Indian writing in English has created special niche in the heart of the readers from all over the world. There are noticeable writers who have effectively portrayed India with variety of subjects and issues in their books. Sudha Murthy is one of the most prolific writers in India who has written both in Kannad and English. Being a visionary, she has voiced out many issues related to feminine sensibility. Mahashweta by Sudha Murthy is magnum opus where the protagonist Anupama’s journey has been depicted with gray sheds of life. However, Sudha Murthy has celebrated the true essence of womanhood where Anupama courageously fights against all odd situations and ultimately emerged as a powerful self-reliant individual.

A spiritual biography, this book chronicles the journey of Margarito Bautista (1878–1961) from Mormonism to the Third Convention, a Latter-day Saint (Mormon) splinter group he fomented in 1935–1936, to Colonia Industrial/Nueva Jerusalén, a polygamist utopia Bautista founded in 1947. It argues that Bautista embraced Mormon belief in indigenous exceptionalism in 1901 and rapidly rose through the ranks of Mormon priesthood until convinced that the Mormon hierarchy was not invested in the development of native American peoples, as promoted in the Church’s canon. This realization resulted in tensions over indigenous self-governance within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church) and Bautista’s 1937 excommunication. The book contextualizes Bautista’s thought with a chapter on the spiritual conquest of Mexico in 1513 and another on the arrival of Mormons in Mexico. In addition to accounts of Bautista’s congregation-building on both sides of the U.S. border, this volume includes an examination of Bautista’s magnum opus, a 564-page tome hybridizing Aztec history and Book of Mormon narratives, and his prophetic plan for the recovery of indigenous authority in the Americas. Bautista’s excommunication catapulted him into his final spiritual career, that of a utopian founder. In the establishment of his colony, Bautista found a religious home, free from Euro-American oversight, where he implemented his prophetic plan for Mexico’s redemption. His plan included obedience to early Mormonism’s most stringent practices, polygamy and communalism. Bautista nonetheless hoped his community would provide a model for Mexicans willing to prepare the world for Christ’s millennial reign.

The purpose of this paper is to take account of the contribution to religious thought of Professor Nels F. S. Ferré with special reference to two fairly recent books, Reason in Religion and The Living God of Nowhere and Nothing. For more than a quarter of a century Dr Ferré has occupied a prominent place in the field of theological education in the United States, first at Andover Newton Theological School and for the last few years at Parsons College; and by articles and books he has proved himself a most prolific writer. By and large, moreover, he has persistently evinced an evangelical concern to be faithful to the fulness of the Christian Gospel, so that if by chance, at this point or that, he is deemed to have fallen short, that has certainly happened, not by intention, but in spite of it, by the logical development of his presuppositions. In a much earlier book he offered his readers a choice, ‘either a staggering faith beyond our wildest imagination, centred in God, or else the darkness of description, explaining nothing’ and there is no doubt which alternative he himself preferred. ‘Feeding back modern man his own thoughts and feelings will not nourish him. He must be helped to see and to accept the truth that saves.’ ‘Unless “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself” in a historically factual way, without all cavil or equivocation, I know no Gospel for mankind.’

Badiuzzaman Said Nursi had always looked at the world as one component<br />glorifying the one creator and testifying to His greatness. The universality he<br />believed in, came into contradiction with the universality that results from<br />globalization as it is generally understood and illustrated. People of economically<br />less auspicious countries become themselves agents of globalization in<br />their own places. This is why the effects of globalization are more harmful<br />than those of colonialism. Globalization recruits its soldiers from among people<br />it invades and expands to swallow the remnants of their culture and selfesteem<br />by making them follow the model of those who are more powerful<br />and who possess more.<br />Badiuzzaman Said Nursi selalu memandang dunia sebagai salah satu komponen<br />untuk memuliakan Sang Pencipta dan menyaksikan kebesaran-Nya. Universalitas<br />yang dipercayainya, berlawanan dengan universalitas yang dihasilkan dari<br />globalisasi seperti yang umum dipahami dan digambarkan. Masyarakat dari<br />Negara-negara yang secara ekonomis kurang beruntung menjadikan diri mereka sendiri sebagai agen globalisasi di negara mereka sendiri. Inilah sebabnya<br />mengapa efek globalisasi lebih berbahaya daripada kolonialisme. Globalisasi<br />merekrut tentaranya dari kalangan orang-orang yang menjadi sasaran serangnya<br />dan menelan sisa-sisa kebudayaan mereka serta harga diri dengan membuat<br />mereka mengikuti model mereka yang lebih kuat dan memiliki kelebihan.

The Population explosion has led to excessive consumption and exploitation of natural resources resulting in degradation of the biophysical environment. Many agitations have gained momentum in various parts of the world to protect it from environmental degradation. Many governments have banned the usage of plastics in their endeavor to protect the environment. This descriptive research has attempted to study the greenish pattern of 320 Indian consumers with special reference to their plastic bag usage behavior while carrying their purchases back home. The Results of the study have revealed that customers accord importance to the environmental impact of goods and services before purchasing such goods and they prefer to visit shops that are eco-friendly while they do not attach much importance to the environmental reputation of companies dealing with such goods and services. They prefer green products due to their good quality and reliability and are willing to pay a premium price for such products.

With special reference to the works of Ulrich Oevermann and Fritz Schütze, this book outlines the dense foundations of the logic of reconstructive social research from the perspective of structural hermeneutics. In this context, the author’s explanations focus on the social ontological prerequisites of the aforementioned methodology. Against the background of aspects of knowledge theory and science theory, the study emphasises the appropriate theory of the embedded subject in relation to the world around it and, in doing so, synthesises structuralism and hermeneutics. In this context, sociological theory cannot be appropriately understood without psychoanalysis of the deep mechanisms of the intra-individual work apparatus.

In this contribution, I consider some appreciative links and qualified connections between Raewyn Connell’s work and my own. In particular, I use the example of sport, a key area in the making of boys and young men in many parts of the world, with special reference to body, practice, and theoretical and empirical conceptualizations of masculinity.
