Product Description
Tracing global shifts in development thinking through to national level policy-making in India and its local scale implications, Sarah Jewitt employs detailed empirical data to investigate the practical value of radical populist and eco-feminist alternatives to more mainstream forms of development. The book: intervenes in gender-environment debates with reference to place-specific empirical evidence; provides a sustained critique of romanticized populist and eco-feminist approaches to rural development; critiques the romanticization of women's supposedly innate link with nature; emphasizes the socio-cultural as well as the practical importance of forests to local people; and reveals the contextually embedded but temporally fluid nature of environmental decision-making and knowledge distribution by gender, class and community. ...

Product Description
This book is a standard treatise on the Indian geography, and is an indispensable handbook for those who are interested in Indian antiquities. First published in 1871, and so naturally some portions have become to some extent antiquated in the light of more recent knowledge. However it has not been superseded and still remains indispensable. This 1924 edition has been edited and supplemented with the new introduction and notes by Surendranath Majumdar Sastri. ...

About the Book/Author/Contents
About the Book :
The volume contains twenty research papers in the fields of historical geography, history and ethnography of ancient India, based on a wide and penetrating study of ancient Indian literature ³Vedic, classical and Prakrit ³ as well as the most recent investigations in the field of epigraphy and archaeology. The author has brought to light new facts and revolutionizing interpretations of existing source material, giving the lie to the superficial derivations based on mere sound similarities, as is convincingly exemplified by his epoch-making identifications like that of Ludhiana with the Ailadhana of Valmiki`s Ramayana; of the Shiwalik hills with the Salvakagiri of Paninis` Ganapatha; among several others.

About the Author :
O.P. Bharadwaj, I.A.S., presently Director of Higher Education, Archaeology and Archives, Haryana Government and Veda Vyasa Professor of Indology, Kurukshetra University has had a very brilliant academic career, having set a record in B.A. Sanskrit (Honours) examination and again having stood first with a gist class in the M.A. (Sanskrit with Epigraphy) Examination. He again repeated the performance a third time by standing first in order of merit in the competitive examination for recruitment to the Punjab Civil Service (Executive).
Mr. Bharadwaj truly represents the tradition of stalwarts of the old I.C.S.
who combined their administrative talent with a deep interest in the literary and archaeological heritage of our ancient land. During a long career of 34 years-first four years as a college lecturer and thereafter in various judicial and administrative assignments - he kept up his abiding interest in Indological studies.
Not only has he been actively associated with the top-ranking academic bodies like the All India Oriental Conference, and the Indian History Congress, but also enriching our knowledge about ancient India by means of his brilliant research papers published in prestigious research journals.
Next to his official pre-occupations Indology remained his first love and his devotion to it is typified by his switching over from the high pedestal of administrative eminence to the relatively quiet atmosphere of a University Chair at Kurukshetra.
