Book Description
India is most tolerant state since ancient period. Ancient Indian valuable texts had been developed with tolerant sagas. All scientific invention world noticed in present time is either invented by Indian sagas or with the help of the sutras propounded by them. Einstein had accepted this fact that all west invented in modern days, were basically invented in ancient India. In Europe, scientist like Galileo was imprisoned for his invention that earth revolves round the sun, which was against the belief of Christianity. This is not the single event. There are many like it. Contrarily in India new thoughts and inventions have all along been encouraged. Religion, politics, social and scientific activities had been nurtured simultaneously in India. It is to be mentioned that patience, argument, listening of dissent views are some of the most common features of scientific development. All these traits are the basic elements of tolerance; have ever been crowned India.

Intolerance in the Most Tolerant Country
Author: Dr. Sharad Jain
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 194549719X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
For the educated intellectual class, the year 2015 suddenly became a year of rising change in the climate of intolerance, in an otherwise tolerant country. Creation of intolerance in tolerant India seems to be a secret, deep-rooted plan by a handful of conspirators to provoke eminent writers and other artists to return awards. They received the support of eminent film makers, stars, artist, historians, scientist and others. The reason cited – The lynching of a Muslim at his residence, supposedly, by an irate mob, based on the rumour of beef eating at a village near Dadri, UP. Other reasons include the murder of intellectual and nationalist Shri M. Kalburgi in Karnataka and murders of rationalists Shri Govind Pansare and Shri Dabholaker in Maharastra. Many people question as to why these eminent writers did not react when emergency was imposed, Sikhs were massacred and Kashmiri Pandits were compelled to leave the land of their ancestors and many other incidents of violence. Was their intention to defame the ruling establishment? As an enlightened Indian citizen, I thought it worthwhile to work on the subject in great detail and trace the path of tolerance and intolerance from ancient India till the twenty first century.

Religion and Nationalism in India
Author: Harnik Deol
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134635354
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
This timely and significant study explores the reasons behind the rise in Sikh militancy over the 1970s and 1980s. It also evaluates the violent response of the Indian State in fuelling and suppressing the Sikh separatist movement, resulting in a tragic sequence of events which has included the raiding of the Golden Temple at Amritsar and the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The book reveals the role in this movement of a section of young semi-literate Sikh peasantry who were disaffected by the Green Revolution and the commercialisation of agriculture in Punjab. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Deol examines the role of popular mass media in the revitalisation of religion during this period, and the subsequent emergence of sharper religious boundaries.

Rice Productivity and Food Security in India
Author: Poornima Varma
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811036926
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
This book contributes to the adoption of agricultural technology in general and to literature on the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in particular by identifying the factors that influence the decision to adopt SRI and examining SRI’s impact on household income and yield. The study also discusses the importance of SRI in achieving higher rice productivity and food security. Conducted on behalf of the Government of India’s Ministry of Agriculture from October 2014 to March 2016, the study collected detailed and extensive household-level data. As the second largest producer and consumer, India plays an important role in the global rice economy. Food security in India has been traditionally defined as having a sufficient supply of rice at an affordable price. However, in recent years rice cultivation in India has suffered from several interrelated problems. Increased yields achieved during the green revolution period and with the help of input-intensive methods involving high water and fertiliser use are now showing signs of stagnation and concomitant environmental problems due to salinisation and waterlogging of fields. Water resources are also limited; as such, water for irrigation must contend with increasing industrial and urban needs. As a result of all these factors, rice farmers have experienced a downturn in productivity growth. Since increasing the area of rice cultivation is not feasible, the additional production has to be achieved using less land, less water and fewer additional inputs. The new intensification methods for rice cultivation known as the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), which originated in Madagascar, offer a promising systemic approach to enhancing rice production at affordable costs by simultaneously reducing input requirements and causing less harm to the environment. The SRI approach is expected to enhance yield and substantially reduce water and other input requirements by altering plant, soil, water and nutrient management practices. With SRI taking firm root in India, the book examines and analyses the adoption and the economic impact of SRI in three major rice producing States of India: Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa.

Genomic Designing for Abiotic Stress Resistant Technical Crops
Author: Chittaranjan Kole
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031057066
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
This book presents deliberations on molecular and genomic mechanisms underlying the interactions of crop plants to the abiotic stresses caused by heat, cold, drought, flooding, submergence, salinity, acidity, etc., important to develop resistant crop varieties. Knowledge on the advanced genetic and genomic crop improvement strategies including molecular breeding, transgenics, genomic-assisted breeding, and the recently emerging genome editing for developing resistant varieties in technical crops is imperative for addressing FHNEE (food, health, nutrition, energy, and environment) security. Whole genome sequencing in many of these crops followed by genotyping-by-sequencing has provided precise information regarding the genes conferring resistance useful for gene discovery, allele mining, and shuttle breeding which in turn opened up the scope for 'designing' crop genomes with resistance to abiotic stresses. The ten chapters each dedicated to a technical crop and one chapter devoted to a crop group in this volume elucidate different types of abiotic stresses and their effects on and interaction with the crops; enumerate the available genetic diversity with regard to abiotic stress resistance among available cultivars; illuminate the potential gene pools for utilization in interspecific gene transfer; present brief on classical genetics of stress resistance and traditional breeding for transferring them to their cultivated counterparts; depict the success stories of genetic engineering for developing abiotic stress-resistant crop varieties; discuss on molecular mapping of genes and QTLs underlying stress resistance and their marker-assisted introgression into elite varieties; enunciate different genomics-aided techniques including genomic selection, allele mining, gene discovery, and gene pyramiding for developing adaptive crop varieties with higher quantity and quality of yields, and also elaborate some case studies on genome editing focusing on specific genes for generating abiotic stress-resistant crops.
