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":"an-economist-in-the-real-world-the-art-of-policymaking-in-india-by-kaushik-basu-hardcover","title":"AN ECONOMIST IN THE REAL WORLD: THE ART OF POLICYMAKING IN INDIA BY KAUSHIK BASU (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book, ‘An Economist in the Real World: The Art of Policymaking in India’ provides a useful insight on the aspect of economic policymaking.

Discussing various notions ranging from macroeconomic to fiscal and monetary policies; and from the granular of designing grain auctions to the dream of ensuring every citizen has access to basic food, this book is full of economic wisdom.

Through his five- decade-long career, during which he has never lost an election, he has served as chief minister of Maharashtra four times and as India’s defence minister and minister for agriculture. On two occasions he came close to becoming the country’s prime minister. He has often bucked the trend, preferring policy and pragmatism over populism, and won admiration for his administrative acumen and consensual politics. Eyewitness—at the highest levels—to India’s and Maharashtra’s history since the 1960s, he shares in this memoir his reflections on coalition politics, the loss of democracy in the Congress Party (with which he began his political life), the state of agriculture and industry in the country, and the absolute necessity of social harmony and a liberal, inclusive ethos for India’s future. 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. Throughout, the narrative also contains candid and fascinating assessments of some of the biggest names in Indian politics, among them, Indira, Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi, Y.B. Chavan, Morarji Desai, Biju Patnaik, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Chandrashekhar, P.V. Narasimha Rao, George Fernandes and Bal Thackeray.

Accountability, the heartbeat of governance, is under siege. The epidemic of unaccountability lurks beneath India's myriad tragedies, conquering the spirit of the citizen and constraining India from unlocking its full economic and social potential. The misgovernance so vividly visible today is a strong signal that India's liberal democracy is disobeying the principles of its grand design. Citizens are deeply concerned about the state of their nation, but unsure what role they can play in improving accountability. This book was written to increase the public understanding of accountability. Jay P. Desai asks very important questions: How did accountability historically evolve in India can accountability be measured how does India rank against other countries does accountability impact economic and social performance does our socio-cultural fabric influence accountability and what role do existing accountability mechanisms and institutions play in strengthening or weakening, the four foundations of accountability? The author constructs a three-dimensional lens with which he examines the mechanisms that hold our governance institutions accountable. Six initiatives that can improve accountability in India are identified and evaluated. Citizens can play a key role in strengthening accountability, using the five-fold path set out. Desai explains why a burst of governance reforms are sorely needed and describes how the journey of accountability will play out over the next few decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41107207487531,"sku":"","price":680.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/41xaFdY43TL._SY425__1.jpg?v=1717569239"},{"product_id":"imagining-india-ideas-for-the-new-century-by-nandan-nilekani-hardcover","title":"IMAGINING INDIA : IDEAS FOR THE NEW CENTURY BY NANDAN NILEKANI (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eImagining India: Ideas for the New Century\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani argues that Economic Growth alone in India is not enough.

The 2006 Sachar Committee Report rekindled public interest and attention in this important issue. Yet, considerable gaps exist in our understanding of the dynamics of religion and access to education. In Religion, Community, and Education, Alam uses a spatial approach and multilayered analytical framework to understand educational disparities in schooling between the Hindus and Muslims in Bihar. The study draws upon national-level data as well as focused fieldwork carried out in Bihar's Patna and Purnia districts. This book highlights the larger historical trajectories that have shaped educational development as well as the forms of disparities therein vis-à-vis the minorities in India. It contends that the relative educational backwardness of the Muslims reflects underlying socio-economic patterns that are often overlooked.

