Gandhi et Lord et Lady Mountbatten, 1947. Nommé le 24 mars 1947 vice-roi et Gouverneur général des Indes, Lord Mountbatten a la lourde tâche de préparer l'indépendance. Gandhi conseille au Congrès de rejeter les propositions offertes par le British Cabinet Mission en 1946, car il se méfie du regroupement proposé pour les États à majorité musulmane qu'il considère comme un début de partition. Cependant, c’est l’une des rares fois où le Congrès rejette son avis (mais pas son autorité), car Nehru

The capacity of Boko Haram to develop international connections and to challenge the state is not exceptional as such. Far from the clichés on a clash of civilizations between the North and the South, the specificity of the sect in Nigeria has more to do with its suicide attacks. Yet the terrorist evolution of Boko Haram was first and foremost caused by the brutality of the state repression, more than alleged

commencent les expériences menées dans l’usine de la Western Electric à Hawthorne ; elles se poursuivront jusqu’en 1932 et fourniront la matière de nombreux ouvrages, le plus célèbre étant celui d’Elton Mayo : The Human Problem of an Industrial Civilization (McMillan, New York ; 1933). Considérées comme le fait fondateur de la sociologie industrielle, elles seront à l’origine du mouvement dit « des relations humaines », qui se développera à partir des années 1940, et surtout après la deuxième guerre

Currency in the Pastoral State. In the next higher stage of civilization, the pastoral state, sheep and cattle naturally form the most valuable and negotiable kind of property. They are easily transferable, convey themselves about, and can be kept for many years, so that they readily perform some of the functions of

Muslims and encouraging them to join the Holy War or Jihad. [8] Some Muslim schools are centers of violent extremist teaching. Most are not. Madrassahsh is an Arabic term for higher-level Muslim schools. They have been important elements of Islamic civilizations since the ninth century and can be found everywhere in the Muslim world. Curricula vary greatly but usually include some combination of Classical Arabic grammar, Quranic exegesis, Islamic law, theology and sometimes mysticism. Fixation on madrassahs

the middle of the nineteenth century all over the world, no transitional forms have yet been uncovered. All of the fossils, contrary to the evolutionists' expectations, show that life appeared on Earth all of a sudden and fully-formed. One famous British paleontologist, Derek V. Ager, admits this fact, even though he is an evolutionist: The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail, whether at the level of orders or of species, we find – over and over again – not gradual evolution

who frequently face life-threatening situations, which heightens the tension and suspense. Chapter 1 also introduces one of the novel's major themes, the conflict between the traditional and the modern.

This stereotype is evident in the descriptions of the peasants that Harker - a modern, urban man - meets along his journey. He dismisses

This view is difficult to challenge, since Mr. Lyons is absent from the story, but there is little reason not to accept it. British law would have favored the man and she would have had considerable difficulty in obtaining a divorce at the time. This is one example of how fiction and reality are intermingled within the work; reform of such laws was one of the many issues that
