Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Theoretical Perspective of Natural Disasters. 3. Vulnerability and Risk Analysis in Uttarakhand. 4. Profile of Area. 5. Rationale, Objectives and Research Methodology. 6. Natural Disasters and Widowhood. 7. Sulabh Movement and Social Transformation. 8. Conclusio…n and Suggestions. India is one of the world s major theatres of disasters, both natural and human-induced. India s geo-climatic conditions as well as its high degree of socio-economic vulnerability make it one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. Over last three decades, the country has witnessed 431 major disasters resulting in enormous loss of life and property. The country is highly vulnerable to floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, landslides, avalanches and forest fires. The newly created state of Uttarakhand has a large chunk of geographical area under the Himalayan ecosystem which is prone to earthquakes, flash floods, landslides, forest fires and road accidents. The flash flood which was followed by land sliding in June 2013, devastated the whole economy of the state. The study calls for imperative need of sustainable and socially responsible development in the context of rampant urbanization, deforestation, unregulated tourism activities, construction of hydropower projects and growing demand of scant resources. Policymakers need to address these crucial issues for prevention and mitigation of natural disasters in the state. The study highlights theoretical perspectives on disasters, its prevention and mitigation along with assessment of vulnerability and risks in the context of Uttarakhand state. It further highlights the contribution of Sulabh International Social Service Organisation in rehabilitation and reconstruction of disaster affected areas in Dewali village panchayat in Rudraprayag district. It also provides in-depth analysis of profile and rehabilitation of widows of this natural calamity of 2013. It is expected that the book will be highly useful in understanding the dynamics of development and natural disasters. It demonstrates the imperative need of sustainable development in keeping the right balance among the three pillars of ecology, environment and development. (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Status of Widows in India. 3. Socio-Cultural Profile of Universe. 4. Research Methodology. 5. Social Reform Movements. 6. Conditions of Widows and Social Change. 7. Social Security and Rehabilitation. 8. Conclusion and Recommendations. This heart-wrenching book…on widows in contemporary India delves into multiple forms of material and emotional deprivation including a most oppressive kind of renunciation forced on the widows living in Varanasi and Vrindavan. Seeing the things from the suffering women s perspective, it questions the exclusivity of their renunciatory life prescribed by the Hindu Dharmashastras. Among other things, this work argues powerfully that the widows need a measure of social security for their sheer material survival, as they have for long been subjected to humiliation, neglect and blatant exploitation. In spite of modern India s constitutional provisions which grant equal rights to women, a large section of these women continue to suffer due to the heterogeneous and hierarchical nature of our social structure based on most glaring forms of socio-economic inequalities. The plight of widows is very pathetic because of the longstanding hold of orthodoxy, obscurantism and superstitious beliefs. Besides cruel frustrations of widowhood, the widows suffer from severe social, economic and cultural deprivations. Concerned with social and economic conditions of widows and their dependent children, this empathetic study seeks to understand: What are the overwhelming problems of widows? Do the widows think that widowhood has affected their social life in a cruel way? How do the widows cope with the changing times and changing society? Besides providing insight into the socio-psychological aspects of widowhood, this study investigates the people s attitude towards the widows and their own self-image. The book also elucidates and suggests ways and means to be adopted by the state, civil society organizations and the people as a whole in order to change the mindset of the widows and reorient them to take life in their own hands instead of being passive beneficiaries of others charities.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Environmental Sanitation and Eradication of Scavenging in India is a comprehensive sociological treatise based on extraordinary research by Bindeshwar Pathak. The book presents an in-depth understanding of the evolution of sanitation movement coupled with an account of a social awakening for… the emancipation of manual scavengers, formerly known as 'untouchables', who faced severe discrimination as they belonged to the lowest stratum of India's caste-based society. It attempts at a comprehensive critique of the policies and programme of environmental sanitation and liberation of scavengers. In the overall context of environmental sanitation and eradication of scavenging, it basically aims at studying the historical context in which scavenging originated and developed; examining its linkages with ecology, health, hygiene and environmental sanitation; probing into various reformative and rehabilitative measures undertaken by a good number of social reformers, voluntary action groups, Governmental and international agencies for the liberation and social up-gradation of scavengers; analyzing the policies, programme and problems of low-cost sanitation schemes by Central and State governments; underscoring the pioneering efforts of Sulabh International and its outstanding achievements in the field of environmental sanitation and eradication of scavenging; describing and discussing the relevance of sanitation movement in the liberation of scavengers and the linkages of the liberation programme to the improvement in environmental sanitation; presenting an overarching view of the constraints in the implementation of policies envisioning a better environmental sanitation scenario and a brighter future for the scavengers; and finally, furnishing a sociological perspective on all important dimensions of environmental sanitation and eradication of scavenging in India It also provides a definitive account of the ideas behind the invention of a two-pit toilet technology that eventually led to the creation and growth of the prestigious social organisation Sulabh International. Sulabh toilets later became a household name in India, and its designs are recognised as globally accepted solution to the problems and challenges of providing affordable toilets to the millions of people around the world. The United Nations for Human Settlements has recognised Sulabh toilets as "cost effective and appropriate sanitation system". It was also accepted by the Government of India, UNICEF, World Bank UNDP, WHO, etc. The book presents a comprehensive perspective on the sanitation and eradication of scavenging in India, with the solution on how to holistically tackle them by combining political and administrative will, community participation and use of affordable technology.

