It won’t be an exaggeration to say that like the protagonist, Pelagea Nilovana of the famous novel ‘The Mother’ of the great Russian Writer Maxim Gorki, Ram Asari, despite being uneducated woman also emerged as a lustrous idol of a woman of strong will and feelings. The only difference in between them is that where Nilovana is a face of radicalization, Ram Asari is a symbol of affection and selflessness. With a hope, kindled in her mind, she did hard labour to raise her Munna as a personage and in this pursuit she ultimately loses the race of her own life. This is such an affectionate story that there could hardly be any reader who won’t shed tears from the core of his/her heart by reading this book.

Download or read book Ishopanishad written by Ranjan Kumar Singh and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ishopanishad: Call for Equality and Equilibrium holds up a venerable scripture and views it from an innovative perspective. While the traditional approach to reading and interpreting this poetic work has focused upon a spiritual exploration of its message, author Ranjan Kumar Singh looks at the Ishopanishad from a secular perspective. By virtue of this original path, the author embraces an understanding of equality, not just predating but also prefiguring the notion of equality that emerged more than two millennia later from the works of Thomas More and Karl Marx and found expression in the systems of socialism and communism. Ishopanishad: Call for Equality and Equilibrium explores the connection between socialism and the Ishopanishad, which sketches, maybe for the first time, the outlines of a benevolent state with a classless society of volunteers administered in accordance with their own moral code rooted in the ideals expressed in the scripture. Whether you have made the Ishopanishad the focus of your reflection for some time or find yourself drawn to this topic for the first time, the present book offers a unique and contemporary journey into the heart of the poetic text that is ancient and yet inspiring as it asks us to work tirelessly throughout the life.

This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the intersection of Indian society, the encoding of post-millennial modernity and ‘ways of seeing’ through the medium of Indian graphic narratives. If seeing in Indian cultures is a mode of knowing then what might we decode and know from the Indian graphic narratives examined here? The book posits that the ‘seeing’ of post-millennial Indian graphic narratives revolves around a visuality of the inauspicious, complemented by narratives of the same. Examining both form and content across nine Indian, post-millennial graphic narratives, this book will appeal to those working in South Asian visual studies, cultural studies and comics-graphic novel studies more broadly.

Book excerpt: The Other Country brings together a wide-ranging selection of essays by Mrinal Pande; one of India’s most respected journalists. Through chronicle; anecdote and hard-hitting reportage; Mrinal traces the many; ever-widening fault lines between Bharat and shining India; the small town and the metropolis. Mrinal describes the Great Language Divide between Hindi and English; traces its origin; the role globalization has had in its spread; and the effect of this divide on contemporary literature and media. She vividly describes the anti-outsider movement in Mumbai and analyses the role that inequitable development; and the lack of opportunities in villages and small towns; has played in it. Mrinal tells the story of Prabha Devi of Tehri; Uttarakhand; who picked up scissors and comb to become village barber in the face of opposition and thus came to represent the enormous change in attitudes and stances that are now sweeping Indian society everywhere. And through a hilarious profile of the Mineral Water Baba of Faridabad; who can heal any ailment with a sealed bottle of mineral water; she analyses one of the big issues facing India’s villages and metropolises: its water-management systems.
