Human Development: A Cultural Approach PDF
the binder appeared to be chewed by a dog, I will be needing the book for another semester. I would be willing to purchase it for a substantial discount.By Donna Kennedy
Very useful for the graduate course I have taken. There are few things about hindu scriptures (Dharmasashtras) which are wrongly defined. Whatever the author talk about hindu religion and caste system is to be updated with relevant sources. The author says that 80% of the people of India are hindus. Never, Hindus are less than 50% excluding the Dalits and Tribals who are not hindus as they are not caste-ridden people. A hindu is born and die with caste and casteless people are not hindus according to hindu scriptures. Dalits and Tribal people are more than 27% of the total population of India which includes the converts of Buddhists and Christians. Muslims are 18% which includes Dalit converts. The Converts (caste people) from hinduism to Christianity are at least 3%. Sikhs and other minorities compose around 5% to 7%. India was never a Hindu nation. It was under Buddhism largely under Buddhist rulers for more than 1000 years, it was under Muslims for nearly 500 years and it was under Christians (British colonial rulers) for 300 years. You don't have specific Empire builders as hindus. Most of the hundu rulers were peripheral rulers in different places without any standing army. The author has to review his beginning chapters with actual facts which are not unhistoric. You cannot frame history with myths and stories. Buddhism is the first full-fledged religion with scientific reasons but without any god or supernatural powers. The author has no place to mention the contribution of Buddhism for human development in the Indian subcontinent. Moreover, every major religion in the world has one god as the head of the religion but hinduism has no any specific god as such. Hinduism is not a single religion and it is a religion of religions within headed by thousands of gods and goddesses.By Sakya Mohan
