THE PRISONERS OF IDEAS

Dr. Rahul Shastri

THE PRISONERS OF IDEAS
Men tend to be prisoners of their ideas, and women of their emotions ... Speaking historically, and generally, with due apologies to all exceptions...
Modern life and education have inflated the role and place of the intellect. Modern intellectuals suffer from an overdominance of intellect, irrespective of their gender ... For this reason, the walls of their prisons are very strong, and difficult to breach ...

Selected Slokas from Ashtavakra Gita

Dr. D Samarender Reddy

Select shlokas translated into English from the Ashtavakra Gita which is supposed to an instruction to King Janaka from Sage Ashtavakra in the times of Ramayana in the Treta Yuga. This Gita is therefore considered to be older than the Bhagvad Gita which is instruction to Arjuna by Sri Krishna which happened in the times of the Mahabharatha which is in the subsequent Yuga; the Dwapara Yuga.
The present compilation is courtesy of Dr. D. Samarender Reddy.

A man of pure intellect realizes the Self even by instruction casually imparted. A man of impure intellect is bewildered in trying to realize the Self even after enquiring throughout his life.

CHILDREN IN CRISIS PROTECTION OF REFUGEE CHILDREN AND CHILDREN INTERNALLY DISPLACED: A LEGAL-HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE

Anuradha Ramanna

Wars, international armed conflicts or civil wars, are all about negation of all rights. Armed conflicts and massive violations of human rights continue to elude the efforts of the international community to prevent them. Laws do not offer any easy answers as to how to prevent any infringement of basic dignity and integrity of all peoples, both in times of war and peace. The general feeling is that conventions, covenants and declarations are on paper and abuses of human rights a ground reality.
