| Summary/Abstract |
The issues of modernity, globalization or national identity are hardly new. Depending on the context it can be located in European debates even two centuries ago. In our country too it can easily be seen a hundred year ago in the writings of sri Aurobindo, Tagore, Gandhi and many others. The, point however, is that under similar term the content of the dialogue and discussion undergo a great change with a passage of time. Some time even a fundamental change takes place, even though the term remains the same. For instance, the issue and concern discussed under 'modernity' six decade ago can no longer be found in the debates today. Therefore, it would be a fruitful exercise if our current concerns are outlined about modernization, globalization and national Identity.

| Summary/Abstract |
The time it was written the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
(UDHR) was a very appropriate document. Prepared at the aftermath
of the World War II it was a response to the unspeakable harm suffered
by millions immediately before, at the hands of Nazism and
Communism. Both these regimes, in the countries they ruled treated
people inhumanly with tortures and killings at will. To the outside
world their common refrain, if at all, was that it is their internal affair.
The UDHR tried to reject this attitude of dictatorial and totalitarian
regimes. Thus, human rights of everyone were formulated as independent
of the work one does for living or the place one lives in. Human rights
are the rights of everybody in the world because one is human being.
All people, irrespective of the country or political system, are equally
entitled to them. This way the UDHR was a standard narration of what
human rights mean. Adopted by the United Nations in 1948, the thirty
articles of this declaration is a basic text to understand and uphold
human rights.

| Summary/Abstract |
When the first government led by the BJP was established at the centre in 1998, there was a spurt in establishing think tanks, presumably of a nationalist or Hinduist kind. With time it went to an embarrassing level as many Union ministers helped to create their individual think tanks. This apart from various trusts, memorial fund and foundations started by middle level BJP-RSS functionaries. Most of them also quickly applied to the government for allotting land and funds for their respective foundations. It is futile to research as to how many were registered during those years or since then, what they received as government grant, etc. Suffice to say that the very meaning of a think tank was quite eluded most of them.

| Summary/Abstract |
Wendy Doniger is a Professor of Religious History at the Chicago
University (USA). Her fame is for being an Indologist. In the West she
has guided highest number of Ph.D.s on Hindu religion and Sanskrit
texts. Considered such an authority on Hindus that she is also called
‘queen of Hinduism.’ Not long ago she was in news because of her
book The Hindus: An Alternative History (2009). It’s print version was
withdrawn from the market by the publisher Penguin-Viking. Some
Hindu organizations had lodged a plaint in the court asking for a ban
as wrong and defamatory statements against Hindu deities abound in
the book. During the court proceedings both parties to the case came
to a mutual settlement under which the book was withdrawn from the
market
