Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bangalore is looked at in depth in Supriya Baily's exploration of one of India’s most dynamic cities. Booklist praises the book, saying, "This deeply researched book is especially timely in light of recent gender-based violence in India.” Through the stories of a group of school girls in what used to be India’s most progressive city, Bangalore Girls reveals how the freedom women once enjoyed in the “Silicon Valley of India” has been eroded by the rising tide of right-wing nationalism, misogyny, and religious fundamentalism. Author Supriya Baily explores one of India’s most dynamic cities through the eyes of a group of women who grew up and went to school together in the late 1980s and early 1990s. As they enjoyed the trappings of a burgeoning middle class, these classmates also watched their country move to the right politically and socially, spurred on by the Ayodhya riots that tore down the Babri Masjid Mosque in 1992 and the sectarian violence that followed—a Hindu nationalist tide that continues to rise today. The book offers us a window into these women’s lives and shows us how they are responding to the breakdown of progressivism across multiple domains. They discuss not only their own safety and the educational opportunities and challenges confronting their families; they also talk about such society-wide issues as anti-Muslim sentiment, the backlash against science, and the dangers of independent thinking. Baily gives voice to their worries about political cults of personality and government policies that seek to marginalize and ostracize anyone who speaks out against the authorities, but especially women. As Indian prime minister Narendra Modi now consecrates the new Ram Temple in Ayodhya, it has never been more important to understand the wave of nationalism that began in 1992. The stories of these women told by Supriya Baily are a must-read tale of extremism’s threat to women’s rights and human rights.

Book excerpt: It may not be obvious why someone like myself would write my memoir. I am not a famous person. I am not a professional athlete. I am not a politician. I am not even known in my local area of North Carolina. I do not fit into any of these typical categories of autobiographical writers. However, as in most people, I have a story to tell that is unique from many and common to some. We all have stories that people can relate to and sympathize with, if only we just tell them. I find a great relief when I learn that others have survived similar struggles that I am going through. I am living proof that it is possible to live through many things and come out the other side a better person...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the Christian concept of grace anathema to the social structure of merit-making found in Buddhist karmic communities? Are all Buddhist forms of merit-making purely for religious purposes to assuage cosmic consequences or are there other reasons? Are there not Christian churches who operate under a legalistic view of God's divine wrath and are in essence living as karmic communities of the Christian type? The result of discussions about these and other questions is the volume you now hold in your hand. SEANET proudly presents what is number 14 in its series of missiological reference texts, Gift and Duty: Where Grace and Merit Meet. Each of the ten authors presented here represent a particular perspective, both Christian and Buddhist, that can inform the other. The goal of this volume is to lead to a deeper understanding of the significance of diverse religious and cultural perspectives.

Download or read book Being Brahmin Being Modern written by Ramesh Bairy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is clearly an academic and political obsession with the ‘idea’ of the Brahmin. There is also, simultaneously, a near-complete absence of engagement with the Brahmin as an embodied person or community. This book addresses this intriguing paradox by making available a sociological description of the Brahmins in today’s Karnataka. It pursues three distinct, yet enmeshed, registers of inquiry – the persona of the ‘Brahmin’ embodied in the agency of the individual Brahmin; the organised complexes of action such as the caste association and the public culture of print; and finally, taking off from a longer (yet, modern and contemporary) history of non-Brahminical othering of the Brahmin. It argues that we tend to understand the contemporaneity of caste almost exclusively within the twin registers of legitimation–contestation and dominance–resistance. While these facets continue to be salient, there is also a need to push out into hitherto neglected dimensions of caste. The book focuses attention on the many lives of modern caste — its secularisation, the subject positions that it offers, the equivocations by which persons and communities become ‘subjects’ of caste, their differential investments in the caste-self.

In the past five years, it has become one of the most accomplished tech services providers in the world.

From the story of Wipro's transformation and its impact on the tech services industry and the rules of global competition, journalist Hamm mines a treasure of business lessons. He also provides a rare glimpse into the mind of Wipro's charismatic leader, Azim Premji, one of the first business leaders in India to decree that his company would not pay bribes. You'll see how his adoption of world-class business processes helped Wipro thrive--and how Wipro is helping to fulfill his dream of a better educated, more prosperous India.--From publisher description.

This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord’s desire is for all believers to be endued with and demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit to bear witness to who He is. We are to be His witnesses everywhere, and always. The gifts of the Spirit are like our “toolbox,” containing tools given to us to manifest the power of the Holy Spirit, so that the Lord Jesus will be glorified, and people will be touched, ministered to, and transformed, everywhere we go. The Holy Spirit distributes and manifests these gifts as He wills. But as co-workers with Him, we must earnestly desire these gifts and we must learn how to yield, cooperate, and properly release these gifts so that people will be ministered to as He desires, and Jesus will be glorified. Often, because we do not know how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit, we either quench, grieve or even resist His expressions through us. This book is intended to be a simple and easy to use training manual to help believers understand and learn how to flow with the Holy Spirit to release the gifts of the Spirit. The goal is to see believers moving and releasing the gifts of the Spirit regularly, anywhere, and at any time as the Spirit of the Lord moves through them.

Download or read book Being Brahmin Being Modern written by Ramesh Bairy T. S. and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political and academic interest in the idea of the Brahmin notwithstanding, there has been virtually no engagement with the Brahmin as an embodied person or community. This book seeks to address this intriguing paradox in the context of Brahmins in modern-day Karnataka. The book argues that the multivalent worlds of contemporary caste demand that we constantly innovate different modes of approaching it. With this intent, it positions itself against the monographic form and weaves together an ethnography with diverse research techniques such as archival documents, literary works and published writings of caste associations. The Brahmin today, the author argues, cannot be adequately understood as a caste-self that masks its casteness in order to present itself as a secular self. Neither can the Brahmin be seen as a subject that has successfully transcended casteness. As the title of the book suggests, the central tensions that animate the Brahmin self is that of being both Brahmin and modern.
