"The Chittagong Hill Tracts is located in the southeastern part of Bangladesh bordering India s Northeastern region and Arakan province of Myanmar (Burma). It is inhabited by various ethnic groups the most important of which are the Chakmas, the Marmas, the Tripuras and the Mros. Together, they constitute approximately one percent of the population of Bangladesh but on account of their distinct language, ethnicity, religion and social structure, they present a challenge to the integration and development effort of Bangladesh. The Parbattya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samity (PCJSS) the Hill Tracts Peoples Solidarity Association formed in 1972 is the representative body of all the ethnic groups of the region. Very little was known about the various facets of the development process or of the obstacles to development in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The signing of the Peace Accord between the Government of Bangladesh and the PCJSS in December 1997 has created a favourable atmosphere for the development of the region. This study by BRAC is one of the pioneering work to understand the development needs of the Chittagong Hill Tracts." (jacket).

Entertainer-Educators: Humour, Gender and Education in Selected Writings of Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, Lila Majumdar and Nabaneeta Dev Sen/Barnita Bagchi. Index. This volume looks at the life and works of Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain (1880-1932), arguably Bengal s earliest and boldest feminist, revered as a crusader for the emancipation and advancement of women, in particular Bengali Muslim women. Through her spirited writings and her activism, Rokeya challenged the two pillars of patriarchy - hierarchical family structures and religious dogma. She demanded that the family be restructured on the basis of gender equality. A devout Muslim, she asked that women be recognised as human beings in their own right within practices of Islam. Born into an orthodox Muslim family, for Rokeya, the most vital way in which women could empower themselves was through education. The Sakhawat Memorial Girls School in Kolkata, started by Rokeya in 1911, still stands as an enduring testament to that belief. This collection of biographical and critical essays places Rokeya within the socio-cultural and historical context of her times to better appreciate her literary and social contributions in the face of the formidable challenges she faced as a Bengali Muslim woman. The essays also aim to understand why the extraordinary vision she had, not just for women but for an ideal, more gender-just society, continues to be as radical, powerful and relevant today, almost a century after her death. This volume will be a valuable asset to students and scholars of women s and gender studies, as also of South Asian literature and culture.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. The inequalities prevailing in maternal health care services adversely affect the life chances and capabilities of the mothers as well as their children. The prevalence of high rates of miscarriages, stillbirths, congenital diseases, neonatal mortalities, infant mortalities and maternal mortalities necessitate a close scrutiny of the prevailing policies and academic approaches related to the issues. The problems are not merely related to inadequacy of health care facilities or their improper distribution; the approaches of various state governments are themselves redundant and obscure. The volume depicts how skewed obsession of the policy makers and health delivering agencies with bio-medical approach and ignorance towards the interwoven social determinants of health result in adverse health outcomes. Fourteen papers included in the volume study different states of India including Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Manipur from diverse perspectives. The essays offer an appraisal of the reproductive trajectory from pregnancy to childbirth across religious, regional, economic, occupational, ethnic and educational backgrounds. The volume intends to serve the needs of students of sociology, anthropology, social work, social policy, public health, medicine, economics, geography, women studies and all those concerned with these issues.

Zimbabwe proposes to host a Pan-African Minerals University of Science and Technology (PAMUST)/Francis P. Gudyanga (Zimbabwe). Minerals processing and beneficiation is an area of immense potential and growth for all the nations worldwide especially those which are endowed with nature's blessings in the form of abundant mineral resources. Minerals beneficiation is of great economic importance to the mining industry and the countries as a whole. The increasing demand for minerals is likely to increase the growth of infrastructure with rapid industrialization and exploitation of minerals. Unfortunately, these resources are not fully exploited in developing countries due to the lack of advanced skills, modern and innovative research and technology and the new world trade regime. Many minerals are still exported as ores, concentrates or metals, without significant downstream processing or value addition. Therefore there is an urgent need for the policy makers, scientists, technologists, academics and other industry experts to come together and assess ways and means to address the aforementioned skills gap. This publication is a follow up of the International Workshop on 'Minerals Processing and Beneficiation' organised at Johannesburg, South Africa during 25-27 September 2012 by the NAM S&T Centre jointly with the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Republic of South Africa. The book includes 17 scientific and technical papers from the experts and professionals of 16 countries and presents noteworthy insights on the issues related to Mineral Sector to unravel its wide range of possibilities so as to provide a more sustainable foundation for the developing world's transition from a resource enriched condition to an industrial economy. It is hoped that the bo.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. This Book, titled 'Sufism and Indian Spiritual Traditions: An Educational Perspective' aims at the reorientation of Indian Education System with reference to Indian Spiritual Traditions. Education has never been considered in isolation away from the religious and traditional treasure of knowledge in India. It kept on upgrading and uplifting itself by the amalgamation of eccentric and conventional traditions from different cultures through the ages. Whether it is ecstatic dance forms or eclectic musical compositions, whether it is the philosophical strength of Upanishads or humanistic pinnacles of Tirukural, whether it is Sufi ideologies of spiritual splendour or Bhakti devotion of divine disclosures; all contributed Indian Education System with a single aim of making the man by elevating humanitarian aspects through the education of Heart. Indian Education finds its way in the Tattiropnishad's Five Koshas in human body viz. Annamaya, Pranmaya, Manomaya, Vigyanmaya, Anandamaya. All the spiritual Traditions in India aim at the development of these faculties through Education. The present Book is only an effort to understand some dimensions of diversified Spiritual Traditions with reference to Educational perspectives.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The fertile land and abundant wealth of Bengal attracted many conquerors who left their mark on its timeline; some only plundered while others became rulers. Their footprints, similar to the alluvial soil of the Ganges delta, silted up layer upon layer. The harsh climate faded many footprints with time, while a few remained intact. Traces of these layers can be found everywhere in Bengal. With age, some layers got merged, others transformed into something hybrid, while others got lost in time. This complex state led to many interpretations; over time myths converted to facts, misconceptions paved way for more misconceptions. Bengal's story, like many others' around the world, offers scope for invention and reimagining. In this book four Bengal studies scholars challenge the myths and misconceptions about Bengal's past and offer a fresh perspective of the contested facts analyzing its architecture, built environment and cultural heritage. By no means comprehensive, this small attempt still brings new ideas and questions to front which no doubt will spark further investigation. (jacket).
