Abstract:

Sport transcends boundaries of color, caste, and sex, promoting holistic development beyond physical health. Historically, women's participation in sports faced significant barriers, often restricted by societal norms, religious beliefs, and ingrained prejudices. While men dominated sporting arenas, women were largely excluded, encountering physical, mental, and social limitations. However, a gradual shift has witnessed increased female participation in sports across the globe, particularly in developing nations. Researchers have meticulously examined the evolution of women's role in sports ac

Abstract:

The history of stories is as old as human life. Just as there is no clear unanimous evidence about the origin of human life, similarly there is no clear evidence of the beginning of stories, but some examples of this are found in Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads, Smriti Granthas, Ramayana, Mahabharata etc. There has been a huge tradition of Sanskrit stories from Vedic times till today. In which Panchtantra, Hitopadesh, Jataka Kathas etc. stories are found. Which has been divided into three parts in western countries at present - 1. Fairy Tales 2. Fables 3. Didactic Tales.

Abstract:

The history of human rights in Indian culture and values are eternal to its civilization as it has evolved. The “Rigveda”, which is regarded as the oldest epic in the world, proclaims that all human beings are equal and they are all brothers. According to “Atherveda”, all human beings have equal right over food and natural resources. The “Vedas” including “Upnishads”(Shruti) are the basic source of “Dharma”, (an umbrella like term for all human rights and duties), the observance of which was regarded as essential for securing peace and happiness to individuals as well as to the society.

Abstract:

Out of many living beings in the world, human is the only one who is able to understand his goal and try to achieve it. Apart from humans, the capacity of animals other than humans is limited only to feed and reproduce. While human capabilities are limitless, he keeps within himself the ability to understand, contemplate, evaluate and achieve countless achievements. The credit of having all these capabilities with the human goes to the consciousness of the human. Indian ancient texts Vedas, Darshana, Smritis, Puranas and Upanishads have asked to awaken, elevate the consciousness from free voic

Abstract:

This paper explores the foundations of <em>gender</em> in Indian philosophy, culture, and civilizations. What exactly gender is? Is this limited to humans’ male or female bodies or may be extended to other living, and nonliving beings? Such issues were expedited under the premises of ancient Indian texts in Sanskrit including <em>Vedas, Upanishads, Grihyasutra, Smriti Granthas, Puranas, </em>and the orthodox and unorthodox branches of Indian Philosophy. Therefore, the paper is based upon inferences drawn thereon, with the author being the key informant.

<strong>The Mahishasura Tradition</strong> Indeed, as the cover of the book (<em>Mahishasura: Mithak va Parmparayen [Myths and Traditions]</em>, edited by Pramod Ranjan) , indicates, a large part of it is about the search within the world of myth and counter-tradition. The cover image is of a “Bhainsasur Smarak Mandir” (Buffalo-Demon Memorial Temple) in Mahoba in Uttar Pradesh, which is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India. This particular book is a collection of articles, mainly by Bahujan intellectuals, that takes the myths around the figure of Mahishasura – the

Abstract:

Numerous scriptures have been found that have been crucial to understanding the Hindu texts. These texts included the complex procedures for determining the true meaning of terms and expressions found in the Vedas and Puranic texts. The Mimansa is the most significant scripture among all others that contained the guidelines for this kind of interpretation. Hindu civilization and culture developed complex norms of interpretation even in their earliest days. Smrities were interpreted according to the guidelines provided by "Jaimini," the author of the Mimamsat Sutras, which were first intended f

Within the Kalpa Veda, the Dharma Sutra literature, the Smriti literature, the Purana literature and the Mahabharata have given extensive criticism of the Dayabhaga. Among the subjects described in the Dharma Sutras, the share of inheritance is an important subject. The tenth chapter of the third question of the Gautama Dharma Sutra, compiled by Ācārya Gautama, contains various facts regarding the division of dowries in ancient India. By the term inheritance share means the share of the sons in the father’s property. Whether the father dies or remains, the sons receive his riches, that is, wea

Abstract:

The Vedas are one of the oldest manuscripts in the world literature. The word Veda is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘vid’ which means knowledge, but it could be attributed as a bundle of knowledge of the Vedic period. All the Indian chronicles and myths extol the Vedas. There is not even a single mantra anywhere in the sacred text repudiating anyone the right to become versed in Vedas but the authority to study and teach the Vedas abounding with knowledge, has been interpreted as the right of a monopolized community gradually.

Abstract:

Abstract Hinduism is shaped by the four objectives of life (purusharthas), achieved in the context of four stages of life (ashramas), four vocations of life (varnas), and four branches of knowledge (vidyas). Dharma signifies ethical actions in harmony with the eternal laws of the universe. Ancient treatises such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas contain narratives explaining the consequences of right and wrong paths in pursuit of productive economic life. Kautilya wrote on the science of economics titled Arthashastra circa 350 bce. Law books such as Manu-Smriti, Yajnavalkya-Smriti, and a liberal digest on it by Lakshmi Devi affected the way of life on the Indian subcontinent, including worship of deities, divinity tiers, property rights of economic agents, and concept of varna. The law books remained relevant during the Muslim and British rule and post-independence India. This chapter explains how Hindu economics respects all creatures. Hindu teachings have a non-dogmatic open architecture, remain relevant, and are characterized by democratic values, global capitalism, and sustainability.
