Hardcover. Condition: New. This book is an ode to the mythological heritage of Bharatnatyam. The visual narrative captures the rich heritage of this temple dance and its original Exponents, the devadasi or 'handmaidens of the deity'. Its repertoire of movements and moods bring alive the fascinating stories of Hindu gods and goddesses and their kaleidoscopic lives. In the following pages, the authors have traced the myths and legends that are cherished in our performing arts, to delight the culture curious reader. And what is interesting is that in these stories, the reader will discover the inter-connectedness of ancient mythologies around the world - sparring Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, Egypt. Perhaps such discoveries go a long way in validating the role that art plays in connecting civilizations. The book is designed to engage the reader without pedagogy or Scholastic strictures, but with a lightness of touch, that entertains while it informs. Because the vision here is to weave information, anecdotes and trivia, together in the spirit of a popular cultural ranconteur. Replete with rare photographs curated from the Sohinimoksha World Dance and Communications archives, complemented by a lucid narrative that wraps facts in the language of romance and adventure, this book promises to be a collector item for those who value the legacy of India's most celebrated dance form.…

Mid day meal programme and its impact in Tura Region on West Garo Hills/Govinda Prasad Bhandari. Index. Population question in the northeast region assumed critical dimension from the 1950s onward. This happened mainly because of the externally induced demographic growth in this region. Many movements took place in the mean time in the region to address the issue. Yet over the last four decades this question remained unresolved. From social policy angle the states of this region exhibited failed state syndrome. This led to both quantitative and qualitative crises of growing population in the region. In this backdrop this book gives very useful insight to the population dynamics in the region from interdisciplinary angles. The articles published in this book are well researched and touch upon the historical aspects larger issues of population growth in the region state level and micro level case studies and upon the larger policy issues pertaining to population growth and human development in this region. This book immensely contributes to the existing literature on the subject and contains strong academic value. This book is also useful for the policy makers and policy researchers in and on this region. 360 pp. …
