Описание: A widely-accepted explanation for India`s national unity is a narrative called the bhakti movement-poet-saints singing bhakti from India`s southern tip to the Himalayas between 600 and 1600. John Hawley shows that this narrative, with its political overtones, was created by the early-twentieth-century circle around Rabindranath Tagore in Bengal.

Описание: While development has been the foremost agenda before successive governments in India, it has been viewed narrowly–from the perspective of economic development and particularly in terms of gross domestic product (GDP). This book questions such an approach. It breaks from the conventional wisdom of GDP growth as being a definitive measure of the success of a country’s policies and offers an alternative development philosophy. The author contends that people’s economic and social welfare, life satisfaction, self-fulfilment and happiness should be treated as indicators of real development. The book underlines that in a successful model of development, the country’s economic policies will have to synergize with its cultural ethos and that the objective of development should be gross national happiness and well-being of the people. This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of development studies, economics, public policy and administration, governance, political science andsociology, as well as topolicymakers.

Описание: I can predict question papers. There, I have your attention now. It's true, I can. My name is Ira Bhatt and I've just told you my biggest secret. To be honest, it's not much of a secret any more. It all started when I sat for an exam once, without studying for it, and got full marks. I wish I could say I'm a prodigy, but I'm not. I've just got superpowers. That's like the best thing ever. Not. Throw in a gang of friends desperate for help and the evil Five Star chocolate addict who heads the tuition centre, and it's the perfect set-up for one disaster after the other. Delicious, hilarious, and uber cool, But Ira Said is the story of a girl everyone would want to be - or would they?
