Growing Stories from India
Author: A. Whitney Sanford
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813134129
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
The costs of industrial agriculture are astonishing in terms of damage to the environment, human health, animal suffering, and social equity, and the situation demands that we expand our ecological imagination to meet this crisis. In response to growing dissatisfaction with the existing food system, farmers and consumers are creating alternate models of production and consumption that are both sustainable and equitable. In Growing Stories from India: Religion and the Fate of Agriculture, author A. Whitney Sanford uses the story of the deity Balaram and the Yamuna River as a foundation for discussing the global food crisis and illustrating the Hindu origins of agrarian thought. By employing narrative as a means of assessing modern agriculture, Sanford encourages us to reconsider our relationship with the earth. Merely creating new stories is not enough -- she asserts that each story must lead to changed practices. Growing Stories from India demonstrates that conventional agribusiness is only one of many options and engages the work of modern agrarian luminaries to explore how alternative agricultural methods can be implemented.

Book Description
Animish belongs to the ashram of a mysterious Master in the forest of Naimisha whose antecedents, ideologies, and even name are shrouded in secrecy. When he visits the city of Mathura, along with his friend Asareer, he hears a voice from the skies warning the antagonist, Kamsa, that his nemesis would be born to his dear sister Devaki who was just married to the Yadava prince, Vasudeva. The mysterious voice claims itself as 'Akashvani', the celestial voice that can see the events of the past, the present, and the future.

Book Description
Tarana was an indifferent eater and an unenthusiastic cook until a chance encounter with a nineteenth-century Persian cookbook in Rampur's fabled Raza Library started her off on a journey into the history of Rampur cuisine and the stories around it. Part food memoir and part celebration of a cuisine, Degh to Dastarkhwan answers the question-'what constitutes and distinguishes Rampur cuisine?' Each chapter represents an emotion, an observance or a celebration. The spread of Rampuri food from the grand royal cuisine to the simple daily fare becomes the arena to express love, loss, forgiveness and spirituality. Peopled with compelling characters from all walks of life, the book is a tour de force that includes recollections of a princess to the spiritual ambience of a Sufi shrine, with stories of khansamas, weddings and funerals.

Book Description
"Circa 3230 BCE! Dwapar Yug, the end of the Third Age after Satya Yug and Treta Yug, described in the Purans! It was midnight on Ashtami Tithi in the Hindu lunar month of Bhadrapad, corresponding to August of the Gregorian calendar. After six of the darkest nights in seven years when all of his six brothers were killed soon after their birth, there came another such night. Entire Mathura mourned with winds howling and dusk giving way to an appalling rainy night. Nature seemed to enlighten one and all about the birth of the eighth child specified in the prophecy. And a God was born on earth as a mortal. Because the rising evil had to be suppressed! He was Krishn. The seventh fetus was transferred to its step-mother’s womb at three months. This fetus, after completion of the gestation period, was born as the elder brother of the God. The incarnation of Sheshnag, the king of all serpents and serpent deities, became the brother of the incarnation of Vishnu! Fourteen years of twists and turns, one after another, in the life of Krishn! Who were his friends? What games did he play? How did he grow up? When did he start playing the flute? Who was his teacher? How did he become a hero by the time he became a teenager? Did he commandeer an army in the battlefield at fourteen? Who was Radha? Who was she married to? Krishn awaits you…"

Infertility in a Crowded Country
Author: Holly Donahue Singh
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253063884
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
In Lucknow, the capital of India's most populous state, the stigmas and colonial legacies surrounding sexual propriety and population growth affect how Muslim women, often in poverty, cope with infertility. In Infertility in a Crowded Country, Holly Donahue Singh draws on interviews, observation, and autoethnographic perspectives in local communities and Lucknow's infertility clinics to examine access to technology and treatments and to explore how pop culture shapes the reproductive paths of women and their supporters through clinical spaces, health camps, religious sites, and adoption agencies. Donahue Singh finds that women are willing to transgress social and religious boundaries to seek healing. By focusing on interpersonal connections, Infertility in a Crowded Country provides a fascinating starting point for discussions of family, kinship, and gender; the global politics of reproduction and reproductive technologies; and ideologies and social practices around creating families.

Book Description
Exiled by his uncle even if not in name, Yudhishtira is determined to gain allies, something he cannot do when under the eyes of his uncle’s and cousins’ spies in Varanavata. Faking his death may seem a bit extreme, but he’s sure he has no choice if he’s to break this stalemate. Yudhishtira is certain that Suyodhana, his hated cousin, will be blamed for his supposed death, so it’s a win for him, anyway. Vasushena and Suyodhana are pleased with the news of Yudhishtira’s death, but the rumours that Suyodhana is behind it has them seething. When it turns out that Yudhishtira is not dead, and he wins the hand of Draupadi and an alliance with both Panchala and Dwaraka, they know that they have to tread carefully. Suyodhana is even ready to divide the Kingdom to get rid of his cousin. The province of Khandava will do nicely. Because Khandava is a vast jungle inhabited by the Nagas who don’t acknowledge Hastinapura’s suzerainty. But, Yudhishtira has no choice but to accept its kingship if he’s to ever achieve his ambitions. Some may baulk at genocide, but Yudhishtira has never baulked at anything that needed to be done. If that’s what it takes to win Khandava for himself, he’s ready to exterminate the Nagas. The third book of the Jaya! series continues the conflicts, trials and tribulations of the Kurus and their friends, allies and enemies.
