Afghanistan & the Great Game - Suhash Chakravarty - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Afghanistan & the Great Game - Suhash Chakravarty - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the U.S., Afghanistan and the Great Game have been focused as the centrepiece of international attention. Commentators have been somewhat episodic in their treatment of issues in the present-day Afghanistan and the renewal of Great Game. Suhash Chakravarty has sought to present struggle against the Taliban barbarism in the context of the evolution of the Afghan polity and nation in the 21st Century with a view to locating the significant diacritical marks in the ethnic and social struggles in Afghanistan. This is supported by a case study of imperial expansion in the late nineteenth century centred on Anglo-Afghan relations. A rich range of original material drawn from public archives as well as from family papers has been sifted in order to achieve what must be the most comprehensive study made so far on the subject.

Twenty First Century Unrest in West Asia - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Twenty First Century Unrest in West Asia - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

In the twenty-first century, West Asia is moving in different directions -- politically, culturally and economically -- with far-reaching consequences for global peace and security. On the one side, political change through Arab Spring uprooted many authoritarian regimes and brought democratic elements in West Asian polity while on the other side instability and uncertainty continue to challenge many countries like Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Lebanon. Religious fundamentalism assumed new twist with the rise of forces like ISS that triggered a wave of violence in many West Asian countries and other parts of the world. Insecurity has resulted in millions of refugees in West Asia to seek migration to Europe and other parts of the world. The global powers, which spoiled the peace and prosperity of the region through colonialism and imperialism, show least interest in the present West Asia imbroglio. Most of the turmoil in West Asia is linked with its history and culture. It is not possible to address the deep-seated problems involved in the social transformation in these countries through overthrow of old regimes. These countries need more political and economic stability with popular participation. However, mistrust and uncertainties are threatening peace and security in the region. This book contains 13 articles by leading West Asian scholars on different dimensions of the geo-political scenario of the region.

Foreign Policy of India in the 21st Century - Biswaranjan Mohanty - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Foreign Policy of India in the 21st Century - Biswaranjan Mohanty - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Foreign policy of any country is not a static phenomenon and this is certainly true of a huge and complex country like India, getting ready to emerge as a major global player in the 21st Century. Jawahar Lal Nehru -- India''s first Prime Minister -- provided the ideological framework from which continuities and changes in foreign policies can be dissected and inferences drawn on the ideological or pragmatic shifts. India has showcased itself not only as a matured democratic polity but also as an equally matured economy. It has stood tall and robust as a mammoth amidst the domineering global financial meltdown and an equally contagious disease -- authoritarianism -- in the neighbouring developing world. There is an intense support to Nehru''s passionate implementation of ethics and morality in India''s policy-making. Whatever be the nature of engagement with Nehru''s legacy in India''s foreign policy-making, that distinct Nehruvain flavour to India''s foreign policy is retained. Despite compelling circumstances like the Iraq war or the war in Afghanistan and India''s Nuclear Deal, India has striven to maintain her Non-aligned stance. Similarly, conflicts in the territories of immediate neighbours have called for a much more serious and responsible role to be played by India. Under such circumstances an intermix of a hesitant shift from the Nehruvian legacy as well as an attempt to utilise it as a marker of India''s distinct foreign policy making remains a reality. The present book provides deep insights into the various dimensions of India''s foreign policy, focusing on recent developments. It dishes out variegated perspectives on India''s foreign policy underscoring the importance of regional co-operation -- especially among South Asian countries -- and engaging insightfully with the debate over the Nehruvian legacy.

Raj Syndrome - Suhash Chakravarty - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Raj Syndrome - Suhash Chakravarty - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

This book seeks to appreciate the trends of imperial perceptions of India and her institutions. Thematically, the drift and propensities of imperial perceptions etched out here are valid for the whole period of Raj which was initiated with the assumption of authority by the British crown from the East India Company. The book attempts to capture the broad parameters and intricate detours of imperial perceptions of India especially since the over-confident days of the adolescent Raj in the mid-seventies of the nineteenth century. Economic power, military authority and diplomatic ascendancy of the empire were sustained by the centrality of Raj in British imperial psychology. British sensibility with regard to the Raj displayed an arrogant and an authoritarian programme, quite different from the fraternal fellow-feelings which were displayed towards Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and Rhodesia. The primary object of the work is to weave a pattern and discover a meaning in imperial sensibility.

