In the last decade or so, there has been substantial development in understanding the behavioural patterns of past hunter-gatherers societies.

Downfall of the Maurya empire. This well-illustrated volume seeks to explain an enigmatic and paradoxical symbolism common to many of the world religions, both polytheistic and monotheistic - that of the cavernous maw of a great monster. Drawing on a broad array of comparative evidence, including examples from Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions, it delves on the cross-cultural points of contact that may have contributed to the spread of such zoomorphic hybrids from This period, which is characterized by transition and the presence of various regional dynasties, marks the beginning of the end of the Hindu dynasties and the gradual establishment of the early Muslim rule in northern and western India.
Ray has admirably marshalled the details of events Through these Education and economic position of rural female It pits essentially two theories against one another.

The book is an attempt to explore the basics of Architectural Journalism. This take on Architectural Journalism is a manifestation of the Author's thoughts; it basically revolves around the ideas of arousing public interest and reception towards the novelties of building design while subtly nodding towards the emerging realm of Architectural Journalism with an emphasis on conveying the right ideas to the right people in an order to equip them with a practical and This encyclopaedia aims at displaying clearly the characteristic features of the art and architecture of each country by comparing the buildings of each period and by giving due prominence to the influences—geographical, geological, climatic, religious, social historical and their contribution to the formation of particular styles.
The analytical and comparative method adopted enables the essential of individual styles to be easily grasped. The general Architects of Fate, or, Steps to Success and Power is a book of inspiration to character-building, self-culture, to a full and rich manhood and womanhood, by most invigo-rating examples of noble achievement. This volume is a comprehensive monograph chronicling the personal and professional journey of the Indian architect and urban conservationist Brinda Somaya, from to the present.
Building Histories offers innovative accounts of five medieval monuments in Delhi-the Red Fort, Rasul Numa Dargah, Jama Masjid, Purana Qila, and the Qutb complex-tracing their modern lives from the nineteenth century into the twentieth.
Mrinalini Rajagopalan argues that the modern construction of the history of these monuments entailed the careful selection, manipulation, and regulation of the past by both the colonial and later postcolonial states.
India is undergoing a period of extraordinary urban transformation. For the first time in modern Indian history, the rate of urban growth is higher than that of the rural.
Material transformations -- freeways and tollways, malls and gated communities, changing work patterns and new forms of consumerism -- are, however, also accompanied by social and cultural changes.
What is also of enormous significance is that accelerated urbanism is not just a facet of life in Estranged from her mother, who sent her away at the age of six, brilliant architect Afroze Bhana has carved out an impressive life for herself in Cape Town.
But when she receives word that her mother is desperately ill, she is compelled to return to her hometown in rural Zululand to find answers about her painful childhood. Ekambaranathan A. Jan Qaisar A. Jerath A. Kamala Vasini A.

Twitter unlocked a new megaphone for Trump, who has seemingly little time for press conferences, but who is an active user of the social network.
Over the years, Trump's retweeting of unverified Twitter accounts has lent weight to the otherwise-obscure accounts of white nationalists, anti-Muslim bigots, conspiracy theorists and foreign bots, an investigation by the New York Times found in November And the Twitter megaphone has enabled him to heighten international tensions and crash markets.
Most recently, Trump teased the assassination of a high-ranking Iranian general by tweeting a picture of the American flag a day before the State Department made its announcement. Former Twitter executives have since denounced the president's use of the platform for foreign policy. The Islamic terrorist group ISIS used social media to recruit, spread grisly propaganda, and coordinate attacks, to deadly effect. Twitter began reacting to the use of its platform in and , announcing that it was aggressively suspending accounts that threatened terrorist action.
But even as Facebook and Twitter began to clamp down on the accounts of overt supporters, they began to migrate to Telegram and WhatsApp, the New York Times reported. And the two platforms still faced criticism for not doing enough to shut down access to the platform. However, some studies have suggested that social media platforms and their algorithms aren't entirely to blame for helping radicalization.
A Penn State research paper from October said that YouTube's algorithm did not necessarily trap viewers into a viewership bubble that helped radicalize them. Instead, the videos influenced its viewers just like any other media. A military crackdown and widespread ethnic violence against the Rohingya Muslims community in Myanmar prompted a UN investigation into whether a modern-day genocide had taken place. And the UN investigator found that Facebook was key to help incite violence and hatred against the Muslim minority group.
She said the platform had "turned into a beast," Reuters reported in March And Facebook had lacked the Burmese-speaking manpower to shut down accounts, helping create the conditions for over , Rohingya Muslims to flee the country.
More than 1, examples of posts, comments and pornographic images attacking the Rohingya and other Muslims existed on Facebook, a Reuters investigation found in August , well after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had pledged to remedy the situation.
Facebook continued to work on shutting down pages, groups and accounts well into , to thwart efforts to "manipulate or corrupt public debate," Reuters reported. A host of edited videos and messages, distributed on the popular messaging app WhatsApp, warned villages in India about gangs of purported kidnappers on the prowl. WhatsApp's design made it easy to forward messages, and gave no hint of the source.
False information spread like wildfire. The results were sometimes horrific, as mobs of Indians chased "suspects" — often completely innocent — and beat them to death. Police forces over the country tried curbing these attacks and warning people. And India's Supreme Court urged the government to use "an iron hand" against mob violence, the New York Times reported. Despite its drawbacks, protests raging around the world still rely on social media to broadcast their concerns and get organized.
But even as they protest regional issues, like pension reform in France, corruption in Lebanon, inequality and shabby social services in Chile, and Chinese state control in Hong Kong, protesters have leveraged catchy hashtags and viral images on social media to promote a kind of global solidarity against the state.
One image in particular has been shared by angry demonstrators around the world: the mask of the Joker. Helen Sullivan, a journalist for the New Yorker, even tweeted a picture of a Joker face paint station in Lebanon.
The Joker mask has been especially popular in Lebanon, after a Lebanese street artist spray painted the star character onto the city's walls ,. Protests have been raging in Hong Kong for over six months, leaving the island vulnerable to issues like government surveillance and misinformation. As civil unrest over Beijing's creeping influence goes on, challenges like surveillance have been met by encrypted messaging apps and masks.
And even as fears of censorship over local news have prompted protesters to turn to social media for information, causing misinformation to run rampant, protesters have started to come up with ways to try dodge the challenge. But Hong Kongers are aware of the threat, saying they cross-check claims with foreign and local media coverage, try to locate the source, and spread the word if they need to fact-check the news.
Thinking crumbles; we wind up living in a world where misinformation shapes our lives and laws; we storm school board meetings, and senseless laws are passed. Have something to say about this topic?

They do not posses any power to take away anyone's life. The people along with our government, should open up their eyes and take actions towards the main suspects who are roaming freely all around and there are still chances for such incidents to happen again in the future.
The Guwahati youth Nilutpal Das and Abhijit Nath are killed by villagers in Karbi Anglong, Assam , was a treacherous incident that none could have ever imagine. Justice should definitely be assured to the families of the victims. But at the same it should be kept in mind that after any incident the actions are also valueless as they are not capable to bring back the lives of our dear ones. Education is proving itself insufficient and incapable to change the mindsets of today's generation.
Actions and steps should be taken before a treacherous incident take place. A hope that the state and the people will have a progress, is fading away. The government is the only one who shall try to rebuilt the faith in the people.
