Hardcover. Condition: New. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar : A Social Reformer and Architect of the Indian Constitution written by Dr. Sumita Sinha seeks to showcase the meteoric rise of a socially backward and economically disadvantaged mahar boy who attained eminence in life as a social reformer and Constitution maker in the national history of India. The story of his life is a brilliant saga of a multifaceted genius who played a very important role as a jurist, economist, politician, social reformer and a Constitution maker. He dazzled the social and political firmament of India and left behind an indelible stamp in the national life. He was posthumously conferred the Bharat Ratna , the highest civilian award for his seminal contribution to national life.

He came to realize from his experiences that these social maladies were the inevitable consequences of graded inequality which is an offshoot of caste system prevailing in our society. He felt the need for the transformation of our society without which the upliftment of the untouchables cannot be done. All his social crusades were directed towards the achievements of this goal. When Ambedkar was engaged in framing the Constitution of India, he had at the back of his mind, the welfare and upliftment of the socially downtrodden people. He incorporated many provisions and safeguards in the Constitution to create a just society in which the untouchables will be able to live a life of dignity and respect like the rest of the Indian people. The Constitution of India as drafted under his dynamic and foresighted leadership, remains a unique document for building a Just society .…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Architects, development practitioners and designers are working in a global environment and issues such as environmental and cultural sustainability matter more than ever. Past interactions and interventions between developed and developing countries have often been unequal and inappropriate. We now need to embrace fresh design practices based on respect for diversity and equality, participation and empowerment. This book explores what it means for development activists to practise architecture on a global scale, and provides a blueprint for developing architectural practices based on reciprocal working methods. The content is based on real situations - through extended field research and contacts with architecture schools and architects, as well as participating NGOs. It demonstrates that the ability to produce appropriate and sustainable design is increasingly relevant, whether in the field of disaster relief, longer-term development or wider urban contexts, both in rich countries and poor countries.…
