  • Language and Literature
    1 Indian Languages and Literature Introduction Thousands of years ago, the people of the Harappan civilisation knew how to write. Unfortunately, their script has not yet been deciphered. Despite this setback, it is safe to state that the literary traditions of India go back to over 3,000 years ago. India is a huge land with a continuous history spanning several millennia. There is a staggering degree of variety and diversity in the languages and dialects spoken by Indians. This diversity is a result of the influx of languages and ideas from all over the continent, mostly through migration from Central, Eastern and Western Asia. There are differences and variations in the languages and dialects as a result of several factors – ethnicity, history, geography and others. There is a broad social integration among all the speakers of a certain language. In the beginning languages and dialects developed in the different regions of the country in relative isolation. In India, languages are often a mark of identity of a person and define regional boundaries. Cultural mixing among various races and communities led to the mixing of languages and dialects to a great extent, although they still maintain regional identity. In free India, the broad geographical distribution pattern of major language groups was used as one of the decisive factors for the formation of states. This gave a new political meaning to the geographical pattern of the linguistic distribution in the country. According to the 1961 census figures, the most comprehensive data on languages collected in India, there were 187 languages spoken by different sections of our society.

Our social development actions Our social development 1 Friends Focus September 2016 September 5th is celebrated as Teachers’ Day every year from 1962 in India for the appreciation of teachers. The day commemorates the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan, a philosopher and a teacher par excellence, and his contribution towards Indian education system. Dr Radhakhrishnan believed that "teachers should be the best minds in the country". On this day, we gratefully remember the great educationist, apart from honoring all the teachers who have made our life much more knowledgeable and fulfilled, as serving as our beacons of light. In this tradition, FMPB also serves many young minds who are deprived of their right to get educated, by providing quality education and other needed things for a child. In addition to running children homes, day care centers and primary schools we also run two English Medium Schools in Gujarat and Jharkhand in the neediest districts. Thus far, 192 children have completed their 10th std and 83 have completed their 12th std. from the Jhavda school in Gujarat.

  • Aryan and Non-Aryan Names in Vedic India. Data for the Linguistic Situation, C
    Michael Witzel, Harvard University Aryan and non-Aryan Names in Vedic India. Data for the linguistic situation, c. 1900-500 B.C.. § 1. Introduction To describe and interpret the linguistic situation in Northern India1 in the second and the early first millennium B.C. is a difficult undertaking. We cannot yet read and interpret the Indus script with any degree of certainty, and we do not even know the language(s) underlying these inscriptions. Consequently, we can use only data from * archaeology, which provides, by now, a host of data; however, they are often ambiguous as to the social and, by their very nature, as to the linguistic nature of their bearers; * testimony of the Vedic texts , which are restricted, for the most part, to just one of the several groups of people that inhabited Northern India. But it is precisely the linguistic facts which often provide the only independent measure to localize and date the texts; * the testimony of the languages that have been spoken in South Asia for the past four thousand years and have left traces in the older texts. Apart from Vedic Skt., such sources are scarce for the older periods, i.e. the 2 millennia B.C. However, scholarly attention is too much focused on the early Vedic texts and on archaeology. Early Buddhist sources from the end of the first millennium B.C., as well as early Jaina sources and the Epics (with still undetermined dates of their various strata) must be compared as well, though with caution. The amount of attention paid to Vedic Skt.

  • The Witness of New Christian Movements in India
    Paper for the IAMS assembly in Malaysia 2004 IAMS Conf. Malaysia 31 July--7 Aug 2004 DRAFT PAPER 10,590 WORDS…. THE WITNESS OF NEW CHRISTIAN MOVEMENTS IN INDIA Roger E. Hedlund INTRODUCTION: This paper will focus on new Christian movements indigenous to India most of which are not well known to outsiders but are active, contextual and vibrant in witness. Indigenous Christianity which had significant growth in the twentieth century has roots in earlier attempts in Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. It includes the National Missionary Society and numerous other Indian initiatives. Asian incarnations of the gospel are found in historic as well as non-traditional Churches of several countries, but especially in India. Some of the independent Churches are perceived as deviant in theology or characterized by folk religious practices. Through their worship, practice and teaching many independent Churches respond to the day to day experience and grass-roots culture of the people. Theirs is a vigorous expression of Christian faith and witness of the Spirit in Asia today. HISTORIC PRECEDENCE An indigenous Church is one rooted in the culture from which it grows. Indigenous Christian movements are those which arise from within the local context. Unfortunately in India not infrequently Christianity is erroniously perceived as a foreign religion, less than Indian. The examples which follow are demonstrations of what Lamin Sannah calls “the translatability of the Gospel” as well as authentic Indian incarnations of Christian faith. “Translatability is the source of the success of Christianity across cultures.”1 The earliest example of indigenous Christianity in India is found in the St.

    The purpose of God’s call in your life is not to make you number one in the world but to make Him number one in your life 1 Kerith June'14 Cricket gambling In IPL Season6, star teams like Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals were found to be involved in gambling and both the teams were not allowed to play in the next season by the Supreme Court. Every player was bought for a price which included crores and the companies which came forward to buy them were on the verge of their defeat. It was found that if the teams were not allowed to play there would be a loss of about 20,000 crores. Even if the players were loyal in their play, the crooked minds around them made the IPL a place of gamble. Though it is a six or a wicket, everything is bought by money through gambling. If this continues loyal players will be hard to find. Kindly pray that a sport should be a sport and not a mere gamble game for money. Let the players think about their duty as a player. Let this not be spoiled.
