Arun Agrawal si concentra sulle intricate relazioni tra le persone e l'ambiente. Il suo lavoro esamina come le forze politiche ed economiche plasmano le comunità e il loro accesso alle risorse naturali. Agrawal approfondisce l'interazione tra le strutture sociali e la sostenibilità ecologica, in particolare nei contesti di migrazione e adattamento. Le sue analisi illuminano come le persone affrontano i cambiamenti ambientali e si sforzano di garantire un futuro per le loro comunità.
An investigation of environmental politics in light of Foucault's work,
drawing on and extending work done in feminist environmentalism, political
ecology, and common property scholarship, explains why villagers in the Kumaon
Himalaya have begun to conserve forests.
The book 'Why I Am In This World' is a practical presentation of Isha Upanishad to bring home the purpose of life. All verses (18) have been firstly presented in the factual form. Then comments are offered so that difficult verses of the Upanishad can be understood by the busy reader of the day. Anecdotes, illustrations and dialogues have been given here and there so that the abstract knowledge contained in the Isha Upanishad about God, life and the World is clarified so as to reach to every person. However, all these illustrations have been taken from other Upanishads so as not to derail the spiritual subject from the highest level of the Indian seers. It is hoped that the book will help the people to make their life better and this World a better place to live.
