This book examines the concepts of power, wealth andwomen in the important Mahayana Buddhist scriptureknown as the Gandavyuha-sutra, and relates these tothe text’s social context in ancient Indian during theBuddhist Middle Period (0–500 CE). Employingcontemporary textual theory, worldview analysis andstructural narrative theory, the author puts forward anew approach to the study of Mahayana Buddhistsources, the ‘systems approach’, by which literature isviewed as embedded in a social system. Consequently,he analyses the Gandavyuha in the contexts of reality,society and the individual, and applies these notions tothe key themes of power, wealth and women. The studyreveals that the spiritual…

A discourse on the goals set by Prime Minister Modi toguide India’s foreign policy. In India, foreignpolicymaking has been based in the Prime Minister’sOffice because of the institutionalization of the foreignpolicy structure since Independence. This bookhighlights that in the past three decades, due to theconstraints of coalition politics, there has been littleinsight into India’s foreign policy. The ruling governmenteffectively reverted the locus of authority to the newprime minister and his team, thereby not just avoiding awider contestation between competing paradigms butinstituting a paradigm shift a shift which is a response toprevious policy anomalies and failures, and creatingnewly articulated goals in…

The interpretation of quantum mechanics has been indispute for nearly a century with no sign of a resolution.Using a careful examination of the relationship betweenthe final form of classical particle mechanics (theHamilton–Jacobi Equation) and Schrödinger'smechanics, this book presents a coherent way ofaddressing the problems and paradoxes that emergethrough conventional interpretations. Schrödinger'sMechanics critiques the popular way of giving physicalinterpretation to the various terms in perturbationtheory and other technologies and places an emphasison development of the theory and not on an axiomaticapproach. When this interpretation is made, theextension of Schrödinger's mechanics in…