The objective of this National Conference was to hold a comprehensive dialogue with academia, administrators, technocrats and civil society to conceptualize the complex social and environmental issues, and to undertake an incisive perspective on futuristic goals and paradigm.

About The Author: Dr Bindeshwar Pathak is a great humanist and social reformer of contemporary India. He has the vision of a philosopher and the undying zeal of a missionary. He is the icon of sanitation and social reform who has made a difference in the lives of millions of people. He has identified himself with the problems of the untouchables. Dr. Pathak's multipronged efforts in bringing scavengers, worst victims of institutionalized caste discrimination and engaged in subhuman occupation, in the mainstream of national life, have taken the shape of a movement for social justice. Moreover, he has developed and implemented on panIndian scale a lowcost and appropriate toilet technology (popularly known as the Sulabh Shauchalaya System) recommended as a Global Best Practice. He has created a new culture which embraces the poor and extols the dignity of labour. He is the leader of an international crusade for restoration of human rights and dignity to millions of scavengers (cleaners and carriers of human excreta), traditionally known as untouchables; and for providing safe and hygienic human waste disposal system which can benefit 700 million Indians who go for open defecation. Apart from low cost sanitation, his contributions are widely known in the areas of bioenergy and bio fertiliser, liquid and solid waste management, poverty alleviation and integrated rehabilitation programme for the liberated scavengers. In fact, he is a Renaissance Man and combines in himself the traits of a social scientist, an engineer, an administrator and an institutionbuilder. Thus, he is fulfilling the dreams of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. Contents: Preface List of Contributors 1. Sociology of Sanitation Bindeshwar Pathak 2.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Mahatma Gandhi as never seen before - unless you knew him personally ! The book introduces to the reader the life and work of the historic figure of Mahatma Gandhi through rare images and archival material. In a monumental effort GandhiServe India collected Gandhi's photographs from sources…allover and did extensive research on the captions, too. In an interdisciplinary project, Gandhi scholars, historians, photo experts and graphic designers joined hands in order to turn black and white photographs into colour images, thus making them true documents of history. After scanning, all photographs have been cleaned digitally and colourized by skilled Indian hands according to the historic settings. When the photographs were taken the actual colourful scenes were reduced to black and white photographs due to technical limitations of those days. Now, in a complex process Indian experts have added the missing colours. With this the intention was not to manipulate or adulterate pictures but to bring them closer to the colourful image the photographs documents. Except those who were lucky enough to meet Gandhi personally, the world has never seen him as natural and sharp as in this book. The colours add another dimension to the photographs and reduce the distance between viewer and photograph. The book is of A3 size and weighs 6.5 kg. It contains the oldest known photograph of Gandhi as well as many rare and yet unpublished photographs. On 692 pages the book covers his whole life in detail by 1281 photographs, cartoons, newspaper clippings, select letters and maps. This coffee table book provides an insight in Gandhi's thoughts by select quotations about 37 subjects that were dear to the Apostle of Nonviolence. His life is documented also by way of a well-written biography and a detailed chronology in the appendix. The foreword has been written by eminent sociologist and social reformer, Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, the founder of Sulabh Sanitation Movement, who also contributed an article about his life and mission in the appendix of the book. The rare photographs include a unique snapshot of a protest march Gandhi undertook in South Africa in 1913 and his attendance at the appendicitis operation of his granddaughter Manu in the operation theatre.
