AbstractThe history of mass political formation in post-colonial metropolitan India has generally been narrated through the optic of ‘competitive electoral mobilization’ of the ‘poor’. How then are we to explain cases of successful mobilization in the terrain of ‘political society’ when some population groups are yet to, or just beginning to, constitute themselves as ‘vote bank’ communities? This article invites us to look into the organizational dimensions of subaltern politics in contemporary urban India. It also prompts us to re-examine the relation between law and subaltern politics. In this light, the article presents some of the major findings of a larger historical anthropology project on the organized mobilization of footpath hawkers in Calcutta since the 1970s. It examines the ways in which the hawkers have acquired and aggregated crucial resources to sustain prolonged anti-eviction movements. In this connection, this article makes a critique of the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014.

AbstractThis article seeks to establish the value of the concept of cosmotopia to historians of intercultural connections through presenting a case study of the Calcutta Unitarian Committee, which was active between 1821 and 1828. In tandem, it aims to enhance understanding of the origins of one particularly sustained set of intercultural connections: the interfaith network which developed between an influential group of Hindu religious and social reformers, the Brahmo Samaj, and western Unitarian Christians. The article focusses on the collaboration between the two leading figures on the Committee: Rammohun Roy, the renowned founder of the Brahmo Samaj, who is often described as the Father of Modern India; and William Adam, a Scottish Baptist missionary who was condemned as the “second fallen Adam” after his “conversion” to Unitarianism by Rammohun Roy, and who went on to cofound a utopian community in the United States. It explores the Calcutta Unitarian Committee's activities within the cosmopolitan milieu of early colonial Calcutta, and clarifies its role in the emergence of the Brahmo Samaj, in the development of a unique approach to Christian mission among Unitarians, and in laying the foundations of a transnational network whose members were in the vanguard of religious innovation, radical social reform, and debates on the “woman question” in nineteenth-century India, Britain, and the United States. In conclusion, the article draws on the case study to offer some broader reflections on the relationship between utopianism, cosmopolitanism, and colonialism.

The history of development of Kolkata as a megacity in India dates back to 300 years. The scenario changed when the administrative headquarter of the British East India Company was established in erstwhile Calcutta, located at the bank of the River Hugli in the lower Gangetic plain. Since its inception, Kolkata has undergone rapid formal and functional change. Both national and international migration has led to the demographic explosion, urban industrial development and an increase in economic opportunities which caused environmental degradation. Until 1793, the urban dynamics of Kolkata followed a linear pattern along the left bank of the Hugli River. A similar trend continued along the right bank from 1793 to 1947 and extended up to its periphery post-independence. In this paper, an attempt was made to explore the influence of river ghats on the urban environment along the selected stretch of the River Hugli. Human activities like garbage disposal (0.089), sewage disposal (0.088) and idol immersion (0.084) have a negative impact on the river water. Secondly, this paper attempts to study the vertical expansion of Kolkata. It has been observed that the average height of buildings in the CBD area is 84.6 meters while along the peri-urban area it is only 10.61 meters proving the distance decay effect (R2 = 0.405 and R2 = 0.314). Besides, the mean values of DQ (5.179mg/l), BQD (8.5mg/l) and CQD (34.5mg/l) in the river water reflect the degrading water quality for the aquatic environment. Geospatial assessment techniques were used to understand the research problems and combat the environmental challenges. Complex functional development and decaying urban quality of life along the Hugli River has led to critical environmental transformation.

With the initiation of the process of liberalization and reform of the financial sector, banking in India has undergone significant changes. The banking sector had to adapt rapid and radical changes. The environment became more challenging for Public Sector Banks as a good number of them survived merely by the grace of state protectionism and were administered in extremely inefficient manner which caused them to go to bankruptcies quite often. The employees of these banks with secured employment under the shield of all powerful unions were blissfully indifferent towards quality of performance particularly customer service and profitability of the bank. In face of the increasing competition where banking industry as a whole was striving to achieve greater efficiencies in their day-to-day operations, some of the Public Sector Banks actually confronted with existential crisis. The Public Sector bank under study - United Bank of India (UBI) was declared by 1999 as the one among ― the weakest in all the banks‘‘ by the Verma Committee set up by Reserve Bank of India. There was an urgent need for UBI to transform itself for bare survival and to meet the shifting requirements of the new turbulent environment.This case study narrates the transformation of UBI from one of ― the weakest in all the banks ‘‘ of India to a successful Public Sector Bank capable of providing better customer service which undoubtedly signifies improvement in the bank‘s work culture.

Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta in English, is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal and is located in eastern India on the east bank of the River Hooghly. The city was a colonial city developed by the British East India Company and then by the British Empire. Kolkata was the capital of the British Indian empire until 1911 when the capital was relocated to Delhi. Kolkata grew rapidly in the 19th century to become the second city of the British Empire. This was accompanied by the development of a culture that fused European philosophies with Indian tradition. The city has been known by many names "Cultural Capital of India", "The City of Processions", "The City of Palaces", and the "City of Joy". Problems related to rapid urbanisation started to plaque Kolkata from the 1930s and the city remains an example of the urbanization challenges of the developing nations. The exercise included Archival research, Field surveys, Condition Mapping, structural evaluation and preparation of restoration & conservation solutions along with post conservation management plan. The Major challenges encountered were identifying the correct consolidation techniques using modern technology and incorporation of modern services. The Documentation and Mapping was used as a significant tool to guide towards the structural consolidation, conservation and Management strategy of the complex.

AbstractIndia is gradually changing its course from decades of inward-looking economics and strong anti-Western foreign policies. It has become more pragmatic, seeing important economic benefits from globalization, and some political benefits of working with the United States to achieve New Delhi's great-power aspirations. Despite these changes, I argue that India's deep-seated anti-colonial nationalism and commitment to strategic autonomy continues to form the core of Indian identity. This makes India's commitment to Western-dominated multilateral institutions and Western norms, such as humanitarian intervention, partial and instrumental. Thus, while Indian foreign-policy discourse shows little sign of seeking to fully challenge the U.S.-led international order beyond largely reformist measures of building parallel institutions such as the New Development Bank, India will continue to strongly resist Western actions that weaken sovereignty norms.

Full textAbstract:
In 1923, three young single western women—Margaret Read, Iris Wingate, and Eleanor Rivett—made an adventurous summer trip riding and trekking from Kalimpong in West Bengal, right up to Sikkim. Read and Wingate, both wearing riding breeches and with hair bobbed, were somewhat more adventurous, continuing their trip to Tibet. This was a holiday from their work in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), the great cosmopolitan city of the British Raj in India. Surely these independent and mobile women were reminiscent of “the Modern Girl” that has been “singled out as a marker of ‘modernity’”. However, these women were not in the sites where “the Modern Girl” has hitherto been located, for they were working in the Christian missionary movement in India. Eleanor Rivett, an Australian and the oldest in the trio, was principal of United Missionary Girls High School (UMGHS) while Iris Wingate and Margaret Read, both British, were working with the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) in Kolkata.

Full textAbstract:
SUMMARY Vibrio parahaemolyticus is recognized as a cause of food-borne gastroenteritis, particularly in the Far East, where raw seafood consumption is high. An unusual increase in admissions of V. parahaemolyticus cases was observed at the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Calcutta, a city in the northeastern part of India, beginning February 1996. Analysis of the strains revealed that a unique serotype, O3:K6, not previously isolated during the surveillance in Calcutta accounted for 50 to 80% of the infections in the following months. After this report, O3:K6 isolates identical to those isolated in Calcutta were reported from food-borne outbreaks and from sporadic cases in Bangladesh, Chile, France, Japan, Korea, Laos, Mozambique, Peru, Russia, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United States. Other serotypes, such as O4:K68, O1:K25, and O1:KUT (untypeable), that had molecular characteristics identical to that of the O3:K6 serotype were subsequently documented. These serotypes appeared to have diverged from the O3:K6 serotype by alteration of the O:K antigens and were defined as “serovariants” of the O3:K6 isolate. O3:K6 and its serovariants have now spread into Asia, America, Africa, and Europe. This review traces the genesis, virulence features, molecular characteristics, serotype variants, environmental occurrence, and global spread of this unique clone of V. parahaemolyticus.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper attempts to see how a particular labour market (domestic service), a traditionally male domain, became segregated both by gender and age in the post-partition Indian state of West Bengal, and mainly in its capital city Calcutta. It argues that the downward trend in industrial job opportunities in post independent West Bengal, accompanied by the large scale immigration of men, women and children from bordering East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), led to a general decline in wage rate for those in domestic service. Poor refugee women, in their frantic search for a means of survival, gradually drove out the males of the host population who were engaged in domestic service in urban West Bengal by offering to work for a very low wage and often for no wage at all. As poor males from the neighbouring states of Bihar, Orissa and the United Provinces constituted historically a substantial section of Calcutta domestic workers, it was mainly this group who were replaced by refugee women. The second stage in the changing profile of domestic service since the 1970s in urban West Bengal was arguably set by migrating girl children from different parts of the state to Calcutta city in search of employment. This is probably why West Bengal had the highest girl children's work-participation rate in urban India in 2001.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2008 the Scottish government and heritage authorities have been engaged in several projects and partnerships in India aimed at conserving colonial-era heritage and providing assistance to Indian authorities in the preservation of Indian heritage. These projects range from the recording and rejuvenation of the Scottish Cemetery in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) to the documentation of Rani Ki Vav, a significant Hindu stepwell, as part of the ‘Scottish 10’ project. These investments are notable for two reasons: typically, international involvement in a country's heritage would come in the form of a non-state actor such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) rather than another nation-state. Furthermore, as many of the sites in India of interest to the Scots were established during the colonial period and exist as a direct result of British rule, the Scottish involvement in their preservation runs the risk of attracting claims of cultural colonialism. These challenges have been effectively neutralised through the selection of projects that emphasise the positive contributions made by Scots in India, and through the positioning of these projects as acts of altruism and of the celebration of shared collective histories. This article will discuss the motives behind Scottish investment in heritage sites in India, demonstrating both the way that heritage can be engaged with at a bi-lateral level as an act of cultural diplomacy as well as the way heritage can be used to promote the perception of a specific version of national identity.

