This volume explores the dialogic relationship between myths and places in the historically, geographically, and culturally diverse context of India. Given its ambiguous relationship with ‘facts’ and empirical reality, myth has suffered an uncertain status in the field of professional history, with the latter’s preference for scientifism over more creative orders of representation. Myths and Places rehabilitates myth, not as history’s primeval ‘Other’, nor as an instrument of socio-religious propagation, but as communitarian mechanisms by which societies made sense of themselves and their world. It argues that myths helped communities fashion their identities and their habitat/habitus, and were fashioned by these in turn. This book explores diverse forms of territorial becoming and belonging in a grassroots approach from across India, studying them in culturally sensitive ways to recover local life-worlds and their self-understanding. Further, challenging the stereotypical bracketing of the mythical with the sacred and the material with the historical, the multidisciplinary essays in the book examine myth in relation to not only religion but other historical phenomena such as ecology, ethnicity, urbanism, mercantilism, migration, politics, tourism, art, philosophy, performance, and the everyday. This book will be of interest to scholars and general readers of Indian history, regional studies, cultural geography, mythology, religious studies, and anthropology.

This book is about building a conscious, positive and sustainable organization focusing on creating an individualistic character of the organization. It introduces the concept of Vichaar Aachaar Prachaar (VAP) to construct a universal leadership model with an intent to lay the foundation for a strong and responsible organizational conscience. The concept of Vichaar refers to the organizational thought process and culture, which forms its immune system. The concept of Aachaar expounds the behaviour of the people and their actions, which emanates from culture, both at an individual as well as organizational level. It identifies the importance of managing self as well as money. The concept of Prachaar is about the strong leadership required, to propagate the organizational philosophy both within the organization and to the society, at large. It weighs the importance of building trust with the community in which the organization operates. I call these three aspects as Value Aided Progression (VAP) with the aim that an organizational ecosystem does not degrade its value system, which is pertinent for its sustainability, in the long run. This book explores to rediscover the most important asset, which is YOU. It helps you to enhance your thinking ability, translate your thoughts into value-based actions and propagate the same into the society, to build trust.

Killer instinct is an aggressive tenacious urge for domination in a struggle to attain a set goal. If you say that a sports player or politician has the killer instinct, you admire him for his toughness and determination to succeed.We don’t strive to go the extra mile, which is the toughest in any endeavour. We should not create an impression that there’s nothing more to achieve. Complacency and overconfidence are proven recipes for disaster. Winning isn't about finishing in first place. It isn't about beating the others. It is about overcoming yourself, overcoming your body, your limitations, and your fears. Winning means surpassing yourself and turning your dreams into reality. Success is an excellent acquired quality of a person to sustain a strong spirit which can willfully overpower the dictums of mind
