JaiBhim Books- Books on India & the Original Indians

upliftthem@yahoo.com (Saint) — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 02:25:00 +0000

We remember, respect and upheld the Works, Services and Values of Bheemarao Ramji Ambedkar and his teaching, the Father of Modern India and the Greatest Humanitarian of this 21st Century.

There is no parallel in India to this man Dr.Ambedkar, who stood for the Righteousness, for the right cause and for the right people. Unlike any Indian of this century, most of them are tainted, sexual weirdo's, corrupted, frauds and thieves, rapists and destroyed India's values, but Dr.Ambedkar stood Tall as the most Honest and wholesome man with impeccable human record, human values and dignity, he upheld Buddha's teachings before his Death. He is the Real India and his people are the Real Indians. Dr.Ambedkar did not just work for a section or part of the society, he brought the heterogeneous mess of India into One Under the Constitution of India.

Know Dr.Ambedkar, Know India

Know Buddha, Know Life

Without Buddha and Dr.Ambedkar, India would be a totally devastated & utterly 100% Corrupt Nation.

On this April 14 the Great Day of "Father of Modern India Dr.B.R.Ambedkar",

Let the World Know and Celebrate a Real Hero of Humanity

Eleanor Zelliot's Understanding Dr.B.R.Ambedkar

Understanding Dr. B. R. Ambedkar

Eleanor Zelliot ¹*

¹ Carleton College

ABSTRACT

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, also called Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in affection and respect, was born in 1891 in a Mahar Untouchable family and died in 1956

after a lifetime of service to his people and to India. His influence has spread throughout India and his image, a Western-dressed gentleman pointing to the future and carrying a book, is found in many villages and all cities.

The book represents the Constitution of independent India. His followers know the facts of his life and are so reverential that one right wing critic called him a 'false God'. The word now used broadly for Untouchables, Tribals, and other low castes and classes is 'Dalit', which means ground down, but began a proud use in the 1970s with a literary movement called 'Dalit Sahitya', made famous at first by the 'Dalit Panthers' named in reference to the militant American 'Black Panthers'. Like the word 'Black', it can be a source of controversy today. The term coined by Mohandas K. Gandhi, 'Harijan' or people of God, was resented by Ambedkar as patronizing, and the two also clashed over the idea of separate electorates for untouchables; Gandhi's win is still resented by some as depriving Dalits of their chosen leaders. Dr. Ambedkar's influence may be seen in literature, in educational and political institutions, in a massive Buddhist conversion, and in increased pride and self-confidence among Dalits.

Against Ecological Romanticism: Verrier Elwin and the Making of an Anti-Modern Tribal Identity, By Archana Prasad

upliftthem@yahoo.com (Saint) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:11:00 +0000

From the Publisher:
The three essays in this book develop

a systematic critique of the romanticised notions of tribal life, identity and ecology that informs so much of today’s scholarship as well as the popular perceptions and ‘everyday commonsense’ relating to these themes.

The author has examined genesis of certain vision found in the work of Verrier Elwin, the grand old man of Indian anthropology and ‘tribal’ policy, and has shown how it links up with the contemporary

realities of ethnicity, caste and community in India and a hegemonic Hindutva politics.

Ashvaghosha The Awakening of Faith

upliftthem@yahoo.com (Saint) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:31:00 +0000

Ashvagosha was one of the most respected Indian Poet and Buddhist, who's poems and writings had an outstanding influence on Dr.B.R.Ambedkar. He said in his preface (unpublished) of the Book Buddha and Dhamma like this: I would particularly like to mention Ashvaghosha's BuddhavitaBuddhacharita], whose poetry no one can excel. In the narrative of certain events I have even borrowed his language.

Read further here:This is the title of one of the most important religious books in the world, occupying, in the literature of the Higher Buddhism, a place not dissimilar to that of our own New Testament. Its importance is increased when one considers that it formulates the fundamental doctrines of the Mahayana School, and was written by Ashvaghosha, one of the greatest poets of India, during the early part of the first century AD-a period when communication between East and West was reasonably frequent and extensive.

Amazon: Editorial Reviews
Product DescriptionThis is the fifth volume in the series Cultural Subordination and the Dalit Challenge and explores cultural repression in India and ways in which it is overcome.

The author shows how Dalit women heroes (viranganas) of the 1857 Rebellion have emerged as symbols of Dalit assertion in Uttar Pradesh and are being used by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) to build the image of its leader, Mayawati. While demonstrating how myths and memories of the role of Dalits in India s freedom struggle

are employed for identity construction and reconstructed for political mobilization, this book Narrates

Remarkable Biography & Excellent Review of a Book! by Bal Anand

Saint said...
Excellent Review and remarkable life story.

I wish, those of your colleagues in such civil services get some insights like yourself in writing or doing services to Dalits in every or any ways they can. If all the educated mass of dalits were conscious enough about this society, dalit society would have reached to a greater heights, just because the educated Indians and educated dalits betryaed the poor and needy citizens of India, this nation is an aparthied and poverty riddent nature with deadly discrimination against each other, while they trumphet everywhere that India is shining and India incredeble??? while 700 million Indians make a pitiable less than dollar income, what a nation that our people made India into?.Thanks for such a wonderful and touching review.