He discusses in details the frozen continent's unique environmental aspects, the international presence, world governance and the Indian Antarctic Programme (IAP). The book throws light on how perspectives and positions of leading countries represented in Antarctica, such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, US, Russia, China, Japan, Norway, South Africa and India have shaped over the years. Their strategic interests, including those in the Arctic, provide for an interesting kaleidoscope of factors with the potential for various global scenarios in the coming years. The world will be surely and anxiously watching the developments in Antarctica in future. According to the widely accepted geological theory of plate tectonics, the Indian subcontinent was once a part of the supercontinent Gondwana, so named after one of the tribes of central India, along with Antarctica, Africa, Australia and South America. However, the general awareness about the continent in India is very poor. The book in details traces the history of India's involvement in Antarctica, its three permanent stations conducting valuable scientific research and efforts to make a presence among other nations in the continent. It points out the country's total dependence on all its logistics needs by outsourcing which may prove to be detrimental to its influence and interests. It would be interesting to see how India reacts to the positions of other nations in the changing global kaleidoscope and how it will gear itself, to establish a truly influential Antarctic presence for safeguarding its own strategic interests.

In Chanakya’s View: Understanding India in Transition, Pavan K. Varma, best-selling author of Adi Shankaracharya: Hinduism’s Greatest Thinker, analyses the challenges that India faces today. In a minute and frank critique, he points to behavioural change as the need of the hour: Indians need to respect institutions, shun intolerance, accommodate dissent, follow strategic diplomacy and increase their moral quotient. At once a celebration of India and an appraisal of it, Chanakya’s View is a roadmap to making the republic a truly great one. One of India’s foremost public intellectuals, and also a politician, Varma firmly believes that India will sustain owing to its great civilisational heritage and the strength of its people.

He takes a retrospective look at the dynamics of social and political developments before and since independence and this forms the basis of his new field work in south Gujarat carried out between 2004 and 2006. Breman's empirical research shows that despite repeated promises of politicians within and outside the state of Gujarat, poverty alleviation has remained a low priority. The plethora of schemes and programmes that the government announced³even if implemented³had a negligible impact because it did not reach the majority of those it was intended to help. Moreover, Breman contends that the process of pauperization has a deeper cause. The model of economic development followed in the late twentieth century was based on adding value to the means of production that tended to yield a low output. This strategy could be successful only if the agricultural labourers owned at least some means of production in the form of land tools and other assets. But these labourers in the villages where the author conducted his research were not only landless but completely bereft of property. They barely owned their labour power³their employers decided how and when it would be used. They therefore, neither had the physical nor the social capital necessary to assert themselves and make progress. This rural agrarian underclass was thus subjected to a strategy of exclusion and this, says the author, explains why they continue to live in a condition of abject poverty and could not be beneficiaries of a booming economy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41113001328683,"sku":"","price":400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/51v4bV3eagL._SY385__1.jpg?v=1718263481"},{"product_id":"atlantic-gandhi-the-mahatma-overseas-by-nalini-natarajan-hardcover","title":"ATLANTIC GANDHI : THE MAHATMA OVERSEAS BY NALINI NATARAJAN (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsing the frames of diaspora theory, post-colonial discourse theory and the recent Atlantic turn in studies of resistance, this book brings into relief Gandhi's experience as a traveler moving from a classic colony, India, to the plantation and mining society of South Africa. The author forwards the argument that this move between different modes of production brought Gandhi into contact with indentured laborers, with whom he shared exilic and diasporic consciousness and whose difficult yet resilient lives inspired his philosophy. It reads Gandhi's nationalistic (that is, anti-colonial) sentiments as born in diasporic exile, where he formed his perspective as a provincial subject in a multiracial plantation. The author's viewpoint has been inspired by the new analytic that has emerged in the last few decades the Atlantic as an ocean that not just transported the victims of a greedy plantation system, but also saw the ferment of revolutionary ideas. Advance Praise Learned and insightful, Nalini Natarajan, has written an amazing study of Gandhi which shows how transnational, planetary forces from the Caribbean, South Africa and India were brought to bear on his concept of Indianness. His reading of Thoreau, Ruskin, and Tolstoy helped him form his conception of India as frugal, vegetarian, spiritual, adhering to ahimsa and satyagraha, and a style of anti-modernism which would lead to a very modern struggle of independence on the one hand but separation from the struggles of Zulu in Africa and blacks in Guyana on the other hand. Call them coolie, subaltern, or proletarian, Gandhi's construction of the idea of \"India\" arose in relation to, but not identity with, the workers of the barracks, the cane field and the gold mine who produce in war, drugs, and money the defining experiences of modernity. Few will be able to read this book without serious reconsideration of Gandhi's cultural politics and political philosophy. Here is an oceanic Gandhi. Peter Linebaugh author of London Hanged Crime and Civil Society in the Eighteenth Century (1991) and co-author of The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic (2001) with Marcus Rediker. In Atlantic Gandhi, thhe Mahatma Overseas, Nalini Natarajan places the \"coolie woman\" in South Africa under the microscope of Gandhian lens against the parallel discourses on their questionable sexuality and value as a labour resource in other sites of Indian indentured labour, including the Caribbean. In doing so she moves us towards a current and more comparative rethinking of the historical clichés that have typified the study of diasporic Indian gender relations under the colonial enterprise.

