Book Description
No doubt that every community displays certain characteristics (attributes) but can these characteristics be used to predict the cast of that community. May not be true but I grabbed this connection and correlated as to why only 4-alphabets j, a, t & s were used to refer to a particular community as jats. My intention is to find the origin of word jats and not the origin or the history or the background of jats because sufficient literature is available on such aspects.

India's Agony Over Religion
Author: Gerald James Larson
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 143841014X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Many of ancient India's religious traditions are alive in modern India, and many of these religious traditions are in conflict with one another regarding the future of India. Even the so-called "secular state" is deeply pervaded by religious sentiments growing out of the Neo-Hindu nationalist movement of Gandhi and Nehru. A careful analysis of the current religious scene when placed in its proper long-term historical perspective raises interesting questions about the nature and future of religion not only in India but elsewhere as well.

The Stickup Kids
Author: Randol Contreras
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520273370
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Randol Contreras came of age in the South Bronx during the 1980s, a time when the community was devastated by cuts in social services, a rise in arson and abandonment, and the rise of crack-cocaine. For this riveting book, he returns to the South Bronx with a sociological eye and provides an unprecedented insiderÕs look at the workings of a group of Dominican drug robbers. Known on the streets as ÒStickup Kids,Ó these men raided and brutally tortured drug dealers storing large amounts of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and cash. As a participant observer, Randol Contreras offers both a personal and theoretical account for the rise of the Stickup Kids and their violence. He mainly focuses on the lives of neighborhood friends, who went from being crack dealers to drug robbers once their lucrative crack market opportunities disappeared. The result is a stunning, vivid, on-the-ground ethnographic description of a drug robberyÕs violence, the drug market high life, the criminal life course, and the eventual pain and suffering experienced by the casualties of the Crack Era. Provocative and eye-opening, The Stickup Kids urges us to explore the ravages of the drug trade through weaving history, biography, social structure, and drug market forces. It offers a revelatory explanation for drug market violence by masterfully uncovering the hidden social forces that produce violent and self-destructive individuals. Part memoir, part penetrating analysis, this book is engaging, personal, deeply informed, and entirely absorbing.

The Dharma Manifesto
Author: Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya
Publisher: Arktos
ISBN: 1907166327
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The Dharma Manifesto is a call to action for those who seek a form of social and political action that has a firm spiritual foundation, but which also challenges the prevailing social and religious order in the postmodern West. It does not merely offer criticism - it is also a blueprint for how a national community founded upon Dharmic principles could operate in the twenty-first century. Its author defines the term "Dharma," which in the ancient Sanskrit language means "Natural Law," in an unconventional way. For those who embrace Dharma Nationalism, Dharma is predicated upon the pressing need for the organic and munificent resacralization of culture and of all human endeavor, as well as the manifestation of the highest potentials attainable by every individual in society in accordance with transcendental principles. Thus, Dharma does not only refer to traditions with which it is usually associated such as Hinduism and Buddhism, but also to the Taoist, Confucian, Zoroastrian, Native American, and European pagan traditions, all of which, this book holds, share a common, basic worldview. This book is therefore a resource for those who want to carry out both an inward, contemplative revolution within themselves as well an outer, social revolution in the world around them, in harmony with one another. It is intended to serve as a systematic program signaling the beginning of a what will hopefully be a new era in humanity's eternal yearning for meaningful freedom and happiness.

Know The Jat
Author: Amir Kadyan
Publisher: BlueRose Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 61
Book Description
The book, "Know the Jats" is based on factual research about Jats — a community of pastoral farmers, who contribute everything consumers need to eat for their survival, and yet not liked by almost 80% of people in India. Those who hate Jats and are ignorant about them on account of their sheer ignorance, at times have problems dealing with Jats, who are upright, honest, hardworking and brave people. Such people have failed to understand the Jats and by writing this book, it will be a step forward to create a better sense of understanding among non-Jats. The facts used in this book are honest and without any bias to anyone, including the Jats.

The Jack-Roller
Author: Clifford R. Shaw
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022607496X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
The Jack-Roller tells the story of Stanley, a pseudonym Clifford Shaw gave to his informant and co-author, Michael Peter Majer. Stanley was sixteen years old when Shaw met him in 1923 and had recently been released from the Illinois State Reformatory at Pontiac, after serving a one-year sentence for burglary and jack-rolling (mugging), Vivid, authentic, this is the autobiography of a delinquent—his experiences, influences, attitudes, and values. The Jack-Roller helped to establish the life-history or "own story" as an important instrument of sociological research. The book remains as relevant today to the study and treatment of juvenile delinquency and maladjustment as it was when originally published in 1930.
