Functional Instability or Paradigm Shift?

A Characteristic Study of Indian Stock Market in the First Decade of the New Millennium

By: Amitava Sarkar

The study investigates the working of the Indian stock market in recent years and attempts to look for functional instability, if any, embedded in the stock market. Specifically, it explores to discern whether there been any significant change in recent years in Indian stock market and the nature and characteristics of such changes, if any. It chooses the nine year period from 1999 to 2008. Over this period, stock market witnessed some major price changes: one in late 1999 that ended in mid 2001, another that commenced from mid 2004 and a recent one that in effect commenced from early 2008. There is significant volatility in the market with presence of risk premium;there is asymmetric impact. The market responds more to the negative shocks. The global stock market is having its influence on Indian stock market. The impact of developed country effect, particularly, that of US stock market has been the most prominent. There is some evidence for regional contagion. When we look at the domestic sectors, we see that the traditional sectors, -Capital Goods and Consumer Durables,are the two most predominant sectors. Other sectors, particularly the IT sector, have only a mild, almost insignificant impact on market volatility and transmits very little of its volatility to other sectors.

Intelligent Control

A Stochastic Optimization Based Adaptive Fuzzy Approach

By: Kaushik Das Sharma,Amitava Chatterjee,Anjan Rakshit

This book discusses systematic designs of stable adaptive fuzzy logic controllers employing hybridizations of Lyapunov strategy-based approaches/H∞ theory-based approaches and contemporary stochastic optimization techniques. The text demonstrates how candidate stochastic optimization techniques like Particle swarm optimization (PSO), harmony search (HS) algorithms, covariance matrix adaptation (CMA) etc. can be utilized in conjunction with the Lyapunov theory/H∞ theory to develop such hybrid control strategies. The goal of developing a series of such hybridization processes is to combine the strengths of both Lyapunov theory/H∞ theory-based local search methods and stochastic optimization-based global search methods, so as to attain superior control algorithms that can simultaneously achieve desired asymptotic performance and provide improved transient responses. The book also demonstrates how these intelligent adaptive control algorithms can be effectively utilized in real-life applications such as in temperature control for air heater systems with transportation delay, vision-based navigation of mobile robots, intelligent control of robot manipulators etc.

Selected Novels of Sarat Chandra Chatterjee

Devdas Good Riddance Pundit Chandranath Debt and Payment

By: Amitava Bhattacharya

This book presents unabridged translation of five of the many captivating novels of the legendary writer Sarat Chandra Chatterjee of India, who wrote in Bengali language in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Devdas: The young boy Devdas has an ardent follower, a little girl Parvati, who is his neighbors daughter. They grow up together in a class conscious, tradition bound, rural community. Their friendship turns into love as they mature. Will they be able to have their wish fulfilled and unite with each other for the rest of their lives? Which way their fate will take them? Good Riddance (Niskriti): Girish is a successful man and both he and his wife are magnanimous. They allow Girishs incompetent and poor cousin and his family to live with them as a joint family. An atmosphere of great love and understanding prevails over the joint family. But, what happens when Girishs younger brother Harish, who is also a successful man and has a wife with western education, joins the family? What events take place and what are the roles played by different family members? Pundit (Pundit-moshai): Brindabon was married at a young age, but was soon made by his father to desert his child bride, because of a rumor of scandal about her mother. He grows up to become a self educated and benevolent well to do man, and she grows up to be a beautiful and educated woman in a poor family. After his second wife dies leaving behind a young son, he offers to take her back. But, how she responds? Brindabon gives free education to children of the poor in the village, by teaching them himself, and is called by them as Pundit. But, does that earn him respect from the diehard snobs in the village or their compassion in his moment of crisis? Chandranath: A rich man marries a poor young woman, not knowing that her mother had a scandal of living together with a man after she became a widow. The girl, because of her humble background and the scandalous secret about her mother, considers herself much inferior to her husband and treats him with servility. How are the husbands feelings towards her? How the marriage blossoms? A kindly old man comes in their life, and what role he plays? Debt and Payment (Dena-Paona): Jibananda, a corrupt scion of a landlord family, marries the child daughter of a widow for dowry money and then disappears. He later inherits a large estate when his uncle dies and becomes an oppressive feudal landlord. The girl by turn of events becomes the custodian of a temple in a village, where the landlord owns some property. She is upright, educated, and a leader of the downtrodden. The landlord visits the village, but does not recognize her. The virtuous woman and the depraved man cross their path, and what does it bring to them?