Trade, Territory & Technology - Shrinivas Tripathy - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Trade, Territory & Technology - Shrinivas Tripathy - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

This book is an attempt to look at the structural and functional changes occurring in the global economic system in the wake of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation wave sweeping across the world economies. People in developing countries have lost confidence in the existing international institutions -- which are supposed to be the protectors -- because at the time of the crisis they seem helpless in protecting the interests of poor economies. The institutions like International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank did not do enough during Asian Crisis of the last century. They were again not forthcoming when the Economic Crisis (2008) hit the world economies. Problems like poverty and unemployment in underdeveloped countries cannot be solved by one nation but need concerted efforts of the world as a whole. Therefore, there is a need for Global Democratic Government to make the world happier and a prosperous home of human beings.

Central Asia: The Great Game Replayed - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Central Asia: The Great Game Replayed - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

In the nineteenth century, The Great Game was played between two major colonial powers of the time-Tsarist Russia and Great Britain. The prize was "The Jewel in the Crown"-India, and the pathway to it ran through Afghanistan. Today, the pathway still runs through Afghanistan but the players are different-the United States of America, Russia and China, with Iran, India, Pakistan on the periphery. The prize is the oil and mineral wealth of Central Asia and its geopolitical and strategic positioning. In the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the US in September 2001, this region has become the field of intense competition among the major powers. The resultant American military presence in Afghanistan and some of the states of Central Asia, a new dimension has been added to the geo-politics of the region. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the Indian perspective on the Great Game as it unfolds and its geopolitical ramifications for this country.

Economic History of India: 1857-1947 - Anilkumar K - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

The British came to India as merchants in the middle of the 17th century. After gaining foothold on the coastline, they spread to every corner of the Indian peninsula. They gained political supremacy around the middle of the 18th century. After winning the Battle of Plassey in 1757 and the Battle of Buxer in 1764, they established themselves firmly as the rulers of India and ruled it till 1947 to sub-serve their economic interests. The British rule in India can be divided into two periods: (a) the rule of the East India Company from 1757 to 1858 and (b) the rule of the British Government from 1858 to 1947. The British interests in India were governed by the requirements of the Industrial Revolution which started in Britain in the middle of the 18th century and then spread to other regions of Europe. These were two-fold: (a) to secure raw materials from India for factories in Britain and (b) to ensure permanent market in India for the British manufactures. To fulfil these objectives, they adopted measures which proved disastrous for the Indian economy. This book gives a comprehensive and vivid account of various aspects of the Indian economy during the period 1857 to 1947. It is spread over 30 chapters which have been organized into 5 theme parts. Part I (chapters 1 and 2) is titled Colonial India: Background and Introduction.

Part II (chapters 3 to 5) is titled Macroeconomic Trends. It deals with discussion on national income estimates, population trends and characteristics, and occupational structure. Part III (chapters 6 to 14) is titled Agriculture, Forests, and Famines. It is devoted to description of agrarian structure and land relations, agricultural markets and institutions, agricultural credit, agricultural commerce, agricultural technology, irrigation development, productivity of agriculture, forest policy and legislations, and famines in India.

Muslim Minorities in Europe & India - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Muslim Minorities in Europe & India - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

The issue of accommodation of religious minorities within the structure of nation-states has been a subject of intense discussions among scholars and policy makers across the world since the late 20th century. Most societies and nation-states in the world are either experiencing strains in accommodating the social, economic and political concerns of minority communities or facing difficulties in managing majority-minority relationship. More than any other community, it is the integration of minority Muslim communities that has been the subject of global debates and deliberations, particularly in the western hemisphere. The emergence of political radicalism within some sections of Muslim communities in the West and a series of terrorist attacks has further compounded this problem. These developments have reinforced the pervasive thinking among a large section of non-Muslim host societies that Islam suffers from structural deficiencies for a meaningful integration in the host societies. The edited volume is a collection of 14 scholarly articles including introduction, which deals with the problem of accommodation of Muslim minority communities in the European and Indian contexts. It interrogates the notion of modernity, Muslim modernity, secularism, pluralism and multiculturalism in both European and Indian settings. Linkages of religion, ethnicity and politics for the integration of Muslim minorities within the structure of nation-state are also explored in a cross-cultural comparative framework.

