It is in fact a book which depicts the process of the development of Mohandas into Mahatma Gandhi. The heading itself suggests that here the whole story emphasises to depict him as the journey of a simple man. The book deals with the Gandhian vision which according to author was imbibed by Gandhiji taking it from the Indian Hindu Tradition. The author thinks that assimilating the ideas enshrined in his vision Gandhi himself became a product of the ideas. The most remarkable thing about this book is that it has successfully presented that a very simple man without any mesmerizing qualities just by making a sincere effort consciously adopts what appears to be good to him up to his limited capability. In the process he not only recognizes the truth/goodness but also enhances his capacity to understand and adopt them. Finally blossoming into what Gandhi was. 150 pp. …

The national leadership of the women's movement in India as in several other countries has largely been in the hands of highly educated high caste women from an urban background. But at the regional levels several women's organisations often take highly polarised positions on women's issues on dimensions of tradition and modernity. One debate that never dies down is the dress patterns of women. Many states require women teachers and women employees of several institutions to strictly adhere to a dress code. There are no such dress codes for men who can freely adopt western dress styles. The debate on women's dress has seen gone to the courts as in the case of school teachers of Kolkata. The mass media rarely brings out the point that women can be dressed in a dignified manner in several attires including western ones that are designed for comfort and the convenience of working women. If the women's movement in India can at least throw out these dress codes and allow women to wear what is comfortable to them it will be a singular achievement of women. But it is not to be so as many women's groups themselves criticise the free choice of dress by women who boldly take a stand against such outdated codes that pressure them to conform to traditional norms guided by patriarchal ideology. All the newspapers gave wide coverage to the nude women's protest complete with photographs. But later reports of further protests had no photographs of torch bearing women who were in the rallies. The media found sensational the nude protest of the women but their next protests were regarded less newsworthy and exciting. Except for some expression of solidarity from the Mahila Samakhya Andhra Pradesh there was dead silence from all the women's groups the National Commission of women women parliamentarians and leaders. The mass media highlights rape cases concerning starlets and models only for the sensational effect but without focus on the crime against women. 290 pp.…

Securitisation is an off balance sheet financing technique which has developed in USA in mid nineteen seventies. This concept has been introduced into the financial system in India after 1990. The primary objective of securitisation is to mobilise resources at a comparatively lower cost through a wider investor base by removing loan asset from the balance sheet of a lender. It involves the packaging of designated pools of loans and receivables and sale of these packages to various investors in the form of securities which are collateralized by the underlying assets and their associated income stream. It is the process through which illiquid assets are transformed into more liquid form and distributed to a wide range of investors through the medium of capital market. Basically all the assets which generates cash flows can be securitised. These include mortgage loans housing loans car loans other vehicle loans trade receivables etc. Now the future receivables or future cash flows like tax receipts educational receipts electricity bills toll tax etc. are securitised. The dire need of development of securitisation market for effectively doing the Asset Liability Management (ALM) and to rein the ever growing monster of NPAs in banks and financial institutions led to the enactment of Secularisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act 2002. 264 pp. …

Corporate governance against the backdrop of globalization has become a delicate and onerous take for survival as well as for seizing the opportunities. Good corporate governance cascades form a set of core values that need to be instilled at all levels of the organization. The quality of governance will become one of the key tests and one of the major drivers of shareholder value. Better governance would facilitate easier access to capital from domestic market. A transparent regulatory framework and better disclosure systems are crucial for attracting foreign investors as well. In the new environmental context corporate governance is no longer a luxury but a necessity. There is a gap between precept and practice of corporate governance. While there are enough examples of inadequate corporate governance examples of good corporate governance are few. Feudal mindset manifold regulations lack of concern for society a sense of insecurity and greed are some of the reasons for this. Though corporate governance is often thought about as a soft issue that in no way undermines its importance. Soft it may be but hardheaded investors increasingly place their money on these so called soft issues. 210 pp. …

Women in the past were denied of their educational and other rights and were not treated on par with men. This position of women lasted up to the eighteenth century. Today there has been a fast improvement in the status of women due to the concerted efforts taken by the women's rights activists and ideologists and also by the upsurge of women's rights movements. Women enjoy the freedom of right education at all levels and they enter into the public service with equal zeal and interest as that of their counterparts. Mathematics is a rare area of discipline in which women have proved themselves as intellectually competent enough at par with men for a long period. The moment mathematics is spelt it is understood as a male dominated area of study and research and for a long time it is also proved to be under the monopoly of men to a larger extent. Though there have been a few women teaching mathematics at the higher level such as universities national institutes they have not established themselves as mathematicians of course as a teacher of mathematics. It has been brought out book that women could establish their intellectual capabilities on par with men and in some cases they excelled men in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge in the male dominated subjects like mathematics even during the period when they were deprived of their educational opportunities. 208 pp.…

New economic order and current pattern of Indo Nepal Trade. 4. Globalization and Nepalese Foreign Trade Dilemma. 5. Summary conclusions and recommendations. Annexures. Bibliography. Index. International trade is an engine of economic development. It affects economic social and political affairs of a country. This work is an attempt to enquire into the same. In this study we tried intensively to investigate the role of Indo Nepal Foreign Trade in Economic Development of Nepalese Economy. Authors have faith on this dictum that trade relations are the basis of over all relations. Nepal has trade relations with India since the time immemorial. Nepal's trade with India since the time immemorial Nepal's trade with India remained significant in the past till the first quarter of 20 century. Pattern of trade between India and Nepal changed after India became independent from British Rulers and Nepal also got rid of Rana Rulers in 1950. This study although covers a long period of Indo Nepal trade relations but it concentrates especially over the First Decade of Economic Liberalisation (1990 2000) of Nepalese Economy. It deals with current status of various components of Nepalese Economy impact of globalisation on it and role of the foreign trade in the economic development of the same. This work concludes that globalisation has a little positive impact in reducing poverty improving health facilities and increasing employment during the period 1990 91 to 2000 2001. 324 pp.…

While the multilateral trade and economic ambience of the World and the scope of South Asia fitting into that framework for growth and competitiveness forms the central theme of the book it intends to infer from the holistic trends in the regional initiatives towards integrating in a multilateral world order. Given the economic and political priorities of member nations a note of modesty is in order as to how much it can achieve in the given level of regional coherence. Anyone even superficially acquainted with the region could have observed unprecedented magnitude and complexity both in the levels of politics as well as history. Against this whatever initiatives mooted by small group of development seekers can expected to contribute is left open. Besides a definitive answer to many of the basic questions related to the region's development in a cohesive manner requires longitudinal data and its in depth analysis and a pragmatic interpretation and solution mode. This book on South Asia and Multilateral Trade Regime Disorders for Development intends to bring a focus on the pragmatic approach to identify potential economic sectors for regional integration process. It intends to advocate for a market lead confidence building initiative against the vocal initiatives of the past. While it tries to bring out the energy and integration of the region towards a cohesive regional power by aligning few of its potential economic sectors for ends both political and economical it leaves scope of further probe on the related areas towards establishing a cohesive and competent South Asian region. 346 pp.…
