Indo-Russia-A-Connect-Over-Millennia.Pdf Autobiography of India Indo Russia Connect Autobiography of India INDIA CONNECTS INDO - RUSSIA A Connect Over Millennia D.K.HARI D.K.HEMA HARI BHARATH GYAN SERIES Bridging Worlds Thru Knowledge Experience The Knowledge Of India Indo – Russia A Connect Over Millennia 2 / 165 Autobiography of India Indo Russia Connect Dedication This book is a part of our series, Autobiography of India, dedicated to our twin nephews, Aditya and Varun, who along with millions of other children world over, represent for us, the future of India and the world. It is our way of transmitting to them what we have learnt from our ancestors, about our ancestors and their way of sustaining themselves and the ecosystem around them for their sustained prosperity. Also, with their names, Aditya, the name for the divine Sun and Varun, the name of the divinity for Rain, they are for us, constant reminders of how blessed this land Bharatavarsha is, to receive bountiful rain and shine consistently. Rain and Shine are what our ancestors had leveraged ingeniously which made them last across generations, as a long-lasting, prosperous civilization and a role model for millennia. Aditya and Varun seem to be telling us all, Of what use is it to complain and whine? If you do not leverage your rain and shine! It is time we also start harnessing the Rain and Shine wisely and with responsibility, for the future of this civilization as well as mankind. We get a Rainbow, Indradhanush, only when there is Rain and Shine together! It is called Indra’s Dhanush, bow, as the spectrum of colours they produce, arc the sky like a bow. Indra has a connotation of the senses of an individual and the collective consciousness of a group of people. Indradhanush has always denoted in the Indian thought, a sense of achievement and joy, as well as seen a harbinger of hope and harmony. Harmony as denoted by the diverse 7 colours merging together to form the unified, colourless light, the sign of enlightenment. On 15th August 1947, when the new country of India was born, there was so much excitement as well as turmoil that, while the transfer of power happened at the stroke of midnight of 14th / 15th August, the official flag hoisting took place only on the evening of 15th August. This was jointly attended by Jawaharlal Nehru and Lord Mountbatten, the last British Governor General of India. Indo – Russia A Connect Over Millennia 3 / 165 Autobiography of India Indo Russia Connect At this moment, miraculously, a rainbow was seen arcing across the sky, as a sign of hope of a nation just born. Aditya and Varun are divinities representing the Sun and Rain, that shower this land with bounties and create rainbows of joy and harmony. Aditya and Varun, our nephews, are representative of the children of India and the world, the future generation, to whom we want to leave behind, this legacy of knowledge, from our forefathers and from our generation.

  • How Will We Get a Book in Every Child's Hand? Together
    How will we get a book in every child’s hand? Together. Annual Report 2016-2017 1 Together, we can. It would be no exaggeration to describe the year gone by as an exceptional one – not only for the expansion of our work, but also for the ways in which this expansion has taken place. We are still relatively small, but collaboration and partnerships have enabled an impact far beyond our expectations. And certainly, farther than what we could have achieved on our own. Together, we’ve managed to create more books, both, in print, as well as digital-first titles. Together, we’ve put our minds to transforming scientific and mathematical concepts into nonfiction stories. Together, we’ve translated stories for different tribes, different regions, and different countries – starting at 21 languages, our family of translators now work in 84 languages. Together, we are creating even more joyful stories as a result of content generation campaigns like Retell, Remix, Rejoice! and Spotathon. In our quest to find new ways to spread the joy of reading among children who have little or no access to supplementary reading books, we have been delighted to discover that digital distribution via our content platform, StoryWeaver, has transformed the landscape. Many organisations have begun to distribute books in their networks, by downloading them from StoryWeaver and either using them digitally or even printing them themselves. Our committed community of donors make a huge impact on thousands of children through our crowdfunding platform, Donate-a-Book, while the equally enthusiastic tribe of Pratham Books Champions, our volunteer storytellers, take the magic of storytelling to more and more kids each year.

But in the performing arts, especially acting, women artists were found in large numbers in this period. At first they acted on the stage in theatre groups. Later, with the coming of cinema, they began to act for the screen. Cinema gave them a channel for expressing their acting talent as no other medium had before. Apart from acting, some of them even began to direct films at this early stage in the history of Indian cinema. Thus, acting and film direction was not an exclusive arena of men where women were mostly subjects. It was an arena where women became the creators of this art form and they commanded a lot of fame, glory and money in this field. In this module, we will study about some of these women.

Although primarily a source of entertainment, Indian cinema has nonetheless played an important role in carving out areas of unity between various groups and communities based on caste, religion and language. Indian cinema is almost as old as world cinema. On the one hand it has gdted to the world great film makers like Satyajit Ray, , it has also, on the other hand, evolved melodramatic forms of popular films which have gone beyond the Indian frontiers to create an impact in regions of South west Asia.

