Описание: 'Tribe' is one of the oldest words in Western languages. It has now globalized. Discourses in and on Asia frequently employ the label 'tribe' as a loan-word or in an Asian-language equivalent. This may be positive, used to market crafts and fabrics; it may be neutral, used in legal and administrative practice and in conflict zones, or it may be a pragmatic descriptor of a social organization and military capacity. The name has persisted through fifty years of academic denunciation of its emptiness. This book analyzes how the word 'tribe' has morphed and spread through the centuries. It goes behind the label to bring out the social, military and environmental settings that gave it its various meanings. Sumit Guha thus offers non-specialist readers an overview of 17 million sq. miles through two thousand years to the present.

Описание:
The perception, valuation, and manipulation of human environments all have their own layered histories. So Sumit Guha argues in this sweeping examination of a pivotal five hundred years when successive empires struggled to harness lands and peoples to their agendas across Asia. Ecologies of Empire in South Asia, 1400–1900 compares the practices of the Mughal and British Empires to demonstrate how their fluctuating capacity for domination was imbricated in the formation of environmental knowledge itself.
The establishment of imperial control transforms local knowledge of the world into the aggregated information that reproduces centralized power over it. That is the political ecology that reshapes entire biomes. Animals and plants are translocated; human communities are displaced or destroyed. Some species proliferate; others disappear. But these state projects are overlaid upon the many local and regional geographies made by sacred cosmologies and local sites, pilgrimage routes and river fords, hot springs and fluctuating aquifers, hunting ranges and nesting grounds, notable trees and striking rocks.
Guha uncovers these ecological histories by scrutinizing little-used archival sources. His historically based political ecology demonstrates how the biomes of a vast subcontinent were changed by struggles to make and to resist empire.

Описание:
With the nuclearization of the Indian subcontinent, Indo-Pakistani crisis behavior has acquired a deadly significance. The past two decades have witnessed no fewer than six crises against the backdrop of a vigorous nuclear arms race. Except for the Kargil war of 1998-9, all these events were resolved peacefully.
Nuclear war was avoided despite bitter mistrust, everyday tensions, an intractable political conflict over Kashmir, three wars, and the steady refinement of each side's nuclear capabilities. Sumit Ganguly and Devin T. Hagerty carefully analyze each crisis, reviewing the Indian and Pakistani domestic political systems and key decisions during the relevant period.
This lucid and comprehensive study of the two nations' crisis behavior in the nuclear age is the first work on Indo-Pakistani relations to take systematic account of the role played by the United States in South Asia's security dynamics over the past two decades in the context of unipolarization, and formulates a blueprint for American policy toward a more positive and productive India-Pakistan relationship.

Описание:
In this far-ranging and erudite exploration of the South Asian past, Sumit Guha discusses the shaping of social and historical memory in world-historical context. He presents memory as the result of both remembering and forgetting and of the preservation, recovery, and decay of records. By describing how these processes work through sociopolitical organizations, Guha delineates the historiographic legacy acquired by the British in colonial India; the creation of the centralized educational system and mass production of textbooks that led to unification of historical discourses under colonial auspices; and the divergence of these discourses in the twentieth century under the impact of nationalism and decolonization.
Guha brings together sources from a range of languages and regions to provide the first intellectual history of the ways in which socially recognized historical memory has been made across the subcontinent. This thoughtful study contributes to debates beyond the field of history that complicate the understanding of objectivity and documentation in a seemingly post-truth world.

Описание: The role of the manufacturing sector in the overall development of an economy can never be undermined. In an emerging economy like India, the role of the manufacturing sector is even more critical. As a source of employment, hub of technological progress, and an accelerator of output growth in other sectors, it is paramount that the manufacturing firms are resilient to cope with the challenges posed by the dynamic business environment of today.
This book explores the role of microeconomic and macroeconomic factors in determining the level of efficiency, profitability and the stock market performance of the firms in the Indian manufacturing sector. Focusing specifically on the post-reform era, the authors take stock of the inherent distinctive characteristics of the different sectors across the manufacturing industry, which are understandably different. Emphasizing the changing scenario of the manufacturing sector under different policy regimes, and providing access to critical information, this book equips readers to understand how prudent, and informed, managerial decisions are made. It is a go-to reference book in comprehending the real issues of the manufacturing sector in the changing Indian environment, and a useful resource for students and researchers of commerce, management, economics, and the wider field of business studies.
