DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores the ways in which modern Hindu identities were constructed in the early nineteenth century. It draws parallels between sixteenth and eventeenth Cecntury Protestantism and the rise of modernity in the West, and the Hindu reformation in the nineteenth century which contributed to the rise of Vedantic Hindu modernity discourse in India. The nineteenth century Hindu modernity, it is argued, sought both individual flourishing and collective emancipation from Western domination. For the first time Hinduism began to be constructed as a religion of sacred texts. In particular, texts belonging to what could be loosely called Vedanta: Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. In this way, the main protagonists of this Vedantist modernity were imitating Western Protestantism, but at the same time also inventing totally novel interpretations of what it meant to be Hindu. The book traces the major ideological paths taken in this cultural-religious reformation from its originator Rammohun Roy up to its last major influence, Rabindranath Tagore. Bringing these two versions of modernity into conversation brings a unique view on the formation of modern Hindu identities. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of religious, Hindu and South Asian studies, as well as religious istory and interreligious dialogue.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIndia has the largest number of non-schoolgoing working children in the world. Why has the government not removed them from the labor force and required that they attend school, as have the governments of all developed and many developing countries? To answer this question, this major comparative study first looks at why and when other states have intervened to protect children against parents and employers. By examining Europe of the nineteenth century, the United States, Japan, and a number of developing countries, Myron Weiner rejects the argument that children were removed from the labor force only when the incomes of the poor rose and employers needed a more skilled labor force. Turning to India, the author shows that its policies arise from fundamental beliefs, embedded in the culture, rather than from economic conditions. Identifying the specific values that elsewhere led educators, social activists, religious leaders, trade unionists, military officers, and government bureaucrats to make education compulsory and to end child labor, he explains why similar groups in India do not play the same role.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDr. Bhasin and her colleagues have undertaken a formidable task in collating a vast amount of information and providing a compendium of data on much of what is known about the biological diversity of Indian populations. There are four lengthy chapters and one shorter one. The former are reinforced by extensive maps and tables. The first by M.K. and V. Bhasin, gives a broad account of Indian demography and disease patterns. The second, by M.K. Bhasin and A. Khanna continues the focus on disease with an account of its correlations and biological traits. The next two chapters on the haemoglobinopathies. The first, quite short, is by G. Talukder and A. Sharma while the second, much longer, is by M.K. Bhasin, H. Walter and H. Danker-Hopfe. The last chapter by M.K. Bhasin and S. Nag examines the associations between consanguinity and fertility, morbidity and mortality. All the topics mentioned above are important areas of research, and were the findings of the very large numbers of authors cited to be extensively discussed, the result would have been several large monographs. Wisely and/or for reasons of sheer self-preservation, the editor and authors have limited themselves to the presentation of extensive data tables, maps and lists of references, this enabling those with more specific interests in particular topics to get a grounding in the literature and a general feeling for the data. Dr. Bhasin and her authors are to be congratulated on the book. Any one contemplating work in India should read the relevant parts first. It should save them a great deal of trouble.