In today's digital age of the millennial, transparency and social awareness have to be the cornerstones of any organization. Leaders and their HR need to align their current values accordingly. Some fundamentals like truth, humility, courage, energy, edge, equity, social justice will have to be brought back into the organization leadership DNA.All of us are aware about the spurt in leadership development activities in India over the recent years. There have been frantic efforts in Indian as well as foreign companies to develop leadership quickly across all levels in the organization. The reason of this recent surge lies in the current growth trajectory of Indian companies. Many Indian companies are growing at a rate which is mind-boggling. Companies which grew at 3 to 4 percent per annum for the first 30 years of their history, grew 10 fold or more since the advent of the new millennium. There are examples of several companies which have expanded phenomenally during the last decade, from Pan-India operations to manufacturing in 5 countries and doing business in 30 countries, increasing their manpower five times more than the number of people they had ever hired. This has put tremendous pressure on companies to develop leadership at all levels in the shortest possible time.So the natural question that comes up is: what kind of leaders do we need today in India?When we explore our own past, we expect our leaders be it in the form of god, king, or entrepreneur, to be ‘Sarva Guna Sampanna’, i.e. one who has all identified competencies and qualities required to be the ‘right’ leader.

In The Limits of Influence veteran U.S. diplomat Howard B. Schaffer illuminates the U.S. view of the conflict and gives an insider’s account of Washington’s efforts over the last thirty years to forge a settlement. Drawing on interviews with senior American officials, archival research, and decades of personal experience in South Asia, Schaffer examines three generations of U.S. policy, beginning from 1948 when fighting erupted in Kashmir. He traces Washington’s interventions between 1948 and 1963 to resolve the dispute—efforts which culminated in a major initiative to promote negotiations between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Sino-Indian war of 1962. The negotiations failed, generating much ill-will in the region. For the next fifteen years U.S. policymakers took a hands-off approach, but since 1989 when the conflict in the Valley entered a new and violent phase, Washington renewed its efforts to help defuse the crisis. Schaffer argues the time may be ripe for a fresh US effort to help resolve the Kashmir dispute, highlighting the principles that should guide any future efforts, as well as the history and obstacles that US policymakers must overcome.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41113106022443,"sku":"","price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/81PTSSYhlSL._AC_UY218__1.jpg?v=1718278762"},{"product_id":"will-hindu-develop-and-secure-india-by-atluru-sitaramaiah-hardcover","title":"WILL HINDU DEVELOP AND SECURE INDIA ?

