Sunni Chauvinism and the Roots of Muslim Modernism

By: Teena U. Purohit

Muslim intellectuals who sought to establish the boundaries of modern Muslim identity Muslim modernism was a political and intellectual movement that sought to redefine the relationship between Islam and the colonial West in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Spearheaded by Muslim leaders in Asia and the Middle East, the modernist project arose from a desire to reconcile Islamic beliefs and practices with European ideas of secularism, scientific progress, women’s rights, and democratic representation. Teena Purohit provides innovative readings of the foundational thinkers of Muslim modernism, showing how their calls for unity and reform led to the marginalization of Muslim minority communities that is still with us today. Sunni Chauvinism and the Roots of Muslim Modernism offers fresh perspectives on figures such as Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh, Muhammad Iqbal, and Abul A’la Mawdudi. It sheds light on the exclusionary impulses and Sunni normative biases of modernist Muslim writers and explores how their aim to unite the global Muslim community—which was stagnant and fragmented in their eyes—also created lasting divisions. While modernists claimed to represent all Muslims when they asserted the centrality and significance of unity, they questioned the status of groups such as Ahmadis, Bahais, and the Shia more broadly. Addressing timely questions about religious authority and reform in modern Islam, this incisive book reveals how modernist notions of Islam as a single homogeneous tradition gave rise to enduring debates about who belongs to the Muslim community and who should be excluded.

The Girlfriend's Guide to Hockey

By: Teena Spencer,Will Ferguson,Bruce Spencer

Teena Spencer knows from experience what it is to live through months of hockey mania and endless weeks of playoff insanity, when your partner is sprawled on the couch, knocking back beer and yelling at the TV. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, she decided, and proceeded to learn the ins and outs of Canada's national game. From butt-ending to dipsy-doodles, icing to offsides, The Girlfriend's Guide to Hockey illuminates the often arcane language of hockey in clear, humourous text. It's all here: the jargon, positions, rules, teams, top players and rituals and trivia, with details on women in hockey, including Canada's silver-medal-winning 1998 Olympic team (who, after all, did better than the men!).

A Mathematical Approach to Human Resources

By: Teena Mishra

This book focuses on the requirements of the field of modern human resources (HR) to develop a new mathematical model that is not only organisational output-focused but also employee-focused. The book presents recommendations for understanding human resource practice and investigates and debates various measurement and evaluation approaches to human resource practice. Currently, HR professionals only use one or two aspects of HR practice that are linked to good employee performance and emphasise output-generating HR practices. This book facilitates the adoption of alternative approaches to human resources through its exploration of various measurement and assessment concepts.

It provides learners with the necessary skills and knowledge through practice, experience, and applications in day-to-day business. It has been developed as per the latest syllabus and examination pattern prescribed by the CBSE. The retail industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the skill sector. The entry of many small and large stores has increased the demand for skilled and trained retail professionals for various job roles such as store operation assistant, trainee associate, sales associate, etc. The objectives of this job role are to deliver products and services to the customers, maintain sufficient stock levels, sustain health and safety, and work effectively in a team as well as in the organisation. Consumers have become more aware of the practices in the retail sector as a result of the development of modem merchandising strategies and the establishment of large retail companies. Experiential learning stresses on the learning methodology for the individual. Thus, the learning activities are student-oriented rather than teacher-oriented. In this book, students will learn about introduction to retailing, receiving and storing goods, stock level in storage and how to deliver excellent customer service. Salient Features of this Book • This book adopts a simplified method of presenting the ideas, keeping the needs and expectations of the students and teachers in mind as laid down in the syllabus. • This book is divided into two parts: * Part A deals with the Employability Skills with chapters on the units: Communication Skills- I, Self-Management Skills- I, ICT Skills- I, Entrepreneurial Skills- I and Green Skills - I. * Part B which deals with the Subject Specific Skills comprises of four units. Each unit has four sessions. The first unit focuses on the introduction of retailing. The second unit explains the procedure of receiving and storing of goods. The third unit discusses the stock levels in retail stores, and the fourth unit describes how to deliver excellent customer service. • This book is learner-centred with a comprehensive approach. • Every session in each unit has its accompanying activity and practical exercises. Also, each unit ends with a self assessment consisting of multiple choice questions, short answer and long answer questions that help in assessing the students' learning. • The learning objectives at the beginning of each unit describe a direction for the student to acquire new skills, knowledge and attitudes. • Fascinating pictures related to the topics are given. We hope that this book will help learners understand retail concepts and scenarios, allowing them to become successful retail professionals. Any suggestions for further improvement of the book will be most welcomed. We wish the readers all the best in their career. -Authors