  • Coalition Between Politics & Entertainment in Hindi Films: A
    Journal of Education & Social Policy Vol. 1 No. 1; June 2014 Coalition between Politics & Entertainment in Hindi Films: A Discourse Analysis Dr. C. M. Vinaya Kumar Assistant Professor & Head Department of Journalism and Mass Communication Krishna University Machilipatnam-521 001 91-9985085530 Romesh Chaturvedi Sr. Lecturer Amity School of Communication Amity University, Lucknow Campus Uttar Pradesh, 91-9721964685 India Shruti Mehrotra Sr. Lecturer Amity School of Communication Amity University, Lucknow Campus Uttar Pradesh, India 91-9451177264 Abstract The study attempts to explore dynamics of political discourse as reflected in Hindi films. Political messages in most Hindi films are concealed within entertainment. Films use thrilling & entertaining plots mixed with political content in order to convey their messages to the public. Films not only reflect reality but also construct the political ideology. The public is generally unaware of the extent to which they are being influenced, managed and conditioned by the political discourses in Hindi films. This study attempts to conduct the discourse analysis on the Hindi film “Chakravyuh” to find how politics and entertainment are merged together to influence public opinion. The film is based on the dark, largely-unexposed world of the Naxalites fighting for their land and dignity. Discourse analysis of the film will help in exploring how an entertaining film can carry a meaningful message. For over 40 years in India, since the emergence of the Naxalite rebellion, cinema has drawn inspiration from the rupture caused by this iconic movement in Indian political history. Hindi films seem to have woken up to Naxalism, or Maoism, as it is more commonly known today.

  • States of Affect: Trauma in Partition/Post-Partition South Asia
    STATES OF AFFECT: TRAUMA IN PARTITION/POST-PARTITION SOUTH ASIA By Rituparna Mitra A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of English – Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT STATES OF AFFECT: TRAUMA IN PARTITION/POST-PARTITION SOUTH ASIA By Rituparna Mitra The Partition of the Indian subcontinent – into India and Pakistan in 1947 – was one of the crucial moments marking the break between the colonial and postcolonial era. My project is invested in exploring the Partition not merely in terms of the events of August 1947, but as an ongoing process that continues to splinter political, cultural, emotional and sexual life-worlds in South Asia. My dissertation seeks to map analytical pathways to locate the Partition and the attendant formations of minoritization and sectarian violence as continuing, unfolding processes that constitute postcolonial nation-building. It examines the far-reaching presence of these formations in current configurations of politics, culture and subjectivity by mobilizing the interdisciplinary scope of affect-mediated Trauma and Memory Studies and Postcolonial Studies, in conjunction with literary analysis. My project draws on a wide range of cultural artifacts such as poetry, cantillatory performance, mourning rituals, testimonials, archaeological ruins, short stories and novels to develop a heuristic and affective re-organization of post-Partition South Asia. It seeks to illuminate through frameworks of memory, melancholia, trauma, affect and postcoloniality how the ongoing effects of the past shape the present, which in turn, offers us ways to reimagine the future. This dissertation reaches out to recent work developing a vernacular framework to analyze violence, trauma and loss in South Asia.

  • DADASAHEB PHALKE AWARD for AMITABH BACHCHAN Relevant For: Pre-Specific GK | Topic: Important Prizes and Related Facts
    Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2019-09-25 DADASAHEB PHALKE AWARD FOR AMITABH BACHCHAN Relevant for: Pre-Specific GK | Topic: Important Prizes and Related Facts Amitabh Bachchan The country’s highest film honour, the Dadasaheb Phalke award, conferred for “outstanding contribution for the growth and development of Indian cinema” will be presented this year to Amitabh Bachchan. The first intimation of it came via a tweet by Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar in which he stated that “The legend Amitabh Bachchan who entertained and inspired for two generations has been selected unanimously for #DadaSahabPhalke award. The entire country and international community is happy. My heartiest congratulations to him. @narendramodi @SrBachchan.” Timely arrival The award, very appropriately comes in the year that marks Mr. Bachchan’s golden jubilee in cinema. He made his debut in 1969 with Khwaja Ahmad Abbas’ Saat Hindustani about seven Indians attempting to liberate Goa from Portuguese colonial rule. The same year he also did the voiceover for Mrinal Sen’s Bhuvan Shome , one of the earliest films of Indian parallel cinema. Interestingly, the Dadasaheb Phalke award itself was first presented in the year of Mr. Bachchan’s debut. It was introduced by the government in 1969 to commemorate the “father of Indian cinema” who directed Raja Harishchandra (1913), India’s first feature film, and it was awarded for the first time to Devika Rani, “the first lady of Indian cinema.” One of the most influential figures in Indian cinema for the past five decades, Mr. Bachchan, with four national awards and 15 Filmfare trophies behind him, has had a many-splendoured stint in the world of entertainment.
