At the end of the Second World War, a Historical Section was set up, under the Ministry of Defence, to write a detailed history of war, with particular reference to the operations conducted by the Armed Forces of undivided India. After the partition of the country in 1947, this section continued as a joint organization of India and Pakistan and was designated as the Combined Inter Services Historical Section (India and Pakistan). The CIS Historical Section compiled 25 volumes until it was wound up in 1963. Meanwhile, a separate section called historical section (India) was set up in 1953 for compiling the history of post-partition military operations of the Indian Armed Forces. This section was also meant to supply information on military history and allied subjects to the Ministry and the three Services headquarters. Subsequently a heraldic cell was created within the Section to advise the Ministry and the Armed Forces on Ceremonial matters. Since its inception in 1953, the Historical Section has brought out fifteen publications. In view of the growing responsibility of the section, it was redesignated as the history division on April 1, 1992. The History Division also serves as a record, research and reference office of the Ministry of Defence and three Services Headquarters. Officers of the Indian Armed Forces and research scholars often visit the Division to consult records of military importance. The division also assists various units of Armed Forces in compiling their histories. (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The Indian Economy, during the era of globalization, has been undergoing rapid changes in various issues particularly human resource generation and its relation with the development of higher education. The book "Human Resource Development and Higher Education: Quality and Management" is based on such issues. A large number of delegates participated in the seminars and presented their papers. Out of those papers as good as 20 papers have been finally selected for the book. Thematically, these papers are arranged into 2 sections: I. Human Resource Development Issues and II. Higher Education-Quality and Management Issues. Therefore, an analysis of the quality and management of these resources as well as an evaluation of the higher education system of the country that has been operational over the last two decades would help us to realize our challenges and opportunities ahead.

Mit der Gründung eines Stützpunktes der Britischen Ostindien-Kompanie im Jahr 1690 wurde Kalkutta zu einem Zentrum des britischen Besitzes in Indien. Bis 1911 war Kalkutta die Hauptstadt Britisch-Indiens. Heute ist Kalkutta Industriestadt, Verkehrsknoten und Kulturzentrum mit Universitäten, Theatern, Kinos, Museen und Galerien.

(Quelle Wikipedia) ----- Pratapaditya Pal is an Indian scholar of Southeast Asian and Himalayan art and culture, specializing particularly in the history of art of India, Nepal and Tibet. He has served as a curator of South Asian art at several prominent US museums including Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago, where he has organized more than 22 major exhibitions and helped build the museums' collection . He has also written over 60 books and catalogs, and over 250 articles on the subject, taught at several universities, and served as the editor of the Indian art magazine, Marg. In 2009 he was awarded Padma Shri by the Government of India for his contributions to the study of Indian art. Pal was born in Bengal, British India and received his early schooling in Shillong, Darjeeling and Calcutta. Studying at the University of Calcutta, he hoped to specialize in anthropology, but the university didn't offer any courses in the area in 1957, and he instead obtained a Master of Arts degree in ancient Indian history and culture. He continued at the university to earn a PhD in the history of Nepali architecture in 1962. He then won a scholarship to Cambridge University, where in 1965 he earned a second PhD in Nepali sculpture and painting. However he failed to get a teaching job in India, and moved to the US instead. In 1967 Pal was appointed the curator of the Indian art collection at Boston Museum, a position that had previously been held by Ananda Coomaraswamy. In 1969, he moved to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which was then beginning to develop its own collection of Indian art. Pal joined as the head of department of Indian and Islamic art, and subsequently served as the museum's acting director (197980) and as the senior curator of Indian and Southeast Asian art from 1981. Los Angeles Times art writer Suzanne Muchnic described his legacy as building the museum's collection from "a handful of items to about 4,000 pieces, giving LACMA one of the nation's preeminent holdings of Indian and Southeast Asian art." In 1995, Pal was appointed visiting curator of Indian, Himalayan and Southeast Asian Art at The Art Institute of Chicago. He moved to Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, California in 2003.[5] During the mid-1970s Pal had advised Norton Simon on acquiring Asian art for that museum.(Quelle Wikipedia) Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1600.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Starting with the earliest travellers in the 16th century, this volume reviews the cultural legacy of five centuries of Indo-Portuguese contact. Two of the chapters discuss rare manuscripts in Portuguese and Dutch which document the customs and traditions of the people of 16th-century India, particularly Goa. The evolution of Goan church and temple architecture, the typical houses of Goa, and the development of the characteristic covered porch or balcao are examined in detail, as are the richly carved chairs of Indo-Portuguese style. Essays on the Portuguese tenure on the Kerala and Bengal coasts are included. Also documented are the traditional Goan dance-song, the Mando, and the rich culinary heritage for which Goa is justly famous.

The book title Organic Farming and Management of Biotics Stresses is based on Organic Agriculture and sustainable pests and disease management. Sustainable development is the ultimate destination of any program launched by any country at any period of time. Modern agriculture is mostly governed by non renewable energy where billions of chemicals are consumed annually. That is working against natural balance and taking the human society from stable to instable position. Therefore, there is an urgent global need to find an effective alternative to synthetic chemicals and fertilizer use, which can ensure increase in crop yield and at the some time sustain the eco-system in its natural conditions. Organic farming is an agricultural system which aims at utilization of the land in a way that the soil is kept dynamic with living activities and in good health, at the same time keeping the environment clean, maintaining the ecological balance and providing stability to the production level without polluting soil, water and air. The matter of the book has divided into two parts i.e. Organic Agriculture and Management. In the part of organic agriculture gives adequate information about history, scope issues, challenges constraint and prospects of organic farming in India as well as in the world, role of humans and bio-fertilizer in organic farming. Second part of book gives details idea about management strategies of pest and disease in organic farming using bio-agents vasicular arbascular mycorrhiza, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria plant product vermi cimpost etc. The wide range of issues discussed in this book which will provide new informations to the all readers regarding organic agriculture and innovative disease management strategies. This book will be helpful for graduate and post graduate students of agriculture for various competitive examinations with agriculture as a subject.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Manabendranath Roy (1887-1954) the founder of the Indian Communist Party in exile, is undoubtedly, India's foremost revolutionary theorist. His life was an unending quest for freedom - first from the colonial yoke, then under the influence of Marxism, 'wage slavery', and in his last years, from anything that stunts the immense potential of the individual and prevents him from being a free agent in history. A citizen of the world, he took active part in the emancipatory struggles in India, Mexico, revolutionary Russia and China during their crucial years. His writings, astonishing in their scope and vitality, were written in five major languages of the West - English, French, Spanish, German and Russian. This collection, for the first time, seeks to present the entire range of his essential writings - from the stormy Mexico days to the wider vision of the humanistic phase when he was striving to go beyond communism without sacrificing the revolutionary legacy of Marxism.
