The Manusmriti, the social doctrine of yore, and the Bhagvad-Gita, the spiritual tome in vogue that lay down the discriminatory dharma (duties) of the four social classes (castes) have been the bugbears of the Hindu backward classes. However, to their chagrin, of late, as the latter is being mindlessly promoted even though the former was constitutionally debunked, they began advocating that it too should be dumped in a dustbin. Ironically, the improbability of their progenitor Krishna, the architect of the Gita, relegating his own ilk to the social margins failed to dawn upon these that Gita supposedly slights, even to this day! Thus, their intellectuals, instead of seeking to reclaim their priceless heritage, albeit after ridding its interpolative garbage, tend to rubbish it a la throwing the baby with the bathwater, and needless to say they must ponder. Also, it is high time that the Gita-class stop laying store by the self-aggrandizing verses in this Vyāsa’s classic, evidently inserted by their progenitors that came to bedevil the Hindu spiritual integrity and social harmony. Likewise, the grumblers of the dalit desertions must see the need for setting the Hindu house in order to prevent the fractious poaching by the Church, if not to facilitate the ‘hoped for’ return of the prodigals. So also those who take pride that Hinduism is the only religion that reckons all faith as true, should be concerned about the ‘in vogue’ Gita that belittles some of their caste fellows. Besides, this work beckons the feminists to reckon the second of the two interpolations from it cited in the cover image that degrades them in unspeakable terms. This ‘overdue’ work, may lead the ‘denied’ Hindu castes as well as the favored folks for an objective approach to the in vogue Bhagvad-Gita which could dispel the misgivings of the former and the delusions of the latter, thereby bridging the Hindu emotional gulf with its abridged book that restores its original form. Whether or not one concurs with its propositions, this original work could be of interest to the students of logic and reasoning as well. [more]

ISBN: 978-3-7554-0996-0 Welcome to the perspicuous edition of Social Policy and Development. This easy-to-understand edition is a recommended must-have for every student of social policy. This book delivers a quick insight into the basics of social policy, planning, allied development, and the currents affairs of the subject. Social policy is a practical subject. It aids in understanding the systemic role of community builders and social workers in building a welfare state and the process of obliteration of social evils. It equips the learner to gain insight into the international efforts to tackle social upheavals. Though poverty eradication is an ideal goal, it is still a much worked-upon goal. Poverty alleviating shibboleths such as philanthropy, social service schemes, social reforms, reformative policies, etc, seem fatuous yielding exiguous results. This book will help students conclude on the anomalies in the field of the social service sector that can be regulated with strategic partnerships and ethic-infused prioritized channelization of resources and appropriately devised practical social policies. Much has been done in the past and much is still being done. The question remains would we reach an ideal place of social perfection? That remains a question till this decade, and it seems to me that it will always remain a question! [more]
