Bharata Darshana
Mr. Shripadrao Laxman Kulkarni, (S.L. Kulkarni) the author of this book, was a great source of inspiration to all of us as well as to the society at large. After a prolonged 20 years of his passing away on 7th May 1994 the complete literature is being brought out in the booking form. After reading out the 1“ volume of Shri. SLK's autobiography sent through email, our friend Mr. M. Vishwanath immediately dashed to my house the next day itself. He was so overwhelmed by the writings that he decided to publish his complete works. This was the turning point for the publication of this book which was my long-cherished aspiration.

Being Brahmin, Being Modern
There is clearly an academic and political obsession with the ‘idea’ of the Brahmin. There is also, simultaneously, a near-complete absence of engagement with the Brahmin as an embodied person or community. This book addresses this intriguing paradox by making available a sociological description of the Brahmins in today’s Karnataka. It pursues three distinct, yet enmeshed, registers of inquiry – the persona of the ‘Brahmin’ embodied in the agency of the individual Brahmin; the organised complexes of action such as the caste association and the public culture of print; and finally, taking off from a longer (yet, modern and contemporary) history of non-Brahminical othering of the ...
Being Brahmin, Being Modern
Political and academic interest in the idea of the Brahmin notwithstanding, there has been virtually no engagement with the Brahmin as an embodied person or community. This book seeks to address this intriguing paradox in the context of Brahmins in modern-day Karnataka. The book argues that the multivalent worlds of contemporary caste demand that we constantly innovate different modes of approaching it. With this intent, it positions itself against the monographic form and weaves together an ethnography with diverse research techniques such as archival documents, literary works and published writings of caste associations. The Brahmin today, the author argues, cannot be adequately understood as a caste-self that masks its casteness in order to present itself as a secular self. Neither can the Brahmin be seen as a subject that has successfully transcended casteness. As the title of the book suggests, the central tensions that animate the Brahmin self is that of being both Brahmin and modern.
Family Studies
Within the social, political, and economic contexts existing in modern-day India, family is neither a simple remnant of tradition nor a domain merely representing insulated private lives. Rather, it is implicated in malleable yet overpowering structures, relationships, and practices. If the 'family' is a crucial site of ideological and imaginative investments playing a critical role in reproducing and defining contemporary selves and societies, 'families' are responsive to and constrained by the complex dynamics in which they are enmeshed. Family relationships remain fundamental to survival and security even as policy and legislative imperatives as well as reproductive and communication tech...
Marathi
Marathi, an Indo-Aryan language, is the official language of Maharashtra, including Mumbai. Father Thomas Stephens, the first English traveler to Goa, a pioneer linguist, wrote "Christa Puran" in Marathi (1616) and "Arte da Lingoa Canarim" in Portuguese, printed in (1640). The latter is a grammar of Konkani, a language closely related to Marathi. It is the first grammar of its kind marking a new grammatical tradition for modern Indo-Aryan languages. The present volume contains an extensive account of Marathi phonology, morphology, word formation and syntax. It succinctly describes the accentual system, special compound verb forms, unique pronominal anaphors, complex agreement due to split ergative system, and special pronominal marking. The book also contains a case study of a child s acquisition of Marathi and an essay on Women s Language, the two topics that are increasingly becoming relevant to the grammar."
Hero Vol.1
This volume traces the growth of the indigenous Hindi film hero from the silent era up to Dilip Kumar. The film hero is depicted as a credible representative of the social, cultural and political milieu of his era. The author contends that the development of Hindi cinema has been largely centered round the frontal figure of the hero. In the course of the narrative, the subject matter presents a compact history of mainstream Hindi cinema by placing personalities, events and trends in specific time frames.
