Mahabharata (Paperback) |
$12.99 $9.74 |
|
| Centuries ago, it was proclaimed of the Mahabharata: "What is not in it, is nowhere." But even now, we can use the same words about it. He who knows it not, knows not the heights and depths of the soul; he misses the trials and tragedy and the beauty and grandeur of life. More details: The Mahabharata is not a mere epic; it is a romance, telling the tale of heroic men and women, and of some who were divine; it is a whole literature in itself, containing a code of life, a philosophy... |

Des Intouchables aux Dalit : les errements d’un mouvement d’émancipation dans l’Inde contemporaine |
$35.49 $26.62 |
|
| In India, the term Dalit is claimed by those who were earlier called untouchables. They have created a movement of emancipation that reveals worrying tensions on its margins. The campaign of a journal that, in 1981, took on the title of Dalit Voice, bears testimony to this fact. Agitating against the caste system and for statutory equality, this journal, which is influential among the small elite originating from the lower castes, constitutes a remarkable example of the drift in the discourse... |

The Bhagavad Gita |
$10.83 $8.12 |

| Generations of Hindus have turned to the Gita for the solution of their religious difficulties, and its perennial popularity is due in large part to the fact that in the person of Krishna it presents the worshipper with a visible object of devotion while Arjuna represents the average good man.
