The Development Ushers In Series Of Changes In The Social System. The Changes Are Both Radical And Long Lasting. However, It Remains An Issue Before Any Intellectual Discourse Whether Everything Undergoes Change Or We Are Just Fond Of Using The Expression ?Radical Change?. In The Backdrop Of This Intellectual Curiosity, The Present Work Tries To Examine The Degree Of Change Occurred As A Result Of The Development In A Micro-Cosm Of The Punjab Society, I.E., The Occupation Of Smithy. During The Last Two Decades, Punjab Has Achieved Tremendous Development. Not Agricultural Growth. The Green Revolution Has Also Led To The Emergence Of Agro-Based Industries, Market Economy And Well Developed Transportation System. One Occupation Which Was Inseparably Linked With Agriculture, Besides, Its Other Crucial Importance In War, Was Smithy. Farmer Or Peasant And The Smith Like The Warrior And The Sword (Smith) Were Almost Coterminus. In Such An Environment Of Agricultural Development Along With Its Concomitant Changes It Becomes; Important To See What Has Happened To The Smith. The Author Has Tried To Find The Answer With The Help Of The Empirical Data. It Has Necessarily Transform Everything. Acknowledging That Many Things May Left For Future Investigation, This Work Authoritatively Establishing And Puts Forward That The Impact Of Development Is Janus-Headed, I.E., Both Change And Continuity Characterise A Developing Society. The Work Opens New Areas Of Investigation Through The Examination Of One Traditional Occupation Which Should Have Undergone Radical Change By Questioning That The Very Issue Of The Direction Of Change.
This look at economic development in India focuses on interactions between the central state and regional elites. India is widely regarded as a "failed" developmental state, seemingly the exception that belies the prediction of a triumphant Asian century.
This thoughtful and challenging book affords an alternative vision of India's rise in the world.
As India enters its seventy-fifth year of independence, conventional policy is unlikely to combat the breadth of its economic challenges. Across a range of areas-human capital, technology, agriculture, finance, trade, public service delivery and more-new ideas must now be on the table. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only cost India many lives and livelihoods, it has also exposed major structural weaknesses in the economy. A huge farm and jobs crisis, rising and massive inequalities, tepid investment growth, and chronic banking sector challenges have plagued the economy, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has also exposed the limitations of the Indian state, which tries to control too much-and ends up stifling the economy and the inherent energies of its young population. Climate change is no longer a distant threat, while disruptive technology has huge implications for India's demographic dividend. In addition, the dangerous lurch towards majoritarianism will cast its shadow on India's pursuit of prosperity for all. Unshackling India examines the question: Can India use the next twenty-five years, when it will reach the hundredth year of independence, to restructure not only its economy but rejuvenate its democratic energy and unshackle its potential-to become a genuinely developed economy by 2047? The book argues that India can foster a prosperous and inclusive economy if it sets its mind to it, acknowledges the hard truths, and lays out the clear choices and new ideas India must adopt towards that end.
This Book, Co-Published With Cambridge University Press, Breaks New Ground In The Field Of Industrial Anthroplogy. The Focus Of The Book Is On The Uneasy Relationship Between The Permanent (Organised Sector) Industrial Workers, Who Have The Protection Of The Factory Act And The Trade Unions, And The Temporary (Unorganised) Workers. The Author Questions Whether India Has A Dual Economy And Society In Which These Two Groups Of Workers Act As Distinct Classes With Opposed Interests. Dr Holmstrom Uses A Wide Range Of Material, From The Opinions And Life Stories Of Workers To Accounts Of Recent Union Movements In The `Unorganised Sector`, And Contributes Critically To The Debate On `Dualism` And Its Underlying Assumptions.
"The researcher as research instrument is a major feature of socio-anthropological fieldwork. The gathering of data, their analysis, and evaluation are highly sensitive to the personality, perception and theories of the fieldworker. It causes divergent representations and valuations of the same processes and phenomena by different researchers, or different interpretations of the same subject by the same fieldworker over the years." "After a brief review of the debates on the meaning, use, and origin of anthropological knowledge, Hein Streefkerk discusses this theme by focussing on his fieldwork among industrial entrepreneurs in south Gujarat, India, between 1971 and 1991. The topics are the manipulation of informants and the improvised nature of conducting fieldwork. The essay is concluded by a detailed account of the reasons why he had to change in 1991 his earlier opinion on industrial entrepreneurship in Bulsar."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
