Dalit Issues: Caste and Class Interface will fill the gaps in the existing body of literature pertaining to Dalit issues. The book addresses the key issues of Dalits struggling for the right to life and survival with dignity. Though this right is constitutionally granted as fundamental right, the realization of the same seems to be the most strenuous task. Dr. Ambedkar s lifelong concern for the vulnerable took the Dalit issues at the centre-stage of national politics. Political parties took up the Dalit issues and came to power. The stakeholders, including the human rights bodies, remain vocal in condemning the atrocities and injustice inflicted on Dalits. However, efforts are on for the realization of constitutional rights safeguarding the interests of Dalits, and creating an egalitarian society. The book in hand will definitely take such steps forward. This book will be of great help to all concerned with Dalits and human rights issues. (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Philosophy, Literature and Literary Criticism. 2. Humanism, Deconstruction, and Literature. 3. Saussure, Language and Literature I. 4. Saussure, Language and Literature II. 5. Fictionality and the Identity of Literature. 6. Literature and Experience. 7. How Literary is Literary Language? 8. Critical Practice: Reading Derrida Reading Romeo and Juliet. This is the first book of its kind which questions Derrida s view of literature levelling all distinctions between literature and other disciplines. Setting forth those features of literature which mark it off from non-literature, the author argues that Derrida s deconstruction is enshrined in a flawed view of language. Pleading stridently for a twofold division of language and drawing extensively on the philosophers and the linguists who support it, the author has advanced a fresh approach to literature as well as other disciplines. It is a defence of literature, and by implication, of logic and truth, in the age of deconstruction. (jacket).

Ground Water Pollution Scenario, Health Issues and Management Options in Rajasthan/L.N. Mathur. In spite of recent surge of interest in health issues, the impact of water on health has not elicited much attention in the academia. Though fluoride and heavy metals have been fairly researched, literature on nitrate and salinity is scanty; lack of sanitation and its resultant impact on health still remains under researched. One of the reasons for this can be attributed to the existence of diverse forms of contaminations and the variety of risks attached to each one. The present volume focuses on growing threats to health from detrimental pollutants in water, the life giving substance. The book, divided into four sections, incorporates assemblage of diverse ideas in the discourse to take a holistic view of the issue. It benefits from the valuable contributions of environmentalists, medical practitioners, educationists and economists alike. Containing a wide array of empirical analyses and field level case studies, the volume has metamorphosed into an interesting and useful compendium of issues such as pollution caused by pesticide and heavy metals; health impact of contaminants like fluoride, nitrate, and salinity; and lack of safe drinking water and sanitation. The book seeks to attract the attention of academicians and policy makers to the alarming situation and strong actions that need to be taken to save human life and the ecosystem. (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 2nd Edition. Indian village has always been a part of a wider Indian society as an economic, political and social entity. The holistic village monographs of the 1950s and the culturological studies of the 1950s and the 1960s were substituted by the studies of structural problems and of specific issues in the 1970s. Divides between village and town, and caste and class, were not only reviewed critically during the 1970s and the 1980s, but were also substituted by paradigms or conceptualizations like country-town nexus and caste-class nexus to unfold and uncover the hollowness of the antinomies like village and town and caste and class. This book presents an interdisciplinary perspective on the understanding of caste, class, mode of production in agriculture, peasant movements, land reforms, stresses in caste stratification, caste and class consciousness, rural power elite, modernization, change and social stratification. The volume imparts the message that the problems relating to landlessness, underemployment and unemployment, poverty, health, education, migration and mobility are more fundamental than the ones concerning untouchability, pollution-purity, rituals and religious practices. The new Introduction written for this second edition provides a review of interdisciplinary explanation to the emerging social trends and patterns of social stratification in contemporary rural India. The book would be of an immense value for students, researchers and teachers as it encompasses entire gamut of structure and change in rural society in India. (jacket).

The Past in Many Hues: Historical Narratives. 5. In a Different Medium. 6. The Storyteller: Bond s Narrative Strategies and Territorial Affiliations. 7. Summing Up: The Poetic Imagination. Ruskin Bond, the renowned author who has been living in and writing from Mussoorie for the past six decades, has been a great favourite with people across the country. His works, written against the backdrop of the Doon valley and Mussoorie, have most endearingly, brought alive this region. This book highlights various aspects of Bond s writings in a well-defined way. It explores his writings and throws light on the films and the television series based on them. These are Shyam Benegal s Junoon, Vishal Bhardwaj s The Blue Umbrella and 7 Khoon Maaf, and Ek Tha Rusty (TV series). The work seeks to focus on the romantic tradition and looks at the romantic imagination, which is the soul of Bond s work. This dimension gives his writing the uniqueness which makes him the writer for all ages, all seasons. The book explores the romantic vision of the author which binds together the elements of his writing like innocence, personal narration, love for the past, love for nature and environment, and interest in childhood. It places Bond in the great romantic tradition of the 19th century due to his lyricism, spontaneity, subjectivity, interest in the mysterious, and the qualities of innocence and wonder in his writings. It also locates Bond among his contemporary writers in English besides establishing that he cannot be confined to being a children s writer. Fiction and Film: Ruskin Bond s Romantic Imagination underlines how Bond always writes about people gone away, places vanished and changing landscapes of time. (jacket).
