...a man go out from her house and visit a man where he lives, and he have intercourse with her, knowing that she is a man’s wife, the man and also the woman they shall be put to death.”(Assura p.1) This law gives a punishment to both guilty parties. As for the woman, she must be dedicated to her husband, or be really good at sneaking behind her husband’s back. If caught, she will be put to death. For the Indians, women have to be more faithful, because they have more to lose if divorced. “A woman who hates her husband, who has passed the period of seven turns of her menses, and who loves another, shall immediately return to her husband both the endowment and jewelry she has received from him, and allow him to lie down with another woman “(Kautilya p.1). The interpretation perceived is that even if the woman hates her husband and wants a divorce, but the husband does not, then the marriage is still binding. The woman has no say. The husband must agree for a divorce. If she loves another and still decides to leave, then she must return all of her possessions given to her by her husband during the marriage...

...Chandra Gupta Maurya a thriving focal point of prostitution and it was the first run through the consideration of the State was attracted to the province of prostitutes for its compelling control and to bring it under the commitment of a balanced out tax collection framework. House of ill-repute keeping was looked upon as a wellspring of Govt. income. Kautilya has utilized the words, for example, Ganika, Praganika, Dasi, Devadasi, Rupijiva and so on for the prostitutes and courtesans. Kautilya's Arthashastra contains rules for prostitutes and their exercises and gives a record of how prostitutes should carry on and how their lives be requested. The capacity of prostitutes was excitement, as well as utilized for political purposes, particularly in reconnaissance work. Prostitutes were solely in the administration of the ruler. Arthashastra demonstrates the distinctive parts played by mistresses to help the State income. Distinctive evaluations of mistresses and prostitutes paid cash to the State by method for charges. Their calling was a vital wellspring of income to the State, their rights and benefits were perceived. To Kautilya the prostitutes were State property and any damage to them implied a misfortune to the State. In this way he recommended an obstruction fine to kill...

...The Joint Family system, the caste system, and the agricultural background of ancient Indian society left no room for unemployment. Manu, the law-giver of ancient India, ordained that the king should support all his subjects as earth does for all the living beings, without discrimination. The epic Mahabharata mentions that the king should look after the welfare of the disabled, helpless, orphans, widows, victims of calamities, and pregnant women by meeting their minimum needs. Kautilya, the greatest economist of the medieval period of Indian history, said, "In the happiness of his subjects lies the king's happiness, in their welfare his welfare..." Mahatma Gandhi viewed work more as duty than as right. This is in consonance with Hindu thought in treating duty as an aspect of dharma. Planning and Right to Work The Annual Report of the Ministry of Labor says the overall unemployment rate is more than 2.56%. The rate of educated unemployment is nearly 9.6%. The Five Year Plans adopted by India aim to create jobs. In fact, the Eighth Plan envisages full employment by 2000 A.D., but in the past, the achievements have fallen short of the target. In view of the acute cyclical unemployment prevailing in India, it may not be practicable to guarantee right to work when this would cost a whopping 48% of the annual national budget. As envisaged...

...The state is defined as a political organism, which unites and co-ordinates social forces according to precise rules. There were two types of states prevailing in ancient India. Kingdom or monarchies enjoyed immense popularity and were the most prevalent form of government in ancient India. They are defined as a state having a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in one individual, who is the head of the state, the king. A republic on the other hand is referred to as state in which the supreme power rests in the people and their representatives or officers, as opposed to one governed by a king or similar ruler; a commonwealth. Although while classifying a system as republic, we must keep in mind that a republic need not always be democratic as was the case in ancient India where power vested not in the whole body of citizens but in a small aristocratic class. Thus Sparta, Athence, Rome, Medieval Venice have all been described as republics though none of them possessed that full democratic character which is now considered the distinguishing feature of a republic. Speculation regarding the origin of kingship occurs in the Vedic literature. Aitareya Brahmana refers to war between the devas(gods) and danavas(demons) in which gods were repeatedly defeated. The gods then realized the reason for their defeat was the absence of a leader to lead them while their counterparts had one, the king. They decided to try this experiment, elected a king in either Indra...

School play the important role in educates and provoke the talent of the young generation to become a successful person in the future. Parents pinned their hopes, ambitions, and dream on their children. With this in mind, many parents try their best to let their children enroll in high qualification school. High qualification school will provide the good learning facilities, good learning atmosphere and environment to students.

