This book tells an interesting story-of development as seen from the lens of mobility. The grand dynamics of the accumulation of capital have shaped global inequality-this needs to be corrected. Central to this effort will be freer economic migration. Transnational economic migration will be the next frontier of globalization. There is, thus, an urgent need to move to a rule-based, binding set of principles that would require states to willingly cede some degree oftheir sovereignty on matters of economic migration to a multilateral process.

South Asian countries in spite of having diverse histories and politics share a uniformity in terms of constitutionalism. This pioneering volume maps out the intellectual and historical contours of this little-studied field, yet one that is critical to South Asias future.

Volume 1: This volume provides a comprehensive treatment of the Indian industrialization process since independence covering all the important aspects: trends and patterns, regionalization, employment, informal sector, corporate savings, tax and surplus, concentration, foreign direct investment, and development of indigenous technology and patents. Volume 2: The Indian economy has successfully integrated itself with the rest of the world in the past two decades. Not only has its external-trade (share in global-trade) grown considerably, but it has also received significantly higher FDI and FII inflows. As a result, India is considered among the foremost beneficiaries of globalization. However, this development is only one side of the story and it has been achieved at a cost of policy independence and increased sensitivityto external shocks. This volume illustrates such costs and attempts to redefine the priorities for a low per-capita income nation like India. Volume 3: This volume is largely a critical review of macroeconomic issues such as monetary policy, fiscal policy, financial liberalization, inter-sectoral linkages, open economy macroeconomics, labour conditions, and inter-governmental fiscal transfers.

Drawn from a multiplicity of sources ¿ memoirs, commentaries, original manuscripts and family letters, it illustrates thelives of two British men who worked in the Indian Civil and Political Services, replete with descriptions of the social and cultural life as well as political particulars of the time. Sir Robert Hamilton during the rebellion of 1857, and Sir William Barton in the first part of the twentieth centuryas the movement for independence gained momentum. Their careers are set alongside the crucial events of their times, forming a lively and readable account of a world that no longer exists, a world now accessible only through fading photographs and yellowing pages.

However, the arena of policymaking is characterized by conflict and contestation resolved through processes of negotiations and compromises.

Pauperism and pauperization are two of the most persistent and widespread phenomena in India. While a fierce debate rages on the line separating the poor from the non-poor, there is scant discussion on the huge mass of paupersnot less than one-fifth of the countrys populationliving in destitution. Rural and urban case studies conducted in the state of Gujarat highlight the ordeal of these paupersthe non-labouring poor unable to take care of themselves, the migrantlabour driven away from the village and back for lack of work, and an urban underclass redundant to demand, often experienced by the better-off as a nuisance. A comparative study of the politics and policies in present-day India in relation to the condition of the ultra-poor in Victorian England reveals a disturbing common factora deeply ingrained mindset of social inequality resembling the spirit of nineteenth-century social Darwinism. That ideology of discrimination and exclusion is back with a vengeance the world all over and not least in India. This book examines poverty and inequality through a sociologicalanthropological lens that goes beyondthe quantitative and unravels the fuzzy landscape of the informal economy. It fills a conspicuous gap in the literature on casual labourthat on the floating and footloose transient labour.

Based on new translations of Pali texts and rare sources, Lives of Early Buddhist Nuns analyses the portrayal of women in the Pali canon and commentaries. Focusing on the differences between canonical and commentarial literature, the author goes beyond the practice of using the commentaries to merely enhance the understanding of the Pali canon; she emphasizes the differing social and historical milieus out of which these genres of literature were born. Assessing eachgenre on its own terms, the work demonstrates that the Pali canon, contrary to how it has been presented previously, is more favourable to women. The first part of the volume contains biographies of the six best-known Buddhist nuns who were considered to have been direct disciples of the Buddha. These biographies throw light on gender relations as they evolved in the early centuries of Buddhism in India. The life stories also serve as the foundation for discussion of Buddhist women in the second part. From notions of beauty and adornment to family, class, and marriage, various themes in the biographies are explored in this work, andthrough this exploration the changing form of Buddhism in early India is captured.

Violence is usually located outside the democratic domain, implying thereby that its recurrence marks less of-and ironically at the same time - a direct threat to democracy. This book contests and demystifies the celebrationist understanding of democracy and argues that violence is embedded in democracy as much as democracy is embedded in violence. Their mutually embedded nature has only helped make democracy violent and violence democratic.
