Using the combined Philosophy of Zen, Shinto and Confucianism, this book can be applied not just to Martial Arts but all areas of life. The book demonstrates you have to be committed completely to all the areas of life that you participate in.Nowadays life is not so simple that we can pursue just one way at a time. We are taught at school so many different ways that we cannot live in just one singular vision and give all our body and mind to just one aim. Today we have to work and pursue social lives out of work time and still try to fulfil aims and be satisfied within. We all can’t get to the top, but be assured the top can’t survive without other levels. They are no better and no worse. We don’t all have natural abilities and many have to work harder and in different ways to achieve their aims and obtain as high a level as is possible and therefore be satisfied they have achieved what they can.

Modern India is the world's largest democracy, a sprawling, polyglot nation containing one-sixth of all humankind. The existence of such a complex and distinctive democratic regime qualifies as one of the world's bona fide political miracles. Furthermore, India's leading political thinkers have often served as its most influential political actors--think of Gandhi, whose collected works run to more than ninety volumes, or Ambedkar, or Nehru, who recorded their most eloquent theoretical reflections at the same time as they strove to set the delicate machinery of Indian democracy on a coherent and just path. Out of the speeches and writings of these thinker-activists, Ramachandra Guha has built the first major anthology of Indian social and political thought. Makers of Modern India collects the work of nineteen of India's foremost generators of political sentiment, from those whose names command instant global recognition to pioneering subaltern and feminist thinkers whose works have until now remained obscure and inaccessible.