...Assignment 2 1. The fall of the Indus Valley Civilization is still unclear. Though, we can give an educated guess as to how the civilization fell. They did not have the proper drainage systems, which led to their crops drying out leaving them with very little food. Naturally, this caused many people to flee the city. Later, flooding also pushed out many people. This left very few people in the city who were unable to defend themselves against potential raiders. Once these few people were pushed out of the city it was powerless and left for the history books. 2. The Aryans were a race that was part of the Vedic period. They aren’t very well known, however; through hymns, poems, and the Vedas we can learn a little bit about them. We know that they were known for war and different weapons they used to win in battle. We also know that by 1000 B.C.E they had taken over most of India north of the Vindhya Range. Though it is not for sure we can guess that they were responsible for introducing the caste system to India. 3. Throughout the history of the world one of the greater kings was Ashoka. One of his greatest strengths was that he was able to bring together both the north and the south to create one great empire. A major goal of Ashoka’s was to create a less violent empire. He did this by bringing Buddhism into the empire. Though, he didn’t entirely lean towards non-violence. He still kept laws and his army. He was able to prevent violence while still enforce...

...Education! Education!! Education!!! This has been a great word in the sight of few individuals. It has been a source of joy, inner peace, an even a source of wealth to other people. To a layman, the word EDUCATION can mean a process of teaching and learning that is formally done in schools or colleges, to improve knowledge an develop skills. It can also mean a way of life of any human being… The word Education has been derived from the Latin term EDUCATUM which means ‘the act of teaching and learning’. It has come from another Latin word EDUCARE which means ‘to bring up’ or ‘to raise’. It has also originated from another Latin word EDUCERE which means ‘to lead forth’ or ‘to come out’. By educating an individual we attempt to give him some desirable knowledge, understanding, skills, interests, attitudes and critical 'thinking. That is, he acquires knowledge of history, geography, arithmetic, languages and sciences. He develops some understanding about the deeper things in life, the complex human relations, and the cause and effect relationship and so on. He gets some skills in writing, speaking, calculating, drawing, operating some equipment etc. He develops some interests in and attitudes towards social work, democratic living, co-operative management and so on. As an individual in the society, he has to think critically about various issues in life and take decisions about them being free from bias and prejudices, superstitions and blind beliefs.

...diamond, the sweet flavor of honey, the cruelty of the tiger, the warmth of the fire and the turtle dove, the chill of snow and chatter of the jay. He melted all these and formed a woman. Then he made a present of her to man. And she lived unhappily ever after” (Misra, 2007). As a daughter, she is expected to listen to her father; as a wife, she is expected to listen to her husband and as an old mother, she is expected to listen to her son. In this way, in every stage of life she is expected to listen to male members in her family. Traditionally, Indian woman has been the foundation stone of family and society in general. She is the one who nurtures, guards and strengthens it. But the greatest tragedy is the extreme injustice done to women. Kautilya endorsed husband’s right to beat his wife of refractive nature. He allows the husband to beat his wife, either with a bamboo bark or with a rope or with a palm of hand on her hips. A wife on the other hand had only duties. The foremost duty of a wife was to honor and serve her husband. The Ramayana remarks: ‘the husband is the God and master of the wife.’ Manu says that “a wife who violates the duty that she owes to her lord shall be devoured by dogs in a place frequented by many. By violating her duty towards her husband, a wife is disgraced in this world; and after death, she enters the womb of a jackal and is tormented by diseases as a punishment for her sin” (Misra, 2007). The Encyclopedia of Social Sciences defines violence in the...

...Henry Kissinger’s World Order asks, if today’s leaders can rise above their own definition of world “order”, to achieve peace and global stability. Especially when the “balance of power” is constantly threatened by anarchy and chaos. The reason Kissinger, makes this his core enquiry, is because it addresses a challenge that the human race faces today, one that it might fear the most- a total global chaos. Kissinger uses conflict between different nations as the premise to his argument. He does so by looking at the historical experience of different civilizations, even going back to the Dark Ages, as suggested by the subheading of the book. The author begins by defining World Order as “an inexorably expanding cooperative order of states observing common rules and norms, embracing liberal economic systems, forswearing territorial conquest, respecting national sovereignty and adopting participatory and democratic systems of governance”. But in the introduction, the author also lets us know that “No truly global 'world power' has ever existed”. And what is considered to be the 21st century world order, is just a treaty which was devised in western Europe, without taking into consideration, the other countries and civilisations. Towards the end, Kissinger remarks that the leitmotif of our age is science and technology. With countries making huge advances in technology, they consider the security dilemma, before looking at the zero (sum) game analysis. Technology could thus prove...
