The Expansion of Sanskrit 1. The expansion in India. 2. The expansion outside India. Conclusion. Bibliography. The Sanskrit Language by P.S. Filliozat has the rare distinction of being both an introductory book and a new ground breaking study. It is an introductory book because the reader gets an accurate overview of the language and it is also a new ground breaking study because Filliozat's approach harmonizes two different and complementary stands that often have been at war the western historical and comparative approach and the indigenous pandita tradition. Sanskrit is described here from these two points of view what the native speakers knew and felt about their language and what the foreign scholars did discover in their historical and comparative quest. In the Indian branch of the Indo European family of languages Sanskrit is unique by its antiquity and stability. It has remained a living language over four millenniums. It owes its quality to the efforts of linguistic awareness of the first poets and the learned who used it in the practice of the Vedic region. Right from the ancient times the grammarian Panini codified the procedures of formation of Sanskrit words. Some centuries later his commentator Patanjali codified the procedures of interpretation of text. Sanskrit is properly the language generated and interpreted with such codes. The cultured Sanskrit user or Pandit is one who has not only learnt the language but also knows to use it and to analyse it with the same tools. Thus Sanskrit has always been a powerful instrument of culture and intellectual creation. It has been the learned language of Pandits a link language between the diverse regions of the entire Indian subcontinent the medium of all scientific and technical knowledge a language of religious teaching and practice. It has spread over the whole of Asia to the East of Iran. This book by taking into account the western and the Indian view offers a very balanced presentation of its subject and reflects the latest tendencies in indological studies. The richness of Sanskrit comes here in all its fullness both as a living tool of expression and as an outstanding member of the Indo European family. 135 pp. Seller Inventory # 57938

India After Liberalisation: An Overview
Seller: Vedams eBooks (P) Ltd, New Delhi, India
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: New. The 1991 liberalisation was India's biggest moment in its economic history after independence. As its effects began to percolate into how India lived and worked, the potential it had to lift the country and its millions out of the 'Hindu' rate of growth began to become apparent. Thirty years later, we seem to be on the cusp of a different story. In India after Liberalisation, Bimal Jalan offers a wide-angle view of how liberalisation has shaped up over the intervening decades. What emerges is the story of a country best placed to catch the tide to high growth and a system that, time after time, fails to live up to the challenge of decision making. For any student of economic history or policymaker or participant, who wants to understand why we are where we are, this is a timely, telling and essential guide. Seller Inventory # 138940

"In India the national debate on education has been quite broad-based, comprehensive and all-embracing. The NEP 1986 (modified in 1922), therefore, provides meaningful perspectives and indicates what largely needs to be done--the objectives are clearly defined and the strategies adequately pinpointed. We now need three things: a clear grasp of various issues in education, downright avoidance of cumbersome treatises along philosophical lines, and a marked emphasis on implementation. National policy on Education : An Overview seeks to fulfil this need. It has seventeen fresh and perceptive articles by reputed experts, educationists and managers of education on various aspects of the policy. Subjects covered include: literacy, drop-outs and stagnation, elementary education, women's education, education for scheduled castes & tribes, Navodaya Vidyalayas, vocational education, autonomous colleges, examination reforms, academic calendar, distance education, physical education and sports, textbooks integral education KVS, values for education, and management of education. The contributors suggest practical approaches and workable strategies to attain the avowed goals. Within the overall frame-work of the policy, they present critical analyses, wherein areas of strength and weaknesses are located, case-studies and micro-planning favoured, integral and holistic viewpoints commended."