Passport Photos

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Passport Photos

By: Amitava Kumar

Passport Photos, a self-conscious act of artistic and intellectual forgery, is a report on the immigrant condition. A multigenre book combining theory, poetry, cultural criticism, and photography, it explores the complexities of the immigration experience, intervening in the impersonal language of the state. Passport Photos joins books by writers like Edward Said and Trinh T. Minh-ha in the search for a new poetics and politics of diaspora. Organized as a passport, Passport Photos is a unique work, taking as its object of analysis and engagement the lived experience of post-coloniality--especially in the United States and India. The book is a collage, moving back and forth between places, historical moments, voices, and levels of analysis. Seeking to link cultural, political, and aesthetic critiques, it weaves together issues as diverse as Indian fiction written in English, signs put up by the border patrol at the U.S.-Tijuana border, ethnic restaurants in New York City, the history of Indian indenture in Trinidad, Native Americans at the Superbowl, and much more. The borders this book crosses again and again are those where critical theory meets popular journalism, and where political poetry encounters the work of documentary photography. The argument for such border crossings lies in the reality of people's lives. This thought-provoking book explores that reality, as it brings postcolonial theory to a personal level and investigates global influences on local lives of immigrants.

Cancer Genetics and Therapeutics

Focus on Phytochemicals

By: Madhumita Roy,Amitava Datta

The book discusses cancer and the potential use of phytochemicals as cancer therapeutics. It begins with the basics of cancer, including the definition, types, etiology and molecular mechanisms involved, before discussing the fundamentals of diagnosis, treatment and associated problems as well as remedial measures. Since cancer is not a single disease, and the mechanisms of carcinogenesis are different for different cancers, it examines the genes and proteins involved in carcinogenesis, and signal transduction pathways for each individual cancer type. Further, the book reviews the latest research on phytochemicals for cancer treatment, highlighting their anti-cancer properties, sources, structure, active biomolecules and probable mechanisms of action, and describing their biochemical properties in the context of cancer prevention and treatment.

Growth, Distribution and Uneven Development

By: Amitava Krishna Dutt

This book presents an international study of economic growth and income distribution, with a focus on North-South differences. The text discusses the topic from a purely theoretical perspective, comparing the relations between economies by using formal mathematical models. Four well-known approaches are discussed: neoclassical, neo-Marxian, neo-Keynesian and Kalecki-Steindl. Models are developed to highlight and contrast the basic features of these approaches. Subsequent chapters systematically introduce inflation, technological change, sectoral issues, and international trade, building upon these simple one-sector models. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in areas such as developmental economics, growth, trade and political economy.

My Beloved Life

A novel

By: Amitava Kumar

An exceptionally moving novel that traces the arc of a man's life, starting from his 1935 birth in a small village in India. Jadunath Kunwar's beginnings are humble, even inauspicious. His mother, while pregnant, nearly dies from a cobra bite. And this is only the first of many challenges in store for Jadu. As his life skates between the mythical and the mundane, Jadu finds meaning in the most unexpected places. He meets the sherpa who first summited Everest. He befriends poets and politicians. He becomes a historian. And he has a daughter, Jugnu, a television journalist with a career in the United States—whose perspective sheds new light on Jadu. All the while, currents of huge change sweep across India—from Independence to Partition, Gandhi to Modi, the Mahabharata to Somerset Maugham, cholera to covid—and buffet both Jadu and Jugnu’s lives. Piercing, fleet-footed, and undeniably resonant, here is a novel from a singularly gifted writer about how we tell stories and write history, how individuals play a counterpoint to big movements, how no single life is without consequence.

Vision Based Autonomous Robot Navigation

Algorithms and Implementations

By: Amitava Chatterjee,Anjan Rakshit,N. Nirmal Singh

This monograph is devoted to the theory and development of autonomous navigation of mobile robots using computer vision based sensing mechanism. The conventional robot navigation systems, utilizing traditional sensors like ultrasonic, IR, GPS, laser sensors etc., suffer several drawbacks related to either the physical limitations of the sensor or incur high cost. Vision sensing has emerged as a popular alternative where cameras can be used to reduce the overall cost, maintaining high degree of intelligence, flexibility and robustness. This book includes a detailed description of several new approaches for real life vision based autonomous navigation algorithms and SLAM. It presents the concept of how subgoal based goal-driven navigation can be carried out using vision sensing. The development concept of vision based robots for path/line tracking using fuzzy logic is presented, as well as how a low-cost robot can be indigenously developed in the laboratory with microcontroller based sensor systems. The book describes successful implementation of integration of low-cost, external peripherals, with off-the-shelf procured robots. An important highlight of the book is that it presents a detailed, step-by-step sample demonstration of how vision-based navigation modules can be actually implemented in real life, under 32-bit Windows environment. The book also discusses the concept of implementing vision based SLAM employing a two camera based system.

