Bibliography. "Abhinavagupta, a leading figure in Kashmir Saivism, is increasingly being recognised as one of the chief contributors to the evolution of Indian thought.

In his encyclopaedic work, the Tantraloka, 'Light on the Tantras', he describes the various tantras of his day and places at their apex the most extreme of them, the Kula ritual, which proposes the use of wine and meat and intercourse (less)

The governing aim herein was to accumulate and arrange to the best advantage and in the most convenient shape as large a body as possible of real or supposed matters of fact on all branches of the subject. This is one of the most superbly complied works of encyclopedic knowledge that one can find on the subject.

Index. "The purpose of this book is to determine the extent to which existing law and legal policy is consistent with bioethical principles, and the extent to which it is adequately equipped to deal with emergent genetic technologies and the prenatal issues they raise.

It should be noted that the parameters set by the topic of this paper require a comparative analysis of bioethics and the law. It therefore falls outside the scope of this paper to undertake a detailed analysis of feminist thought in the area of research.

However, given the centrality of women to the issue of childbirth and pregnancy, it is submitted that one is (bio)ethically compelled (less)

"The present work, the comparative study of all Sanskrit Grammars to scholars. Grammar composition is a very delicate and difficult task in the sense that it is both a science as well as an art.

It is science in the sense that it should be objective, formal and at the same time comprehensive of all the linguistic data. Also it is an art in sense that the skill of framing grammatical rules depends upon the individual grammarian.

We can see that the linguistic activity in India, which started from Pre-Vedic times and was carried (less)

"In the wake of 9/11 the threat of biological terrorism and sabotage has been thrust to the forefront of public consciousness. However, this is far from being a new phenomenon.

From World War II onwards, the Cold War powers devoted considerable resources to developing what became known in the military as 'bugs and gas'. This groundbreaking new study lifts the lid on the top-secret department 12 of Directorate S (Special Operations) - the elite inner core of the KGB first chief directorate and its successor, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.

During the 1980s and early 1990s the department was charged with the encouragement of biological espionage, planning and preparation of acts (less)

Various forms of discrimination existed against them since time immemorial and they exist even today, only the forms of discrimination and atrocities have changed because of rising awareness among them. Today, the concept of society from below, or Dalit?s vision of their own cultural traditions and their integration into other communities, has gained prominence.

Hence, accordingly the mainstream social scientists had to change their fixed space for the Dalits and present a multi-point analysis. In fact, unilinear history is no longer the cup of tea for the mainstream social scientists.

Dalit?s own history, therefore, has to capture the minds of sociologists and anthro-pologists today. The volume will be of immense interest to master level students as well as, researchers on the topic (less)
