Download or read book Indian Americans Part I written by Pradeep Thakur and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anand G. Mahindra, one of the most successful business men of India Inc., recently added another feather to his cap--Satyam Computer Services Ltd, which was counted as the fourth largest Information Technology (IT) services firm of India until the revelation of a financial fraud by its founder chairman. It was a risk that even the top three Indian IT companies of India avoided, but Anand Mahindra went ahead with the calculated risk of bidding for Satyam that turned out to be--historical and game changer-- in his own words. Venturbay Consultants Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Tech Mahindra Ltd., India's sixth largest software exporter outbid the diversified conglomerate Larsen & Toubro Ltd, U.S. based Cognizant Technology Solutions and American investor Wilbur Ross to acquire a controlling stake in Satyam Computer. Anand Mahindra was among those business heads at the helm of family owned businesses who acknowledged that ownership should be separate from management. The professionalism has paid off well and his flagship firm Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, one of India's leading automotive manufacturers known for its tractors, has carved out a niche space in the passenger vehicles space also with successful sports utility vehicle (SUV) models such as Scorpio and Xylo. The Scorpio, developed from scratch for just $120 million, became a case study at the Harvard Business School. Another group company Mahindra Holidays and Resorts has just ended a four-month long drought at India's initial public offering (IPO) market. When Anand Mahindra joined the family business in early 1980s, he had to struggle to change the work culture at the grass root level. Then he focused on diversifying the business and the Group has now significant presence in sectors such as automobiles, financial services, trade and logistics, hospitality, automotive components, information technology and infrastructure development. Mahindra, India's top multi-utility vehicle maker and the world's fourth-largest tractor maker, has about 30% of the Indian tractor's market share, the world's largest by volume. Mahindra also has strong presence in urban and foreign markets like Russia, Brazil, Columbia and Africa. Mahindra was a co-founder of Kotak Mahindra Finance Ltd., which in 2003 was converted into a bank.

Download or read book Rethinking Displacement Asia Pacific Perspectives written by Kuntala Lahiri-Dutt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book responds to the need to explore the multitude of interconnected factors causing displacements that compel people to move within their homelands or traverse various borders in the contemporary world that is characterised by extensive and rapid movements of people. It addresses this need by bringing together historical and contemporary accounts and critical examinations of the displaced, by articulating the commonalities in their lived experiences. It accomplishes the task of charting a new path in displacement studies by offering a number of studies from interdisciplinary and diverse methodological approaches comprising ethnographic and qualitative research and literary interpretations to emphasise that although the forms and conditions of mobility are highly divergent, individual experiences of displacement and placelessness offer a critical challenge to the artificial categorisations of people's movements. Each chapter adds insights into the different configurations of displacement and placement, and offers fresh interpretations of migration and dislocation in today's rapidly changing world. The contributors critically examine a variety of displacement processes and experiences in the context of war, tourism, neoliberal policies of development, and the impact of various agro-forestry policies. They focus on a range of countries, enabling a thorough comparative analysis in terms of scope and range of examples and methods of analysis. This book makes an original contribution to the growing body of literature on displacement, and will appeal to a wide readership including advanced undergraduates, and graduate students and professors in disciplines such as human geography, development studies, sociology and anthropology, regional studies and comparative impact assessment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly illustrated atlas of the world’s deserts and drylands, their ecosystems, and their environments Deserts and drylands account for more than 40 percent of land on our planet. Characterized by a lack of water and extreme temperatures, they are the result of atmospheric stability, large landmass characteristics, rain shadows, and cold ocean currents. They appear harsh and hostile, but deserts and drylands are also exceptionally beautiful environments. Desert ecosystems often teem with diverse forms of life that exhibit astonishing ingenuity in the face of such forbidding conditions. The World Atlas of Deserts and Drylands takes readers on a guided tour of some of the most awe-inspiring desert environments on Earth, explaining their environmental and ecological dynamics and describing the techniques used to categorize and map them. From the ever-expanding Gobi of Mongolia and China to the ancient Namib of coastal Africa, this is the ultimate reference book for deserts. Features a wealth of color photos, maps, and infographics Describes the resilient and complex biodiversity of the world’s desert and dryland terrains Covers subtropical deserts, continental deserts, rain shadow deserts, and ocean margin deserts Addresses the challenges posed by global warming and human activity, and discusses solutions and opportunities Written by a team of leading experts

This book was released on 2022-02-20 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of Indian Nation India, the cradle for one of the most ancient civilizations in the world, has a long and rich history, spanning thousands of years. In fact, the history of India begins with evidence of human activity millions of years ago. The Indus Valley Civilization was the first major civilization. Vedic Civilization witnessed the rise of major polities. Almost the whole country was controlled by Mauryan Empire and it was again united under Gupta Empire. Muslim rule in the subcontinent began when the Arabs conquered Sindh and Multan. Then, several invasions from Central Asia led to the formation of Muslim empires, such as the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire. Mughals conquered most of northern India and finally controlled the entire sub-continent and Afghanistan. Mughal Empire declined in the 18th century. Then, East India Company gained ascendancy over South Asia. Dissatisfaction with Company rule led to an unsuccessful revolt in 1857, after which India was directly administered by the British Crown. In the 20th century, a nationwide struggle for independence was launched by Indian National Congress. The subcontinent gained independence from Great Britain in 1947, but the country was partitioned into two dominions of India and Pakistan. After Independence, a new era began. This comprehensive book, comprising four volumes covers the entire history of the Indian Nation in a very compact manner. This book is an asset for historians, teachers, students and general readers, at par.

Download or read book Fearful Symmetry written by Sumit Ganguly and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
