Writings on Indian Anthropology and Anthropologists
For the purpose of celebrating 100 years of teaching anthropology in India, the Council of the Indian Anthropological Society undertook a programme of organizing a series of Special Lectures in the cherished memory of a selected group of distinguished anthropologists of India who immensely contributed to the growth of Indian anthropology in three of its sub-disciplines over the last 10 decades. Thus, in all 14 special lectures were organized by the Society in collaboration with 14 different institutions engaged in either teaching and/or research in Anthropology. However, we have received 11 articles written by senior anthropological scholars for publication in this book. The distinguished anthropologists whose life and academic contributions are portrayed in this book are: B. K. Roy Burman, B.N. Saraswati, U. Deka, P.K. Bhowmik, L.P. Vidyarthi, P.K. Ganguly, G. Sarana, D.P. Mukherjee, B.N. Banerjee, D.K. Bhattacharya and A. Basu. It is expected that this rich collection of papers should be of much help to all serious students of anthropology, providing them with enough motivating spirit to work towards the advancement of anthropology.
Gandhi and the Contemporary World
This book develops a critical understanding of Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy and practice in the context of contemporary challenges and engages with some of his key work and ideas. It highlights the relevance of Gandhi’s legacy in the quest towards peace-building, equity and global justice. The volume examines diverse facets of Gandhi’s holistic view of human life – social, economic and political – for the creation of a just society. Bringing together expert analyses and reflections, the chapters here emphasise the philosophical and practical urgency of Gandhi's thought and action. They explore the significance of his concepts of truth and nonviolence to address moral, spiritual and ethical issues, growing intolerance, conflict and violence, poverty and hunger, and environmental crisis for the present world. The volume serves as a platform for constructive dialogue for academics, researchers, policymakers and students to re-imagine Gandhi and his moral and political principles. It will be of great interest to those in philosophy, political studies, Gandhi studies, history, cultural studies, peace studies and sociology.

Recent Research in Pāṇinian Studies
The present volume is a continuation of the bibliography and study presented in Panini, A Survey of Research, first published in the Netherlands (The Hague: Mouton & Co., 1976), subsequently published in India (Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, 1980) and reprinted in 1997. The basic format adopted for the first survey is observed here: a bibliography of major work done since 1975, including materials which came to the author`s knowledge up to December of 1997, is followed by his appraisal of this work with extensive references to primary sources which are the bases of scholarly discussions and notes.
