Download or read book Handbook for India Tour written by Omkar Nath Nandi and published by Omkar Nath Nandi. This book was released on 2022-09-07 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing a book on travel is not easy as the writer need to experience the places through personally travelling or listening or reading the experiences. I have not yet been able to do anyone of that, so I am creating a guidebook of the places of India. It will help the travelers to find places in different states and tourist destinations near important cities. I have tried to create a table of hill stations of India in this guide, along with the religious tourist destinations. These will help travelers with different objectives to visit places of their interest. I am not adding any images in this guide, hoping traveler themselves to build it for them. I am asking to forgive me if I am wrong in explaining any place or destination or location. And would love to update the same when I bring out detailed travel experiences in future.

Book excerpt: This volume brings together multidisciplinary, situated and nuanced analyses of contingent issues framing a rapidly changing India in the 21st century. It moves beyond the ready dichotomies that are often extended to understand India as a series of contrasts and offers new insights into the complex realities of India today, thereby enabling us to anticipate the decades to come. The editors focus on three major themes, each discussed in a section: The first section, Framing the Macro-Economic Environment, defines the framework for interrogating globalisation and socio-economic changes in India over the last few decades of the 20th century spiraling into India in the 21st century. The next section, Food Security and Natural Resources, highlights critical considerations involved in feeding a burgeoning population. The discussions pose important questions in relation to the resilience of both people and planet confronting increasingly unpredictable climate-induced scenarios. The final section, Development, Activism and Changing Technologies, discusses some of the social challenges of contemporary India through the lens of inequalities and emergent activisms. The section concludes with an elaboration of the potential and promise of changing technologies and new social media to build an informed and active citizenry across existing social divides.
