Appendix Judgement of the Supreme Court of India regarding Sanskrit. Index. The educated Indian mind of today is by and large subjugated by the contemporary ethnographic conflict oriented divisive thought and ideologies of the west. This can be corrected only by the thought structure in the Sanskrit intellectual texts. Two learned supreme court judges noted in 1993 the people of India have always held in high esteem the cultural heritage of this ancient land. And learning of Sanskrit is undoubtedly necessary for protection of this heritage. And the 1986 education policy said efforts will be made to delve into India's ancient fund of knowledge and to relate it to contemporary reality. This effort will imply the development of facilities for the intensive study of Sanskrit. With this in mind JNU set up in 2002 the Special Centre for Sanskrit Studies to examine and relate Indian thought systems both to the contemporary Indian reality and the contemporary western thinking. A research journal/publication is integral to this vision. This volume is the first issue and it promises a continuous commitment to Indian thought its validity and value. This book ranges over logic grammar philosophy environment aesthetics interpretation science epic poetry India's cultural presence in Asia and maintenance of texts and as such should interest students researchers and teachers of languages literature sciences and philosophy. 288 pp.

In the course of the last two decades, the Supreme Court has tried to regulate the use of India s forest resources, has passed orders on the type of fuel to be used by urban public transport, has controlled appointments to the higher judiciary and has even claimed the power to declare constitutional amendments invalid. This volume traces the ideological direction that the Supreme Court has charted over the last two decades. It examines the nature and origins of this expansion of its power and the transformation in the Court s worldview. It focuses on a time when many feel that the Supreme Court has become more conservative: it looks at the Court s conservative stand when it compares slum dwellers to pickpockets, orders the interlinking of rivers in the name of national progress and reasons that tribal populations will benefit from mining of their lands among others. The essays provide an account of this shift within a larger narrative that identifies the precise manner in which these changes have taken place. It looks at the emergence of judicial sovereignty that appears to be honouring its commitment to the oppressed and bewildered in name only.

Despite having a very rich heritage of biodiversity India is facing large scale depletion of the forest cover. Anthropogenic activity felling of trees rapid industrialisation urbanisation habitat destruction and pollution are also leading many of the plant and animal species to extinction and putting some species on the verge of extinction. Similar pattern of destruction of habitat and over exploitation of natural resources are causing depletion of biodiversity in the country as a whole. This book attempts to highlight the problems and different issues relating to biodiversity. It suggests remedial measures in general and for the North East region in particular. The researches being carried out on the subject have been focused and adequately highlighted. The articles contributed by the established scholars present a fairly comprehensive account of the biodiversity related problems in India and their conservational/remedial measures. The book should be of immense use to students teachers scientists professionals policy makers and intellectuals in dealing with the problems related to environment and biodiversity conservation. 234 pp.

The long and continuous tradition of Rama Katha existed in many folk and oral forms before Adikavi Valmiki composed it in Sanskrit in written form as the Ramayana a book of divine harmony a bottomless and shoreless ocean of love piety and clemency. The subsequent centuries witnessed composition of Ramayana in many Indian languages like Tamil Malayalam Bengali Assamese Hindi Kashmiri Gujarati and Marathi among others. These versions share many similarities and some dissimilarities among them though their epicentral concerns remain the same. The present volume comprising more than a dozen articles by distinguished scholars discuss Ramayana in different Indian languages. The volume it is hoped would lead to mutual illumination of Rama Katha in different Indian languages and facilitate greater understanding of its timeless appeal and journey through ages. 374 pp.

It accentuates theoretical and empirical layout of the ethnography language literature culture rethinking history and social development. Ethnography is highly entertained in the search of the concept of the other which is also elaborately discussed in the book. Its main emphasis is on the deprivation economic social cultural and linguistic among the marginalized groups of Indian society such as women tribals and the downtrodden.

This book is an ambitious attempt to bring together the diverse interpretations of the modern that have shaped the realities of Indian society. It undertakes not one, but multiple conceptual frameworks to explain the journey of the making and experiencing of the modern. It also points to the loopholes of the modern project and describes the innovations and adaptations and the intended and unintended makings of the modern. This volume takes on a multidisciplinary perspective and fosters an expansive focus as it brings together works from political science, international law and jurisprudence, sociology, anthropology, history, economics, visual studies, history of art, social geography, and the specific lens these fields use to unveil and analyse the modern in Indian society. Divided into three parts: Imagining the modern, Experiencing the modern, and Narrating the modern, this book showcases the multiple ways of being modern, without necessarily expressing the modern as a rational, egalitarian and neat category. Instead, it highlights the ideas of progress and gain and also of nostalgia and loss that mark the practices of modern in India. Most importantly, it explains that there is not one imagining, practice, or vision of the modern for India, but that the modern is constantly constructed, practised, and lived in changing and contested spheres. Bringing together original papers from renowned as well as upcoming scholars, this book crosses the boundaries of the Indian subcontinent to support the development of a new social sciences scholarship both globalized in its vision and outreach and localized in its approach.

The Case That Felled a City: A Public Interest Litigation with Nine Lives; 3. Public Interest Litigation as a Slum Demolition Machine; 4. Good Judges, Bad Judges: Critical Discourses on Public Interest Litigation in India; Conclusion: The Procedural Is Political; Bibliography; Index -- Based on empirical research, this book shows how public interest litigation (PIL) grants the appellate courts enormous flexibility in procedure, allowing them to manoeuvre themselves into positions of overweening authority. While PIL cases are usually politically analysed solely in terms of their effects, whether beneficial or disastrous, this book locates the political challenges that PIL poses in its very process, arguing that its fundamentally protean nature stems from its mimicry of ideas of popular justice. It examines PIL as part of a larger trend towards legal informalism in post-Emergency India. Casting a critical eye over these institutional reforms that aimed to adapt the colonial legal inheritance to 'Indian realities', this book looks at the challenges posed by self-consciously culturalist juridical innovations like PIL to ideas of fairness in adjudication, as well as democratic politics.

It cause changes in soil-plant-atmosphere continuum and is responsible for reduction in yield potential in many crops. Abiotic stresses provoke complex cellular responses that have been elucidated by progresses made in exploring and understanding plant abiotic responses at the whole-plant, physiological, biochemical, cellular and molecular levels. Plants respond to these environmental challenges through a number of homeostatic mechanisms that maintain the water balance and the integrity of tissues. Salinity levied short-term osmotic and long-term ionic stresses induces cellular adjustment associated with a perceptive reform of cell structure and metabolism. Owing to the significance of diverse receptor proteins in signal transduction, modulation of abiotic stress responsive receptors would be a one of new method for crop improvement. Though, there are many books available in the market on abiotic stress in plants, we tried our best to boost up the knowledge on abiotic stress in plants by embracing all vital aspects associated to abiotic stress with the.
