Download or read book Facing East from Indian Country written by Daniel K. Richter and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning, North America was Indian country. But only in the beginning. After the opening act of the great national drama, Native Americans yielded to the westward rush of European settlers. Or so the story usually goes. Yet, for three centuries after Columbus, Native people controlled most of eastern North America and profoundly shaped its destiny. In Facing East from Indian Country, Daniel K. Richter keeps Native people center-stage throughout the story of the origins of the United States. Viewed from Indian country, the sixteenth century was an era in which Native people discovered Europeans and struggled to make sense of a new world. Well into the seventeenth century, the most profound challenges to Indian life came less from the arrival of a relative handful of European colonists than from the biological, economic, and environmental forces the newcomers unleashed. Drawing upon their own traditions, Indian communities reinvented themselves and carved out a place in a world dominated by transatlantic European empires. In 1776, however, when some of Britain's colonists rebelled against that imperial world, they overturned the system that had made Euro-American and Native coexistence possible. Eastern North America only ceased to be an Indian country because the revolutionaries denied the continent's first peoples a place in the nation they were creating. In rediscovering early America as Indian country, Richter employs the historian's craft to challenge cherished assumptions about times and places we thought we knew well, revealing Native American experiences at the core of the nation's birth and identity.

This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by Professor (Dr.) Ashok Rathore compares influence of Christianity on Australian Dreamtime belief and Indian Hinduism (Sanatan Dharm) religion. This is innovative work of theology and sociology with mature understanding of Christianity in two Indian subcontinents and Australian continent. The author has worked in America, Australia, and the Philippines and interacted with people of various faiths and religions (Jews, Christians, freemasons, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Buddhists, Unitarians, atheists, and numerous movements). Being a skeptic, the author always asked this question: where and why do we differ and have different religions, and where do we converge? In the world, with over two billion Christians, why is Christianity so popular worldwide? Why does Christianity remained stagnant at 2.3 percent in India? Whereas Christianity arrived in Australia only 227 years ago from Britain and over 70 percent Aborigines were converted to Christianity. The book evince There is no relative superiority of one religion over another. The world needs is a fellowship of faiths for a common goals for a global ethic which rejects conflict, revenge, aggression and retaliation with the foundation of love. The book is expected to serve as an important component to improve relationship for theologians, biblical scholars of different religions at an international level in both countries so that a common set of core values is found in the teachings and understanding of different religions and this will form the basis of a global ethic as recommended by the 1993 Parliament of the World. India is called the Land of Faith and Religion. One can witness the Indians practicing almost all the religions prevalent in the present world - Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Sikhism and many others (including many movements and cults). Christianity's greatest contribution to our understanding of God is, Jesus of Nazareth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trading business, transmutation of scientific spiritual and metaphysical concepts were carried out between India-China and Europe (specially from Greece and Rome) through silk route or Red-sea. After the rise of Islam and formation of the Ottoman Empire both the routes were closed as the region across Asia-minor to Egypt was falling under the Islamic Ottoman Empire. Serious and hard conditions were imposed on traders and students of Europe going to India for higher education in the field of math, science, astronomy and metaphysics from the Nalanda University. Due to serious conditions imposed by the Ottoman ruler and insecure situation of the route the relation between Europe and India was almost cut off and Europe sank into a deep well of darkness, ignorance and superstitions. During the 15th century there was a big revolution across Europe to reach India by sea route . In 1492 Columbus set out with a fleet of three ships in search of India under supervision of the queen of Spain. Columbus by chance could not reach India but discovered a new big landmass America. But attempts by European sailors continued to reach India by sea route. Portugal sailor Vasco da gama got success in discovering India and he reached India on 14th May 1498 to Calicut port of present Kerala. After the success of Vasco da gama there was serious competition between sailors of Holland, England, France and other European countries.to discover India and Indian Ocean landmasses. In this context the Dutch sailor Tasman achieved a distinguished success in discovering another big landmass in the Indo pacific region and gave it a new name "New Holland" . This "New Holland" became" Australia" of England after the arrival of captain James Cook in 1770 and annexation by Arthur Philip in 1788. Australia became the last episode of the India discovery series started by European courageous sailors..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoroughly absorbing, must-read examination of why Australia's relationship with India might hold the key to our future, by federal MP Andrew Charlton The time has come for Australia and India to forge closer ties – and reap the benefits. But will Australia seize the opportunity? India is on the rise to become the next global superpower, with a population expected to be larger than the United States and China combined by 2050. For Australia, as the world grows more volatile, India has emerged as a new geopolitical partner offering hope for a more secure and balanced Indo-Pacific region. Australian cities are full of thriving 'Little Indias' created by a rapidly growing Indian diaspora estimated to become the largest migrant group in the nation in just over two decades. In Australia's Pivot to India, Andrew Charlton provides an authoritative analysis of Australia's relationship with India, explains why now is the time to seize the opportunity for collaboration and cooperation, and outlines a vision for the Australia–India partnership that will enhance Australia's security and prosperity in the twenty-first century. He argues that both Indians and Australians have an outdated view of each other, trapped in decades-old stereotypes and misunderstandings. Lively, thought-provoking and timely, Australia's Pivot to India is the go-to source for anyone interested in Australia–India relations, India's role in reshaping the global order and the impact this will have on Australia's future.
