Tempest, that’s what I will describe my professional life spread over 40 years. Some say being a woman is some sort of curse. No being a man is also equally difficult. All human beings will have to undergo the some kind of grind. I remember someone telling “ An elephant has it’s own problem and an ant has it’s own problem”. Just learn to laugh at yourselves! Sri Ratan Tata once told students “ Don’t take anything seriously”. I have no regrets about anything nor have animosity towards anyone. This book is a honest introspection of my experiences with Indian, multinational and family-managed businesses. The intention is to help all readers to prepare themselves to become leaders in the manufacturing industry. I learned a lot from these experiences and continue to learn. Someone had once told me when one door closes, another door opens. How right! I am thankful to all my Gurus of all age groups who guided me throughout the tempest.

The present work has been undertaken not only to provide an adequate treatment of the position of the sudras in ancient times, but also to evaluate their modern characterizations, either based on insufficient data, or inspired by reformist or anti-reformist motives. Here an attempt has been made to present a connected and systematic account of the various developments in the position of the sudras down to circa A.D. 600. Since the sudras were regarded as the laboring class, in this study particular attention has been paid to the investigation of their material conditions has been paid to their economic and social relations with the members of the higher varnas. This has naturally involved the study of the position of slaves, with whom the sudras were considered identical. The untouchables are also theoretically placed in the category of sudras, and hence their origin and position has also been discussed in some detail.

Terrorism has been a very major phenomenon disturbing the peace of the planet today. While acts of terror have been recorded in recent history from last several centuries, this phenomenon has come to prominence from the ghastly tragedy of 9/11 2001. With this the American media popularized the word Islamic terrorism, and worldwide this propaganda against Islam and Muslims picked up. Al Qaeda, a product of US policies to control of oil wealth in West Asia, has been the major tormentor of people and its worst victims have been people of India and Pakistan.
