DESCRIPTION: 

Mahatma Gandhi is the most influential Indian of the twentieth century whose shadow continues to loom large over the country even sixty years after his death. He struggled and dreamt of a India free not only from the yoke of the British rule but also free from the evils of poverty, illiteracy, untouchability with all its citizens enjoying equally the fruits of freedom and prosperity. Many of his revolutionary ideas, termed as idiosyncrasies then, are fashionable concepts followed by today's generation. And the resurging popularity of 'Gandhigiri' is proof of Gandhi's continuing relevance in the twenty-first century. The book offers a fascinating peep into the mind and ideas of Gandhi and his dream for a vibrant and prosperous modern India.

DESCRIPTION:

The ideology Secularism had taken shape during the European Enlightenment (18-19 centuries). Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who had never used the term in his pre-independence writings or speeches, simply picked up a prestigious world form the Western political parlance and made it mean the opposite of what it meant in the West. The outcome of this perversion proved disastrous for the newly independent nation, as became more than obvious in due course. In pre-independent India, the 'Muslim minority' had exercised a veto on who was to be hailed as 'nationalist' and who was to be denounced as 'Hindu communalist'. Now the same 'minority' reacquired the same veto on who was to be applauded as 'secularist' and who was to be hounded out as 'communalist'. In short, the term 'secularism' in the post-independence period has been and remains no more than a euphemism for Hindu-baiting. The word 'India's' instead of 'Indian' has been used in the title of this book because there is nothing Indian about Nahruvian Secularism. In fact, the term 'secularism' in its original Western sense had remained unknown to Indian political parlance because Indians had never envisaged or experienced a theocratic dispensation before the advent of Islam and its state apparatus in this country. Even today, traditional Indian scholars do not understand what theocracy means, and how Secularism in the Western sense stands opposed to it. And this 'secularism' has not been defined as Nahruvian because it is shared in common by all political parties including the Bharatiya Janata Party.

A riot of colours is getting a vivid portrayal in the beautiful Kalamkari painting. The Kalamkari painting reveals the beauty of the tree full of leaves. The painting is being given a royal and colourful treatment by the artists of Andhra Pradesh. The painting reveals s greater degree of gracefulness and feminine nature. The resplendent tree is indeed a masterpiece in the traditional Kalamkari style of painting. The effulgence of colours and the characters that emerge on cotton fabric, help create a resplendent spread in the painting.
