"Here is the third volume in the series Man and Forest: a series trying to highlight the relevance of ‘indigenous knowledge’ of various tribal communities in the sustainable management of forests/local resources against the growing challenges of environmental hazards and declining resource base.

The volume takes the reader to the Dayak Benuaq village of Lempunah in Borneo (East Kalimantan, Indonesia) where, for over three hundred years, the local tribal population has made extensive use of its forest resources. More than a hundred locally-differentiated rice varieties and 150 other crops are cultivated over a mosaic forest of 9,200 ha.

Besides maintaining a high level of bio-diversity, Lempunah villagers are managing an enormous reservoir of flora and fauna for their extended subsistence (less)

"In this innovative study, Antoinette Burton investigates the colonial empire through the eyes of the three of its Indian subjects. The first of these, Pandita Ramabai, arrived in London in 1883 to seek medical education.

She left in 1886, having resisted the Anglican Church's attempts to make her an Evangelical Missionary, and began a career as a celebrated social reformer. Cornelia Sorabji went to Oxford to study law and became one of the first Indian women to be called to the bar.

Already a well known Bombay journalist, Behramji Malabari traveled to London in 1890 to seek support for his social reform projects. All three (less)

It is a self-destructive analysis that modern intellectuals spin out, and finally meet an end, which invokes little sympathy and raises enormous derision. And there exist relations past and present which might raise eyebrows, invite a measure of cynicism and contempt and finally condemnation but the inveterate fact remains that intellectuals are destined to live at many planes without ever caring to readjust.

Possibly, they think so. But it remains and inevitable reality many would say because of inherent jealousy for the brainies, that intellectuals who think they guide, are undoubtedly people who make this world uncomfortable to a certain extent.

And in the process, hurt themselves immensely. A devastating statement.
