Soft cover. Zustand: New. When the British imperialists left the Indian subcontinent in 1947, They left behind a legacy of governance based on communal and ethnic polarization. Since then, India has been engulfed by religious and ethnic violence the Partition to the more recent Gujarat riots of 2002 and Delhi riots of 2020.This trajectory is in direct opposition to the ideals of' justice, liberty, equality and fraternity' enshrined in the Indian Constitution. Our increasingly polarized society is now faced with the question: will India follow the ethnic nationalist route that seems to be becoming a global phenomenon? reconciling difference is the attempt of a concerned citizen and scholar to understand the nature of hate and violence prevalent in India, and find practical ways to restore peace and harmony. In his analysis, Rudolf C. Heredia urges citizens to seek frameworks beyond retributive justice. He suggests returning to the Gandhian ideas of non-violence and compassionate order to repair the fraying fabric of our society. And recalls Nehru ideas of a pluralist and inclusive India, as well as Ambedkar's idea of the Republic in order to restore the country damaged Polity. Finally, drawing inspiration from the truth and justice Commission set up in post-apartheid South Africa, he urges consistent and reflective dialogues between polarized citizens in order to heal past wounds of collective violence. thoughtful, dialogic and painstakingly researched, reconciling difference is a book every citizen interested in preserving the secular and democratic ideals of India must read.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This monograph focuses on education and development in a well defined taluka of Maharashtra. But the issues and concerns that preoccupy this action research are not unique to this area, nor is the developmental process here untypical of the mainstream in this country. The crisis of education in India demands nothing less than a restructuring of the formal school in a new institutional model. However, it would of course be naive to expect a total restructuring with all the vested interests that have now coalesced around the educational system. But small innovations and creative responses on a minor scale now, can make larger changes and structural transformation possible later. For this, more micro-level analysis is needed particularly with regard to the school-community linkages. This was the original inspiration of the action-research undertaken here. This study undertakes a twofold investigation: the impact of the school on the students and how it can be adapted to their culture; and the influence of the school on the community and how it can be adjusted to its needs. The participatory method used involves a three-way comparison between mission, government and other private schools, made at three levels: the individual, (students, parents, teachers.), the school, and the community. In anyalyzing the mismatch between formal educational institutions and tribal life, this study points to a fourfold isolation that must be overcome: the community within society, the school within the community, the pupil within the classroom, and the teacher within the education system. The initiatives and innovations being recommended in this study will certainly meet with resistance. For in the final analysis, education is 'an arena of struggle' in society, and an unequal one at that, in which like other such struggles, the weak are driven to the wall, unless something positive is done to even out their handicap and integrate them more equitably in the system.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: Today religious extremism and fundamentalism is whipping up another wave of terror that seems unbalanced and uncontrollable. We need to step back from the brink with a determined religious disarmament, not to dismiss or negate religion but to disarm and discard the aggression and violence of those that who indulge in, and those who seek to contain this religiously inspired madness. Religious conversion is an unavoidable stumbling block for any aspiration for religious harmony, for any real hope of true religious understanding, both of which are so essential to contain a potentially divisive diversity. Extremism on either side leaves little room for a middle ground of sanity and common sense. There are exclusive positions that negate such a possibility. Inclusive positions too can have their problems when they absorb other differences, leaving little room for distinctiveness. We need a starting position, and we cannot avoid beginning from where we are, within our own perspectives and commitments. We must engage at this level if we are to repair the damage of the past, to heal old wounds and make anew our future. As we claim our common humanity, we open ourselves to discovering together a richness and depth that we could never have alone. Conversion is a complex and emotionally charged issue. Fundamentalists of all hues exploit it, liberals confuse it, many do not really comprehend what all the fuss is about, and many more just do not want to get involved. However, especially in a multicultural, plurireligious society like ours, it is a problem that cannot be wished away. For like it or not, we are all in some way involved. In today's surcharged context of minoritybashing and anticonversion laws, of majoritarian politics and minority votebanks, the issues implied get more explosive everyday. Sooner rather than later we must grasp the nettle. But if discretion is the better part of valour, then besides courage we will need discernment to disentangle the complications and sort out the confusion, to wrest the discussion from all those who use religion for chauvinistic or egotistic, extremist or obscurantist purposes. About The Author: Rudolf C. Heredia has his doctorate in sociology from the University of Chicago (1979). He taught sociology at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, was the founder director of the Social Science Centre, the director, department of research at the Indian Social Institute, Delhi, edited the institute's journal, Social Action and been a research fellow there.
