Which is the best romantic novel by an Indian author?
The best romantic novel by an Indian author was a book I first read when I was twelve and even now it holds the same appeal. It's a timeless classic. It's the greatest romantic true life story of a doomed love affair. It’s an inter racial love story between an European and an Indian. Passionate first love thwarted by cultural constraints.“It Does Not Die” by Maitreyi Devi, poet novelist and protege of Rabindranath Tagore. Maitreyi Devi won the Sahitya Akademi award for this book.This book was written as a response to Mircea Eliade, world famous scholar who wrote “Maitreyi” a semi autobiography, a classic which is taught in schools in Romania. La Nuit Bengali, in English “The Bengal Nights” portrayed their love story, which is mostly the author's erotic fantasy.Forty years later, Maitreyi Devi read “Bengal Nights" and wrote her own side of the story “It Does Not Die”, recalling a true account of their love. It's deep. It's honest and heartfelt. Very touching.Mircea Eliade, then 23 had come down to Calcutta as an Engineer and worked under Maitreyi Devi's father and was invited to stay with Maitreyi Devi's family, intellectual elite and liberal minded who gave their daughter Maitreyi, then 16 years, the best education and while Mircea Eliade learnt philosophy from Maitreyi Devi's father, he in turn became Maitreyi Devi's teacher, teaching her French.Beautiful love blossomed and when Maitreyi Devi's father found out about their love affair, he banished Mircea Eliade out of his home and the intense, passionate love affair was doomed, thwarted by cultural differences.“It Does Not Die” is truly the best romantic novel ever.

As libertarians base their belief on property, how, according to them, came property into being?
This is a very important, even pivotal, question. Though I'd qualify that libertarians tend to base their beliefs more on consent and minimized coercion as opposed to something like equal economic outcomes for various classes or utility maximization. Property is an aspect of all economic systems. In terms of real estate, mining rights, etc. , I think that the matter is legitimately controversial. Some libertarians will say that land is worthless until it is worked, so working the land gives it value. This is not my own view, and I think it can be effectively contradicted by the fact that unworked land or a vacant lot can have tremendous value on the free market. The British enclosure laws, which basically stole land from the public for the sake of private interests, resulted in a dramatic increase in productivity in Britain. Ideally, the public would benefit from the land that they lost.Personally, I think that private land is an incredibly useful fiction and that the utility of private property (combined with the need for a modern military to defend it) justifies property taxes and taxing extraction of materials from the land such as with mining. Of course, once you have the metal out of the ground value can be added to it by labor and that labor would ideally mostly belong to the person creating it. The notion that all labor belongs to the state because of public education is insidious. There's value, of course, in government regulation to promote public trust and enforce informed consent, build roads, etc. But these are a fraction of current government expenditures.What concerns me personally is when people try to justify all ownership of goods being public property that the government has just lent back to people out of its magnanimity. Phrases like "how should we spend our money" (you spend it however you like. Other people make the same choices on an individual level) or claiming that tax cuts are 'giving money to people.' are evidence of this mindset.
Why do I get a creepy feeling in my bedroom?
I lived in this house for about seven months. Before now I never got scared or had 'creepy feelings' despite it being an old house. About three weeks ago, after I rearrange my bed, I started having nightmares pretty much every night repeatedly. They were on different subjects, involving different fears, but it would all be very creepy. When I woke up, I'd get the feeling someone was watching me and sometime would see what appeared to be someone in the hallway. Now, I just chalked it up to new shadows and my sense of paranoia. But my fiance woke up about a week ago from a disturbing dream himself. Upon waking he thought he saw me in the hallway. He called my name and the figure turned around and disappeared. I didn't really tell him about the figure, more about the dreams. Since then I've find it hard to impossible to stay in that room and I have been reduced to sleeping in the living room. Now, I have gone the route of cleansing and purifying. I've done and had done for me house blessings and the like and the feeling remains. This inability to stay there even happens during the day. I have to have a TV on just to take a shower. I've been in 'haunted' houses before, I've even seen some pretty 'creepy' stuff, but I've never had it effect me like this. I've never been so paranoid. I've also seriously considered it being all in my head. I've tried just staying in there to overcome the feeling, facing down the creepy feeling but it never seems to dissipate. Rational thought seems sweep aside with this feeling of dread and discomfort. The whole thing is making me uneasy, on edge and frankly is disturbing the people around me. My question is what going on to make me so frighten of this one room and why so sudden? Do you think it paranormal or perhaps something that all in my head? If so, either case, what do I do about it? It doesn't happen in other room in the house. Not even the 'normal' creepy places like the garage or attic, just my bedroom. I've investigated other forms of bad feelings, such as gas links, carbon monoxide and mold, all which turned up negative. I'm looking for advice and maybe just some feedback to now I'm not alone. Thank you.

I need help quick on Marxism.?
Yeah, my teacher asks me about Marxism Heroes to be put on homework, and since I did not pay attention to what he's talking about I don't know anything. The book has not been much help because it's not there, people says. And I've already checked it three times, and it's not there. Could anybody tell me what are Marxism Heroes. Who are they and what did they do? LOOK, I'm SERIOUS GUYS. THIS NEEDS TO BE OUT TOMORROW!
