The book is about a village boy, who got rearing under the patronage of God-fearing mother and disciplinarian father, who was running a grocery shop in the nearby town. Struggling with the least facilities in the village and later in the nearby town, the boy could become lecturer in a degree college. Though he lost his job, the young boy was determined not to give up and succeeded in getting job in NCERT- The National level body. The book has many interesting innovations in education that are discussed including a chapter on the infamous Bhopal Gas tragedy of 1984. Later, the young teacher got an invitation from Manchester University for joining the course on EPPAM, thus initiating exposure to culture and functioning of a developed country. Thus adding anecdotes from U.K. Paris, New York, Sydney, Gold Coast, Auckland, and San Francisco, the autobiography also explores the Covid- 19 pandemic, and proposes meditation as conceived during Kriya Yoga.
This is the first book of its kind in which an attempt has been made to brain-scan some of the judgments of the Supreme Court as well as of various high courts and then to link up the results with the objectives of planned development as enumerated in successive Five-Year Plans. The results of this clinical experiment reveal that the entire Industrial Jurisprudence evolved thus far is based on the concepts of Social Justice, Industrial Peace and Job Security. But in practice, Social Justice has promoted inequality, Industrial Peace has failed to accelerate productive activities of the country for the benefit of the community, and Job Security has promoted indiscipline and inefficiency. There...
In the 21st century every sixth human being will be Indian. India is very close to becoming the second largest consumer market in the world, with a buying middle class numbering over half a billion.It is in the top ten in overall GNP. Yet at least 200 million Indians remain desperately poor. Illiteracy rates are high. Communal violence is widespread; corruption endemic. Brides are still tortured and burnt for dowries; the caste system has lost little of its power and none of its brutality. How are we to make sense of these two, apparently contradictory, pictures of India today? And how can we overcome the many misconceptions about India that are fed by the stereotypes created by foreigners and the myths about themselves projected by Indians? In Being Indian, Pavan Varma, whom the Guardian has called 'one of the country's most perceptive writers', demolishes the myths and generalisations as he turns his sharply observant gaze on his fellow countrymen to examine what really makes Indians tick and what they have to offer the world in the 21st century.
The book relates to the period as back as 1893 when my 50 years' grandfather married my 22 years old grandmother. My ancestors were extremely poor since there was not sufficient yield from the agricultural land, it having gone barren for want of adequate sources of irrigation, and also due to the low prices of the produce. My grandfather passed away in 1901 when my father was just 3 years old and there was nothing left behind to enable the family to make both ends meet. Consequently, my father, on turning 7 years, was deployed by my grandmother as a domestic servant in various houses to clean dirty utensils and clothes. Subsequently in the year 1921 my father, when he was 23 years old, was t...
This book provides readers with a concise introduction to current studies on operator-algebras and their generalizations, operator spaces and operator systems, with a special focus on their application in quantum information science. This basic framework for the mathematical formulation of quantum information can be traced back to the mathematical work of John von Neumann, one of the pioneers of operator algebras, which forms the underpinning of most current mathematical treatments of the quantum theory, besides being one of the most dynamic areas of twentieth century functional analysis. Today, von Neumann’s foresight finds expression in the rapidly growing field of quantum information th...
