Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. This collection of essays addresses the neglected issues of space, border and statelessness in international politics and contributes a much needed 'view from the South'. Importantly, it asserts that chasms created by borders (including those between India and Pakistan) can be bridged by dialogue, a little analyzed tool in international relations.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. In Amma's Healing Room is a compelling study of the life and thought of a female Muslim spiritual healer in Hyderabad, South India. Joyce Burkhalter Flueckiger describes Amma's practice as a form of vernacular Islam arising in a particular locality, one in which the boundaries between Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity are fluid. In the "healing room," Amma meets a diverse clientele that includes men and women, Muslim, Hindu, and Christian, of varied social backgrounds, who bring a wide range of physical, social, and psychological afflictions. Flueckiger collaborated closely with Amma and relates to her at different moments as daughter, disciple, and researcher. The result is a work of insight and compassion that challenges widely held views of religion and gender in India and reveals the creativity of a tradition often portrayed by Muslims and non-Muslims alike as singular and monolithic.

"Why does philosophy give some people a headache, others a real buzz and yet others a feeling that it is subversive and dangerous? Why do a lot of people think philosophy is totally irrelevant? What is philosophy anyway? The ABCs of philosophy -- easy to understand but never simplistic. Beginning with basic questions posed by the ancient Greeks: What is the world made of? What is man? What is knowledge? What is good and evil? This guide traces the development of these questions as the key to understanding how western philosophy developed over the last 2,500 years.".

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Contents Preface. 1. Transition of the eighteenth century. 2. British Empire in India. 3. Early Indian responses reform and rebellion. 4. Emergence of Indian nationalism. 5. Early nationalism discontent and dissension. 6. The age of Gandhian politics. 7. Many voices of a nation. 8. Freedom with partition. Postscript. Appendix. Bibliography. Index. More than a survey and much more than a thematically arranged narrative From Plassey to Partition is an eminently readable account of the emergence of India as a nation. It maps a wide and often complicated terrain of historical happenings their main players in groups and as individuals and contexts that enable us to see the formation of a nation through documents of resistance and struggle assimilation and rejection. This story of India's nationhood and political coming of age is rich in empirical detail and accessible interpretation of facts therein. In its eight major divisions covering about two hundred years of political and socio economic turbulence the author retraces the steps of our nationalist longings. On the one hand it converses with students of Indian history and on the other it engages general and curious readers. Few books on this crucial period of history have captured the rhythms of India's polyphonic nationalism as From Plassey to Partition. 524 pp.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Contents: Introduction. 1. The discoveries. 2. Analysis. 3. Discussion. 4. Afterword. Notes. "Archaeology has become implicated in the Ayodhya controversy. It has been claimed that archaeological evidence provides irrefutable proof of the existence of a Rama temple at the site of the Babri Masjid, and the destruction of this temple by Babur. The author uses standard archaeological procedures to question the claim. He examines the structural and artifactual evidence and analyses the stratigraphic information of B.B. Lal's excavations. Exploring possible alternative interpretations of the available data, he concludes that there was no temple of stone or brick lying below the mosque, and that there is no evidence of any act of destruction. "This is a defence of archaeology against its political misuse. A cautious examination of the archaeological evidence reveals a great deal about the working of communal politics. The archaeological discoveries which are supposed to prove the demolition of a Rama temple by Babur actually show no more than the logic of a politics which destroyed the Babri Masjid on 6 December 1992."No. 30112 74 pp.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Contents: Introduction. 1. The prisons we broke. 2. An interview with Baby Kamble. 3. Afterword. Glossary. "Writing on the lives of the Mahars of Maharashtra, Baby Kamble reclaims memory to locate the Mahar society before it was impacted by Babasaheb Ambedkar, and tells a consequent tale of redemption wrought by a fiery brand of social and self-awareness. The Prisons We Broke provides a graphic insight into the oppressive, caste and patriarchal tenets of the Indian society, but nowhere does the writing descend to self-pity. With verve and colour the narrative brings to life, among other things, the festivals, rituals, superstitions, snot-nosed children, hard lives and hardy women of the Mahar community. The original Marathi work, Jina Amucha (serialised in 1982 and published as a book in 1986) re-defined autobiographical writing in Marathi in terms of form and narrative strategies adopted, and the selfhood and subjectivities that were articulated. It is the first autobiography by a Dalit woman in Marathi, probably even the first of its kind in any Indian language.".

Muslims the joker in the democratic pack. 5. Democracy and its impact on citizenship. 6. Democracy and the making of the Indian nation. 7. Elite counter reaction and the turn to the right. 8. Civil society and democracy. 9. Conclusion. Epilogue. From the moment of its birth democracy in India was plagued by a deep anxiety. In 1947 Nehru saw the future as a time to redeem pledges a time to fulfil the hopes that had been aroused during the national struggle. But he was well aware that this was a difficult task. Reforms followed democratic institutions were set up and universal adult Franchise was established. But poverty illiteracy and poor health remained part of the post colonial landscape. Why then do the poor and the malnutrited return in every election to choose their representatives to form the government of their choice. Through an effort to answer this seeming Paradox Alam explores the working of democracy in India. Beneath the play of caste and communal politics and the threats of institutional collapse Alam sees democracy acquiring a firm basis within Indian society. He shows what the voting patterns tells us about the links between regional voices and national unity between the politics of community and the idea of citizenship between the commitments of the poor and the apathy of the rich. This is a tract that questions our common assumptions and forces us to re think our ideas about the life of Indian democracy. 143 pp.

Inspiration for illustrations. "There is no universal definition of art. The aim of Art for Beginners is not to come up with labels, but to examine different understandings of art, as both ideas and practice. The book's starting point is that art is, among other things, about making images and that in making images, we also make ourselves. Understanding the world means knowing how images are constructed in particular cultures and how people are fashioned ( economically, racially, sexually) by the images that surround them. "On this basis, Art for Beginners investigates art from various angles, both theoretical and practical. On the theoretical side, the artwork is discussed as a document recording aspects of everyday life, historic events and imaginary situations; as the object of study of a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics; and as a text decodable by recourse to semiotics, the science of signs. "Practical aspects of the artwork are explored with close reference to individual artists and to various genres, to highlight the specific features of different materials and techniques, types of composition, the use of colour and light effects. The role of artwork as a commodity in consumer culture is also addressed. "A reader- 185 pp.