In this context, the author looks at the writings of Hannah Arendt, Martin Buber and Simone Weil. These writers, all of whom are jewish, experienced the holocaust, the Second World War, and in the case of Buber, the question of Israel and Palestine. In the work of all three are woven stands of resistance, issues of suffering, and questions of meaning in an increasingly inhuman world. We also find issues of personal religious\/spiritual faith-the faith of one's birth, and that of the other. While Simone Weil's work speaks of her work in the Resistance, and also her life among the workers, Buber attempts to solve the issue of West Asia through dialogue and acceptance and by seeing the land as belonging to both Arabs and Jews. Dr Visvanathan goes on to examine the friendship between Gandhi, Rudra and Andrews - a friendship that made it possible for a Christian mission college(St.Stephens in Delhi) to participate in the freedom movement and to crate an identity that was simultaneously nationalist Indian and Christian. This paper supplements one that traces how the British presence in India - first as traders, then later as imperial rulers - negotiated its relationship with Christian missionaries, both European and Indian, and with Indian religious. This relationship, marked by an absence of dialogue, was attempted to be set right in the Hindu Christian ashrams of Fr. Monchanin, Dom Henri le Saux and Dom Bede Griffiths. Two chapters are devoted to henri le Saux, the French monk who became a sanyasi and a devotee of Shri Ramana and Arunachala, while remaining a devout Christian. Dr Visvanathan discusses this as an aspect of the dialogue of cultures and religious within le Saux's \/ Abhishiktananda's self, indeed of the dialogue within, between le Saux and Abhishiktananda. Dr Visvanathan poses dialogue as a real and hopeful alternative to pessimistic and violent notions of civilizational clashes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41113114116139,"sku":"","price":475.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/51pOP4koWZL._SY385__1.jpg?v=1718280296"},{"product_id":"concrete-economics-the-hamilton-approach-to-economic-growth-and-policy-by-stephen-s-cohenhardcover","title":"CONCRETE ECONOMICS: The Hamilton Approach to Economic Growth and Policy BY STEPHEN S.

Brilliantly written and argued, Concrete Economics shows how government has repeatedly reshaped the American economy ever since Alexander Hamilton's first, foundational redesign. This book does not rehash the sturdy and long-accepted arguments that to thrive, entrepreneurial economies need a broad range of freedoms. Instead, Steve Cohen and Brad DeLong remedy our national amnesia about how our economy has actually grown and the role government has played in redesigning and reinvigorating it throughout our history. The government not only sets the ground rules for entrepreneurial activity but directs the surges of energy that mark a vibrant economy. This is as true for present-day Silicon Valley as it was for New England manufacturing at the dawn of the nineteenth century. The authors' argument is not one based on abstract ideas, arcane discoveries, or complex correlations. Instead it is based on the facts--facts that were once well known but that have been obscured in a fog of ideology--of how the US economy benefited from a pragmatic government approach to succeed so brilliantly. Understanding how our economy has grown in the past provides a blueprint for how we might again redesign and reinvigorate it today, for such a redesign is sorely needed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mO48d3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41117096869931,"sku":"","price":1030.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/CONCRETE.png?v=1718789391"},{"product_id":"made-only-in-india-goods-with-geographical-indications-by-anu-kapur-hardcover","title":"MADE ONLY IN INDIA: Goods with geographical indications BY ANU KAPUR (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes Darjeeling tea, Pashmina shawl, Monsooned Malabar Arabica coffee and Chanderi saree special? Why is it that some goods derive their uniqueness through their inherent linkage to a place? In a pioneering study, this book explores this intriguing question in the Indian context across 199 registered goods with geographical indications, linked with their place of origin. It argues that the origin of these goods is attributed to a distinctive ecology that brews in a particular place. The attributes of their origin further endorse their unique geographical indications through legal channels. Drawing from a variety of disciplines including geography, history, sociology, handicrafts, paintings, and textiles, the author also examines the Geographical Indications Act of 1999, and shows how it has created a scope to identify, register and protect those goods, be they natural, agricultural, or manufactured. The work presents a new perspective on the indigenous diversities and offers an original understanding of the geography and history of India. Lucid and accessible, with several illustrative maps, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers in the social sciences, environmental studies, development studies, law, trade and history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41117111320619,"sku":"","price":700.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/Made-Only-in-India-Goods-with-Geographical-Indications_450227.jpg?v=1718790793"},{"product_id":"the-poverty-regime-in-village-india-by-jan-breman-hardcover","title":"THE POVERTY REGIME IN VILLAGE INDIA BY JAN  BREMAN (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book is an in-depth study on the changing nature of poverty of the landless rural proletariat in the agriculturally and industrially developed region of south Gujarat.

