Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Nearly one in every twelve humans is a young Indian for whom meaningful education is of critical importance. A good education will not only help our youth get jobs and build fulfilling careers, it will also lead to the widening of our collective imagination and the shaping of the way we think; for all… these reasons it ought to be an important concern of our time. Unfortunately, this is not the case. There is a lack of infrastructure, adequate funding and genuine autonomy within educational institutions, departments within those institutions, and individuals who teach in those departments. And this is not all. There is also the question of the nature of knowledge that is relevant to our rapidly modernizing country that needs to be dealt with. If knowledge is the core of education and if education lays the very foundation of a nation, the author argues that it is of critical importance that the plight of educational institutions and the need to generate knowledge appropriate to India are addressed without any delay. Original and profound, this book offers a clear picture of the mistakes that have been committed in the past, confronts the present decline of knowledge and education in the country and offers a vision for the future.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Sanskrit has long been celebrated as one of the building blocks of Indian civilization, and is venerated in temples, scriptures, and classical literature. In Language of the Immortals, renowned scholar and critic G. N. Devy uncovers the astounding paradox of Sanskrit—an ancient language that shaped India…n thought, philosophy, and identity for millennia, yet was never truly a language of the people. With rigorous scholarship, Devy dismantles enduring myths and offers a revealing commentary on Sanskrit's historical and cultural trajectory. He shows how it achieved unsurpassed prestige not through conquest or commerce, but sheer intellectual brilliance. He explores the way in which Sanskrit shaped intellectual life across centuries, influenced cultures beyond India, and maintained its prestige through the oral tradition and spiritual symbolism rather than the patronage of the state. This concise yet profound work reimagines what it means for a language to live on—long after it has ceased to be spoken.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Introduction. 1. Countering violence. 2. Kikiyario: Adivasi voice and violence. 3. The birth of Dakshinayan: Indian writers in resistance. Postscript. Index. The Industrial Revolution and the resulting dependence on machine production led to a large-scale tendency towards violence…. Mechanised wars, colonisation and globalisation have given violence and greed supreme importance in human thought and action. As a result, what was considered terrible violence even a few decades ago has now become a normal part of human life. Countering Violence presents a philosophical understanding of the sources of violence. It brings together the author s journal accounts of tribal riots in western India in the aftermath of the Gujarat riots of 2002, and the recent resistance movement of writers and artists, called Dakshinayan. It stresses the importance of a fearless and non-violent response to the dark clouds of hatred, intimidation and violence. The essays in this book are a result of the author s deep engagement with thought and action related to the question of non-violence. An important statement on violence and constructive action , the book holds out the hope that reading it might strengthen the reader s resolve to make this world less violent.

A selection of conversations, lectures, and philosophical and biographical essays that look at the significance of the polyphony of human voices that are fast vanishing with the advance of civilisation, the place of silence in the making of meaning, and of language itself in the future of knowledge, The Question of Silence is an insightful and thought-provoking meditation on the many silences confronting us in today s world. The most widely perceived aspect of silence is that which is forced upon subjugated and marginalised peoples, genders, tongues, cultures and nations. The rapid loss of natural languages and with them entire bodies of thought, knowledge, ways of seeing and being is the other disturbing phenomenon. By engaging with these questions, the author shows us possible ways in which we can collectively negotiate with such silences , and the consequences they entail for the human consciousness, the human race, and the very idea of being human. By way of answers are inspiring vignettes from a lifetime of work: the making of the unprecedented People s Linguistic Survey of India, the Bhasha Centre at Baroda, the Adivasi Academy at Tejgad, and the motivation behind them. The book also offers a candid, close and personal at times delightfully wry look at the making of G. N. Devy as he takes us through his childhood, school and college years, and his later life as a man in search of himself. This is an eclectic and richly rewarding journey into our world, with one of the most influential public intellectuals of our times. (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. In India, kingdoms and dynasties have come and gone, religious sects have formed and dissolved, schools of philosophy have come together and subsequently been replaced by others, yet the Mahabharata has never ceased to excite the Indian imagination. The sheer volume of commentaries on the Mahabharata is…awe-inspiring. So, what is it in the Mahabharata that gives it its timeless magic? Is it the mythical characters with which it is replete that makes the epic so enchanting? Or is it the great wealth of philosophical and metaphysical ideas in it that dazzles its audiences? Or could it be a combination of all these that makes it ever-fascinating to scholars and readers around the world? And, most of all, what accounts for its incredible effect on the subconscious of millions of Indians through several generations? Translated into numerous languages, including Marathi, Kannada, Assamese, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati, Bengali, and Malayalam, Mahabharata: The Epic and the Nation answers many of these questions surrounding the Mahabharata and why it remains, undisputedly, one of India's national epics.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. India's spectacular linguistic diversity is one of its most defining characteristics as a civilization. The complex trajectory of our languages is intertwined with the evolution of the Indian identity, imagination, and intellectual history. Our languages are a repository of human ideas and experiences ac…ross millennia and remain at the core of intense deliberations on what constitutes the 'idea of India'. Yet to map their evolution is a monumental endeavourthe number of languages to have existed and the ones that continue to be in use are far too many to determine a particular point of origin or reconstruct the story in its entirety. In this path-breaking book, celebrated academic and intellectual G. N. Devy lays bare the mysteries and intricacies of India's linguistic past, present, and future. The evolution of language is set against the larger historical canvas of human progress, and gives due weight to the influences of migration, agriculture, newer patterns of settlement, formation of religious sects, cultural resistance, and centuries of British colonialization on the shaping of our linguistic heritage. The book also engages with language, identity, and political consciousness, and underscores the significance of collective responsibility in preserving endangered languages of indigenous and marginalized communities. The author studies memory and oral practices as tools of linguistic creativity and as essential components of Indian knowledge and learning systems that have been overshadowed by the written word. And importantly, the book addresses the battle between technological advancement and dialogue and diversity and explores pathways to prevent the loss of both unclassified dialects and minor languages as well as the literary and philosophical traditions of major ones. Timely and profound, India: A Linguistic Civilization is an ambitious study that celebrates the rich tapestry of Indian languagesa fitting rejoinder to majoritarian ideologies that threaten our vibrant multiculturalism.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. 1. Introduction. 2. Tamil. 3. Telugu. 4. Malayalam. 5. French. 6. Cultural and Spiritual Aspects of Puducherry. Index. The People s Linguistic Survey of India tries to give an idea of the extant and dying languages of India. It is the outcome of a nationwide survey of lan…guages that has been documented by linguists, writers, social activists, and members of different speech communities. This volume presents to the reader the multiethnic, multicultural and multilingual nature of the Union Territory of Puducherry and the history and the status of the languages in Puducherry. Formerly known as Pondicherry, Puducherry has been greatly influenced by French culture and language which can still be seen in the wide use of French in the region. The Union Territory comprises four small unconnected districts-Puducherry, Karaikal, Yanam and Mahe. Each region has its dominant language as the local official language (Tamil in Puducherry and Karaikal, Malayalam in Mahe and Telugu in Yanam). This volume also highlights the spiritual identity of the region.