Book Review:

Chhangia Rukh - Dwarfed Tree

* Published in 'Balbir Madhopuri di Svai-jeevni Chhangia Rukh da Sahitak -Samajik Mulankan' - a socio-literary evaluation of Balbir Madhopuri's autobiography

An Autobiography By Balbir Madhopuri
A Critical Appraisal and an Overview :

Baal Updesh Anand
This bare, bold and tragically-touching beautiful literary creation of the autobiographical kind, first published as a book under the above title in January, 2003, has been receiving a wider appreciative acclaim of the select top critics and the limited but cultivated readership of the Punjabi literature. The fact that the book has already run into two hard back and three paper back editions is indeed a great news which should cheer up all those who are always complaining about the vaporous nature of the readership of Punjabi language. The poetic title of the autobiography – Madhopuri made his literary debut with an anthology of poems titled, ‘A Tree of Desert’ (1992) to be followed by ‘The Smouldering Underworld’ (1998) – could, perhaps, be faulted by a Botanist but it does pinpoint the deep deprivations and corroding compulsions encountered by an Indian born an Untouchable in a landless family in rural India – here in a comparatively progressive State of Punjab – even decades after

Independence and adoption as law of the land of the noblest Constitution crafted by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the greatest thinker-emancipator in the history of mankind. It may indeed be educative to note how the Untouchables have undergone significant transformations since the scriptural Shudra / Achhuth / Bahishkrit; socio-economic Depressed classes; Gandhian Harijans; Secular and constitutional Scheduled Castes till the contemporary nomenclature of the Dalits, echoing daring defiance, political protest, solidarity with all the oppressed in the world, particularly the Black in the U.S.A.

Ambedkar's Thrust on Education and Reservation, by Didla V.Rao and Pulla Lakshmi

upliftthem@yahoo.com (Saint) — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:40:00 +0000

Ambedkar's Thrust on Education and Reservation : Its Impact on Emancipation of Dalit, OBC and Minorities/Didla V. Rao and Pulla Lakshmi. New Delhi, Sunrise Pub., 2007, xx, 404 p., $53. ISBN 81-87365-59-5.

Review:

"Tell a slave that he is a slave, and he will revolt. Whether the motto behind this statement of Ambedkar is to consolidate and empower the deprived sections of the society or if his Trio slogan of educate, organize and agitate has had any impact on the amelioration of the deprived people in the postmodern society is a question analytically dissected in the present book. Whether Ambedkar's thrust on education and reservation really helped the upliftment of downtrodden, weaker sections and women or if it had created any uproar in the Indian society and what is the relevance of human rights to deprived and weaker sections in the present era of globalization, liberalization and privatization has been given due focus. Apart from the aforesaid, rulings of the Indian judiciary on reservation, reservations in elite educational institutions, rule of creamy layer to Dalits, reservations to converted Christians, Muslims, and the national educational policy, fundamental rights and directive principles and international economic order/WTO, challenge of globalization, agenda for development, millennium declaration have been duly considered while dealing the subject under focus. The book presents a lucid exposition of the attitude adopted by the judiciary, bureaucracy, institutions, policy makers towards the vice versa development, and well-being and needs of the hapless majority."

Review:

"The present book deals with the philosophy and thoughts of Dr. Ambedkar, carving out, at the same time, a code of conduct based on his life and mission, for all those who call themselves as Ambedkarites and also, for the youngsters who wish to be activists under the ongoing Ambedkar movement in India and abroad.
This work, being a piece of research, has discovered certain parameters as to know how far one may be an Ambedkarite, both in spirit and action. The code of conduct is undoubtedly strict in its rules, norms and ideals; however, giving some opportunities to the activists to be true Ambedkarites in the long run, is the specific theme of this volume. Hence the book has its own significance, value and wisdom for knowing the meaning, nature and scope of Ambedkar movement in India and elsewhere in the world." (jacket)

Sakyamuni Buddha-a Narrative Biography

upliftthem@yahoo.com (Saint) — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 18:04:00 +0000

The author "Nikkyo Niwano (Late) provides us the most truthful biography of Lord Buddha, a very simple, elagant, trustworthy and truthful story. No myths, no manipulation of details on people, places, events.

NOTE: "Sha" in Shakyamuni is a sanskrit word, to eliminate sanksrit from my writings, I write lord buddha's name as truely as: Sakaya, which is the clan Lord Buddha blelongs to at that time 5th century BC"

This book is a treasure, especially, for someone who is new to Buddhism or for those who do not know much about buddhism and lord buddha, this book can be a treasure. And, for those who are learned and earned knowledged about Buddha, there is lots of myths added in many books, you should read this book. In several places in the book, when author narrates the life events and activities of Buddha, it almost takes you to Buddha's place, a lively account of Buddha.
I bought this book at the "Shambala Mountain", one of the Buddhsit retreat center near "Fort Collins" in Colarado, US. There is a bookstore within the Shambala Mountain Buddhist center, I am not sure where else it is available, but you should be able to find out in one of the book sellers. But, if you are unable to find one, contact me at: upliftthem@yahoo.com, I will arrange for a copy at whatever price the store from Shambala sells.

THE ANNIHILATION OF CASTE by Dr.B.R.Ambedkar

upliftthem@yahoo.com (Saint) — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 17:47:00 +0000

This is the most outstanding books and record of all literatures on India's Pathological Caste system and how to eradicate it. This is the outstanding contribution to the world by the then Columbia Scholar, humanitarian and social Activist Dr.B.R.Ambedkar.

His writings and tremendous knowledge is so powerful that it will take the reader transcending into the cituation quite lively. Read this book, perhaps I believe it is available online with columbia university website or else buy from on of the those amazon.com or buy.com or barnes noble.
