Burkina Faso, known as Upper Volta until its independence from France in 1960, and locally called the "land of the upright people," is a medium-sized land-locked country with no less than six neighbors, some of which periodically get into trouble... which makes it reasonably strategic in some ways. While it has not done as poorly as some other African states, its economic has certainly not prospered and many Burkinabe go abroad to earn a living. As for politics, it is another case of stability without democracy, even if there are periodic elections. Still, this is better than not even having stability. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Burkina Faso covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, maps, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Burkina Faso.
Noting down quotations that I liked has been a habit of mine since my university days. I kept writing whenever some quotation attracted my attention. During this long period, I also wrote some and later shortlisted what appealed most. Thus, this exercise continued at a slow pace as part of my hobby for leisure time. After retirement from service in the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Govt. of India, I compiled them and had a relook. Some more quotations of lesser liking were screened out. These were then clubbed into relevant headings and sub-headings for quick searches. A desire to group all of these together prompted me to get it published. Though the major part covers quotations in English, a small part collected from Hindi literature is also put under the same cover. Since it was a long period of leisure exercise, there might be some quotations where the name of the author is not shown. This might be due to the fact that the source from where I collected such references that might have not been there. I have also written quotations and notes. Profound quotations are motivational mantras that enlighten our minds and enthuse our hearts. They are packed with wisdom and experience of age. They are learning from what the world’s wisest have said about a specific subject. I hope the readers will find it interesting and useful on one or more subjects covered in this publication.
