The human rights idea is universal now. It has virtually been accepted by all nations, states and societies, the world over. Over the years, the concept of human rights has assumed importance globally, in fact, the respect for Human Rights only makes freedom meaningful and really effective. Still, the protection of human rights is a constant fight, which cannot culminate into success, until and unless every individual gets involved in it. The society is not to be ...
SAARC, a regional organisation is small but significant in its own right. Its importance lies in its strategic value and the special position, that its area of operation—the South Asian region—holds. South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) includes only seven nations, some of them small in size and population. But this does not lessen its relevance in the new world order and the role it aims to play in the continental and global perspective. ...
Indian Woman has been the subject of study and keen interest for academics, fiction writers and artists for centuries. Still, full justice has not been done to her, as most of the studies seem to be ‘not research oriented’ but rather superficial as well as without any objective. This study has been accomplished in view of the dearth of good books on the subject. This is the result of painstaking research, spanned over years and lot of toilsome work done for ...
History is the mirror of a society, which shows us our real face. In it we see our present through past and get warned about future. It is a laboratory which proves things right or wrong for a civilization. A lot can be learnt by reading history between the lines.

Secularism is one of the main theme in contemporary discourse. But most often there is vehemence and intolerance surrounding the discussion. In such charged atmosphere the author is sympathetic without being partisan to the cause she is arguing for. Such a level of discussion is particularly desirable in the halo of academe where the importance of secular values in our educational system can hardly be overestimated. In fact, there is growing awareness among our ...

Regretfully, the number of working children in our country is increasing every year and that is despite all efforts and claims made by the Government, Social Organisations and NGOs, in this regard.

In India "Library and Information Science" is relatively a new discipline and people in this country are yet to evaluate it properly. The Library movement in India has come of age now, but the appreciation of the nature and amount of work involved in organizing a library for the service of society, is not much. In fact, we as a nation and as a society are far from being part of the library culture, which is very much in vogue in the West. The author has ...

We find that from the very beginning of the world history, women have been at the receiving end, cutting ...

However new walls of caste, class, region, ...

Viewed in this context the existence of tribal society in India is generally believed to have its linkage with the Indian Civilization. They continue to be a dominant social formation of traditional Indian social structure. The imperialistic design of the British colonial rule was ...
This book is distinctly different from the normally available literature on the subject. The approach during this entire work (on the book) is firstly to identify and analyse the root causes of major irritants between the two nations (India and Pakistan), in their historical perspective and then to suggest some likely solutions to these deep rooted problems. This book begins with an examination of the various irritants which had their roots in the partition. The ...
Deterrence has been a feature of the behaviour of individuals, nations and states since the time immemorial. But since the Second World War deterrence has acquired a special significance, particularly because of the development of weapons of mass destruction. It would not be exaggeration to say that in the Post-War period peace and stability have largely been functions of the policy and strategy of deterrence. There is a lot of literature available on nuclear ...

This is because such resources are sometimes deplete to such an advanced level that their natural recovery fails to take place, even when the exploitation has ceased. The forests are still contributing about two per cent to National Domestic ...

The nuclear weapons states put pressure today on non-nuclear countries not to proliferate while raising ...

In the perception of external observers this development combined with the existing patterns of conflictual relationships, large conventional military machines and military dictatorships and authoritarian regimes intensifies the potential for conflict in South Asia. South Asia regionally presents a picture of marked contrasts in ...
