The Cosmic Play of Power
In Hindu theology, Divine Power is conceived as a divine woman-the Goddess. Sometimes she is wholly autonomous and sometimes she is the divine spouse of the creator God, Siva or Visnu. She is also held to be the evolving material source of every created phenomenon. Religious texts like Puranas and Tantras have thoroughly investigated the mysterious nature of the Cosmic Goddess. Tantra as a religious practice endeavoured to show how through ritual and Yoga one may achieve the realization of the mystery of the Supreme Goddess. Authors in Sanskrit and modern Indian languages have poured out their ecstatic devotion to the Goddess. She is close to the heart of the passionate devotee, who adores h...

Local Histories/Global Designs
This book is an extended argument on the "coloniality" of power by one of the most innovative scholars of Latin American studies. In a shrinking world where sharp dichotomies, such as East/West and developing/developed, blur and shift, Walter Mignolo points to the inadequacy of current practice in the social sciences and area studies. He introduces the crucial notion of "colonial difference" into study of the modern colonial world. He also traces the emergence of new forms of knowledge, which he calls "border thinking." Further, he expands the horizons of those debates already under way in postcolonial studies of Asia and Africa by dwelling in the genealogy of thoughts of South/Central Ameri...
Doing Gender, Doing Geography
Until the 1970s gender had been invisible in analyses of social space and place in the androcentric discipline of geography. While recent contributions to feminist geography have challenged this, in India the engagement of geographers with gender, by being conservative in its choice of focus and orthodox in methodology, has been unable to destabilise the established disciplinary order. However, with younger scholars becoming increasingly interested in studying gender in geography, novel and innovative methods that include combinations of quantitative and qualitative analyses, visual sources and in-depth case studies are being tried out and accepted in geography despite its masculine legacy. ...

TRANSFORMING INDIAN MANAGERS
This story about transformations began when the country was in the upheaval of ‘change’ when organizations were craving to cope with the opening up of the economy. Changes in national and global economies made all familiar things seem outdated. Organizations and managers grappled with the transformations required to respond to the changing business landscape and acquire the required skills and role orientations. The transformation was initiated by some organizations holistically by the development of their employees across all levels. All organizations were concerned with growth, expansion, the introduction of new technology and long-serving employees. Most of them had not experienced other organizations, nor were they exposed enough to perceive the role-transformations required. They were devoted and knew their job and were perplexed at the external changes. They aspired to participate in the organization’s forward movement. However, their roles in the same or the new challenges were not clear to them. Transforming Indian Managers explores through telling, analyzing and interpreting stories.
