mishra’s short stories. Another prominent short story writer of Hindi, Shailesh Matiyani, opined – ‘Even though writing on both the worlds – the inner and the outer – Govind Mishra saved himself from the dangers of both realism and romanticism. That way, he comes to belong to the tradition of not so much Jainendra, Ajneya or Nirmal Verma but that of Premchand.’ Having created more than a thousand characters in his fiction, Govind Mishra’s portrayal extends from villages to towns, to cities, to metros, and even to foreign milieus. ‘Few writers have such a big range, ' said Srilal Shukla of Rag Darbari fame. ‘Damn History’ attempts to present in English for the first time, representative stories of the author, selected from more than fifteen collections of his short stories in Hindi, 1965 onwards.

Rabindranath Tagore was a very accomplished poet endowed with supernatural powers of language and expression. He not only wrote poems and songs but also gave music to them. Besides poems, he also wrote essays, memoirs, plays, novels and short stories which were, and still are, appreciated by the old and the young alike. His short stories, which range from innocent, childlike stories like Kabuliwala to detective and social ones, occupy a prominent place in Bangla literature even today. We have tried to present here some of his famous short stories to the best of our ability. Some of these, like Kabuliwala and Samapti (Uphaar in Hindi), have even been made into films. We have tried to maintain the quality and original flavour of these evergreen stories and hope the readers will appreciate and enjoy them.

The invention of the transistor, the earliest computing machines, the World Wide Web and its evolution into the internet marked the high points of this part of the digital revolution. These inventions changed the way people worked, studied, and sought information and entertainment. These inventions transformed entertainment, socialising, commerce, politics, and studies in ways that would hardly have been conceivable a generation ago. The following central stage in the digital revolution was the arrival of mobile devices, beginning with the cellphone in 1973. Eventually, this led to the development of tablets and smartphones, which feature significant integration with the internet and online products and services. This has, in turn, opened up the scope for business, networking – both social and professional – and entertainment as never before. Not surprisingly, a new breed of technology experts and entrepreneurs has sprung up to take advantage of this dynamic new medium. Greatest Digital Revolutionaries offers a brief glimpse into the work, achievements, and plans of individuals who have made significant contributions to e-commerce, information technology, and related fields.

The Truth of Delhi Riots is Unearthing Gradually “As per our plan, on February 24, we called several people and told them how stones, petrol bombs and acid bottles are to be thrown. I shifted my family to another place. At about 1.30 p.m. in the afternoon on February 24, we began pelting stones.” Only those who are not familiar with the real face of the Aam Aadmi Party will be surprised or shocked by the above statements made by the now expelled counsellor Tahir Hussain. The Aam Aadmi Party used its network of people associated with mosques and madarsas and relied on leaders such as Tahir Hussain and Amanat Ulla Khan to bag the Muslim votes in Delhi. In return for the votes, it seems the party granted a specific community a license to consign north-east Delhi to flames. Now that the chargesheet has been finalised by the Delhi Police about the riots that took place in East Delhi, it will be a fallacy to disassociate the riots that took place in places such as Jafrabad, Maujpur, Babarpur, Gokul Puri, Karawal Nagar, Bhajanpura, and Yamuna Vihar from the violence that took place during the anti-CAA protests. The violence that occurred during the anti-CAA protests in places such as Shaheen Bagh, Jamia Nagar, and Seelampur were actually the precursor to a big riot. The riot that took place in the north-east parts of Delhi during US President Donald Trump's visit from February 23-26, 2020. For the violence that was orchestrated during these riots, the work of collecting empty bottles, stones and storing these on the rooftops of houses had begun on February 4. Many people of the Muslim community had filled petrol in their vehicles so that this fuel could later be used for making petrol bombs. In many Muslim families, pamphlets about such riots were distributed with instructions on how to deal with Hindus. It is not rocket science to understand that the Muslim community was already prepared for the riots that broke out in north-east Delhi. Hindus did not get a chance to get their act together. Slowly, the conspiracy behind the riots is unravelling, and the lies perpetrated by the Communist ecosystem are falling flat.