Full textAbstract:
Indirect transfers refer to situations where when foreign entities own shares or assets in India, the shares of such foreign entities are transferred instead of a direct transfer of the underlying assets in India. There are innumerable permutations to such indirect transfers, many of which have been sought to be taxed by the Indian Government in the recent past. Beginning from the Vodafone case involving a tax demand of approximately USD 2.1 billion, which was followed by knee-jerk amendments to the Income Tax Act annually, to the recent Cairn case involving a tax demand of approximately USD 1.6 billion, the imposition of this tax has taken quite a few twists and turns. This article seeks to summarize and present a brief timeline of the issues related to indirect transfers, including the unintended issues that arose and those that continue to remain unresolved. These unresolved issues present potential concerns for future investments into India and for current foreign investors with investments in India. Further recognizing that unilateral measures by countries in taxing indirect transfers can result in incoherence and uncertainty, the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and World Bank Group have come out with a draft paper aimed at achieving international consensus on this issue.

Full textAbstract:
A recent article in the Calcutta magazine Desh outlined the exploits of a revolutionary fighting for “national freedom” against the British Empire. The article related how, during wartime, this revolutionary traveled secretly to secure the aid of Britain's enemies in starting a rebellion in his country. His mission failed, but this “selfless patriot” gained immortality as a nationalist hero. For an Indian—and particularly a Bengali—audience, the logical protagonist of this story would be the Bengali nationalist leader Subhas Chandra Bose. Bose, the former president of the Indian National Congress, assumed the leadership of the Indian National Army with the support of the Japanese imperial government during the Second World War in the hopes of freeing India from British rule. The subject of the story, however, was not Bose, but the United Irishmen leader Theobald Wolfe Tone and his efforts in 1796 to secure assistance for an Irish rebellion from the government of Revolutionary France. The article went on to narrate how Ireland had been held in the “grip of imperialism” for an even longer period of time than India and concluded that the Irish and Indian nationalist movements were linked by a history of rebellion against British rule.As the Desh article illustrates, the popular image of the relationship between Ireland and India within the British Empire has been that of two subject peoples striving for national freedom. This linkage of Irish and Indian history has had particular resonance in Bengal.

A country's economy depends heavily on energy. Economic productivity and industrial growth depend on the use of energy in modern economies. In a modern economy, energy is responsible for more than one-tenth of the cost of production but accounts for most industrial growth, according to Barney and Franzi (2002). The economy’s need for energy has grown at about the same rate as that of wealth. It is a fact that wealth creation is predominantly calculated based on the usage of energy by society. At the beginning of the 19th century, biomass is the preferred choice of fuel. Energy demand in the west and advanced economies increased more rapidly because of rising standards during the end of the 20th century. In most production and consumption activities, energy plays a significant role in economic growth. An analysis of the energy sector components and their impacts on economic progress in two countries, the United Kingdom and India, was conducted based on an analytical approach. It is found in both countries that energy efficiency and foreign direct investment (net inflows) are positively correlated. Both the United Kingdom and India have significant correlations between energy efficiency and GDP (percentage of GDP). Employment rates and energy efficiency go hand in hand in both countries. India's GDP per capita growth (annual %) is positively correlated with energy efficiency (0.447). This study followed only the economic indicators from the World Bank Development Indicators report.

There are numerous overlapping laws in India that deal with financial loss and insolvency of both organisations and individuals. Under the current legal and institutional framework, lenders are unable to collect or restructure defaulted assets in a timely and effective manner, imposing an undue strain on the Indian credit system. The framework intended to combine a time-bound and scientific approach to insolvency resolution with the goal of maximising value for all stakeholders and balancing knowledge asymmetry, while also protecting the interests of all parties involved. In 2000, the amount of Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) grew rapidly. Banks made indiscriminate loans between 2008 and 2014, resulting in a high number of NPAs, as revealed by Asset Quality Reviews of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), causing the government to act immediately. A Committee was formed, and its report, in which the IBC was recommended, was delivered in 2015. Following that, a bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha and referred to a Parliamentary Joint Committee for examination. On May 5, 2016, the Indian Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) was approved by both Houses of Parliament and received presidential assent on May 28, 2016. Indian insolvency rules have their origins in English law. Sections 23 and 24 of the Government of India Act 1800 established the first laws governing insolvency. In 1828, India passed a statute establishing the first expressly tailored insolvency legislation. This act was extended to include the Presidency towns of Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta. A few years later, the Indian Insolvency Act 1848 was introduced, which established a division between traders and non-traders. The High Courts were given jurisdiction over insolvency, with the High Courts' jurisdiction confined to presidential towns. This statute, known as the Presidency Towns Insolvency Act 1909, was enacted in 1909. Due to the absence of legislation governing insolvency in non-presidency areas before to 1907, the Provincial Insolvency Act was enacted in 1907 and was eventually succeeded by the Provincial Insolvency Act 1920, which is in force today.

