Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The India and the World: Shame and Uncertainty has mainly depicted issues like social, political, economic, poverty, illiteracy, lack of health facilities, insecurity, violence, corruption, indiscriminate armaments, environment pollution, hunger, etc., in India and the world nations, written in the last two and half years. Articles and essays have gone in details about what is happening in India and the globe. Exploitation of poor, downtrodden, and weaker sections of society have been highlighted. Important features of the book are indifference of world nations toward burning issues in the respective countries and also issues of concern throughout the globe. Compassion, peace, and nonviolence have become nobodys concern in India and the globe, and these issues have been kept on the back burner! Notably one thing is very common in the worldthat is the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Shamelessly shameful activities have taken the drivers seat. Everywhere in all the countries, uncertainties prevailit appears that these important issues have little or no priority among elite and political classes ruling the respective nations of the world. General people are helpless and ruling elites are indifferent. Almost all nations are threatened with the so-called terrorism or militant fanaticism, which appear to have adopted militancy because of exploitation and hate campaign against them or their brothers and sisters or their nations in the world. World nations have made terrorism, extremism, and militancy into big hoaxes. Instead of finding solutions, world nations and their political rulers, as well as others, are blaming each other for these hoaxes. Last but not the least, the entire world nations and their people are in the grip of uncertainty and serious threat because of man-made miseries in destroying the environment. Because of unethical and unprincipled pressure on the earth, the earth is itself threatened to bear the burden of man-made destruction of the nature and natural wealth. Thus the earth is under tremendous pressure of sins of the people of the globe!

Download or read book The 1947 Partition of British India written by Leaning, Jennifer and published by SAGE Publishing India. This book was released on 2022-07-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1947 Partition of British India remains the largest instance of forced migration in the recorded human history. Despite the passage of time, it is still widely seen as a process of singular distress and sorrow. Yet, for those in the subcontinent, the Partition also offers a process of self-exploration for subsequent generations. This book is the first collection of chapters related to the Partition studies wherein experts of various disciplines from the three major modern nation-states affected by this cataclysm - Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan - have closely collaborated to develop a nuanced assessment of the Partition as active in the present. The book casts a somber yet uplifting light on the enormous challenges the Partition imposed on societies struggling to emerge from generations of colonial rule into a post-war world depleted of resources and a future of uncertain prospects.
