Researching Geography

The Indian Context

By: Gopal Krishan,Nina Singh

This book is a one-stop comprehensive guide to geographical inquiry. The volume: traces the step-by-step account of the whys and the hows of research methodology; introduces complexities of the geographical perspective, selection of research topic, choice of supervisor and formulation of research proposal; fine-tunes the sequence of data collection, analysis, representation and interpretation, and spells out the skill of writing research with geographic flavour; and reinforces concepts and ideas with examples so as not to leave any scope for ambiguity. The second edition updates on the variety of emerging perspectives in geographic research, use of spatial technologies in practice, sampling at different spatial levels and insightful interpretation of data. Lucid, engaging and accessible, this book will be an essential companion for researchers and students of geography, social sciences and South Asian studies.

Anthropological Dimensions of Pilgrimage

By: Krishan Sharma,Anil Kishore Sinha,Bijon Gopal Banerjee

The most ethnographic studies on the pilgrimage focus in the sacred places rather than pilgrimage itself. The present study takes into account both these dimensions. The history of Shri Mata Mansa Devi temple is as old as other famous Shakti Sthals of India. The details of these Shakti Sthals is given in Shiva Purana. The data on various aspects relating to socio-cultural, psychological, economic and religious dimension of the pilgrims are given in this book. This book is intended to be of interest to all those who are interested to learn about pilgrims and pilgrimage, especially those in the disciplines of Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology, History, Geography, Sanskrit and and its allied subjects

The Greatest Farce of History

By: Gopal Chowdhary

The book seeks to analyse the faultlines and subversion in the ancient history of India in the praxis of social domination and systematic marginalization and obliteration of traditional political elites or traditional Kshatriya that social elites (Priestly class or caste) of ancient India achieved, just to maintain their socio-political domination and hegemony. This rather myopic act led to the balkanization of socio-political scape of mediaeval Indiaresulting into subjugation, plunder and foreign invasions and rule for one thousand years. Through the case study of Krishna and Mahabharata period, the book tries to illuminate the so called Dark Age of the Indian history. Despite the numerous archaeological proves found in the form of Painted Grey Ware (PGW) associated with Mahabharata period and Black Red Ware (BRW) with different shades, associated with Krishna and Yadavas which tally with details of different scriptures and epic, nothing seems to be happening in this regard. This very fact seems to underline the continued saga of subversion and domination that seemed to have been ingrained in the post-Krishna-and-Mahabharata period. Once the deification and mystification of great historical personality and period such as Krishna and Mahabharata was started just to negate the socio-political revolutions ushered into, it seems to have continued and institutionalized.

Literary Radicalism in India

Gender, Nation and the Transition to Independence

By: Priyamvada Gopal

Literary Radicalism in India situates postcolonial Indian literature in relation to the hugely influential radical literary movements initiated by the Progressive Writers Association and the Indian People's Theatre Association. In so doing, it redresses a visible historical gap in studies of postcolonial India. Through readings of major fiction, pamphlets and cinema, this book also shows how gender was of constitutive importance in the struggle to define 'India' during the transition to independence.

Golden Sutras of Success

By: Pt. Gopal Sharma

One Hundred Tales For Ten Thousand Buddhas—this is an essential book. There exists no other quite like it. It is a collection of living moments with the living Buddha. It is not some events remembered and then adorned with reactions. These are tales vitally alive. These tales are a great gift for all of us—those who have sat with the living Master and those who haven’t. It is a book for all seekers. It is also a book for those who are not actively seeking, but surely have the same longing-the longing for a taste of that love which has no bondage.
