The Indian Council for Social Science Research (ICSSR) Survey in Psychology is the last among a series of academic social science surveys undertaken by the nodal governmental agency of social research in India. In five volumes, this Survey evaluate developments in the discipline of psychology in terms of its theoretical, methodological, and applied endeavours in India in the last decade. Together they assess progress made in psychological scholarship and thereby help consolidate disciplinary developments. Each of the chapters in the five volumes demonstrates multidirectional developments emerging in the discipline of psychology in India. The Survey is an exercise in discipline building, rooted in the changing national context, incorporating multiple theoretical strands, and enabling cross-disciplinary dialogue. The first volume discusses the spiritual, philosophical, and cultural traditions of India and sets the context for the subsequent volumes. It traces the narrative of the discipline from its inception in the Indian colonial past and presents a detailed account of its present status. The second volume delves into the themes of cognitive and affective psychology. Volume three focuses on the relationship between the individual and the social. The fourth volume explores organizational psychology in India, and the last volume expands on themes in contemporary mental health research. A comprehensive assessment of the way psychology research is evolving in India, the Survey covers key disciplinary concepts, recent trends, and indigenous perspectives.

Although numerous schemes for the development and welfare of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC &ST) and the groups which come under the preview of Other Backward Classes (OBC) and which are a mixed lot of less socially disadvantaged and still economically backward, have improved their position to some extent, a lot yet remains to be done to achieve the desired goal in the right direction of bringing them on par with normal populace of the country. The present Index of articles in the CICIL series is a pointer to scholarly thought and writings during the last 105 years or so (1886-1990) culled from 171 Indian Journals of standing to provide materials for the use of researchers and social scientists on various aspects of the problems, possibilities and the past status of these so termed backward classes. The articles included in this Index give a detailed picture of the economic and social conditions of these underprivileged groups. They not only indicate the Governmental measures taken so far for their uplift, but also provide critical assessment of such measures. In these articles we find the discussion on the reports of the Committees and Commissions submitted to the Government on the> problems of the backward classes. The Index also includes such articles which highlight the important researches made on tribals for the benefit of those who are entrusted with the tribal administration. Reflections and notes on the life-style and modes of our tribal brethren, included in the writings, which are indexed in this volume may, one hopes so, open our eyes to the service and dis-service we are indulging ourselves in.

No other socio-political programme launched by the Government in Independent India had generated so much enthusiasm and participation of the people as the Panchayati Raj Institutions. But the sad irony is that when the potential of these institutions was being liberated, a contrary move was contrived towards their decline and possible demise. The Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act, 1989, assumes special significance against the background of recent efforts by several other State governments to radicalise the working of the Panchayati Raj institutions in their respective States to ensure devolution of power to the people at village level. That the present Jammu and Kashmir Government had taken the lead in reviewing the Panchayat Act enacted thirty years earlier speaks volumes for its political will and flair for dynamism. The revised Act of 1989 envisages significant changes at the district level and below to promote and develop panchayati raj in the State as an instrument of vigorous local self-government. Panchayati Raj in Jammu and Kashmir is the outcome of a year long interaction among scholars on the subject and specialists in Jammu and Kashmir affairs. The distinguished contributors to the volume have presented the issue in the larger national perspective.

Perspectives on Indigenous Psychology is an effort to bring into focus the context, contents and relevance of the move towards indigenous psychology in India. This volume offers a critical appreciation of the changing context of science and places, the discipline of psychology in the emerging interpretive framework of human sciences. The contributions make an effort to explore the potentials of indigenous notions in the areas like self understanding, health and well-being, happiness, stress, personality, emotions and skill development. The relevance of culture and ideology to the development of the discipline is also critically examined and assessment of indigenization of psychology in India is made. Modern psychology is a discipline predominantly rooted in the western cultural practices and ideologies. However, under politico-economic compulsions this peculiarly. Euro-American scholarship has been projected as universal, secular, and scientific. This image has been transported to the developing countries of the world; many of them have a colonial history. In recent past not only variations and similarities in human behaviour across cultures have been identified but also the role of culture in constituting psychological phenomena has been explicated. In this context exploration into indigenous psychologies has become an important concern. The present volume extends the debate and contributes to the development of post western psychology. This volume provides important source material, fresh ideas and concepts that will go a long way in shaping the discipline of psychology in the post positivist era. The volume is of interest to the students of psychology, sociology, anthropology, education, health sciences, and related fields.

Ecology is the practice of a globally relevant archeology, ethnohistory, ethnography and related disciplines. While geographic information systems can give practical integration of spatial structures (habitations, soils, river drainage), practical understanding of past and current relationships among these environmental and human systems require a culturally specific temporal and spatial perspective applied at a regional scale. Plant geography as a subject in its own right is relatively modern. It is true that records of plant ranges, as then known, are given by many early authors but they are usually incidental to other studies. Ecology is concerned with the relationship between plants and their surroundings and with the grouping of plants into kinds of vegetation. On the whole, plant ecology is intensive while plant geography is extensive in outlook, but both are concerned with plants and, in attempting to correlate observed structure and behaviour with "causes," both refer to the same sum total of environmental factors though the emphasis varies. The purpose of this book is to consolidate all this information and present it in a simple way for the benefit of the students, as well as teachers and researchers.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book takes a social psychological perspective to study the ways in which identity, religious beliefs and well-being are related to and affect each other in the contemporary world. It simultaneously draws upon intellectual resources from the extant interdisciplinary literature to build connections within the broader societal context. In view of the social diversity and changes in post-globalization India, issues of identity, religion and well-being emerge as dynamic and vibrant aspects of social reality in both individual and group contexts, across age groups and genders. The current social-cultural-political scenario in the India, therefore, points to the need to investigate the outcome of personal and social well-being in relation to identity and religion. As contexts change, these issues take different shades and influence human conditions differentially. This book undertakes the investigation by going beyond the traditional tropes of behavioral science and discussing the dynamic interplay and confluence of socio-cultural-political variables in changing times. It draws from a large sample from the four major religious faiths in India—Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and Sikhism—and enables readers to understand significant interactions among facets of identity (personal and social), religious beliefs and practices and well-being (personal and social) with age and gender in an important segment of the global population.
