There are some, like Dr. Harekrushna Mahatab, Dr.Nilakantha Dash and Dr. Krushna Chandra Panigrahi who hold that the Panji dates from the reign of Ramachandra Deva I who re-established the worship of Lord Jagannatha after Kalapahad said to have destroyed it.

The research took me a good three years, and I hope that you enjoy reading the stories as much as I have enjoyed in writing them.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe word “rare” is described as “uncommon”. However for a stamp collector, the word “rare” usually means an essence of mystery and romance. For a stamp to be both “rare” and “famous” is the ultimate philatelic attribution. Philatelists, be it the schoolboy ones or the dyed in the wool types, are very emotional and passionate about their hobby. Stamp collectors are justly proud of being different from all other hobbyists.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis book gives the stories of some of the world’s rarest stamps. Most of the stamps described herein are those that philatelists call “classics”- issues that were made in the period 1842 to 1875. The establishment of the Universal Postal Union in 1874 resulted in the increase of prepaid worldwide correspondences and necessitated the increased production of postage stamps. Stamps were mass produced, new postal experiments were conducted and path breaking innovations made. The postal services too got an impetus both in the pre and post war years. The hobby of Philately too took wings in this period, and many eminent statesmen and royals gave their patronage to it.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis book will probably offend many philatelic purists. However this eclectic mix that I have presented is purely my own personal choice. It was a daunting task to decide which stamps to leave out, rather then select the stories that should be narrated.

The Problem of Poverty in Kalahandi-Bolangir region of Western Orissa is complex and has evolved over at least two centuries, with rapid acceleration in the last few decades. As a result endemic miseries, malnutrition, distress migration, ill health are all widespread. The roots of povrty are to be searched in the social history of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnless we see these problems in historical perspective and analyse them as a painful human condition with people having struggled with their coping strategies, we cannot reach to the root of the crisis. Today, In many pockets of the region, people have lost their power to protect their near and dears ones. They are deprived of their most basic resources needed to feed their family. Simply doing tonnes of food grains as aid, sanctioning money as economic assistance, promoting education and providing irrigation is not going to solve the problem of poverty in this region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40156225830955,"sku":"","price":420.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/products\/1-87.jpg?v=1655366473"},{"product_id":"kondhs-an-ethnobotanical-study","title":"KONDHS An Ethnobotanical Study","description":"\u003cp\u003eby \u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003eBijayalaxmi Dash \u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e(Author), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003eNirmal Chandra Dash \u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e(Author)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40156225863723,"sku":"","price":549.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/products\/dfd.jpg?v=1655366425"},{"product_id":"value-orientation-of-legislative-elites","title":"VALUE ORIENTATION OF LEGISLATIVE ELITE BY DR.

The question, thus put, is an idle one. Sociology is a field of study. If you want to know what a science is ?about? you learn only by studying that science. This book offered to those who are entering on the study of society. It may suffice to state here that sociology is ?about? social relationships, the network of relationships we call society. No other science takes that subject for its central concern. As sociologists we are interested then in social relationships not because they are economic or political or religious but because they are at the same time social. If two people meet in the market place, they are not just two ?economic men? but two human beings, and they enter into relationships that are not simply economic. The life of man is many- sided. There is an economic aspect, a legal aspect, an aesthetic aspect, a religious aspect, and so forth. but blending Into them all is the social aspect. In all else be does, man relates himself to man. Society is the marvelously intricate and ever-changing pattern of the totality of these relationships. To find and keep the focus of our subject is, then, of first importance. In particular, we should recognize that ?in studying? society we are not attempting to study everything that happens ?in society? or under social conditions, for that includes all human activity and all human learning. We shall be concerned with culture, but only for the light it throws on social relationships. We must trace their responsiveness to changing conditions, changing demands or changing needs. It is not enough to be descriptive; we must be analytic as well. If this book goes in more thoroughly for social analysis than do most introductions to sociology it is because we believe such analysis is the first requisite for the intelligent study of society.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41106000707627,"sku":"","price":956.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/61aURsg7wkL._SY425__1.jpg?v=1717417287"},{"product_id":"public-hinduisms-by-john-zavos-pralay-kanungo-hardcover","title":"PUBLIC HINDUISMS BY JOHN ZAVOS, PRALAY KANUNGO (HARDCOVER)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublic Hinduisms critically analyses the way in which Hinduism is produced and represented as an established feature of modern public landscapes.

Today, the child brides are usually from poor families. They are of 15–17 years as compared to much younger brides in the earlier times. The book discusses why child marriages persist despite numerous legislative and policy initiatives to ‘eliminate’ the practice. The chapters examine social and legal reforms to raise the age of marriage; contemporary education and health-related policy attempts at prevention; relationship of child marriage with child labour, sex work, human trafficking and other issues. Increasingly, there is greater resistance to marriages arranged by parents from the ‘child’ brides themselves who can now access institutional and bureaucratic support.

As he does this, he also gives us rare information about many crises and turning points: Emergency and its impact on national and regional politics; the fall of the Chandrashekhar government in 1991; the signing of the Punjab Accord between Rajiv Gandhi and H.S. Longowal; the Babri Masjid demolition; the Mumbai bomb blasts of 1993; the devastating earthquake in Latur; the controversy over the Enron power project; and Sonia Gandhi’s dramatic decision to give up the chance to occupy the country’s highest office.