Purpose The study aims to explore the role of non-resident Indian (NRI) investors into staggering local housing market and the efforts of developers and regulators to lure such investors. Design/methodology/approach Primary data for this exploratory study were assembled through a Google form-based questionnaire circulated over internet among NRIs residing in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, USA, Singapore and United Arab Emirates, whereas the secondary data sources include the Government of India policy documents, World Bank data, Reserve Bank of India archives and reports published in reputed financial and others print media sources. Findings Indian housing market is confronted with a demand and supply mismatch at present. While a massive demand lingers at affordable housing segment, on the contrary, millions of housing inventories are also piling up. Consequently, property developers are attempting to lure the large population of NRIs residing at global cities. Study observes that sentimental attachment to the homeland, higher rate of returns, anticipated rental incomes are the major decisive elements. Additionally, growth in infrastructure, world-class amenities offered by developers, conformity to sustainability and political stability is the other critical reasons. Research limitations/implications On first hand, the study outlines a novel kind of foreign investment in Indian local residential real estate that is via NRI channel. Second, non-resident investors might surprise to the property developers and government through a realistic strategic approach. Originality/value Probably, the study is first of its type gazing at NRI investors, as a foreign investor, in the local residential real estate.

Full textAbstract:
The Covid-19 epidemic has not only affected global economic activity but also disrupted foreign investment. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development's (UNCTD) World Investment Report 2021, global FDI flows dropped from $ 1.5 million to $ 1 million (35%) in 2019, by about 20 percent less of 2009 after the global financial crisis. The impact on the developing economy was a moderate decline of 8 percent due to the smooth pace of FDI inflow into Asia. It has led to the development of the share of developing economies from just under half in 2019 to two-thirds of the global FDI. FDI inflows into India were $ 54,927 million in 2020-21 compared to $ 56,006 million in 2019-2020 according to data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The increase in FDI flows in India is driven by slow integration and acquisition work. Sectors such as Computer Services, Transport, Digital Education, Fintech, Energy and Infrastructure have attracted investment during the violence. However, India needs to gain confidence in production and needs a lot of foreign exchange. Provincial governments and central government policies aim to assist foreign investors through various incentives and compensation.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTEconomic globalization has been a key force shaping British society since the mid nineteenth-century. This article uses a case-study of Dundee and its jute industry to examine the major issues that have arisen as the effects of those global forces have been responded to. Dundee was especially prone to detrimental effects from globalization because of its character as ‘juteopolis’, a one industry town with that industry subject to powerful competitive pressures from Calcutta producers from the 1880s onwards. In the 1930s these pressures became overwhelming, as cheap jute goods from India undercut the Dundee industry's home as well as export markets, and mass unemployment ensued. The local responses to this pressure were sharply divergent. There was both a ‘United Front’ between many elements in the local labour movement, mirroring the much-contested national calls for joint Labour and Communist party efforts, and a quite different ‘front’ bringing together jute employers, jute unions, local MPs, and the city council to call for protection for the industry. It is argued that this divergence can be used to explore key issues in the nature of the forces, national as well as local, operating on industrial cities and their populations.

The policymakers around the globe have been emphasizing on financial inclusion in line with sustainable development goals 2030 of the United Nations. Developing countries are still behind in ensuring greater financial inclusion especially for women. While banks are the apex financial institutions in any country, microfinance institutions proved to be promising in advancing financial inclusion because of its better reach to women in remote areas. Thus in a country like India, the outreach and sustainability of microfinance institutions is of utmost importance. This paper aims to rank the performance of microfinance institutions listed by Reserve Bank of India on the basis of their outreach, sustainability, quality and efficiency. The ranking is done separately for five years (2014-15 to 2018-19) using Technique for Order of Preference (TOPSIS) method while overall ranking and benchmarking for five years has been done using interval valued TOPSIS (IV-TOPSIS) method. The robustness of the study has been checked through sensitivity analysis. The overall results portray Satin Creditcare Network Limited as the best performing NBFC-MFI while BWDA Finance Limited as the worst performer for the combined period of 5 years

Full textAbstract:
America is the dominant power for a long time since the World War and gave many aid for many state developments in the world with their ‘Marshall Plan’ policy. America domination clarified by the existence World Trade Organization. United States of America legitimation not only limited to WTO, there are several international economic organizations such as World Bank and International Monetary Fund where the America hold an important power. Countries that want to compete with America legitimacy establish an organization called BRICS. BRICS consist of Brazil, Russia Federation, India, China, and South Africa. BRICS created a bank called BRICS NDB or National Development bank to compete IMF domination. This research will explain the differentiation between IMF and NDB, alongside with how NDB have capability to compete IMF as an international bank that give loans to countries. This research uses descriptive comparative method, so this research will have focused on comparation between the two banks. Analysis on this research will use Structural Power Theory with Middle Power concept to explain IMF domination and how NDB that created by Middle Powered countries can replace IMF domination.

