Puzzling Dimensions This narrative is not a study that at this time really has an ending – this is only the beginning. There are so many horror stories to document. With very little digging I venture to say that one would uncover enough similar cases to build a thesis that the content of scholarship about India is tainted, and that honest research is victimized by a hegemony of predetermined anti-Hinduism outcomes. It would be worthwhile to do an ethnography of graduate students in American universities inquiring about these issues. I remember a grad student at UT who asked in a class of Sanskrit about the harmonic resonance and metaphysical meaning of particular sounds. Several years ago, I was told by a leading professor of "South Asian Studies" at a major University that I "should never report anything positive about the BJP" (Sangh Parivar combine) or I "would never find a job in American academia".

Social Studies Projects & Ideas for PBL History, Geography & Civics These 350 social studies projects take your students beyond dioramas and research papers to authentic learning, through community and civic problem-solving and outreach. Students collaborate with classes across campus, town, or the world to develop solutions, share international cultures, and understand local, state, national, and world issues. I got my start on social studies projects with an ePals project. My class paired up with a class in Germany to learn about the culture and geography of Germany and Europe. The structure of the ePals project helped me to organize my lessons and helped my students to present what they learned to other second grade classes. I hope you find these project ideas helpful for your next (or first) project! Middle school students in Ohio have created a history of the world online to share with students everywhere.
Muse India “Krishnadeva Raya’s distinction in the realm of poetry is known by the very fact that his poetical work Amuktamalyada has traditionallybeen included among the five classics in Telugu language which arerequired reading for aspirants to scholarship.” – Adapa Ramakrishna Rao, Telugu Scholar Krishnadevaraya was a scholar and poet of considerable merit. He was described by his courtiers as Sahiti-samarangana-sarvabhauma, an emperor in the realm of literature as well as the battlefield. Nandi Timmanna, one of his poet laureates, described the ruler in his Parijatapaharana as ‘the brightest sun at dawn, shining with a radiance of the nine gems, in the Bhuvana Vijaya court.’ Krishnadevaraya’s literary fame rests on Amukta Malyada. Traditionally this work has been included among the five great classics of Telugu literature. It is of interest to note that 3 of the 4 great poets of these works, other than Krishnadeva Raya himself, were poet-laureates in his court.
