India Towards 100: a Call for Reset?

Need a Missionary Zeal! a Collection of Thoughts on the Arts and Crafts of Nation Building

By: Partha S. Ghosh

“India Towards 100: A Call for Reset? Require a Missionary Zeal”, beyond examining the challenges that India faces and proposing several “breakthrough moves” the nation must undertake, reflects at a fundamental level upon several critical issues our civilization must address; and in turn offers a few path-finding guidelines that in unison could influence a more enlightened global economic dynamic. It is our hope this book will guide current and future leaders of nations both in developed and developing environments to reset the dynamics of socio-economic progress. The author argues that the new dynamics for the advancement of civilization should be based on: (i) the fusion of ancient philosophies, underscoring the importance of enriching the planet’s natural and human (with the divine conscience at work within) capital that must transcend conventional debates on the location of the power of resource allocation (market versus government) towards debates that focus on how best to orchestrate the forces of self-expression and self-determination of communities in harmony with nature, (ii) reimagining the discipline of economics as more “biological and relational,” as opposed to mechanistic and transactional, such that policymakers consider shifting their attention from ‘financial engineering’ towards ‘human or social engineering,’ (iii) a strategic approach that nations must embrace by consciously instilling a “central economic nervous system” that dynamically links the vision of a nation with strategic priorities and grassroots programs that are inclusive and globally competitive, and (iv) the enhanced “fluidity of global IQ” across borders, such that it complements the “liquidity of capital” through the strategic application of Artificial Intelligence/5G — not by making humans redundant, but by making them more empowered so that society as a whole is more productive and enlightened, enabling an active network among “economic cells” or what the author calls “cellularism” – beyond capitalism and socialism Accordingly, the book envisions an alternative socioeconomic model that India should consider developing. It celebrates the fundamental principles of Vedic philosophy, enables a village- centric cellular economic dynamic and adopts a strategic approach in developing a globally competitive economy. The book envisions that the nation in the next 25 years to build a socioeconomic dynamic by its 100th anniversary of its independence, which is programed to pave a road that India could take in the second half of the 21st century, similar to the experience of Japan in the second half of the 20th century.

The Politics of Personal Law in South Asia

Identity, Nationalism and the Uniform Civil Code

By: Partha S. Ghosh

The viability of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has always been a bone of contention in socially and politically plural South Asia. It is entangled within the polemics of identity politics, minority rights, women’s rights, national integration, uniform citizenry and, of late, global Islamic politics and universal human rights. While champions of each category view the issue from their own perspectives, making the debate extremely complex, this book takes up the challenge of providing a holistic political analysis. As most of the South Asian states today subscribe to a decentralised view and share a common history, this study is an excellent comparative analysis of the applicability of the UCC. In this work, India figures prominently, being the most plural and vibrant democracy, as well as accounting for almost three-fourths of the region’s population. This provides the backdrop for an analysis of the other states in the region. This second edition will be indispensable for scholars, researchers and students of law, political science and South Asian Studies.

India-South Asia Interface

Religion, Politics and the Wider World

By: Partha S. Ghosh

India-South Asia Interface raises the fundamental question: How does one make sense of South Asia? Conventional wisdom defines it primarily in terms of regional and international politics. The failures of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) are emblematic of that wisdom. Marking a departure from such approaches, Partha Ghosh makes the case that more than merely a political construct South Asia must be understood as a shared social consciousness. Through chapters that explore topics such as threats to democracy, religion and politics, the place of Kashmir, different conceptions of regionalism, the roles of America and China, and the issue of refugees and migrants, he demonstrates that there is no escape from reinventing the region from a people’s perspective. Only this way can South Asia retrieve its soul and replace its cynicism and despair with expectation and hope. Based primarily on Ghosh’s research articles and newspaper columns written over the last five years, the volume can be viewed as an intimate statement of his understanding of the region; an understanding that has matured through decades-long interactions with the region’s academics, politicians, and the so-called ‘man on the street’. In some sense, the volume is also a semi-autobiographical treatise, which spells out Ghosh’s systematic evolution as a confirmed South Asianist. The region’s destiny ought to be wrested, he therefore argues, from the hands of its political leaders and returned to the common men and women of the region. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

The Politics of Personal Law in South Asia

Identity, Nationalism and the Uniform Civil Code

By: Partha Sarathy Ghosh

It is a political study of the controversy surrounding the issue of the uniform civil code vis-à-vis personal laws from a South Asian perspective. At the centre of the debate is whether there should be a centralized view of the legal system in a given society or a decentralized view, both horizontally and vertically. This issue is entangled within the threads of identity politics, minority rights, women's rights, national integration, global Islamic politics and universal human rights. Champions of each category view it through their own prisms, making the debate extremely complex, especially in politically and socially plural South Asia. So, this book attempts to harmonize the threads of the debate to provide a holistic political analysis.

The Triumph of Modernism

India's Artists and the Avant-garde, 1922-47

By: Partha Mitter

The tumultuous last decades of British colonialism in India were catalyzed by more than the work of Mahatma Gandhi and violent conflicts. The concurrent upheavals in Western art driven by the advent of modernism provided Indian artists in post-1920 India a powerful tool of colonial resistance. Distinguished art historian Partha Mitter now explores in this brilliantly illustrated study this lesser known facet of Indian art and history. Taking the 1922 Bauhaus exhibition in Calcutta as the debut of European modernism in India, The Triumph of Modernism probes the intricate interplay of Western modernism and Indian nationalism in the evolution of colonial-era Indian art. Mitter casts his gaze across a myriad of issues, including the emergence of a feminine voice in Indian art, the decline of “oriental art,” and the rise of naturalism and modernism in the 1920s. Nationalist politics also played a large role, from the struggle of artists in reconciling Indian nationalism with imperial patronage of the arts to the relationship between primitivism and modernism in Indian art. An engagingly written study anchored by 150 lush reproductions, The Triumph of Modernism will be essential reading for scholars of art, British studies, and Indian history.

Commercial Banks and Monetary Policy in India

By: Partha Ray

Set against a backdrop of financial-sector reforms in India, this analysis explores theories and empirical evidence regarding the behavior of commercial banks and their reactions to centralized monetary policy. A comprehensive account of the credit channels of monetary transmission is presented along with observations of the modified IS-LM model within the independent banking sector. Progressive issues such as future consolidation of the banking sector are also addressed. Ultimately, not all commercial banks react uniformly to monetary policy, as ownership, size, liquidity, and capitalization play key roles in determining individual responses.
