This volume discusses the many theoretical articulations
of non-violence. It also explores another aspect observed
in history - of non-violence as a spiritual category.
Through a critical analysis of the various intellectual
journeys that led to the emergence of non-violent
struggle as a viable form of protest and resistance, such
as the Bhoodan Movement, the call for Sampoorna Kranti,
the Chipko Movement and the Narmada Bachao Andolan, this
book enables us to evaluate and understand non-violence
in a historical perspective and appreciate its
contemporary relevance.

ISBN : 9789332700345.
305.80954 RED 141349
This book comprises the collected work of the author. The
author chooses to bring out this collection of 30 essays,
organized into three sections. The first section reflects
on how anthropology can illuminate the larger concerns
about humanity as a whole, such as the interactions
between biological and cultural processes, human
motivations and their socially approved fulfillment, the
widening of human horizons culminating in globalization,
common human rationality in the midst of cultural
diversity, and interactions between generic human nature
and environmental forces. The second section comprises
critical essays on some important theories and issues.
The third section looks at certain ethnographic studies
conducted by the author, each representing an important
facet of social, economic, political, or religious life
among the tribal and rural communities.

The book explores the idea of the Indian village in
historical and contemporary context. It examines the ways
in which this idea has ideologically interacted with the
state. It brings out the reasons for the considerable
analytical and theoretical significance that the idea of
the village has had for Indian sociology. The book is
particularly concerned with the ideological and political
implications of the idea of the village. It argues that
the village is constituted as a category through specific
discourses and practices of the state.

(Economics as social theory, 34).
ISBN : 9780415676847.
330.157 MAR 141342
This book looks at how different branches of the
Cambridge economic tradition have focused on various
aspects of this revival over time. The author shows that
classical political economy is distinct from vulgar
political economy in terms of its economic, social, and
ethical theory, with each difference resting on an issue
of ontology. Structured in three parts, the book examines
the central contested aspects of these theories, namely
the nature of value, the relationship between human
beings and social structure, and the nature of human
wellbeing. .

This book makes a contribution to the literature on
economic change by exploring the institutional transition
from state-led import substitution to deregulation and
globalization in the world-s most populous democracy-
India. It proposes a largely internally driven -tipping-
point- model of economic change, which is in sharp
contrast to the -punctuated equilibrium- model of sudden
exogenous shocks that drive transformations.

This book has assessed the pattern of climate induced
disaster in Gujarat. It argues that disasters and
development are mutually related. Disasters can create a
setback in a process of development. At the same time,
the type of development can increase or reduce the risk
due to disaster. This book has explored a regional model
for assessing the pattern of vulnerability within the
state by identifying the determinants of vulnerability
existing in the state. It has finally provided the ways
and means of integrating risk reduction strategies into
development planning and climate change policies.

the murky boundaries that separate general demarketing
