The long and continuous tradition of Rama Katha existed in many folk and oral forms before Adikavi Valmiki composed it in Sanskrit in written form as the Ramayana a book of divine harmony a bottomless and shoreless ocean of love piety and clemency. The subsequent centuries witnessed composition of Ramayana in many Indian languages like Tamil Malayalam Bengali Assamese Hindi Kashmiri Gujarati and Marathi among others. These versions share many similarities and some dissimilarities among them though their epicentral concerns remain the same. The present volume comprising more than a dozen articles by distinguished scholars discuss Ramayana in different Indian languages. The volume it is hoped would lead to mutual illumination of Rama Katha in different Indian languages and facilitate greater understanding of its timeless appeal and journey through ages. 374 pp.…

Syama Prasad Mookerjee was an academician, administrator and educational thinker, as may be discerned from his life-long engagement with education and discourses on education that he delivered on various occasions in the last two decades of his life in particular. Ironically, his contribution to domains beyond politics remains unacknowledged and a serious and vigorous consideration of his educational views and vision still eludes us to an extent that they are not a part of the discussions in the mainstream education system in India even today. The present volume endeavours to put together Mookerjee's educational discourses culled from almost all known sources till now. It is a tribute to Mookerjee, the educationist, who was committed to high ideals of Indian education and culture and strove to implement his vision in his different capacities. Be it stressing on the importance of Indian languages, the need to stay connected with the nation's civilisational strength and rich heritage, walking in step with the rest of the world in science and technology and shaping Indian education in a manner that it would appreciate the best of all religions rather than be totally cut off from them, Mookerjee's insights on education were essentially to facilitate the rediscovering of the Indian mind. This comprehensive book capturing the timeless vision of Syama Prasad Mookerjee, not just on education, but also on using education as a means to nation building and in creating a new world order with contribution from enlightened Indian minds, is a treasure for educationists, scholars, education administrators as well as the uninitiated.…
