Reddy Dear Reader, Many of my predecessors have lamented the Journal’s lack of thematic coherence; I believe that this, the 20th Anniversary, issue has taken a step forward. The first and last articles of the issue discuss gender and feminism, which you may point out isn’t really thematic coherence. This is true; however, I am proud to present a Journal comprised of eight articles, written by eight incredibly talented female authors and one equally talented male co-author on a variety of international service issues. The Journal receives many submissions for every issue with about a 45/55 split from males and females respectively, according to data from the past three years of submissions. The selection process is blind, with respect to identity and gender, and all selections are based on the merits of the writing and relevance of the content.

  • Symbiosis of Civilizations As an Important Factor in the Formation and Development of Scientific Thinking in Uzbekistan
    SYMBIOSIS OF CIVILIZATIONS AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC THINKING IN UZBEKISTAN Sharipov Shavkat Safarovich - Rector of Jizzakh State Pedagogical Institute, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, Uzbekistan [email protected] Ismatullaev Farhodjon Odiljonovich - Tashkent State Pedagogical University 07.00.01 – Candidate for the Doctorate of History of Uzbekistan, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor, Uzbekistan [email protected] Abstract: The current article discusses the impact of different civilizations on the development of scientific knowledge in the region of Uzbekistan and the high civilizations formed in the ancient regions of Central Asia. In particular, it analyzes the advanced science and cultures and harmonious combination of different civilizations that have gradually formed over the centuries as a result of various political, trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation in Uzbekistan. Keywords: Culture, symbiosis, civilization, Renaissance, Greco-Roman culture, urban planning, analytics, encyclopedia, philosophy, Islamic culture. INTRODUCTION. The consistent development of universal scientific thought is inextricably linked with the emergence and interdependence of historically different civilizations, which can be seen as a symbiosis of interactions 1 between them. In this regard, we see that the formation of the Great Silk Road and other external factors have played an important role in the development of scientific thinking in Uzbekistan. Scientific thinking is a historically stable system of generally accepted methodological standards and philosophical principles that emerges as a specific type of scientific interpretation of reality. Considering the formation of scientific thinking through the prism of the concept of “symbiosis of civilization” allows us to classify the similarities and differences of historically formed forms of thinking, as well as to analyze and predict the direction of its development.

    IJMRT • Volume 12 • Number 2 • July-December 2018: 145-153 CULINARY TOURISM IN AWADH REGION OF UTTAR PRADESH Manish Rai* and Anupama Srivastava** Abstract: Tourism is regarded as a positive force for the preservation of nature and culture. Heritage Tourism is regarded as a conceptual and operative basis that allows for a sustainable use of heritage assets. Heritage has been conceived as the identifying set of natural and cultural assets of a society with great potential for local tourist development. The concept of sustainability is based on three main goals: social, economic and ecological. Heritage tourism is a way of development intended to improve the quality of life of host communities and preservation of the environment. Heritage tourism has the potential to improve the economic vitality of numerous communities. The primary benefit of heritage tourism is its long-term economic value with high sustainable growth rates. It generates investment in the development of heritage product, complements and engages other tourism product, rejuvenates communities. It provides considerable non-economic benefits such as promoting, protecting and sustaining the heritage base; addressing traditions and values which define nations and communities; recognizing multicultural legacies linking nations; engaging local and regional governments; and furthering important educational functions. INTRODUCTION Culture and tourism have a mutually beneficial relationship which can strengthen the attractiveness and competitiveness of tourism destinations. Culture is increasingly an important element of the tourism product, which creates distinctiveness. The tourism provides an important means of enhancing culture and creating income which can support and strengthen cultural heritage, cultural production and creativity. Creating a strong relationship between tourism and culture can therefore help tourism destinations to become more attractive as well as more competitive (OCED, 2009).

I have been concerned to study the responses of Indian sufism to the growth of the colonial state, which established new forms of knowledge and new forms of order, and to the emergence of Muslim movements of revival and reform, which saw, and still see, sufism as inimical to the capacity of Muslims to sustain an Islamic society. It is a context more hostile for sufism than ever experienced before. I have approached the problem by examining the responses of three working spiritual traditions in nineteenth and twentieth century India.