The environment we live in is very fragile and has a delicate balance. In the current era, the human kind is consuming the natural resources at a higher rate than it can produce it and is generating wastes at a higher rate than the environment can remove it. Because of anthropocentric ideology, human race believes in development through destruction. The urge for luxury and sophistication has given an impetus to industrial revolution and technological development. This has lead to exponential consumption of resources of the world. To worsen this scenario, the world has undergone huge population explosion in the 19th century. This has increased pressure on all available resources. Hence, in order to meet the current demands, people started using unsustainable technologies leading to huge pollution in all sectors. In this paper, the adverse effect of population growth in India on various factors like water pollution, emissions of CO2 and green house gases are discussed. The data for analysis are based on the statistics of United Nations Population Division, The WorldBank data bank and Central Pollution Control Board of India.

The purpose of this paper is to review the Foreign Direct Investment of United States of America in Bangladesh. To pursue the objectives, the study considers the year to year total inflows of FDI and contribution from USA compare to other countries. A time series analysis using simple regression model, Compound growth rate in sectors, investing across borders indicators developed by World Bank group and Market Potential Index conducted by the Michigan state University-International Business Center reveals that, USA average inflow is US$ 115.89 million which is 13% out of the total FDI received Bangladesh. Moreover, USA recent investments in Bangladesh are in four sectors: gas and petroleum, power and banking. As, Bangladesh performance relatively better than India, Pakistan and Srilanka in terms of investing across borders indicators, US companies and government of both nations may positively consider the findings of this study when they are going to formulate investment and trade policies. Making a scope of further studies in related field, this paper contribute to the existing knowledge of US investment opportunities in Bangladesh.

With the burgeoning financial services industry in India, service providers increasingly face the risk of their loans becoming bad and consequently leading to a charge-off loss as indicated by the accumulation of non-performing assets. Efficient back-end operations, based on a systematic analysis of customer characteristics, can ameliorate the situation. This paper describes the process of designing such an efficient back-end process developed by the author at a large retail bank in the United States. It also discusses the scope and limitations of extending the applicability of the model to the Indian financial sector and provides learnings for managers in the financial service sector on efficient design of their debt collection processes.

Full textAbstract:
Institutional voids faced by emerging economies have received a lot of attention in recent literature. However, the impact of institutional voids in an emerging economy on the level of company innovation strategies and output is a less researched topic. Using India as a case study, this paper presents a qualitative assessment of the impact of the institutional context of this emerging economy on innovation strategies and consequent outputs of private Indian companies of various sizes and ages. Primary data for the study were collected by means of surveys, in-depth interviews, and secondary data sources including government reports, World Bank and United Nations reports, research articles, and in-depth industry surveys. The paper concludes that in India, large companies and start-ups are more innovative. Most innovations are imitative in nature, and/or driven by customer requirements, and/or international quality norms. “New-to-the-world” innovations are scarce and are mostly driven by multinational corporations (MNCs), government institutions, and to some extent large Indian companies. The paper concludes that in a rapidly emerging economy like India, large companies are more innovative because of their resilience, internal systems, and capabilities that can overcome voids, and exploit opportunities. The fast-paced transitions have created more opportunities for start-ups than small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), thereby creating unequal innovation opportunities for companies of different sizes and ages, as distinct coping strategies are required for innovation to occur.

Full textAbstract:
In this piece I look at the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) as rivals of the West, united more by circumstance than by intent. It emerged as a seemingly innocuous banker’s gimmick referring to the ‘emerging market’ potential of the countries thus thrown together, but due to the aggressive Western response to independent policies, the BRICS have slowly moved towards solidifying their cohesion. Comprising half the world’s population, the bloc on the eve of the financial crisis of 2008 was closing in on the West. In Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) terms, China’s GDP was three-quarters the size of the US economy, and India no. 4 behind Japan, whilst Brazil and Russia were catching up with the main EU states (Armijo 2007: 12). The 2008 financial collapse in the West contracted China’s export markets and speculation that the BRICS were passé, was rife (Sharma, 2012: 6). However, China and India soon recovered, surpassing the US and Japan, respectively, whilst Russia and Brazil are trailing just behind Germany (World Bank 2016).This (uneven) recovery of the BRICS bloc in turn has provoked an even less benevolent response, increasingly amounting to a straightforward confrontation policy. My argument is that once the crisis forcedChina, the bloc’s locomotive, to slow down and the global commodity boom ended, a Western strategy of isolating it from the other BRICS ensued. This is most obvious in the case of the NATO siege on Russia.

