The Ganges River
Author: Earle Rice
Publisher: Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.
ISBN: 1612283683
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
The Ganges is India’s holiest river. But to millions of devoted Hindus, it is much more than just a river. It is also a goddess and a benevolent mother—Ganga Ma or Great Mother. To her devotees, bathing in “Mother Ganga” washes away all sin, drinking her waters heals all illness, and dying on her banks ensures deliverance from the cycle of death and rebirth. Or so they believe. Ganga Ma begins at the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayas. Her waters plunge spectacularly out of the lofty mountains, meander lazily across India’s broad Gangetic Plain into Bangladesh, and finally spread out fan–like with a thousand watery fingers to empty into the Bay of Bengal. For more than 1,500 miles, the watery personification of the goddess Ganga sustains life in one of the world’s most densely populated regions, and charts a spiritual course to eternal contentment for most of India’s Hindu masses.

India 1885-1947
Author: Ian Copland
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317877845
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
The establishment of the Indian National Congress in 1885 marked a turning point in modern South Asian history. At the time, few grasped the significance of the event, nor understood the power that its leader would come to wield. From humble beginnings, the Congress led by Gandhi would go on to spearhead India s fight for independence from British rule: in 1947 it succeeded the British Raj as the regional ruling power. Ian Copland provides both a narrative and analysis of the process by which Indians and Pakistanis emancipated themselves from the seemingly iron-clad yoke of British imperialism. In so doing, he goes to the heart of what sets modern India apart from most other countries in the region its vigorous democracy.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
India : A Cultural Voyage India is a land of eternal resurgence. Writing history might or might not have been a vocation with ancient Indians. Creating history through a ceaseless process of an on-looking culture has definitely been a divine pastime. Cultural strides in India through more than thirty centuries are the theme of this book. It provides an insight to survey linkages of those strides lauded and aspired for by mankind. The book is an ocean encased in a crystal bowl with inner appearances made to whisper in truer lights. The book traces the voyage of Indian Culture through its excellence in the realms of religion, philosophy, and aesthetics. languages and sciences with a lively and unique system of deciphering unity in diversity. The book is a reincarnation of an undying echo of the ageless joy, of a great surrender to the bliss. In conformity with the general design, the book contains READINGS from Kadambari, Mahabharata, Gandhi, secular saints, and from flora and festivals. They resurrect glimpses of authenticity in the inner landscape of India's presences-spiritual and material.
