Most of the time, people find it difficult to abandon their houses, relatives, fields, and granaries without grave risk of loss. Unseen or unpredictable forces do not give a person much choice. He had always felt a sense of belonging to his village, no matter where he lived. Coming back home from an alien place, he should have felt a sense of elation, but times had changed, and so had the circumstances. An empty home filled with loneliness waited for him. Only events from the past and shattered dreams accompanied him on this journey.

Identifying and addressing specific learning disabilities in children is crucial for teachers, as many students display paradoxical skills, such as excelling in arithmetic while struggling with reading. The automatic promotion policy in education can exacerbate these issues, placing students in classes beyond their capabilities and widening the gap between their actual and expected performance. Additionally, the complexity of varied syllabi and language requirements complicates learning. The evaluation system must adapt to focus on these children's unique talents to ensure they receive the attention they need.

The book explores the concept of extinction, defining it as the process through which species cease to exist, leading to a decline in biodiversity. It examines the challenges in identifying the exact moment of extinction, often determined retrospectively after a species has been absent for a while. Factors contributing to extinction include habitat changes and competition. Notably, it highlights that over 99% of species that have ever existed are now extinct, while mass extinctions may have played a role in accelerating evolutionary diversification.

Exploring the nature of Hinduism, this book challenges the notion of it being a missionary faith. It delves into historical contexts, cultural practices, and philosophical underpinnings that shape Hindu beliefs and their spread.

The concept of "reciprocal illumination" is central to this exploration of religious studies, highlighting the mutual enlightenment gained through comparative analysis of different traditions and methods. Arvind Sharma employs historical, phenomenological, and psychological approaches to develop this idea, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful comparison rather than superficial generalizations. The book serves as a guide for scholars to engage deeply with the nuances of various religious traditions, fostering a richer understanding of their interconnections.

The book explores the philosophy of religion through the lens of primal religions, focusing on the concept of "translational understanding" as defined by Robin Horton. It emphasizes the challenge of translating complex belief systems into contemporary terms that resonate globally, moving beyond simple word-for-word translations. The author aims to uncover the significance of these belief systems in the lives of their practitioners, which requires a deep engagement with the underlying concepts and intentions, often necessitating creative redefinitions.

Die Wahrnehmung von Lehrkräften spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Umsetzung integrativer Bildung in Indien. Trotz der zunehmenden Bedeutung von Inklusion in der Hochschulbildung zeigt die Realität, dass nur ein minimaler Prozentsatz behinderter Jugendlicher Zugang zu Universitäten hat. Die Studie beleuchtet die Notwendigkeit, dass Lehrkräfte die Bedürfnisse von Studierenden mit Behinderungen erkennen und geeignete Vorkehrungen treffen. Diese Erkenntnisse sind entscheidend für den Erfolg dieser Studierenden und deren Integration in das Hochschulsystem. Der Forscher untersucht daher die spezifischen Wahrnehmungen von Hochschullehrern im indischen Kontext.

Focusing on the intersection of Hinduism and human rights, this groundbreaking study explores how the principles of Hindu philosophy align with contemporary human rights discussions.