In today’s era all the countries are interlinked with the web of globalization. Which means a small jerk in the foreign country leads to the great impact on the domestic country. The same incident happened in the history; better known as global crisis of United States of America. The crisis On Sept. 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. With $639 billion in assets and $619 billion in debt, Lehman's bankruptcy filing was the largest in history, as its assets far surpassed those of previous bankrupt giants such as WorldCom and Enron. Lehman was the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank at the time of its collapse, with 25,000 employees worldwide. Lehman's demise also made it the largest victim of the U.S. subprime-mortgage-induced financial crisis that swept through global financial markets in 2008. Lehman's collapse was a seminal event that greatly intensified the 2008 crisis and contributed to the erosion of close to $10 trillion in market capitalization from global equity markets in October 2008 – the biggest monthly decline on record at the time. In this paper an attempt is made to represent India being a part of globalization experienced what kind of impact on its manufacturing, agriculture and service sector.

The epidemic has led to a sharp decline in the global economy. The World Bank predicts that the global economic growth will reach 5.2% by 2020, which is the worst recession since World War II. The International Monetary Fund lowered its global growth forecast for 2020 from 1.0% to 4.9%, including 8.0% in the United States, 10.2% in the Eurozone and 4.5% in India. The economic recovery of major industrialized countries, Latin America and even Africa may take five to ten years. The US subprime mortgage crisis and European debt crisis in 2008-2009 have made many countries' economies not recover to the level of 2008 or 2013-2014 until 2018-2019. Latin American countries reflect that Latin America may face another lost decade.

International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Marketing 9, no. 1 (April 7, 2015): 56–73. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/ijphm-05-2013-0030.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the trade performance, revealed comparative advantage and trade specialisation indices of Indian pharmaceutical in the post-modified Indian Patent Act. Design/methodology/approach – The main data sources for this paper are United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, PROWESS of Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, Government of India reports and Reserve Bank of India databases. Revealed comparative advantage index (RCAI) and trade specialisation coefficient (TSC) have been calculated in the study. Findings – India is ranked third in regard of TCS, far behind Ireland and Israel. While Ireland has moved up the value chain faster after 1995, Israel has moved up swiftly after 2000 through global production network and supply chain. The Indian pharmaceutical industry, on the other hand, has largely capitalised on its low-cost production of generic drugs and a large domestic market. The RCAI also supports the results of TSC. India is positioned at 11th place, far behind Ireland, which stands tall at the top with distantly followed by Israel, Switzerland, Belgium, the UK, etc. Practical implications – The study shows the policy implications for future sustainable development of the industry as the new IPR regime has given opportunities as well as threats to both domestic pharmaceutical companies as well as the multinational corporations. The Indian pharmaceutical industry can be a good learning experience for other developing countries hopeful to enter the global market for generic drugs. Originality/value – There are no major studies providing detailed analyses of India’s comparative advantage vis-à-vis other leading exporters of pharmaceutical products in the world. This study endeavours to fill this gap. It also attempts to capture recent trends in exports and imports during the global recession period.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The present study is an attempt to analyse the New Education Policy (NEP), designed to replace the previous National Policy on Education, 1986. In both rural and urban India, the NEP could prove to be a comprehensive framework for primary/ secondary education, and additionally to vocational education. Design/Methodology/Approach: The current study is based on the qualitative analysis of various secondary data available. Findings: This study analysed and established the efficacy of the multiple exit points which now have been provided under NEP-2020, which benefit the students, by better signaling their education status and establishing their subsequent employment readiness, thereby helping India reap its demographic dividend and better utilize the yet untapped power of youth. Research limitations/implications: The principal constraint being, it attempts to analyse the implications of a newly formulated policy, which has potential, as envisioned by the policymakers, yet is dependent on various intangibles which cannot be factored in while crystal gazing into the future, especially when looking at something which will likely to bear fruit by 2030 earliest. Practical Implications: The current study would provide impetus to the policymakers, professionals to effectively implement the NEP in line with SDGs. Originality/Value: With the multidisciplinary approach to education, the study highlights the importance of a new system that the NEP2020 is trying to implement – by seeking to establish an “Academic Bank of Credit (ABC)”, which will digitally store academic credits earned from various recognized Higher Education Institutes (HEI)s.

During the British invasion of India in the sixteenth century the Dutch East India Company developed markets in many cities and towns under their control. In 1765, the company's influence had grown to such an extent that the United Kingdom had actually controlled the largest part of the country. In the beginning, English was the only subject for local community through the work of Christian missionaries, and that there was no formal order for the introduction of the language of the masses of the people. However, in the mid-seventeenth, the English language became the language of government, and many of the elite classes of the Indian people asked for instruction in the English language as a tool for social progress. In 1857, universities were opened in Mumbai (Bombay), Kolkata (Calcutta) and Chennai. English was still considered as the language of government, the social elite and the national after independence, it was assumed that the English language would have to be gradually being replaced by the sphere of the state.[i] However, it was not clear that as to which language it should be replaced. In the beginning the Hindi language was the most spoken language, this seemed like the obvious choice, but the opinions were divided for different languages. In a country with a population of over 900 million people and more than a thousand languages, it was difficult to choose a national language but the native speakers of that languages will automatically gain access to a high social status, and it was easier to get power and influence. It had been expressed that English was not the native language , there was Hindi as official language in India and the English was just like Bengali, Gujrati and urdu language. Gandhi was also in favour of Hindi language and wanted to have a special status of English language for individuals. [ii]