Banking in India - Ujjwala Shahi - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Banking in India - Ujjwala Shahi - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Banking in India has a long history and it has evolved over the years passing through various phases. The beginning of modern day banking in India can be traced to 18th century when English traders came to India. The English Agency Houses in Calcutta and Bombay began to conduct banking business besides their commercial activities. Banking in India during the pre-Independence period was largely characterised by the existence of private banks organised as joint stock companies. Most banks were small and had private shareholding of the closely-held variety. They were largely localised and many of them failed. At the time of Independence in 1947, the Indian banking system was weak. The entire banking sector was in the private sector and the credit requirements of agriculture and other needy sectors were ignored. With a view to better aligning the banking system to the needs of planning and economic policy, the policy of social control over the banking sector began in 1967. The year 1969 was a landmark in the history of commercial banking in India. In July of that year, the Government nationalised 14 major commercial banks of the country. In April 1980, Government nationalised 6 more commercial banks. The period beginning from the early 1990s witnessed the transformation of the banking sector as a result of financial sector reforms that were introduced as a part of structural reforms initiated in 1991. This book integrates and brings together the history of modern banking in India, with focus on recent developments in the context of liberalisation and privatisation wave sweeping across world economies.

Labour policy of the Government of India derives its philosophy from the Directive Principles of State Policy as enshrined in the Constitution of India. Various legislations have been enacted to promote employment and general welfare of labour. As in other developing countries, unemployment is a serious problem of the Indian economy. The poverty of the masses in India is closely related to the problem of unemployment. Unemployment is a multi-dimensional phenomenon in India. It is not restricted to one sector or group of population. Instead, it is a widespread disease touching almost every segment of the society. Policies of economic liberalisation have drastically altered the relationship between the state, labour and business. This book covers all these aspects of labour policy in the context of ongoing economic reforms in India.

Food Security - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Food Security - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Food security is one of the major components of social security. It consists of ensuring that food is available at all times, that all persons have means of and access to it, that it is nutritionally adequate in terms of quantity, quality and variety, and that it is acceptable within the given culture. There are three elements in this definition, availability, accessibility and suitability. In recent years, nutrition has been considered as a part of food security. Food security is a form of investment in human capital. It brings stability in people''s lives and makes it easier for them to meet their basic needs, protect health, educate children, and take risks. Poverty, land degradation, climate change are some of the causes of food insecurity. Each country, be it developed or developing, faces a specific challenge in meeting the food requirements of its population. The problem is more severe in developing countries which are agro economies and are heavily dependent on natural climate for a good yield. There are other problems also like food wastage by a section of the population while the rest go hungry. No country could perhaps ever be 100 percent food secure in the holistic comprehension of the term. Yet there are some countries which have more successfully tackled their food requirements with effective economic and trade policies while others are failing. This book comprises of 15 papers which provide critical and comparative analysis of food security policies and programmes in a cross-section of countries, developed and developing.

West Asia - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

West Asia - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

Civil society constitutes a range of interest groups and political parties that occupy the space between the individual and the state. The notions of democracy and civil society are inextricably linked -- democracy fosters the development of civil society as it allows freedom of association to the individuals. This space then links the individuals to the state. In the backdrop of wave of political liberalization sweeping through the region since the early 1990s, the debate on democratization in West Asia has been associated with the study of three crucial issues, namely whether civil society exists in the region? What are its strengths? What are its weaknesses and what the future holds for its existence? Evidence from the political processes of some countries of the region -- such as Jordan, Turkey, and Gulf States -- reveals that civil society has strengthened in the region in the recent past. This book is an attempt to understand the notion of civil society and its relations with democracy and state in the context of West Asia.

Indian Agriculture - - Bog - New Century Publications - Plusbog.dk

The largest portion of the natural resources of India consists of land and by far the largest number of its inhabitants is engaged in agriculture. Therefore, in any scheme of economic development of the country, agriculture holds a position of basic importance. Agricultural sector occupies a key position in the Indian economy and provides employment to about 65 per cent of the working population of India. The economic development process guided by the market- driven parameters has benefited selected sections of society. The fruits of liberalisation and globalisation have not percolated to the agricultural and rural sectors sufficiently. The farming community is by and large in crisis due to non-protective attitude of the government. The agriculture has become unviable with liberalised imports, global competitiveness and volatile nature of market prices. The present volume contains research findings of scholars specialising in different aspects of Indian agriculture.
