'Maharaj' to his family, `Lord Snooty' to his county mates in Lancashire and `Dada' to his team, 29-year-old Sourav Ganguly has in the past few years rewritten the rules of captaincy for the Indian team. Unlike several of his predecessors, he is seen as an impartial, non-parochial captain, forever pushing his players to perform better. Off the field, his interactions with the media and his fans (and detractors) have been uncompromisingly honest and have earned him the respect of cricket followers everywhere. |

This research, which is based on fieldwork at Mount Govardhan (District Mathura, U.P.), fully documents gastronomic ideas and practices of several large Hindu sects, thereby adding to previous anthropological accounts of culinary habits in diverse regional, caste and village settings. In addition, Food from the Mouth of Krishna sheds new light on several classic problems of Indian sociology most notably, on the distinction, in matters of ritual form, between sects that are monastic in orientation and those which are householder-centred, and on the dynamic interdependence in pilgrimage settings of sectarian and non-sectarian patterns of worship. The book will prove useful to readers who seek a broader understanding of practical religion in India and a better appreciation of bhakti's social and religious diversity. Autlior's innovative approach and richly detailed case studies chart the fascinating course of one of the most vibrant and active sources that feed India's religious mainstream. |

In 1955, India's Protection of Civil Rights Act went into effect. Some gains have been made under it, but, in most of rural India where the majority of Untouchables live, its promise remains largely unfulfilled. The reasons for this legislative failure are the subject of the inquiry undertaken by Professor Khosla in this brilliant, unique book. |
|
Professor Khosla is convinced that positive changes have taken place, but he believes that the most important are operating at subterranean psychological levels. They may be attributed less to the intervention of legal processes and more to the diffusion of certain ideas associated with the legislation and the activation of latent demands for human dignity and equality. There are many lessons to be learned from this study by lawyers everywhere, for virtually every community on our planet is involved in process of social and psychopersonal change under governmental stimulus. |
|
Despite the human misery it must explore, this is an optimistic book. For all of its meticulous method and scrupulous use of data, this is a romantic book. It is animated by a deep belief in the inherent dignity of all people and their unceasing demand for systems of public order which permit that dignity to flourish. It believes that law, taught and applied in an appropriate jurisprudential frame, can make a difference. Dr. Khosla has made a contribution to the literature of a scientific and policy-directed study of law. At the same time, he has offered us a luminous testament of the abiding quest of individual human beings for dignity and freedom. |

This book deals with castes which practised female infanticide in west and north India during the 19th and 20th centuries. It shows how female infanticide was closely linked to the social structure of castes such as the Rajputs, Lewa, Patidars Kanbis, Jats, Ahirs and Khutris. Further, it shows how female infanticide was related to hypergamy, status gradation within caste and avoidance of substantial dowry payments by parents on daughters weddings, caste ethos, the milieu in which the caste(s) lived and so on. The book argues that female infanticide was not only caste specific but also under conditions of colonial rule, female infanticide was a mechanism for maintenance of social status and dominance. The book contains an indepth analysis ofBritish policies for the suppression of female infanticide and draws attention to the significant changes in their strategies which shifted from Orientalism based on Shastra and Purana to coercion (in 1830's) by mid-19th century. The colonial rulers were resorting to a strategy which involved persuading some of the castes which practiced female infanticide to take to reciprocal marriages and give up hypergamy. The book raises important questions about British humanitarianism. It points out that the British rulers were neither overzealous social reformers nor mute spectators of some Hindu customs which a section of the British establishment considered as repugnant. The book uses the comparative framework to analyze female infanticide in north and west India, particularly Tamil Nadu which recently acquired prominance with reference to female infanticide is also discussed. |

The correspondence between Maulana Abdul Bari of Firangi Mahal and Mahatma Gandhi (mainly in English) is extensive and deserving of a much longer piece, perhaps even a book. The purpose of this essay is to put in context the Urdu Letters that Mahatma Gandhi wrote to Maulana Abdul Bari (the author’s grandfather). |