Having inherited a legacy of ideas, practices and institutions from the British, India was also partitioned into the now two separate states of India and Pakistan (part of which is now Bangladesh) in August1947. The role of the military in politics in the successor states of India and Pakistan - both sharing a similarity in cultural heritage and an inherited legacy of political neutrality from the British - has taken rather different interpretations since 1947. ABOUT THE AUTHOR MA roof Raza is the series editor of the Military Affairs series, a commentator in both the print and television media on India’s security concerns and is a former Indian army officer. He was educated in India at Mayo College, Ajmer, and at St. Stephen’s College, Delhi; and did his post graduate studies at King’s College, in London and at Cambridge University.

Women are no longer invisible in history. The present book critically analyses the success achieved by Gandhi in mobilizing women on a mass scale for the cause of the countryman€™s independence. At Gandhi€™s call, women began to come out of the narrow confines of their homes to participate in various constructive programmed like spinning of charkha, picketing of shops selling foreign goods, wearing khadi clothes, etc. However, Gandhi never directed his attention to raising the consciousness of women to a level where they could start seeing the world from an altogether different perspective. In Gandhi’s scheme of things, radical change in the traditional framework based on male-dominated patriarchal norms was never envisaged. Besides, the idea of economic independence of women was not acceptable to Gandhi.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41117839294507,"sku":"","price":315.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/thumb_286_19040.jpg?v=1718862705"},{"product_id":"religious-disarmament-rethinking-conversion-in-india-by-rudolf-c-heredia-hardcover","title":"Religious Disarmament Rethinking Conversion in india By Rudolf C.Heredia (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABOUT THE BOOK:- Today religious extremism and fundamentalism is whipping up another wave of terror that seems unbalanced and uncontrollable. We need to step back from the brink with a determined religious disarmament, not to dismiss or negate religion but to disarm and discard the aggression and violence of those that who indulge in, and those who seek to contain this religiously inspired madness. Religious conversion is an unavoidable stumbling block for any aspiration for religious harmony, for any real hope of true religious understanding, both of which are so essential to contain a potentially divisive diversity. Extremism on either side leaves little room for a middle ground of sanity and common sense. There are exclusive positions that negate such a possibility. Inclusive positions too can have their problems when they absorb other differences, leaving little room for distinctiveness. We need a starting position, and we cannot avoid beginning from where we are, within our own perspectives and commitments. We must engage at this level if we are to repair the damage of the past, to heal old wounds and make anew our future. As we claim our common humanity, we open ourselves to discovering together a richness and depth that we could never have alone. Conversion is a complex and emotionally charged issue. Fundamentalists of all hues exploit it, liberals confuse it, many do not really comprehend what all the fuss is about, and many more just do not want to get involved. However, especially in a multi-cultural, pluri-religious society like ours, it is a problem that cannot be wished away. For like it or not, we are all in some way involved. In today's surcharged context of minority-bashing and anti-conversion laws, of majoritarian politics and minority vote-banks, the issues implied get more explosive everyday. Sooner rather than later we must grasp the nettle. But if discretion is the better part of velour, then besides courage we will need discernment to dissenting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41117886742571,"sku":"","price":790.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/4182FRrCuDL.jpg?v=1718869440"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.indianhobbycenter.com\/collections\/old-books.oembed?page=10","provider":"Indian Hobby Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