In The Summer Of 1999, While The Kargil War Was Being Fought, Amitava Kumar Married A Pakistani Muslim. That Event Led To A Process Of Discovery That Made Kumar Examine The Relationship Not Only Between India And Pakistan But Also Between Hindus And Muslims Inside India. The Result Is This Fiercely Personal Essay On The Idea Of The Enemy. Written With Complete Honesty And With No Claims To Journalistic Detachment, This Book Chronicles The Complicity That Binds The Writer To The Rioter. Unlike Both The Fundamentalists And The Secularists, Kumar Finds Or Makes Utterly Human Those Whom He Opposes. More Than A Travelogue Which Takes The Reader To Wagah, Patna, Bhagalpur, Karachi, Kashmir, And Even Johannesburg, This Book, Then, Becomes A Portrait Of The People The Author Meets In These Places, People Dealing With The Consequences Of The Politics Of Faith. With A Writer'S Eye For Detail, Kumar Has Drawn A Map Of Violence. Informed More By A Traveller'S Sense Of Observation Than A Safe, Academic Moralism, Husband Of A Fanatic Refuses To Monumentalize Suffering Instead, It Presents Tragedy As Ordinary, And Hence, More Difficult To Accept Easily. In A Village Beside The Ganges Near Bhagalpur, In A Psychiatric Ward In Srinagar, In A Classroom In Ahmedabad ... Everywhere That The Author Goes, The Reader Is Compelled To Accompany Him On A Journey To The Heart Of Hatred.

The New Emerging Market Multinationals: Four Strategies for Disrupting Markets and Building Brands

By: Amitava Chattopadhyay,Rajeev Batra,Aysegul Ozsomer

Praise for THE NEW EMERGING-MARKET MULTINATIONALS One of Strategy and Business’s Best Business Books of the Year "This book is a real eye-opener. It will forever change your assumptions about international economic competition and who the winners will be." —PHILIP KOTLER Kellogg School of Management and author of Winning at Innovation "An insightful read—essential for those wishing to understand the evolution and growth of emerging-economy EMNCs and how they will reshape global market structures." —ANAND MAHINDRA, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Mahindra Group, India "As this timely book so insightfully points out, the rise of emerging-market multinationals is shifting the global competitive landscape and forcing us to think hard about new growth, strategy, and talent equations. A must-read for business leaders responsible for navigating today's global environment. —MUHTAR KENT, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Coca-Cola Company "This book offers an array of fascinating examples and an interesting framework for stimulating thinking about EMNCs' strategic options." —PANKAJ GHEMAWAT, IESE Business School, and author of World 3.0 "A must-read. The book is well researched and provides compelling case illustrations. I highly recommend it." —W. CHAN KIM, Professor, INSEAD; Codirector, INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute; and bestselling author of Blue Ocean Strategy "This is the future of global competition. You need to understand it if you aspire to be a player or if global markets are now a part of your strategy." —DAVID A. AAKER, Vice Chairman, Prophet, and bestselling author of Brand Relevance "This book gives a clear idea of the success formula of emerging-market multinationals by showing practical insights based on a deep understanding of EMNCs. This will help readers from any type of company structure their own growth strategies." —WONHONG CHO, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Hyundai Motor Company "An excellent collection of ideas and examples that should inspire companies in emerging markets looking to build brands and markets anywhere." —BUSINESSWORLD About the Book: LG. HTC. Tata. Haier. Lenovo. Arcelik. Natura. From smartphones and computers to blue jeans and beer, companies from China, India, Taiwan, Mexico, Turkey, and other emerging markets are now winning leading market shares with their own-branded, high-quality products—rather than with poorly produced products sold under others' brand names. These emerging-market multinational companies (EMNCs) are giving the incumbent market leaders of North America, Western Europe, and Japan a run for their money in the areas of innovation, branding, and marketing. How have these small, under-resourced businesses come so far so quickly? And what can you learn from their strategies and tactics? Renowned experts in global branding and marketing, the authors of The New Emerging-Market Multinationals conducted an in-depth study of 39 EMNCs to reveal the innovative compete-from-below strategies and tactics fueling these companies' meteoric rise. The authors identify four strategies driving this growth: COST LEADERS leverage existing low-cost structures and large-scale volumes to extend their reach into developed markets. KNOWLEDGE LEVERAGERS tap their existing resources and knowledge of home consumers and the market to build branded businesses in other emerging markets. NICHE CUSTOMIZERS combine their cost advantages in manufacturing with newly developed low-cost R&D capabilities to develop customized niche-segment branded offerings in other emerging markets. GLOBAL BRAND BUILDERS use their low-cost manufacturing and R&D capabilities to build branded businesses in developed markets— but limit their focus to specific products and segments through a process of focused innovation. Whether you run an EMNC or a developedmarket company, deep knowledge of the strategies outlined here is an absolute necessity for competing effectively now and in the future. Don't get caught off guard by the "new kids on the block"—because today's EMNCs are determined to be tomorrow's market leaders.
