The war between Aeland and Laneer leaves men changed, strangers to their friends and family, but even after faking his own death and reinventing himself as a doctor at a cash-strapped veterans' hospital, Miles can’t hide what he truly is. When a fatally poisoned patient exposes Miles’ healing gift and his witchmark, he must put his anonymity and freedom at risk to investigate his patient’s murder. To find the truth he’ll need to rely on the family he despises, and on the kindness of the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen.

| makhai valentine 247: Ethnicity in India Ajit K. Danda, 1991 Through the present account the author has made several departures from the trend of thought related to ethnicity as set in the West. Instead of compehending the same primarily as the system of categorisation based on a set of fixed criteria where inter-relationship of the national mainstream with the so called ethnic minorities is considered important, in view of pluri-cultural realities, ethnicity has been perceived here as the strategy of interest alliance: a state of dynamic equilibrium. The nature of exposition of ethnicity under the circumstance depends to a major extent o the kind of stimulus, received by an individual or a group at a given point of time. Such a definition of ethnicity presupposes possible multiplicity of identities and inherent plural loyalties on social, political, cultural or other counts. Importance of boundary in the understanding of the problems of ethnicity, therefore, is considered very crucial. What is even more important at this stage is to accept the fact that ethnicity in its broader perspective manifests the apparent clash of cultural and political mechanisms of boundary maintenance that are basiccally unlik. Under the given constraints, expectations for the spirit of uniformity, as it appears, is required to be replaced by that of harmony acknowledging the distinctionsof those that are really different. |