Full textAbstract:
The BiDil controversy in America coincides with a renewed interest in the linkages between race and therapeutics, whether in the medical history of the United States itself, or in the colonial world. During the colonial era in South Asia, many anthropological and medical researchers conducted research which compared the European and “colonial” body, contrasting everything from blood composition to brain weight between the races of the Indian Empire. This, as Mark Harrison has shown, was fundamentally a phenomenon of the 19th century, arguing that “[i]t was only after 1800 that racial identities came to be fixed and that India was viewed with terror, as a reservoir of filth and disease.” Racist attitudes in British Indian colonial medicine are not hard to discover. They underpinned, for instance, campaigns to improve the appallingly high maternal and infant mortality rates in which the blame was placed squarely upon the women and the indigenous midwives who delivered them rather than the poverty in which they lived. As such, Peers Dimmock, a professor of gynecology and obstetrics at the Calcutta Medical School, opened his address to the First Indian Medical Congress in 1894 with a diatribe against “the unclean and repulsive traditionary [sic] methods of the native midwives.”

We empirically investigate the impact of liquidity framework proposed under Basel III, namely Net Stable Funding Ratio on Net Interest Margin for 385 banks in SAARC countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) along with five developed countries i.e. Australia, Canada, China, Japan and United State over 2003-2013. The NSFR in Basel III liquidity necessity intended to limit funding risk emerging from maturity conflicts between assets and liabilities of overall countries. The results indicate that there is also a gap between developing and developed countries to managing the stability of their funding source as well as liquidity of its assets is a benefit to them and is also transformed into net interest margin by comparison of developing and developed countries. In addition, this study also proved the findings of previous researches in developed countries that are relevant to bank determinants and net interest margin in the world.

Full textAbstract:
In the fall of 1920 two young scholars happened to meet in London and found they had many interests in common in laboratory spectroscopy and astrophysics. One was an Indian and the other a Japanese, and their paths crossed as they visited American and European centers to learn the tools and techniques of the quantum theory. The young Japanese scholar, T. Takamine, whose home base was then the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Tokyo, was delighted to have met Meghnad Saha, from Calcutta, who was just putting the finishing touches on his fourth paper on ionization equilibrium in the atmospheres of the sun and stars. When they met, Takamine and Saha spoke of Sommerfeld’s theories, and pledged to keep in touch. Thus began a correspondence that lasted for some twenty years, as Takamine returned to Japan from his long visits to American and European observatories and spectroscopic laboratories, and Saha returned to India. Of the two, Takamine had stayed the longer time in the West, mainly at Mount Wilson where he was in residence through much of 1919 working with John Anderson and A. S. King, and published on the ”The Stark Effect for Metals.” Takamine also returned to Mount Wilson in 1924, and toured many spectroscopic laboratories in the United States continuing to hone his interests and technique. Elsewhere I have examined Saha’s contacts with western astrophysics. Here I examine briefly how Takamine established and maintained contacts in the West and why he did so.

Shelepov, Andrei. "The Influence of the G20’s Digitalization Leadership on Development Conditions and Governance of the Digital Economy." International Organisations Research Journal 17, no. 1 (March 15, 2022): 96–113. http://dx.doi.org/10.17323/1996-7845-2022-01-04.
Full textAbstract:
Given the increasing importance of the digital economy, competition for digital technologies and solutions, as well as the contest to influence norms, standards, and regulatory mechanisms, is escalating. This influence is distributed unevenly—digitalization leaders, primarily the key Group of 20 (G20) members, gain significant advantages, increasing their potential for shaping digital regulation through the consistent inclusion of domestic standards and norms in the documents of multilateral institutions, including the G20, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the United Nations (UN) At the same time, Russia’s impact on the most important aspects of digital economy regulation at the global and regional level is currently limited. The article presents an assessment of the influence wielded by the leading G20 members (the U.S., Canada, the UK, the European Union (EU), Japan, Korea, China and India) on the digital economy’s development and regulation. This assessment serves as the basis for recommendations on Russia’s approaches to the specific aspects of regulation (digital infrastructure development, cybersecurity, regulating digital platforms, regulating global stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), data governance, and artificial intelligence (AI) policies) at the national level, as well as its engagement in the G20 and other multilateral institutions. The analysis indicates that the leading countries affect the digital economy mainly by determining conditions for activities in their domestic digital markets and participating in shaping new global standards and rules. In the areas of digital infrastructure development, cybersecurity, and data governance, there are growing contradictions between the approaches of the U.S., the UK, Japan and partly the EU and Korea on the one hand, and Russia, China and India on the other. Recommendations in these areas are related to strengthening coordination within the BRICS group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa to develop common positions and collectively promote them in the G20 and other multilateral institutions. The main recommendations on other regulatory aspects include using the experience of digitalization leaders to minimize the risks posed by competitors and to strengthen Russian positions in the global digital economy.

