agrarian societies in modern India, and the

vi, 248p. , 23cm.
ISBN : 9781107014114.
322.4 GAN 141438
The book shows how Gandhi-s non-violent protests were the
subject of widespread discussion and debate in the USA
and UK for several decades. Though at first
misrepresented by Western newspapers, they were patiently
described and clarified by a devoted group of
cosmopolitan advocates. Small groups of Westerners
experimented with Gandhian techniques in virtual
anonymity and then, on the cusp of the 1960s, brought
these methods to a wider audience.

ISBN : 9780226156415.

Hindu and Greek mythologies teem with stories of women
and men who are doubled, who double themselves, who are
seduced by gods doubling as mortals and whose bodies are
split or divided. This book recounts and compares a vast
range of these tales from ancient Greece and India, with
occasional recourse to more recent "double features" from
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" to "Face/Off." argues that myth
responds to the complexities of the human condition by
multiplying or splitting its characters into unequal
parts, and these sloughed and cloven selves animate
mythology-s prodigious plots of sexuality and mortality.

tracts, pamphlets, brochures, booklets of various
medicine shops and drug manufacturing companies
functioning in the colonial era. This work analyses the
medical market and entrepreneurship in medicine in
colonial India. It deconstructs the then prevalent
-advertisements-, treating them both as a reflection on
the contemporaneous values and lifestyles and as a medium
for the creation of medical consumers.

the last Aleran legions must formulate a dangerous new
strategy, together. For a civilisation is on the brink of
extinction.

This book analyses the system of personal law in colonial
India through a re-examination of women-s rights.
Focusing on Hindu law in western India, it challenges
existing scholarship, showing how - far from being a
system based on traditional values - Hindu law was
developed around ideas of liberalism, and that this
framework encouraged questions about equality, women-s
rights, the significance of bodily difference, and more
broadly the relationship between state and society.
