The author's direct aim in the present work is to furnish the historians of the special sciences with new material which will serve to widen the scope of their survey. The Hindus no less than the Greeks have shared in the work of constructing scientific concepts and methods in the investigation of physical phenomena, as well as of building up a body of positive knowledge which has been applied to industrial technique; and Hindu scientific ideas and methodology (e.g. the inductive method or method of algebraic analysis) have deeply influenced the course of natural philosophy in Asia-in the East as well as the West-in China and Japan, as well as in the Saracen Empire. The author has undertaken a comparative estimate of Greek and Hindu science. Hindu Philosophy om its empirical side was dominated by geometrical concepts and methods. The author has cared to see that the Sanskrit philosophic-scientific terminology, however difficult from its technical character, is rendered exceedingly precise, consistent, and expressive.

Does it make any difference to the ordinary citizen which party is in power? Whether it's a majority or a coalition? What can we do to better job prospects for India's youth? How can we create a more equal society? How do we create more world-class educational institutes? What can we do about social media warriors and trolls? In India Positive, bestselling author and columnist Chetan Bhagat brings together essays that work as a manifesto for change. Examining a gamut of subjects-from education to employment, from GST to infrastructure, from corruption to casteism-Bhagat reflects on what we can do right in order to move forward and become a truly modern, progressive country. He expresses in these pages his belief that, if we want to see reform, we-as citizens-need to be the solution. If our country is to shine, Bhagat says, we need to stand up and be 'India Positive Citizens'. In a world ridden with negativity, these simply written, perceptive and solution-driven essays are a must-read for anyone invested in the present and future of India.

Janakiharana of Kumaradasa is the first Sanskrit Mahakavya, so far as the extant literature goes, to deal solely with the whole of the Ramayana-story. Its further interest is that it was produced in Ceylon, showing thereby the wider world over which Sanskrit had its sway. After manuscripts of the full text of the poem in twenty cantos had to come to light in South India, what is now presented was the first systematic and critical study to be undertaken to the author and the text and its position vis-a-vis other Mahakavyas. In addition to the above study and the critical edition of the cantos which were at that time unpublished, the book offers an examination of the large number of extra-verses found in some MSS of the text and showing them as interpolations.

Anthropometry refers to the measurement of the human individual. Objective of the study: The study is to determine the Comparative Study on Selected Anthropometric Variables and Motor Abilities between Women Kho- Kho and Kabaddi Players of Hyderabad district. Hypothesis: There may not be any significant difference between the women Kho- Kho Players and Kabaddi Players of Hyderabad district in relation to anthropometric variables and motor abilities. Methods & Materials A total of fifty (50) subjects were randomly chosen for this study. Out of 50 players, 25 players were from Kho - Kho and 25 from kabaddi from Hyderabad district. Result and dissussio: From mean ± SD of height of kabaddi and kho - kho players were respectively 156.12±3.90 and 156.32±3.90 and the calculated t value 0.85. The mean ± SD of weight of kabaddi and kho - kho players were respectively 51.64±5.87 and 51±4.10 and the calculated t value 0.65. The mean ± SD of Arm length for kabaddi players were 71.24±4.10 and kho - kho players were 71.88±4.58, respective mean difference 0.64, standard error 4.60; leg length of the mean ± SD of kabaddi players were 90.92±6.56 and kho - kho players were 91.72±6.71, mean difference 0.80, standard error 6.14; The mean ± SD of AMSE(sit ups) for kabaddi players were 32.48±6.08 and kho - kho players were 32.40±5.51, respective mean difference 0.08, standard error 5.98 and the calculated t value 0.96; LES(SBJ) of the mean ± SD of kabaddi players were 2.03±0.21 and kho - kho players were 2.06±0.23, mean difference 0.02, standard error 0.22 and the calculated t value 0.66;Speed (50 yrd) of the mean ± SD of kabaddi players 8.63±0.54 and kho - kho were 7.96 ± 0.52, mean difference 0.66, standard error 0.53 and the calculated t value 0.5.45;The mean ± SD of Agility (St.Run) of kabaddi players and kho - kho players were respectively 9.67±0.45 and 9.35±0.60 and the calculated t value 0.04.

This book focuses on the cohering elements across various texts and traditions of India. It engages with several significant works from the Sanskrit tradition and emphasizes the need to move beyond colonial and postcolonial engagements with the enduring cultural pasts of India. The chapters are grouped in three main parts: accented rhythms, dispersed mnemoscapes and inventive iterations. It addresses questions such as: what enabled cultural communication across very divergent geographical, temporal, locational contexts and among different cultural formations of India over millennia? What is this shareable impulse that pulsates across the domains of dance, sculpture, painting, poetry, dharma, music, medicine, the lore of rivers and the epics? It explains how modern Indian languages and especially their creative and reflective nodes are unthinkable without the intricately woven textures of these interfaces and their responsive receptions. This book is of interest to philosophers, humanities students, researchers and professors as well as people interested in exploring alternatives to European traditions of thought without an alibi.

This intriguing book engages with the concept of the body in its cultural context by acknowledging and demonstrating that the human body is understood differently in Western and Indian cultures. The contributors go on to show that any attempt to put forward a single concept of the body within Indian culture would be misleading. Divided into three parts, the book examines the considerable and often conflicting variations in body images and body concepts. In Part One the contributors focus on the representation of the body in religious and philosophical texts; representations that emerged from reading, translating and interpreting classical writings from diverse historical and anthropological approaches. Through predominantly ethnographic studies, Part Two explores the role of the body in narratives and ritual performance, from dance to ritualistic ceremonies. Visualisation processes of the body are examined in Part Three, focusing on developments in modern and contemporary periods: from visual practices at the Mughal court, to the multiple bodies of the bride, and the influence of new media. This volume is a fascinating collection of articles for those in the fields of sociology and anthropology, history, religion, cultural studies and South Asian studies.