Full textAbstract:
A moratorium is a temporary suspension of an activity or law until further consideration calls for a lift on the suspension, as in the case of the issues that led to the moratorium are resolved. Moratoriums may be imposed by regulators, by a business, or by the government. A moratorium is often ordered in response to situations of crisis. Moratoriums are not new to the Indian banking sector and have been granted and imposed in multiple instances in the last 20 years. Since 1999 moratoriums have been imposed on 9 banks for various reasons. Very recently, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) offered a six-month moratorium between March 1, 2020, and August 31, 2020, on all loan equated monthly instalments (EMIs) to help lessen the troubles faced by borrowers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to study the recently granted moratorium by the RBI to assess and predict its impact on the banking sector. The study will also reflect on similar instances of moratoriums that have been granted in the United States, Greece, and Thailand in the last 20 years.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last 30 years, the distressed debt market has come a long way and is now a legitimate investment asset class, albeit with periodic dramatic activity. Despite the benign credit cycle in US markets since the last great financial crisis, there are still more than 200 financial institutions in the United States, and a large number operating in other countries, such as Italy, Brazil, and India, specializing in investment in distressed and defaulted bonds and nonperforming loans. We document this novel and intriguing investment market, with a discussion of size, strategies, and performance. We also present new empirical results on pre- and postdefault experience, leveraging our unique databases on bond and loan prices and our indexes of performance of defaulted bonds and bank loans. The results show that the investment performance in distressed debt is not particularly impressive over the entire sample (1987–2016). For the last 10 years (2006–2016), however, the results are much better for overall outperformance, especially those using several strategies with respect to the seniority of the debt and market timing. This is due perhaps to favorable changes for creditors in the US bankruptcy code in 2005.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture is the main occupation in India as the large population is living in rural areas and having agriculture as their livelihood. According to the United Nations Development Programme, sustainable development in agriculture means national food security, upgrading the living standard of farmers, and conservation of the natural resources. The green revolution has called for high credit requirement for the purchase of high yielding seeds, irrigation systems, fertilizers, and chemical pesticides. Along with crop yields, the cost of production has raised drastically calling huge credit requirement. This huge credit requirement was not met by the cooperatives or commercial banks for their own limitations.The introduction of Kisan Credit Card (KCC) during the budget of 1998 has played a significant role in delivering the variable credit requirements in a flexible, easy, and timely credit The plan was launched by NABARD and Reserve Bank of India. The scheme aims to reduce farmer's dependency on informal banks for credit which is often lucrative yet very expensive. The card is offered by cooperative banks, regional rural banks, and public sector banks. Although KCC was a noble idea to help needy farmers, it has become a tool that is being misused by many, including people who are financially well off, and in this paper, we will discuss the misuse of Kisan credit card. The aim of this paper is to study the impact of Kisan credit card on agriculture development and how Kisan credit card has achieved sustainable development and what are the roadblocks still prevailing in achieving sustainable development and how the use of data analytics and artificial intelligence can help banks to provide Kisan credit card to farmers after analyzing their behavior and make sure that credit is being utilized only for agriculture development that can lead to sustainable development.

Full textAbstract:
The world is facing the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), which began in China. By August 18, 2020, the United States, Brazil, and India were the most affected countries. Health infrastructure and socioeconomic vulnerabilities may be affecting the response capacities of these countries. We compared official indicators to identify which vulnerabilities better determined the exposure risk to COVID-19 in both the most and least affected countries. To achieve this purpose, we collected indicators from the Infectious Disease Vulnerability Index (IDVI), the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, and the Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute (IBGE). All indicators were normalized to facilitate comparisons. Speed, incidence, and population were used to identify the groups of countries with the highest and lowest risks of infection. Countries’ response capacities were determined based on socioeconomic, political, and health infrastructure conditions. Vulnerabilities were identified based on the indicator sensitivity. The highest-risk group included the U.S., Brazil, and India, whereas the lowest-risk group (with the largest population by continent) consisted of China, New Zealand, and Germany. The high-sensitivity cluster had 18 indicators (50% extra IDVI), such as merchandise trade, immunization, public services, maternal mortality, life expectancy at birth, hospital beds, GINI index, adolescent fertility, governance, political stability, transparency/corruption, industry, and water supply. The greatest vulnerability of the highest-risk group was related first to economic factors (merchandise trade), followed by public health (immunization), highlighting global dependence on Chinese trade, such as protective materials, equipment, and diagnostic tests. However, domestic political factors had more indicators, beginning with high sensitivity and followed by healthcare and economic conditions, which signified a lesser capacity to guide, coordinate, and supply the population with protective measures, such as social distancing.
